In this episode, Thomas M. Jones, creator of The Paradox Process, joins us to share how emotional transformation doesn't have to be complicated. With over 40 years of experience helping people from all walks of life — from business leaders to creatives — Thomas has developed a method that helps you interrupt negative thoughts and emotional patterns in real time.

We explore why traditional therapy can sometimes reinforce old narratives, how incremental change leads to lasting growth, and what it actually means to “get out of your own way.” Thomas explains why he believes the mind is simple, and how trying to “solve” your problems intellectually often gets in the way of real emotional freedom.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What The Paradox Process actually is and how it works
• Why shifting your feeling — not your story — is the real breakthrough
• The role of doubt and fear in personal growth
• Why emotional patterns show up no matter your background
• The power of small, repeated changes over time
• How self-approval helps dismantle old conditioning
• What it means to work with your subconscious in the moment
• What to do when growth feels like it’s plateauing

Today’s guest is GS Youngblood — author of The Masculine in Relationship and The Art of Embodiment for Men. His work centers around helping men live, love, and lead from their masculine core. If you’ve ever felt stuck in Nice Guy tendencies, struggled to lead in your relationship, or wanted to deepen your emotional strength without losing your edge — this one’s for you."

GS challenges the idea that all masculinity is toxic by offering an actionable model — the Masculine Blueprint — that helps men become grounded in their own power while becoming more relational with their feminine partners. His work bridges grounded leadership, emotional connection, and embodiment, rooted in disciplines ranging from psychology and martial arts to spirituality and BDSM. His two books have sold nearly 90,000 copies, and he’s become a highly sought-after coach for men seeking depth, direction, and relational mastery.

At its core, The Masculine in Relationship is about how masculine power can successfully coexist with the strong feminine — especially in modern relationships where polarity often collapses under stress, kids, Nice Guy habits, or passivity. GS provides a grounded, accessible framework for what he calls Relational Masculinity — a combination of emotional depth, structural leadership, and grounded nervous system regulation that pulls a woman back into play, softness, and sexual openness without control, manipulation, or passivity.
