Episode #1062

We're revisiting one of our most talked-about conversations — and it's still just as relevant today.

Most men think they're showing up as their real selves. But the truth? We all wear masks. Whether it's to protect ourselves, gain approval, or just keep the peace, those masks slowly become part of who we think we are.

In this episode, we get honest about why the masks go on in the first place, how they show up in everyday life, and what it really takes to start peeling them off. You'll hear stories from our own journeys and learn the steps we took to start showing up with more truth, more clarity, and more confidence.

If you're feeling disconnected, lost, or like something's just off — this is worth a listen.

Episode #1061

If your wife feels distant or emotionally checked out, you're not alone and it's not random. In this episode, Doug and Erin talk through why so many women pull back in relationships, especially when men start trying to improve themselves.

You'll learn what's really going on underneath the surface (hint: it's not about her not caring), and how broken trust and lack of emotional safety can make her retreat even when you're trying to do better.

Doug shares a story from a recent men's event where one powerful question helped a husband realize exactly how he'd slipped back into old habits. Erin breaks down the emotional impact this has on women and what makes them feel safe enough to reconnect.

They also cover the simple but powerful shifts men can make—things most guys overlook—that create real change in a relationship. No fluff here. Just honest reflection and practical takeaways you can put into action starting today.

Episode #1060

In this episode, Doug sits down with his wife Erin for a real, honest conversation about what happens when women feel like they have to carry everything and what shifts when they start softening back into their natural feminine energy. Erin opens up about her journey from being the "Angry Wife" to creating real connection, trust, and intimacy in their relationship.

They talk about the difference between leadership and control, why so many couples get stuck in power struggles, and what actually works to bring the spark back. If you're constantly walking on eggshells or feeling like roommates, this conversation will hit home.

You'll hear practical examples of what small changes look like. Things like planning the date night, opening the car door, or even just saying "Come sit with me" can shift the whole dynamic when done from a place of care instead of control. This isn't about playing outdated roles. It's about learning to create a relationship where both people feel safe, seen, and connected.
