The In-Between Man Podcast.
The In-Between Man Podcast's primary mission is to help educate, men of all ages, to understand one simple question, "Why Are Men Struggling Today"? Our second primary goal is to create a private "male only" community where men can communicate and interact with other men in a positive way and forward thinking manner. This podcast will leverage Discord to build the online community. This podcast wants to "give back" to the greater good of all men who may or may not be struggling in any capacity.

In this episode, I share nine statements I remember telling myself before I become willing to share my deepest and darkest emotions with someone. The statements I made to myself convinced me that I was unique and no one else in the world could ever understand how much emotional pain I was in. It’s all just a lie in the end to keep me feeling isolated from help.
There were many times when I thought about harming myself was my only answer and even after considering it, I was too afraid to follow through with it because I didn’t want to put my x-wife and three boys through that level of serious trauma. So I didn’t and because I didn’t, I was compelled to do what I feared the most. Which was, talk about my most inner secrets I swore I would go to the grave with. I was in enough pain already and finally shared them all with a trustworthy person, I felt reborn.
In this episode, I use the example of a backpack that I carried with me every day and any emotional pain I had on a personal or professional level I would stuff the backpack with these emotional rocks. Over the years of countless suffering, the backpack became so overloaded with emotional rocks I never worked through, I couldn’t carry the load anymore and my knees buckled.
I hope most men can identify with this analogy because I believe we all do this. I think most men get ourselves painted into a corner where we finally have to ask for help with our emotions or we either follow through with harming ourselves. Harming yourself is NEVER a viable option, but why are so many men doing it today?
If you can identify with any of my statements I told myself when I wasn’t willing to share my internal pain with anyone, that is a good thing. It means you aren’t alone and might be willing to accept that you’ve put yourself through enough emotional pain already. Feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions and I will be sure to get back to you. More to come. I’ll see ya in there.
Keep smiling,
