    I’m going through second divorce because I married my mom wearing a different mask. I’m secure and ready but what is a saving grace is this podcast and the value it brings. Men listen and grow into your new skin and move on through to your true self

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 193 - Masculinity Researcher - Steph McFarland
Q: What does healthy masculinity look like in a partnership?
A healthy man is invested in his family, emotionally connected, open to influence from his partner, and capable of owning his emotions while also supporting his partner's needs.
Episode 193 - Masculinity Researcher - Steph McFarland
Q: What is masculinity, and how do you define it in this context?
Masculinity is a spectrum of expression; it includes strength and protection as well as tenderness and emotional availability, with authenticity and alignment to one's true self being central.
Episode 204 - Why You Stay Stuck: Moving Divorce Trauma Out of the Body - Greg Vorst and Michael Nolan
Q: How long does it take to see meaningful change, and what might a listener starting tomorrow expect?
Progress is gradual and non-linear. Early changes come in small shifts in breathing control and self-regulation, with emotional freedom expanding over months to years. Consistent practice—like 20-30 minutes daily—yields noticeable improvements over time.
Episode 204 - Why You Stay Stuck: Moving Divorce Trauma Out of the Body - Greg Vorst and Michael Nolan
Q: How do you diagnose someone in survival mode during a divorce, and what signs should listeners look for?
Survival-mode signs include somatic symptoms like aches, poor digestion, sleep disruption, and chronic tension. The nervous system's stress response guides us; we look for posture, breathing patterns, and energy levels to determine where someone is and tailor interventions accordingly.
Episode 204 - Why You Stay Stuck: Moving Divorce Trauma Out of the Body - Greg Vorst and Michael Nolan
Q: Does it sound like you treat just men, which is fine? But what you see in terms of gender balance and whether it changes your approach?
We see a roughly balanced mix, often around 50-50, with variations. The therapeutic approach remains inclusive, but there are patterns in how men and women process emotions, and we aim to meet both with equal respect while acknowledging these tendencies.
