Most men mask trauma with ego. We tackle radical accountability and the "villain" phase in this recovered feature.

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions regarding mental health and thoughts of self-harm. Please see resources below.

Owning your part in a failure is easy to say but difficult to do. In the second half of our extracted "Hurt People Hurt" segments, Heath strips back the ego to discuss the "villain" phase most men go through but never admit to.

We dive into the reality of using physical progress and "relationship hopping" to mask insecurities, the "Great Dad" trap, and the hard truth that unhealed people will always continue the cycle of pain.

Most men suffer in silence until it breaks them. In this extracted feature from the original, removed "Hurt People Hurt" episode, Heath opens up about his darkest moment in the shed one cold night.

We discuss the out-of-body experience of hitting absolute rock bottom, the failure of the "man up" mentality, and the moment when accepting help becomes the only option left.

Confronting our past requires taking a hard look at the exact relationship mistakes, pride, and ego we usually try to ignore.

In this special Season 1 Finale, Producer Tim takes the host seat to ask the hardest questions we've received. We unpack the hypocrisy of how men maintain their physical assets but refuse relationship counselling, the isolation that comes from business obsession, and the heavy toll of unforgiveness.

Heath opens up about the wake-up calls that forced him to take accountability, whilst Luke sheds light on the silent grief of navigating IVF heartbreak.
