About this listen

 There’s a painful truth most people never admit: the men who look confident, successful, and put together are often the ones collapsing internally. They’re hiding, performing, people pleasing, and losing themselves one tiny lie at a time.

In this episode of Patterns of Power, I sit down with Dr. Robert Glover — therapist, coach, and author of the bestselling book No More Mr. Nice Guy. His work has changed millions of lives, including my clients, and this conversation goes straight to the heart of why men struggle… and what actually creates lasting change.

We dig deep into Nice Guy Syndrome — why it starts in childhood, how it destroys relationships, and why people pleasing is actually manipulation. We talk about lying (even “harmless” lies), boundaries, masculine integrity, and how men can finally step into honesty, power, and purpose.

In this episode, we cover:
• Why Nice Guy Syndrome forms early in life
• How being “the good guy” kills intimacy
• Why people pleasing becomes manipulation
• Why lying — even tiny lies — keeps you powerless
• How Nice Guys and jerks are two sides of the same survival pattern
• Why boundaries are an act of love
• How honesty creates REAL connection
• How men can stop seeking approval and start living with clarity
• Why community is essential for recovery

If you’re tired of pretending… tired of shrinking… tired of living small — this episode is your wake-up call.
