In Episode 8 of The Shadowproof Podcast, host Coach Jose dives deep into how communication and boundaries shape the way we connect, protect, and reveal who we truly are. Every mask we wear — the one that says “I’m fine,” or “I don’t need help” — is held in place by unspoken words and unclear limits. This episode challenges you to face the truth behind your silence, to speak with intention, and to create boundaries that honor your peace instead of pleasing others.

In this episode of the Shadowproof Podcast, we explore how the idea of “being strong at all costs” can actually hold us back. Many men, especially veterans, are taught to hide vulnerability, push through pain, and never ask for help. But real strength comes from knowing when to open up, seek support, and embrace growth.

Join me as we reframe strength—not as silent suffering, but as the courage to face our shadows, build resilience, and create lasting change.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to always be “the strong one,” this episode is for you.
