Why do men keep ending up in the same toxic relationships?

In this Raw Minds Podcast episode Erick sits down with Mr. J, a relationship coach and betrayal trauma practitioner, to break down why most men struggle in relationships and keep repeating the same patterns.

This is not surface-level advice. This is real work.

Mr. J explains how childhood trauma, lack of emotional awareness, and avoidance shape the way men show up in relationships. From betrayal and cheating to codependency and emotional shutdown, this conversation exposes what is actually happening beneath the surface.

They dive into why men avoid hard conversations, why boundaries are rarely enforced, and how most people enter relationships without even knowing who they are.

If you have ever been cheated on, felt lost in a relationship, or keep attracting the same problems, this episode will hit.

This is about taking responsibility, facing your past, and building something real.
