Life is full of ups and downs, left and right turns, flying and falling, and in order to find success in it all, in our opinion, we must be willing to face the man in the mirror. But what does it mean to embrace the challenge of that? When people say "its you versus you", who is the you that you're facing? And "what" are you facing? These questions…

Our intention with this episode was to give you a modern mask co-host update, but something came up that we felt was much more pressing: men trusting other men + how to find a solid mens group and brotherhood. Atlas has been thru a series of mens groups over the last 6 months, and one of his biggest intentions was to learn how to trust men more. Th…

In this weeks episode, we put Atlas in the hot seat by bringing on his partner, Gabby, Women's Life Coach, to talk about their relationship. From behaving strictly based on their coping strategies, to being fully controlled by their subconscious attachment styles, all leading to a break up where they didn't speak for a year and a half until they re…

One of our favourite things to do as men is fix things. We love a job, a task, a problem - we love to seek out answers and provide help for those around us. And - that isn't what is always needed, which can be really frustrating to understand sometimes. That's why we wanted to have this conversation - not to "fix" it, but to hold space (see what I …

The title speaks for itself, but to percolate your senses a bit more, here are some other questions we address: what does "alone" mean? What does "lonely" mean? Is it the same for everyone? Can you be physically alone and also not feel lonely? Are the two words one and the same? As men, we are told that "being able to do it on our own is a sign of …

Movember - a time to really hone in on the importance of both our prostate and mental health. And this year, we felt it was incredibly important to dissect one of the biggest influences to our mental health (and maybe even to our prostate) - our intimate relationships!

We spend most of our lives focusing on being successful men... but when do we stop and ask ourselves: who is this "success" really for? Do I want it because it gets me validated and seen by the world, or do I want it because it actually means something to me? Does it allow me to be who I really am, or do I have to wear a mask everywhere I go? Is su…

It is one thing to know that we are the creators of our life, but it is a whole other to actually implement and follow thru on the necessary habits and routines to help us achieve our goals.

Self-awareness and self-development are not the same thing - they are incredibly different. Think about all those books you've read - you "know" the information now, but have you put any of it into practice? What about that new habit you took on - did it bring you the vitality you were looking for, or did it silently leave the room? Now imagine if …

Self-love is a concept we have discussed in many separate episodes but have yet to give the concept its own space. And, from what we have experienced, self-love, or lack thereof, plays a huge role in our mental health as men. Unfortunately, the challenge we face is that loving ourselves seems weak, vulnerable, confusing, and honestly, a waste of ti…

One of the greatest challenges we face as men is the disconnection we have with our own emotions. We know that it comes from being told "boys don't cry", "man up", and "don't be a pussy" when we were little lads... but have we ever considered what kind of emotions that version of us was experiencing? What would happen if we could time travel and ta…

The influence of porn is substantial in our society, and access has only become easier. Unfortunately, the negative affects of porn on our psyche and what we believe is "real sex" are also substantial. Men, it's time to talk.

Preparing for this episode was tough. Just the thought of reflecting on our childhoods and asking ourselves,"what influence does our childhood have on our lives?" and "do I have a mother and/or father wound?" seemed both exciting and scary as hell. In this episode, we really open up ourselves to the idea of what a mother and father wound, if + how …

"Men live lives of quiet desperation." "Women, children, and dogs are loved unconditionally. Men are loved under the condition that they provide something." Statements like these are everywhere with even more trying to counteract their validity, and while this may not be 100% of mens experience, just the fact that it is a reality for some is someth…

For the longest time, we presumed, based on our upbringing, that integrity only meant "stay true to your word" and "be honest, always.:" But where did our word come from? Is it truly our word, or someone else's? What does "honesty" truly even mean? Why does the dictionary define the word "Integrity" in two different ways, and what about a building …
