Self-Compassion For Men - You Are The Way You Are For Good Reason
Self-compassion is one of the most powerful tools a man can develop—but it’s also one of the hardest.
👉 Article & Video: Self-Compassion for Men – You Are the Way You Are for Good Reason
After 17 years of leading men’s groups, I’ve seen thousands of guys—from pro athletes to everyday dads—struggle with shame, self-judgment, and feeling like they’re never enough. The truth is, you are the way you are for good reason, and learning to meet yourself with self-compassion is where real change begins.
In this video, I share my personal journey of practicing self-compassion—from my decision to move to a small surf town to reconnect with who I really am, to my lifelong battle with emotional eating. I talk about why certain habits are so hard to change, and how understanding where they come from can help you stop beating yourself up and start healing.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or ashamed of your patterns, this video will help you reframe those challenges through the lens of self-compassion for men. When you begin to understand your wiring—and treat yourself with the same kindness you'd show a friend—you create space for growth, peace, and purpose.
