Return To Authenticity
J Stamatelos is helping men replace chronic insecurity and shame with a sense of internal peace and grounded confidence |EP112
Episode 112!
Struck by the events of 9/11, which took place when he was 15 years old, James (J) was convinced stopping radicalization and violence was the best way to help his community. After earning multiple degrees, he went on to work for the City of Pittsburgh Office of Emergency Management & Homeland Security and Region 13 Counter-Terrorism Fusion Center.
As an emergency management specialist, J routinely deployed with Pittsburgh SWAT to barricaded suspects and hostage situations, responded to major natural disasters, trained citizen responders, and authored the operationalization of Pittsburgh's evacuation plan.
Due to a mix of chronic stress and endless self-loathing, J hit rock bottom that nearly cost him his life in December of 2010. Luckily, he was fortunate to be surrounded by great people who taught him how to repair his relationship with himself. This event - and the way others engaged with him - changed his life.
As he began to heal and reconnect with others, James realized that virtually everyone around him was going through some version of the same problem. Constant self-criticism, a deep sense of worthlessness, and hiding the truth from others in shame. If he wanted to help, he needed to learn why this was happening - and how to fix it.
Tune in to hear how J helps men replace chronic insecurity and shame with a sense of internal peace and grounded confidence.
Enjoy!
