51: Why So Many Men Secretly Hate Themselves (And How to Change That)
Do you actually like yourself?
Not just love yourself in theory—but enjoy who you are, accept your flaws, and walk in real confidence?
In this episode of Next Third Best Third, I dive deep into one of the most overlooked pillars of men’s mental health: self-acceptance. After decades of working with men, I’ve seen how often we suffer in silence—struggling with negative self-talk, comparison, and the pressure to perform. This isn’t just a mindset issue—it’s a spiritual battle. As a Christian man, I’ve learned that we can’t love others well until we learn how to love—and like—ourselves.
We talk about the power of gratitude, self-care, emotional resilience, and breaking the cycle of shame that holds men back. I’ll share tools I’ve used to grow in confidence, positive identity, and emotional strength—from rewriting your inner narrative to honoring your boundaries, building healthy friendships, and learning to celebrate your wins without pride.
If you want to grow in emotional intelligence, authentic masculinity, and become the kind of man who leads with integrity and lives with purpose, this conversation is for you. The world doesn’t need more perfect men. It needs more whole men—men who are grounded, kind, and powerful because they’re no longer at war with themselves.
