🎙 Swingz Podcast | Ep. 063: When the Lifestyle Changes You and When You Change the Lifestyle

Our friend John, husband to Ashlie Sweetie, is currently in the ICU fighting for his life. He’s in a coma, a father of four, and a hardworking diesel mechanic whose family is now facing overwhelming medical bills while he’s unable to work.

John and Ashlie have both been guests on this podcast and are part of the LifeInStyleSTL community. When someone in this community needs help — we show up. Period.

🎙️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Tonight’s episode is different — and it needed to be.

We’re talking honestly about how the lifestyle changes people over time… and how sometimes the most mature, healthiest decision is admitting that something that once worked no longer does.

This episode covers:

Why opening up isn’t always linear

Closing doors without calling it failure

Burnout, health, finances, kids, and shifting priorities

Changing boundaries without blowing everything up

Taking breaks, leaving the lifestyle, or redefining what it looks like for you

Why conditional consent is still valid

And why outgrowing something doesn’t mean you failed

This is a real, grounded conversation — not clickbait, not fantasy, not pressure.

NOT: Zyn

🧠 WORDS OF WISDOM

This episode closes with a serious conversation about masculinity, emotional restraint, responsibility, and why actions matter more than feelings — especially for men navigating relationships, families, and leadership roles.
