Description

Are you the guy who's always been called "nice" or "great" but somehow your relationships don't work out? Feeling frustrated from always giving, sacrificing, and keeping the peace only to see things fall apart. It isn't your fault - and you're definitely not alone.

The nice guy syndrome isn't about being too kind. It's about being inauthentically nice because of fear, shame, and the belief that love must be earned through approval. 

Many men develop these tendencies in childhood as survival mechanisms, teaching boys to disconnect from their authentic selves and create a polished, people-pleasing image that follows them into adulthood and sabotages their relationships. I know that from my own personal experience.

In this episode, I share Brad's story and how he broke free from his nice guy tendencies and the impact it had on his relationship. I give you tips on how you can do the same. Check out the From Nice to Real: Breaking Free of the ‘Nice Guy’ Syndrome in Relationship, episode.
