Men: if you're exhausted trying to "be enough" and fix everything at home, this episode shows how to stop self-abandoning, regulate, and lead yourself so connection actually grows (instead of resentment).

In this coaching episode, we unpack the real reason many men feel "not good enough" and why trying to manage your partner's emotions keeps you stuck. You'll learn how codependency forms, why her mood can't define your worth, and the simple, uncomfortable actions that build emotional safety: stop fixing, own your lane, and make choices you're proud of (even if you're scared).

What You'll learn:
• What codependency looks like in men (plain English)
• Why "happy wife, happy life" backfires and what to do instead
• Emotional safety basics: predictability, regulation, curiosity over control
• How to rebuild connection with your kids (why calls beat texts)
• A 30-day check-in rhythm for couples to get out of survival mode
