Summary
- Taking a step back to breathe
- To niche or not to niche?
- Loving people where they are at
Taking a step back to breathe
Life can get busy. So busy, that you begin to stuff things away with the hope of coming back to it later but you never do, so all the systems, garages, and relationships get clogged up with life.
I think that’s what happened when we took a break. We [then] had time to breathe a little bit and could see things that we had ignored with our kids, ignored with ourselves … they didn’t need to be band-aided, they needed to be worked through. (Brandy Eldridge)
Taking a step back from the podcast allowed Billy and Brandy to reexamine their life, clean out the metaphorical – and physical – garage, and get on track with what was important to them.
Remember that even though life can be, and will be, difficult, you have an abundance of blessings.
You do not need to berate yourself for your problems. You can deal with them while you are grateful for the blessings you have.
To niche or not to niche?
What we’re going to do is just to do this podcast the way we want to … we’re going to talk about things we want to talk about, and hopefully [they’re] things you want to listen to. (Billy Eldridge)
Billy and Brandy wanted to create great content, but they pressured themselves to make great content before they really knew what they wanted to make.
The direction now is to make the content that they want to and then embolden it with greatness.
Loving people where they are at
The Beta Male Revolution Podcast is a space where topics are spoken about without judgment.
Billy and Brandy welcome discussions around marriage, relationships, life, and faith deconstruction.
I want to love people where they are and not where I think they should be … I want to get rid of that timeline and belief system that people have to change to move towards me and my belief systems. (Billy Eldridge)

Hello, and welcome to Beta Male Revolution podcast, a podcast that started out by seeing the world through a different lens of masculinity, and now has become a place for people to deconstruct their shit in the second half of life. I’m Billy Eldridge.
[BRANDY ELDRIDGE]:
And I’m Brandy Eldridge. As a married couple, we’ve had a ton of disagreements, tried to be honest about challenges and setbacks and hopes of becoming better versions of ourselves. So grab a cup of coffee, come hang out, let’s chat a little bit like we’ve known each other for 20 years.
[BILLY]:
That’s what I’m talking about. Let’s get jaggy with it.
[BRANDY]:
No.
[BILLY]:
What?
[BRANDY]:
No.
[BILLY]:
Hey Brandy, it’s been a while.
[BRANDY]:
We are back.
[BILLY]:
We’re back.
[BRANDY]:
Some of you may not have known we left.
[BILLY]:
We’re moving forward.
[BRANDY]:
Yes.
[BILLY]:
That’s what this little talk will be about, moving forward, with the podcast where we’re headed.
[BRANDY]:
We did a whole episode on how we were taking a break and refiguring everything, rebranding, letting the podcast take a different turn. So our listener —
[BILLY]:
Tens of listeners.
[BRANDY]:
Our listener has been wondering when we are going to come back and we’re back.
[BILLY]:
Here we are.
[BRANDY]:
With our whole rebranding, our whole new new outlook.
[BILLY]:
Ah, we talked about how we were going to slow down and take care of ourselves in the last episode and take a break and reprioritize some things that had gotten whack. So it’s been a handful of months. How do you feel like we did?
[BRANDY]:
Well, I remember somebody I used to work with would always say, if you pick up a rock, a lot of squiggles will come out. If you keep picking up rocks, more squiggles keep coming out. I feel like we picked up rocks. I felt like we’d been going so fast for so long. I think a lot of people have busy schedules, but I was working full time, you’re working full time in two different states, now three different states. Both have these long hours we work and then I come home and we’ve got school to do. We’ve got three kids and we’re both very involved or say very involved, involved in our community. So when all that stopped or we took a break, we started to notice all the cracks and all the squiggles. That’s how I feel, like, holy crap. We really screwed some stuff up. We really neglected some things. That’s how I felt.
[BILLY]:
Yes. I had high hopes of like healing and refreshing and there was going to be this time of peace and reconstructing things in an orderly, organized manner, but life doesn’t always happen that way.
[BRANDY]:
We did clean out the garage.
[BILLY]:
We did clean out the garage and I had a total mental shutdown breakdown during that where I could barely talk or function because I was so overwhelmed.
[BRANDY]:
The garage was bad. It was like, if you’ve seen that episode of friends and Monica opens up the closet that they had in their apartment and it’s just stacked with wall to wall stuff. She was known as this OCD clean person, but she had this closet where she threw everything. That had been our garage. Like, it has just, it was terrible. There was a point where, I’m I shouldn’t be admitting this, but I am here. It is. I’m laying it out there. I’m pretty OCD about keeping my house clean, but I throw everything in the garage just thinking if I put it in there, it’ll go away and it didn’t to the point where we could barely walk in there.
It was bad. It’s been like two years of just throwing stuff in there because I clean out the kids’ closets and their old clothes or our stuff and Amazon boxes, just things that were broken. We had the TV in there that didn’t work anymore and we just put it in the garage thinking, well, we’ll go and take it to the dump or get rid of it. It just never, it’s still there. Like, that’s the one thing we haven’t like, what do you do with a broken TV?
