Episode 65: The Man in the Mirror

In this honest episode, I sit down with Sam Morris a men's work specialist, and professional relationship resurrection artist to talk about the thing nobody wants to admit: you might be the problem. And so might that nightly bourbon.Sam works with men when their relationships collapse, particularly when substance abuse has created a chasm so wide you could drive a semi through it. We dive into the uncomfortable truth that sovereignty means not being dependent on anything not a substance, not a person, not a government. The fact that men have been given zero tools to deal with their shit, why asking for help feels like admitting defeat, and how the entire system is designed to keep you stuck in the hamster wheel, quietly numbing yourself into oblivion.This conversation is a plea to men to stop consuming their way to the grave and start building the life they're actually meant to live. It's possible. And you don't have to blow up your entire existence to get there. You can build the airplane while you're flying it, especially if you've got someone in the co-pilot seat. Raw dogging life isn't for the faint of heart. But neither is slowly sucking your soul dry by refusing to take a look in the mirror. Be sure to share this episode with someone that would benefit from hearing our conversation. Listener discretion is advised: This podcast discusses sensitive topics related to trauma, abuse, addiction and psychedelic therapy, which may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners.  I encourage listeners to engage mindfully and take care of themselves throughout the conversation.Connect with Bijou FinneyIG: ⁠@mushroommamasita⁠Website: ⁠mushroommamasita.comInterested if following Sam's Journey or working with him?https://www.instagram.com/sam.g.morris?igsh=ZGJraXZ1M25ubXFl&utm_source=qrWebsite; www.samgmorris.com (current in development, will be launched soon)https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-g-morris
