"Grounding into Gratitude & Dealing with Your Displaced Anger | Episode #048This week, we’re digging into the big stuff—like how to handle displaced anger, break free from people-pleasing, and challenge outdated stereotypes about masculinity. We explore how mindfulness and gratitude can help you stay grounded, even when life throws you a curveball. Plus, we dive into how noticing your irritability and physically grounding yourself can shift your mindset in powerful ways.On the practical side, we share tips for eliminating brain fog in the morning, celebrating the growth of others, and learning how to stop caring what people think about your lifestyle choices. And, as always, we sprinkle in some chaos: Steve gets fired up about perseverance, JP confesses his undying love for Kendrick Lamar’s "GNX," and we brainstorm whether advertising on a Macy’s Day Parade float could be the ultimate power move.Life’s unpredictable, so why not celebrate the wins, rethink what’s possible, and laugh along the way? Tune in for honest reflections, actionable advice, and a few ridiculous ideas that might just inspire you.00:18 Guests are coming3:25 Bringing our audience unique and interesting perspectives9:45 Awareness around how you treat strangers when you aren’t feeling your best11:40 Dealing w/ Displaced Anger13:15 Society stereotypes about masculinity15:45 Disciplined mindfulness18:00 Running in the Rain20:15 Being your own support system22:00 People pleasing26:30 Rejoicing in the growth of others29:30 Not caring what people think about your lifestyle choices31:25 Noticing your irritability35:15 Nothing is guaranteed in this life38:30 Physically Grounding yourself in gratitude43:00 Come back to this video on episode 4,00046:55 “I want the Whoop AI to be my friend”47:30 Steve loves the idea of perseverance 48:55 JP is very grateful for Kendrick Lamar’s “GNX”53:00 Eliminating Brain fog in the morning 58:00 Should we advertise on a Macy’s Day Parade Float??Join our exclusive community on GROUPED where you can find uncut episodes, messaging with your hosts, and early access to promotionshttps://app.grouped.com/whothoughtwedbeherepodJoin Whoop with our promotional code and get your first month free!https://join.whoop.com/us/en/Whothoughtwedbeherepod/Sign up for online therapy with our referral link.Get 20% off your first month with our podcast's link:Shout out to our favorite neighborhood screen printer JOKER INK  https://www.jokerink.com/NEW EPISODES WEEKLY!"Who Thought We'd Be Here?" is hosted by Steven Aigner and John Pugh. https://linktr.ee/whothoughtwedbeherepodPlease Like, Follow, Share, and Enjoy!!!
