Being Human Podcast

As an entrepreneur since 2018 and know how work occuipies 100% of the mind. As a neuroscientist, I'll explain why it's difficult to stop thoughts about work, ruminating and problem solving. It's does really feel like theres always something to figure out and finish the moment you're done work. I'll share three things in this video:The HPA Axis and how it effects your stress levelReframing the Question "How to I stop thinking about work"A simple exercise to do after work today

Why do I and so many Catholic men struggle with an inner critic that says they are never "good enough" despite their business success? This can be from parental figures but also if we experience God as the judgemental force rather than The Good Shepherd. In this video, we explore how to overcome perfectionism and hustle culture by integrating Catholic spirituality with neuroscience to find true internal peace. WANT TO SPEAK WITH SCOTT?I work 1-on-1 with Catholic entrepreneurs and high-performers to quiet the inner critic and reclaim their peace through an 8-week program. Is success without presence really success? Combining Ignation Spirituality, Neuroscience and Mindfulness.Apply here: https://www.scottstemarie.com/mens_transformation_2026

When we overthink, first we need to get specific about what thoughts are bothering us. Thinking only positive, reassuring thoughts wouldn't be an issue, right? So what we're really dealing are negative thoughts and rumination over a specific area of our life. Try this exercise with me to settle the mind and become aware of the thought factory.

Guys who are really hard on themselves and have a strong inner critic can actually get really far in life, but it's exhausting. I was motivated by my inner critic my entire life. I asked this simple question though "Is it really success is there's no inner peace and joy?" When you change your inner dialogue, your entire life changes. I totally understand that the negative self talk can be motivating and push us to accomplish, succeed and change. That only lasts so long though. In this video I discuss another way to motivate yourself and change the relationship you have with you. 👉 Ready to stop being so hard on yourself? Brother, your entire life changes when you do.

Why are men so lonely? For me, it wasn't the lack of friends or people around me. It was more about spending years performing and ultimately, not liking myself. In this video, I gently break down the real reasons men feel lonely, disconnected, and like they don't truly belong even when they're surrounded by people.If you've ever felt out of place in your own life, struggled with anxiety and feeling a sense of not belonging, I know it feels hard, I get it.

What's the best way to navigate life's endless questions and find meaning in the seemingly meaningless? We deal with this not by desperately seeking answers only intellectually or by rigid methods, but by living out the questions themselves. I'm encouraging you to let experience and life itself provide the answers, suggesting that sometimes, it's okay to let things be meaningless for a while. For those looking for inspiration, a different perspective, or simply a reminder that it's okay not to have all the answers, this video is a must-watch.
