🌟 Breaking Free from Shame 🌟

Today at Dude School, we’re diving deep into understanding shame—how it shapes us, restricts us, and what we can do to break free from its grasp.

Shame is a powerful emotion that can often keep us from living our truest lives. It tells us we’re not enough, that we should hide our real selves. But what if we challenged that narrative?

This week, we’re exploring:

• The roots of shame in our lives.
• How it has served us, and when it stopped serving us.
• The physical and emotional responses we experience when confronted with shame.
• Strategies for reframing our stories to embrace vulnerability and strength.

📘 We’re guided by powerful resources, including John Bradshaw’s Healing the Shame that Binds You and insightful discussions from Connor Beaton of ManTalks.

💬 I invite you to reflect: When has shame held you back? How are you working to overcome it?

Join the conversation below or DM me to learn more about how we tackle these tough topics in Dude School. Your journey to healing is just beginning, and you don’t have to walk it alone.

What does being a “real man” mean to you?

This week in Dude School, our focus is on exploring masculinity—what we’ve inherited, what serves us, and what doesn’t.

One of our challenges is to interview someone in our lives about their perspective on masculinity. Here are some questions we’re asking:

• What does being a “real man” mean to you?
• Who shaped your beliefs about masculinity?
• What do you think men struggle with most today?

It’s been eye-opening to hear different perspectives and reflect on how they shape our own understanding.

What does masculinity mean to you? Share your thoughts below—I’d love to hear them.

You don’t have to carry the weight alone anymore. Let’s do this together, DUDE. 💪

4 days to go… Are you ready?

Most of us were taught that being a “man” means:
👉 Figuring it all out on our own.
👉 Burying our emotions to stay strong.
👉 Carrying the weight of everyone’s expectations without ever asking for help.

But let’s be honest—how’s that working out?

The truth is, you don’t have to do it alone. Dude School is a 10-week program where men come together to build confidence, emotional resilience, and meaningful connections.

This isn’t about “fixing” yourself. It’s about learning how to show up—powerfully and authentically.

💡 We start in just 4 days.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it.

DM me or click the link in my bio to join us. You don’t have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders anymore.

DUDE, let’s grow together. 💪

01/22/2025

Five days to go…

Imagine this:
You’re sitting in a room (even virtually) with men who get it.
Men who are tired of pretending, tired of carrying it all alone, and ready to grow into the best version of themselves.

This is Dude School.

It’s a space where you can:
✅ Release the shame that’s been holding you back.
✅ Build real confidence that doesn’t rely on “acting tough.”
✅ Learn how to show up authentically in your relationships.
✅ Be part of a brotherhood that supports your growth, no matter where you’re starting.

It’s not about fixing yourself—it’s about becoming the man you were always meant to be.

💡 We start in 5 days.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. Don’t wait until “someday.”

For years my relationships were filled with drama and I hated it. I was drained by it, sick and tired of it. Yet when I look back on the one common denominator in all of those relationships and drama - it was me 🤢

While that truth hurt, it also was exactly what I needed to begin to stop the cycle and patterns. It wasn’t actually about drama. It was unresolved pain inside of me. When I found Mens work, I got to face this dragon and learn how to befriend it, own it and transform it.

What’s your dragon?

Dear Men,

I wanted to share an important update about *Dude School* that feels aligned with where we’re all headed this year. We’ve extended the program start date by two weeks to give more time and space for the right men to join this powerful journey.

For those who don’t know, *Dude School* is a 10-week live, heart-centered program designed to help men step into deeper confidence, connection, and purpose. It’s not about “fixing” anyone—it’s about giving men the tools to feel safe, seen, and supported as they grow.

*Why This Matters:*

You know how much we talk about leadership, purpose, performance, showing up authentically, and being the change. This program embodies those values and creates a ripple effect—partners, brothers, fathers, friends, and sons all showing up differently in their lives.

*Special Invitation:*

To honor this community, I’m offering:

• *$100 off* for anyone who joins using the code *DUDE100*
• *$100 referral bonus* to you for every person you refer.
• *A free 60-minute private coaching session* (valued at $250) for both you and your referral.

This is more than a program—it’s a movement toward conscious growth and healthy masculinity. I believe the right men from this community can play a huge role in that.
