You Don’t Need Fixing. You Need Remembering.
Most of your personality isn’t you. It’s who you had to become to stay safe around the people you loved most. The overthinking. The emotional shutdown. The need to always “get it right.” The fear of being fully seen. You think it’s just how you are, but it’s not. It’s a wound. A code. A contract you signed when you were too young to question it. Your father’s absence taught you to doubt yourself. Your mother’s overprotection taught you to keep women happy. Their pain became your pattern. And now that pattern is driving your life. But here’s the truth: You’re not broken. You’re just still being run by a nervous system that never got to feel safe. And no amount of success, journaling, or morning routines will fix what’s rooted in survival. Until you face the core wound, you’ll keep trying to upgrade the mask. I just dropped a full video breaking this down: → The 4 parent wounds that quietly control your identity → How they shape your relationships, purpose, and confidence → What it actually takes to heal and rebuild your masculine self-leadership from the ground up Watch the full breakdown here 👇 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKvtFXAL-ig Drop a comment after you’ve watched.

Great work Jack. I love how you picked it apart and he came up with a solution. Honestly, I saw a little bit of my parents in all of your scenarios. i’ve been working on this a while, healing the inner child. But this was a great reminder for me as a current parent, and the things I picked up from your video that I wanna work on is to support, celebrate, encourage and let my kids know that their needs do matter. Keep up the good work, you are helping people and that is so needed.
Feedback
Hey lads quick one for you. I’m curious… what do you actually want more of in here? What topics hit hardest? What do you wish we’d dive deeper into? Is it more content around relationships? Leadership? Discipline? Daily structure? Purpose? or something else entirely? Or is there something you’re struggling with right now that you’d love to see broken down? This space is for you. I can throw content out all day but I want it to actually land and serve. So let me know, what would be most valuable to hear, see or talk about more? Drop it below. Straight up.

What I came looking for is a men’s group. Some support. I think it’s powerful and it’s hard to find. Other men who are in the same situation but working together to help each other. I see other groups that show just that, like meditation, martial arts etc. Together we are stronger, divided we struggle. Thanks for the work you are doing and have done already. I feel stronger knowing there is a place to come and be with like minded people.
What’s the pattern you keep falling back into, even though you know it’s costing you?
We all have a default loop. The thing we do when life feels overwhelming or uncertain. The one that gives temporary relief… but long-term pain. I’m curious, what’s yours? No shame here. Just awareness. Drop your vote and if you feel like it, share a bit more in the comments.

Hey Jack this is a good thought provoking question, thanks. It took me a minute to figure it out but besides isolating, screen time or drinking alcohol my pattern that is actually costing me is passiveness. I know what I need to do (divorce) but I’m just too afraid to do it. I’m not sure what negative things will happen but I know I will be better off if I just do it, start over, create a new beginning and live life to the fullest. I’m stagnant but I’m doing it for others and not myself. The hard part holding me back is caring for my family and not wanting to be selfish but in the back of my mind I’m not actually sure being passive is the right thing for me or my kids. I am grateful for this platform to be able to communicate that and it helps me get one step closer to my goals by not having to carry it around without at least writing it down. Thanks also for helping these other Gentlemen who are struggling. What I would say to them is if you are here and able to try and fix yourself then you are a good man already and don’t fucking forget it. My word of advice to the other two guys would be ……. “ Believe in yourself and remember what other people think about you is none of your business “
Carl Jung on YouTube
Hi Guys I watched a video on YouTube that I wanted to share with you all. Jack I hope this is okay with you and feel free to delete if not. The video sums up many things that I have dealt with in the past that brought me suffering and I hope it can help you too. It’s 30 minutes but brings a lifetime of insight. Description: When you stop being emotionally available to everyone, everything changes. This video explores Carl Jung’s deep insights on energy, boundaries, and psychological power — and how choosing silence can transform your life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5jhc1Y65Lg
💰 Rewiring Your Relationship With Money (Without Losing Your Soul)
I used to tell myself I was going to make a lot of money. Even as a kid, I had this quiet belief that I would find a way to create wealth. Not for status or flash, but because I wanted to take care of the people around me. I wanted options. I wanted freedom. I wanted to build something that mattered and not have to ask for permission to live life on my own terms. But at the same time, I grew up hearing all the usual noise. “Money is the root of all evil.” “Rich people are greedy.” “If you care about helping people, you shouldn’t do it for money.” “Don’t chase money, chase purpose.” And slowly, without even realising it, those ideas started to embed themselves. So while one part of me was dreaming big and wanting to provide, another part was quietly sabotaging, afraid that maybe having money meant I’d lose my values, or become someone I didn’t want to be. This is the silent conflict so many men carry. On the surface, we’re trying to grow our income or get more stable. But underneath it all, we’ve internalised beliefs that money is dirty, that wealth makes us less grounded, or that somehow we’re not meant to have it. Here’s the truth though. Money isn’t evil. It isn’t good either. It’s neutral. It’s a tool. A resource. A mirror. It reflects whatever we bring into it. If we’re wounded, insecure, or ashamed, money becomes a way we avoid, prove, or compensate. If we’re clean, mission-driven, and grounded, money becomes a way we serve more, create more, and expand our reach. Some men avoid money because they don’t believe they deserve it. Some chase money because they think it will finally make them feel worthy. In both cases, the issue isn’t money. It’s identity. When your self-worth is tied to your output, or your bank balance, you will always be at war with yourself. You’ll burn out, shrink back, or stay stuck in guilt about wanting more. But when you heal those deeper stories and see yourself clearly, everything shifts. You stop pretending you don’t care about money.
