What motivates gay men? Do all gay men only want sex? What if an open relationship can work? Can I be spiritual or religious as a gay man? Questions, questions, questions. It seems we as gay men are constantly questioning ourselves. To help me answer some of these questions is Brian Madigan of Gay Guru Coach. Join us as we laugh, go deep, and try to dissect the truth of what so many gay men struggle with so they can live their life on their terms. About Brian Brian Madigan has been a full-time life coach, and mentor, since 2007. He’s helped clients: find new careers or enrich the ones they’re in; discover new love or renew a fading relationship; and deal with the stresses of day to day living But, most of all, he’s helped them sink deep into themselves and discover how to express their truth in the world. Now, he’s applying all of that to his true passion, helping queer men. His goal is to help his clients discover what their best life looks like and move into it. He has spent his life exploring spirituality, personal development, stress management, and anything else that helps make life easier and better for people. Eventually, he started sharing what he’d learned with other people: holding seminars, teaching mediation, doing energy healing, and transforming people’s lives with his coaching. Now he has focused his life and business on helping queer men get to their core and express it out in the world. He believes that together they can create a world where it’s safe for his clients to be themselves and life becomes a powerful ongoing journey into wholeness.

As RuPaul sez, "If you can't love yourself, how the hell you going to love someone else?" But what many of us as gay men don't realize is when we love ourselves, all is well, all is coming, all is delicious. Our guest today, Jerome Braggs, guides, teaches, and illuminates ways for us as gay men to step into the powerful space of loving ourselves fully. About Jerome In 2004, Jerome checked into the hospital with what he thought was the flu, but instead got diagnosed with anemia, pancreatitis, giardia, pneumonia, kidney failure and AIDS. Then, doctors gave him seven days to live. Using what he knew about the Law of Attraction, he miraculously healed himself after three months, and thought he knew the answer to healing, manifestation, and wellness, until he found himself back in that same hospital, with the exact same diagnosis, a year and half later. But this time, doctors gave him 48 hours to live. On his deathbed, he had a Near Death Experience (NDE), where he was told by Source that the true key to healing and wellbeing was to: “wholly love yourself.” After that NDE, he began a mystical journey with self-love where he learned to heal himself, and miraculously transform his entire life into something more well and delicious than he could have ever imagined. Since then, he has heeded the call to share his miraculous story, and this sacred + transformative lesson: “When we love ourselves, all is well, all is coming, and all is delicious. But not a moment before.” Connect With Jerome Website Facebook Instagram Hey Guys, Check This Out! Are you a guy who keeps struggling to do that thing?
