294: Unleashing the Monsters In Our Closets – Mark Julien

As gay men, there are monsters in our closets that are frightening and the comical. For most of us the monster of coming out is one that terrifies and terrified us the most. Capturing the essence of that journey, in comic book form, Author Mark Julien joins us to share about his desires to use his creativity to help us discover the nurturing power of love, and the belief in one's self, can act as a catalyst for healing and self-acceptance in his new graphic novel - Becoming Abel. Showcasing the importance of self-acceptance, this episode covers:
  • Ways to activate self-care and self-love
  • Candidly discusses the power of mental health therapy
  • How the love of what you do can be the catalyst for being a beacon of light in the world

050: Facing your Daddy issues head on - Rick Clemons

I've typically had an on again, off again relationship with my Father. It's not easy and sometimes I feel like a real asshole because I don't' have a great relationship with him. Then I realized, it takes two to show up in the arena to play the Father/Son game and I can only be responsible for how I show up and face my Daddy issues. I've chosen at this stage of life not to show up - for many reasons - but I'm also keenly aware that I am letting my Daddy issues go without guilt or shame.As the Holidays are upon us, I thought I'd share my tools for dealing with my Daddy issues, even at age 56 in the hopes that this will help another man struggling with his own Daddy issues.Hey Guys, Check This Out!Are you a guy who keeps struggling to do that thing?
