Life Unbound Coaching

Do you ever notice that it feels like people in your life let you down more than usual during the holidays? Is it really them, or could your perception of family disappointment be heightened? Why does this happen? The holiday season, with its emphasis on family, can stir up old, unresolved pain from our childhood. Many of us haven’t fully grieved or processed the letdowns and wounds we experienced in our families growing up. Those feelings don’t disappear—they linger beneath the surface. During the holidays, when family takes center stage, this pain often resurfaces, even if we’re not fully conscious of it. Suddenly, minor irritations—someone being late, disagreements about dinner, or seemingly insignificant actions—can feel magnified. But it’s not really about the stuffing or the schedule—it’s about deeper, lingering pain from the past. Here’s your invitation: Before stepping into the whirlwind of family gatherings, give yourself the gift of some quiet grief work. Take time to journal, meditate, or sit with your feelings. Honor what’s beneath the surface so you can show up with more peace and less reaction. If you have no idea how to do grief work, reach out to me. It’s one of the most important things we can get good at. I The holidays don’t have to be a battlefield for unspoken pain—they can be an opportunity for healing. ??

Have you ever tried to save money on something important that ultimately cost you way more money over the long-run? Struggling with emotions and relationships might seem like something you can put off, or like the consequences are manageable. But did you know that avoiding professional support costs men tons of money in costs connected to physical health, career success, and personal satisfaction? Unaddressed emotional pain and outdated ideas about how to be a man ends up costing people jobs and opportunities, and it often leads to long-term health issues. Some of this shows up as broken relationships, missed promotions, avoidable medical bills, and endless spending on numbing out with distractions like alcohol or video games. One of my favorite proverbs is that the wise person sees trouble coming, and avoids it! But the foolish just keeps going and is therefore punished. Now, imagine knowing all these costs, and deciding to flip the script: healthier relationships, emotional freedom, a better sense of self—and all of the natural rewards that result from prioritizing your well-being. That’s exactly what I help boys and men across the country work toward every single day in my coaching work. The choice is simple—invest in change now or keep paying for the problems later.

Are there stories about your life that you’ve never told? Growing up, I didn’t know the full extent of what my mom survived, but I simultaneously felt all the impacts. Working at a domestic violence shelter opened my eyes to how much pain and unspoken brokenness men carry—and how it gets passed down through generations. So much of it is normalized and taken for granted, despite the devastating impacts on our communities. The truth is, healing starts when men come together to talk, and to face the pain we’ve ignored for so long so that we can commit to building lives rooted in power, love, and connection. This is the mission behind so much of my coaching work. If this resonates with you, hit follow for more. Let’s tell the truth about our pain so that we can heal, let go, and live into more power. #MensHealing #HealthyMasculinity #BreakingTheCycle #LifeCoachForMen #MensMentalHealth #EmotionalHealing #ToxicMasculinity #VulnerabilityIsStrength #AuthenticMasculinity #SelfImprovementJourney #MenSupportingMen #HealingJourneys #EmotionalIntelligence #BeYourBestSelf #CoachingForMen #LifeCoach #OnlineCoaching #TraumaHealing #Inspiration #Motivation #Growth #Goals #Love #Power #Healing

If you ask a group of men, "when is the last time somebody hurt your feelings," a lot of men won't have a good answer, because we are so well practiced in disconnecting from our own vulnerability. That doesn't mean that we're not getting our feelings hurt, or feeling sad, or feeling afraid, or feeling excited, or feeling curious. It just means we have spent so much time practicing disconnecting from these human feelings that we have confused the game with the truth. But the truth is that it's wonderful to be alive, and it's wonderful to feel all the feelings that aliveness brings. What are you doing to recuperate and celebrate your capacity to feel today? #feelings #healing #love #growth #courage #strength #vulnerability #inspiration #motivation #growth #connection #joy #life #power #coaching #lifecoach #onlinecoach #1on1coaching Posted @withregram ? @monroviaboy May we all heal from the things we don’t talk about. “winter wash 24” OUT NOW in the ??!

Does the phrase “toxic masculinity” make you cringe? A lot of people misunderstand and misuse the phrase. At its best, it’s the idea that men’s identities shouldn’t be forced into a tiny and dissatisfying box. It’s about rejecting harmful ideas that keep us disconnected, isolated, and unfulfilled. Instead, how do we learn to live from a place of courage and vulnerability? Strength and softness? Power and connection? Bottom line, we deserve to experience life as a whole human being. This isn’t criticism—it’s an invitation to live fuller, freer lives. Don’t settle for anything less. What part of this resonates with you?

For so many men, there’s this unspoken belief that real intimacy and connection can only come from a romantic relationship. But what if we’re missing out on a deeper truth? When we place all of our emotional needs on one person, we’re not just setting ourselves up for loneliness—we’re also placing a weight on our partner that no one can carry alone and that truthfully nobody really wants to carry alone. It's stressful. Real, lasting fulfillment, on the other hand, often lies in a broader constellation of community, in relationships that allow us to share our vulnerabilities and humanity without reservation. Outdated models of manhood, however, discourage us from being vulnerable and open with the other men in our life whose support we actually deeply need. When we cultivate friendships where we can be open, honest, and seen, we’re not only strengthening ourselves but also taking steps toward breaking the cycle of isolation so many men find themselves trapped in. It takes a village to hold us— and so intimacy doesn’t have to look just one way. ?? Ready to explore this journey?

When people are safe to express the full range of human emotions everybody else in their lives is safer and healthier. How many of us are carrying the fears and blocked up emotions of our parents? How many of our own inner childhood selves are still blocked up, repressed, and punished for expressing weakness / feelings? What does it look like to prioritize the healing work of liberation? What are we waiting on?

An amazing poem from @nikita_gill In another universe, I meet my father when he’s a child. We play catch in the woods and as we play he tells me he isn’t allowed to cry but sometimes the world hurts him and he doesn’t know what to do with all that pain. So I give him the shoulder he needs to cry on. And he does. He does until the tears are done. Afterwards, I buy him ice cream and I listen to his laugh, the glowing warm laugh of a child who knows he is safe. I wish someone could have done that for him. Been a kind, safe place for the child he used to be. Would it have made a difference? Would it have made a difference?

How to be an adult in relationships? That's exactly what a group of us have been learning and practicing for the last 7 weeks in my mindful love group program. Giving up on the illusion that it's my partner's job to deliver me from my biggest pains is a tough pill, but on the other side is the only possible skills it takes to finally deal responsibly with all that old pain: I learn how to take care of myself. From such a wise and compassionate position is the only way meaningful intimacy can take place. #intimacy #personalgrowth Posted @withregram ? @francescapsychology Podcast out now on YouTube!

Are you a people pleaser, constantly making compromises that leave you feeling unfulfilled, just to avoid rocking the boat? These behaviors usually happen because deep down, we fear that we’re not truly lovable. You’re not alone. So many of us carry wounds from childhood that keep us stuck in patterns of self-doubt and self-sabotage in our adult relationships. But here's the good news: we can break free from this cycle. In my book club, Mindful Love: 9 Weeks to Transformative Intimacy, we’re reading David Richo’s??*How to Be an Adult in Relationships*, and he offers a simple but profound strategy to change this. Act lovingly. When we shift our mindset from trying to win in every situation to asking ourselves, “How can I be as loving as possible right now?” we create space for connection and healing. The more we practice love, the more we begin to feel lovable. This strategy is an important offering, because many times the idea of “loving ourselves” feels abstract and difficult to operationalize. His insight shows how we can implement a practical behavior in our life that will slowly have the effect of helping us to feel more lovable, which will ultimately transform our decision-making and lives. If this resonates with you, maybe it’s time to focus on loving yourself as much as you love others. ??
