EP083 - How do you close the gap between the man you are and the man you want and need to be?
Today, my guest is Jeff Zacharski, who is on a mission to help men all over the world live an open-hearted life.
Like many of us, Jeff learned to be a chameleon, suppress his thoughts and shut his emotions down, not take risks. He felt alone in determining who he was as a man. He found himself going around in circles in the same unhelpful patterns, lacking any real substance in his relationships, overthinking and being stuck in his head while feeling disconnected from his body, not really understanding himself, believing in himself, or knowing what he even wanted.
He compensated by trying to fix everything or prove his worth by giving up more of himself. By trying harder to please. Doing more. Escaping himself. No matter what he did, it resulted in patterns of chronic self-neglect, overworking, and over-achieving. This almost always led to burnout. He was actually disconnected from his true nature.
In Jeff's words, "I'm still a fixer and creative solution provider and I am also grounded, present, confident, sensual, and a deeply loving leader of men. It was only when I went through my own coaching experience that I was able to identify these unhelpful patterns, unlock who I was, and make lasting changes that impacted every single area of my life."
Here are just a few of the gems we be tackling in this episode:
