Exhaustion Disguised as Anger
We are culturally conditioned to express a very narrow range of emotions, and for most of us, the most acceptable default is frustration. When you snap at your kids for being too loud, or you lose your temper over a misplaced set of car keys, it rarely has anything to...
Motivation Doesn’t Exist
We have been sold a massive, exhausting lie about how things get done. We are told that before we can tackle a difficult project, get back in the gym, or have a hard conversation, we first need to find our motivation. We treat motivation like it is a sudden...

When a man finally realizes he has been operating without boundaries, when he is utterly exhausted from people-pleasing, managing everyone else's emotions, and swallowing his own truth, he usually makes a massive overcorrection. He decides he is done being a doormat,...
