Welcome to Sex, Love, and Soul! In this episode, I explore the complex and heartfelt stories behind the “nice guy” persona, as shared by viewers through personal emails. We’ll dive into the different ways upbringing, particularly dynamics with mothers, has shaped the lives of many men—sometimes leading to lifelong patterns of self-sacrifice, suppressed desires, and unfulfilled relationships.

I reflect on my own experiences growing up in a chaotic household with a hypercritical mother and share how those dynamics shaped my understanding of emotions, relationships, and boundaries. Together, we’ll examine why some men struggle to express their wants and needs, and how societal narratives around masculinity and kindness can lead to unintended consequences.

From exploring motivations for certain relationship choices to identifying patterns that undermine your true desires, this discussion offers insights and compassion for anyone grappling with these challenges. Whether you’ve struggled with these issues yourself or are simply seeking greater understanding, this episode provides valuable food for thought.
