Why Men Struggle to Speak Up (and How My Client Mark Found His Voice)

In this episode, Coach Tara sits down with Mark, a husband, father, and graduate of our Healthy Men-tality program, who shares what it’s really like for a man to go on a healing journey. They unpack the emotional toll of people-pleasing, what happens when fight-or-flight hijacks your relationship, and how nervous system tools and accountability changed how Mark shows up—for himself and those he loves. He opens up about his resistance to joining a group program for men, the fear of vulnerability, and how investing in himself ended up being one of the best decisions he’s made. This one is for the guys who want to be better—but don’t know where to start. Listen in for: The moment Mark realized his reactivity was rooted in people-pleasing What shifted when he stopped taking other people’s choices personally Why breathwork and emotional regulation helped him feel more confident How the group setting created a safe space for honest conversations His message for any man wondering if doing this work is worth it 🚨 Doors are open for the next round of Healthy Men-tality starting May 18th!
