Revisit: Finding Light in the Darkness: Confronting Male Suicide
Episode #1064 In this powerful and deeply honest revisit, the men open up about a topic that often goes unspoken—suicide. This isn't theory. It's personal. They've been there. Some have stood on the edge. Some have lost people they love. And they're here to talk about what really goes on in those dark moments most men never share out loud. They break down the real weight of shame, isolation, and the pressure to keep it all together. They share what helped them turn things around and why most guys don't reach out until it's almost too late. If you've ever felt like you're supposed to be the strong one, but deep down you're struggling, this episode is for you. It's not polished. It's not perfect. But it's real. And that might just be what someone needs to hear right now. If you're ready to start shifting things—even just one step—get the free training here: https://fixmarriage.thepowerfulman.com/scales.

Revisit: 50 Shades of Integration: Harmonizing Masculine and Feminine Energies
Episode #1063 In this episode, we revisit a raw and honest conversation about what happens when masculine and feminine energies get out of sync in a relationship. This isn't about old-school gender roles. It's about energy, leadership, trust, and polarity — and what happens when those things go missing. Doug and Coach Chris unpack why so many men are stuck trying to be the "nice guy" and how that often leaves their partner feeling more like a caretaker than a lover. They dive into what women actually want: leadership, decisiveness, and safety. Most men have stepped back from this role without realizing it. They talk through what it looks like to lead from the heart, how to rebuild polarity, and small moves that shift the energy fast. If your relationship feels flat or disconnected, this conversation will hit home. Want to learn how to lead without trying to fix everything?

Revisit: Unmasking Authenticity: The Journey to Your True Self
Episode #1062 We're revisiting one of our most talked-about conversations — and it's still just as relevant today. Most men think they're showing up as their real selves. But the truth?

You'll hear stories from our own journeys and learn the steps we took to start showing up with more truth, more clarity, and more confidence.

The Power of Femininity: Connection and Trust in Relationships
Episode #1060 In this episode, Doug sits down with his wife Erin for a real, honest conversation about what happens when women feel like they have to carry everything and what shifts when they start softening back into their natural feminine energy. Erin opens up about her journey from being the "Angry Wife" to creating real connection, trust, and intimacy in their relationship. They talk about the difference between leadership and control, why so many couples get stuck in power struggles, and what actually works to bring the spark back. If you're constantly walking on eggshells or feeling like roommates, this conversation will hit home. You'll hear practical examples of what small changes look like. Things like planning the date night, opening the car door, or even just saying "Come sit with me" can shift the whole dynamic when done from a place of care instead of control. This isn't about playing outdated roles. It's about learning to create a relationship where both people feel safe, seen, and connected.
