How To Overcome Sabotage (LIVE COACHING)

I sit down with Silvi Carter to explore the roots of self-doubt, emotional intensity, and the feeling of never being enough. Together, we unpack how childhood experiences, fatherhood, and the possibility of ADHD have shaped the way he relates to himself and his own energy. We discuss why so many men see their natural vitality as a problem to be solved, and how learning to accept that energy can transform self-worth, emotional regulation, and even addictive patterns. This is a powerful conversation about healing, fatherhood, and learning to work with yourself instead of against yourself.
