Breaking Free: Overcoming Fear and Finding Leadership in Relationships

Episode #963

What if the fear of rocking the boat is exactly what's sinking your relationship?

Too many men are quietly stuck—avoiding tough conversations, tiptoeing around decisions, and hoping things somehow just…get better. But that hesitation? It’s costing you your peace, your leadership, and the connection you crave with your wife.

In this episode, Chris Hansen and I get real about what’s actually holding men back. We dig into how fear shows up in marriage, how indecision slowly erodes intimacy, and why taking back leadership doesn’t mean being a jerk—it means showing up.

You’ll hear stories from real coaching conversations where men were scared to set boundaries, afraid to commit to change, or just stuck in that familiar “messy middle.” We break down the identity traps, the ego plays, and the excuses that keep men stuck—and what to do instead.

Whether you're feeling stuck in your marriage, your career, or your own head—this one's for you. It's time to stop sitting on the fence and start stepping into the man you know you're capable of being.
