#3395: How To Eliminate Your Passive Aggression [Part 1 of 4]
In this episode, I’m starting a four-part series on killing passive aggressiveness for good, especially in men. Passive aggression is when someone avoids saying things directly, like showing up late on purpose, staying quiet when they should speak, or making a point by doing nothing. I expect that from women sometimes, but when men do it, it makes us weak, soft, and more feminine. I want men to be direct and clear, even if the truth is uncomfortable. If a few guys can change this habit, we can start changing the whole culture.
Show Notes:
[06:21]#1 Stop procrastinating on a NO.
[13:10]#2 Stop saying you're okay when you're not all right.
[21:12]#3 Feigning a lack of understanding to avoid responsibility.

#3394: Stop Explaining Yourself
In this episode, I’m talking about why you need to stop explaining yourself so much. When you step into your presence and dominance, you don’t have to justify every action or decision you make. Explaining less not only saves you time and energy, but it also makes you look more powerful. The less you talk about why you did something, the more people respect it. Let’s break down exactly why this works.
Show Notes:
[01:11]#1 Explaining yourself to other people is a sign unconsciously of submission and subordination.
[06:58]#2 As a general rule, the more explaining you need to do to a person, the less chance they will get it, no matter what you say.
[16:11]#3 Get better at message clarity.

#3393: When It Makes Sense To "Burn Bridges"
You’ve probably heard people say you should never burn bridges. They tell you to leave on good terms, be polite, and keep the door open no matter what. But I’m here to flip that. There are times in life when burning the bridge is exactly what you need to do. In this episode, I’ll explain why sometimes you need to make it impossible to go back, and why that can be the best move for your future.
Show Notes:
[01:50]#1 You never want to go back, you know you never will, and you want to make sure you never do.
[08:32]#2 When you want to give yourself no option but to move forward and not allow yourself to slow down or step backwards.
[19:34]#3 When you realize the comfort and ease have been detrimental to you because of the temptation of and your easy access to them.
