My guest on today's episode is Connor Beaton, a leading men's work facilitator, speaker, teacher, and coach. But ladies, you might want to stick around because Connor offers plenty of insights into the inner working of men. His new book, Men's Work, is out January 31, and you can order it here: https://mantalks.com/book During our conversation, we chat about shadow work, the shadow self, and how you can integrate your shadow self into your life for more freedom. Halfway through, we change tracks as I ask Connor to share the latest research on men's addiction to pornography and how it can affect relationships. He candidly shares many of his own struggles in hopes of helping others. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

My guest today is Hailey Magee (@haileypaigemagee on Instagram, which is where I found her), a certified coach, educator, and writer who helps individuals set empowered boundaries and break the people-pleasing pattern. It's no surprise I loved her content the moment I saw it, and I had to have her on the show so she could share her unique perspective. We chat all about setting boundaries with and on social media, the nuance of boundaries (that social often doesn't allow the space for), figuring out whether to break off a friendship, and so much more. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did. Read the show notes for today's episode at terricole.com/471 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When something bad happens to someone you dislike, do you feel a little glee inside? Maybe a lot of glee? Or do you cheer when the villain in a movie or TV show gets what's coming to them? There is a German word for the feeling of joy we get from the suffering or misfortune of others: schadenfreude. The other day, I wondered: is there an opposite of schadenfreude? There is, and it's called freudenfreude. This is when you find joy in the success and happiness of others. (It's an English word created from a German word where "freuden" means "joy.") Today's episode is all about why we experience schadenfreude, its high cost, and how to find real happiness in the joy of others.
