The Masculine Revival Podcast

In this episode, I break down one of the most common and destructive dynamics I see in my work with men: simping inside marriage.This is the subtle, well-intentioned, “nice guy” pattern where a man abandons his backbone in the name of keeping the peace… and slowly erodes attraction, polarity, and respect in the process.We’ll talk about:-What “simping” actually looks like in a marriage-Why it often comes from insecurity and fear of conflict-How men confuse niceness with love-The hidden cost of over-accommodating your wife-And what healthy, grounded leadership actually requiresThis episode is direct. It’s practical. And it’s rooted in real patterns I’ve seen play out dozens of times inside couples coaching and the Brotherhood.If you feel like you’re walking on eggshells…If your wife says she wants you to lead but pushes back when you do…If you’ve lost respect for yourself in your own home…This one’s for you.—If you’re serious about becoming the kind of man your marriage actually needs, the Masculine Revival Brotherhood is where this work happens in real time, alongside other men who are doing the same.Apply here: https://masculinerevival.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/masculinerevivalBlog & Articles: https://masculinerevival.com/blogLead well.

The podcast is back! Brendan shares life and business updates, as well as briefly addressing what happened with the Unplugged dating app.Most couples chase tools, tips, and techniques to fix their marriage, but what if the real problem isn’t a lack of tools, but rather a heart posture that has drifted away from love, humility, and connection? In this episode I break down why heart posture — the orientation of your inner life toward your spouse — is the foundation of every healthy marriage, and why no amount of “skills” will work without it. We talk about resentment, forgiveness, curiosity, emotional safety, and how to reset the default orientation of your heart in real-world marriage dynamics.If you want practical insight that transcends tactics and gets to the groundwork of relational flourishing, this episode is for you.Work With Me / ResourcesMasculine Revival Brotherhood — https://masculinerevival.com1:1 Men’s Mentorship — https://masculinerevival.com/mentorshipCouples Coaching — https://masculinerevival.com/couples-coachingBlog & Articles — https://masculinerevival.com/blogInstagram — https://instagram.com/masculinerevival
