The Over 40 Alpha Podcast

If there’s one thing an alpha male needs to realize, it’s that you cannot pour from an empty cup. You need to have your cup overflowing before you can become the generous provider, filling your family’s and community's needs. This is why self-love is so important. If there’s so much love within you, you won’t deprive yourself of a much-needed rest just so you can perform your duties better. You won’t wallow in despair and get held back by the smallest setbacks. Love, when it comes from within, gives you the strength to battle through all the obstacles that are keeping you from becoming the best version of yourself. Discover the ways you can love yourself better. “Endure the journey, whatever it is. That’s the story you will be telling your kids someday.
