The 5 Stages of the Male Psyche

Biologically, Mythologically, and via Nietzsche's "Metamorphosis"

I’ve been visited by some “ghosts” from the past.

I mentioned last week that I’ve recently come out of a dark “Road of Trials” period. A large part of this has come from reconciling with some of my life’s choices.

Funny enough, in the past couple months a bunch of people from my past have reached out to me. Old friends have been getting in touch. Some former coaching clients have reached out to work with me again. Even an acquaintance from the Marines randomly reached out to ask me why I didn’t serve.

One person whom I didn’t know, reached out too:

(Also on Apple Podcasts and the other podcast apps)

On the one hand it felt great to hear I had a positive impact, especially from something published 3 years ago.

On the another hand, it was interesting to hear myself talking about transitioning to the “King” phase with the arrival of my first child, while still feeling in that transition with my second coming soon.

EDIT: Before I got to hit send on this one, my son was born.

I’ll be in a cocoon the next couple weeks. New episodes will be out again in late May.

Cowabunga,
