ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Two recovering avoidants sit down for an honest conversation most avoidant men never hear.
If you've ever felt like the victim in your relationship, shut down during conflict, or used self-development to win arguments, this is for you.
David and Drew share how they stopped blaming their wives, took 100% responsibility, and learned vulnerability, empathy and emotional regulation to build secure, connected marriages.
This isn't theory — it's what healing actually looks like from the other side. Watch to see your patterns clearly and learn practical tools to change them.
