The problem is, all that unspoken pain has to go somewhere. In this episode, Jason Lange joins G-Rex and Dirty Skittles to talk about men’s mental health, vulnerability, emotional embodiment, and why men need spaces where they can stop performing and start telling the truth. Jason opens up about growing up in a home where physical closeness, emotional language, and open conversations about feelings were missing. As a teenager and young adult, that disconnection showed up as anxiety, shame, numbness, and difficulty building intimacy. His healing began when he found men’s groups and somatic therapy, where he learned how to reconnect with his body, name his emotions, and be witnessed by other men without judgment. This conversation hits some deeply human stuff: male isolation, sensitivity in boys, healthy masculinity, fatherhood, asking for help, and the pressure men carry to always appear strong. Jason breaks down why emotions often begin in the body, why “I’m fine” is not a full emotional vocabulary, and why vulnerability does not make a man weak. It makes him more honest, more grounded, and more capable of showing up for the people he loves. Whether you are a man trying to reconnect with yourself, a partner trying to better understand the men in your life, or a parent raising emotionally healthy boys, this episode is a reminder that healing starts when we stop hiding from what hurts.

With the right support, it can become emotional intelligence, courage, and strength.Vulnerability does not mean falling apart. It can look grounded, steady, accountable, and powerful.Asking for help is one of the strongest things a man can learn to do. Actionable Items Take one minute each day to check in with your body and ask: “What am I feeling, and where do I feel it?”Find one trusted person, therapist, coach, or group where you can practice telling the truth without pretending you are fine.When anger, stress, or anxiety shows up, pause before reacting and name the feeling out loud.For parents, help kids build emotional language by naming what they might be feeling without shaming them for feeling it.

  • Dominic Petty on Healing Relationship Trauma, Self-Acceptance, and Finding Inner Peace

    Dominic Petty on Healing Relationship Trauma, Self-Acceptance, and Finding Inner Peace
    Jun 11 2026
    What happens when an engineer’s brain meets the messy, beautiful chaos of human relationships? In this episode, G-Rex and Dirty Skittles sit down with Dominic Petty to talk about trauma-informed coaching, emotional intelligence, self-acceptance, and why sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is absolutely nothing.

Anything else is just where life has taken you.” — Inspired by Dominic Petty Episode Description Dominic Petty didn’t start out planning to become a coach. With an engineering degree from Stanford, an MBA from Wharton, and a career built around solving complex problems, he spent years using logic, structure, and strategy to make sense of the world. But life had other plans, boo. In this thoughtful and unexpectedly funny conversation, Dominic joins G-Rex and Dirty Skittles to talk about how his path shifted from engineering and consulting into trauma-informed mindset, intimacy, and relationship coaching. He shares how learning emotional intelligence changed the way he led people, listened to people, and eventually helped people untangle the relationship patterns keeping them stuck. Dominic breaks down why so many high achievers are running on insecurity, why self-acceptance is often the missing piece in relationships, and how silence can sometimes be the wisest damn answer in the room. He also explains how emotions are data, not identity — and why returning to a baseline of peace takes awareness, practice, and a willingness to stop making parts of yourself wrong. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt broken, too much, not enough, or trapped in the same unhealthy cycles. Dominic reminds us that healing is not about forcing someone else to change. It is about waking up to yourself, learning what your emotions are trying to teach you, and choosing a relationship with yourself that does not run on shame.

It takes active presence, emotional awareness, and consistency. Actionable Items Before reacting in a tense conversation, ask yourself: “Will what I’m about to say improve on silence?”When a strong emotion shows up, name it, feel it, and ask what story is sitting underneath it.Practice five minutes of quiet presence each day. No pressure to be perfect — just show up consistently.

And let’s just say, Mark has lived a few lives in one lifetime. Mark opens up about being adopted, chasing a childhood dream all the way to professional baseball, serving on the SWAT team, and eventually finding his way into functional medicine. But this conversation goes way deeper than career pivots. Mark shares how the suicide loss of his mother became a defining moment in his life, pushing him to become what he calls a “hope dealer” — someone committed to bringing light into the darkest places. Together, they talk about how physical health and mental health are deeply connected, why our words and thoughts matter, and how people can accidentally start identifying with their diagnosis instead of their humanity. Mark also shares honest wisdom about forgiveness, boundaries, faith, resilience, self-worth, and learning to love yourself in a healthy way. This episode is raw, hopeful, and packed with reminders that healing is not about pretending everything is fine. It is about getting back up, choosing hope when life gets ugly, and remembering that you are more than your pain, your diagnosis, or the hardest chapter of your story.

It is about freeing yourself from bitterness.Resilience is built through hard things, not by avoiding them.Learning to love yourself in a healthy way may be one of the hardest and most important lessons. Actionable Items Watch your words. Notice when you say “my depression,” “my disease,” or “I can’t,” and try shifting that language toward healing and possibility.Build one small daily gratitude practice. Start with something simple: sunshine, movement, a good conversation, your breath, or one more chance to try again.Check your circle.
