What’s Your Identity As A Man?
Manage episode 443001605 series 3603133
How do you define yourself? Are you a father, a husband, a brother? Are you defined by your job or what you do?
On the very first episode of Brave Men Dare, Craig & Ben explore the topic of identity and what happens when your identity changes, or worse yet, is taken away from you.
The conversation also touches upon making friends as adults, dopamine addiction, the impact of childhood experiences, and family dynamics.
Craig & Ben also discuss what it was like rolling together for the first time in jiu-jitsu and what it’s like moving through life sizing men up all the time.
They explore the impact of trauma on their identities and how they navigate their emotions while reconnecting with family members.
The discussion also touches on the importance of processing grief, understanding one's true self beyond societal labels, and the role of jiu-jitsu in their personal growth. Ultimately, they reflect on the journey of self-discovery and the challenges of letting go of past identities.
