    She Said "I'm Done"… 3 Months Later, He Became a Different Man

    She said she was done. No real explanation. Just "I'm unhappy." And everything Skippy thought was stable... wasn't. In this episode, Tara sits down with Healthy Men-tality member Skippy to talk through what the early stages of separation actually looked like, and how he went from full panic mode to something he hadn't felt in years: clarity. In this episode: Why trying harder often makes things worse The 30-day no-emotional-pressure reset and what it actually did How nervous system regulation stopped the spiral The childhood patterns that quietly wreck adult relationships What it looks like to stop fixing her and start leading yourself Skippy didn't save the marriage. But his kids started noticing a different man walking through the door. That's the shift. If this episode hit close to home: Tara runs a free 2-hour live training called From Relationship Rock Bottom to Rebuilding the Man, built specifically for men who are in the middle of this. Not advice. Not blame. Just clarity on why you react the way you do under pressure, why trying harder keeps backfiring, and what actually needs to change. It's the conversation no one had with you before things got to this point. 👉 Save your spot here: REGISTER HERE Connect with Tara: Follow @unblockyourbs on Instagram @unblockyourbs on TikTok Watch the episodes on YouTube Book a 1:1 call with Tara Get the Nervous System Reset Toolkit Submit a question for an upcoming Podcast or LIVE __________________________________________________________________________________ Disclaimer: The content shared in this podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered professional medical, mental health, or legal advice.

    From the ER to Breath Work: What Unprocessed Grief Does to a Man's Body

    There's a moment when everything you thought was stable… isn't. Not slowly. Not with warning. Just… gone! That's where this conversation starts. Bill was married for 16 years. He thought they had normal problems. Manageable ones. Then one conversation changed everything. His wife asked for a divorce… and he found out she had already moved on. In this episode of Unblock Your BS, I sit down with listener Bill as he navigates the raw, real aftermath of being blindsided. This isn't a polished success story. This is what healing actually looks like in real time. Inside this episode, we unpack: What happens when your nervous system goes into survival mode Why anxiety, panic, and even physical symptoms show up after emotional shock The hidden patterns most people miss in long-term relationships Why trying to "win them back" often pushes them further away The difference between guilt (growth) vs. shame (identity) What forgiveness actually looks like in practice—not theory How to stop replaying painful thoughts on repeat Why emotional regulation is the foundation for everything Most people aren't reacting to the event… They're reacting to the meaning they've created around it. And until you learn how to regulate your nervous system and shift those internal patterns… you'll keep reliving the same emotional experience, just in different situations. If this episode hit for you: You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need a different way through it.

    Why She Sends TikToks Instead of Talking

    If your partner is constantly sending you relationship content… and your first instinct is to feel annoyed, confused, or defensive… This episode is going to challenge that. Because what looks like a "TikTok problem"… is usually a communication and emotional safety problem. Inside this solo episode, we break down what's actually happening when someone avoids direct communication, and how your response might be reinforcing the very cycle you're frustrated with. In this episode, we cover: Why sending TikToks is often a safer form of communication How social media algorithms reinforce emotional patterns The difference between symptoms vs. root problems in relationships Why defensiveness shuts down emotional safety instantly How to shift from reactivity → curiosity What emotional safety actually looks like in practice The role of childhood wounds in adult relationship dynamics Why labeling your partner (or being labeled) keeps you stuck How to take ownership without taking all the blame This episode will help you stop pointing fingers… and start understanding what's really going on beneath the surface. If you're realizing you don't have the tools to navigate this… you're not broken, you were just never taught. If you want to become the kind of man who: Stays calm instead of reactive Knows how to communicate without shutting down or blowing up Creates emotional safety in your relationship That's exactly what we work on inside Healthy Men-tality. 👉 You can apply here: www.unblockyourbs.com/healthymen Or DM me the word HEAL on Instagram or TikTok No pressure, just a conversation to see what support makes sense for you.

    Men Don't Have to Get Screwed in Divorce (Here's the Playbook)

    Most people don't go into marriage expecting it to end. And when it does… they don't have a roadmap. If you're a man facing divorce, you've probably heard the same story on repeat: You'll lose your money. You'll lose your kids. The system is rigged against you. But what if most of that is just noise? In this episode of Unblock Your BS, I sit down with Joe Dillon, co-founder of Equitable Mediation Services, to break down what actually happens in divorce, and how to navigate it without destroying your finances, your relationship with your kids, or yourself. Joe has spent 17+ years helping couples avoid courtroom battles and unnecessary chaos. He also lived through a highly contentious divorce as a child, which shaped the way he approaches this work today. We get into: Why divorce becomes a financial and emotional war zone The biggest myths men believe (and what's actually true) How mediation works—and when it doesn't What you can do right now to protect your time, money, and future And where this conversation really lands… is in how you approach the process. Because most people are making decisions way too early, based on eмоtion, assumptions, or incomplete information. One of the biggest shifts Joe shares is simple: do the discovery before the deciding. Don't agree to anything until you actually understand what you're working with. We also unpack: Why the "system is rigged" narrative isn't the full story What 50/50 parenting actually looks like in real life (and where most men get it wrong) What child support really is (and why it's often misunderstood) How to build a parenting plan that doesn't fall apart What actually damages kids during divorce… so you don't make it worse. Key Takeaways Divorce isn't just emotional—it's a negotiation Most conflict is driven by fear, control, and miscommunication Child support is shared responsibility, not punishment Parenting doesn't stop when it's "not your day" Your kids didn't ask for this… protect them from the fallout If this episode hit for you: 👉 Want to stop reacting and start responding?

    From Affairs + Escapism to Healing: Coleman's Nervous System Comeback

    At 25, Coleman was cheating on his wife, chronically lying, and living in constant fight-or-flight. He didn't just lose his marriage. He realized he didn't like who he had become. This episode is the raw, unfiltered story of what it actually takes to change, not through mindset hacks, but through nervous system healing. From rock bottom… to somatic work, subconscious reprogramming, breathwork, and rebuilding emotional integrity. Today, Coleman helps women regulate their nervous systems, and teaches men how to create emotional safety instead of control. This conversation goes beyond "self-improvement." It's about what happens when your body finally learns safety. In This Episode, We Unpack: Why trauma isn't just the event, it's the story the body keeps telling Talk therapy ("mind down") vs somatic coaching ("body up") How breathwork completes the emotional processing loop Why peace can feel unsafe after years of chaos Co-regulation vs codependency… and what "fixing" is really about What emotional safety actually means in relationships How anxiety shows up in the body (and why you're not "just an anxious person") Why many men resist emotional work, and what shifts that Coleman shares the moment he looked at his life and thought: "I don't like who I am." That moment led him into: Plant medicine Somatic healing Inner child work Reparenting Intensive breathwork practice And ultimately…. into becoming a nervous system coach. If This Episode Hit… Send it to someone who: Says they're "just anxious" Struggles with control in relationships Feels stuck in fight-or-flight Wants to feel safe in their own body About Coleman Coleman is a holistic health and wellness coach with over 12 years of experience.
