Welcome to another episode of "Embodied Relating with Braedy Mac." In today's episode, Braedy delves into the complex topic of men and their struggles with feeling worthy. He discusses how the perception of not being enough often leads to a cycle of striving for external validation, particularly in pursuing love. Brady illustrates the importance of understanding love as an internal game and the misconception that doing more leads to being loved more.
He explores the common belief for men that achieving and providing more will result in receiving more, and how this mindset can lead to a sense of disillusionment in midlife. Brady shares his journey of integrating fragmented parts of his identity, emphasizing the power of self-forgiveness and self-love. He encourages listeners to examine and embrace the parts of themselves that they deem unlovable, ultimately realizing that they are already worthy of love.
Tune in to this thought-provoking episode as Braedy guides listeners through the journey of self-discovery and acceptance, ultimately finding worthiness from within.
