Episode 69 of The Unearthed Man Podcast with Chad Peevy is live.

Chad permitted himself to break and untangle the mindsets he inherited growing up in an emotionally and physically abusive family in rural Arkansas.  Childhood trauma caused depression and anxiety to follow him into adulthood, but he developed a method for managing those. Chad realised he could do much better than survive; he could thrive. 


He is a best-selling author, award-winning speaker on human behaviour, and founder of the Institute for Human Progress and Development. Chad has worked with thousands of high-performing professionals worldwide, helping them achieve greater clarity, perspective, and overall well-being.

In this week’s episode, Chad openly discussed the challenges he faced growing up as a gay man in an environment opposed to homosexuality. His parents were both farmers and active members of a Baptist church. The worst thing in their eyes was to have a gay son.


Chad had to act as a chameleon to ensure he blended in, which was exhausting. His connection with his family diminished after coming out (and we discuss this terminology) around age 22. Chad was extremely open about his life growing up, the shame and guilt he carried and how that has shaped the person he is today. He is now doing fantastic work in supporting other gay men go through their “second coming out”.
