When I tell nice guys, you need to make yourself your number one priority in life.

They get a deer in the headlight looks. Oh, no, that'll make me a bad person.

That'll make me like my father or all those jerks I've heard women complain about.

But no, the true sign of maturity, in fact, I think the number one characteristics of a mature

adult is a person who takes full responsibility for both their actions and their needs and their

wants. Now, we can't get all of our needs and wants met by ourselves. Now, we can get a good start

at it. We can get up and drink water and do some exercise and do some meditation. We can do a

lot of things to nurture ourselves, but we need a lot of people around us. We need a posse.

I call these cooperative reciprocal relationships. We need a lot of both friends, professionals,

practices, different things that fill our bucket. From there, we can give from the overflow.

What's up, guys? Welcome to the Michaela Peterson podcast. This is episode number 105,

and I'm hosting Dr. Robert Glover. Yes. This was a doozy of an episode, a doozy.

He's a marriage and family therapist, although he mostly focuses on coaching men. He's the author

of the best-selling book No More Mr. Nice Guy. We had some very interesting topics to cover.

We talked about what the issues are with being a nice guy or nice girl for that matter.

We talked about his experience learning how to be compassionate, but not resentful,

discussed his book, relationship advice, expressing inner emotions as men and women for that matter,

and more. It was a good one. If you enjoyed the episode with Adam Lane Smith on Relationships,

you'll love this one. Dr. Robert Glover is a really smart guy. I hope you enjoy this episode.
