Summary

You’ve heard “love yourself” your whole life. But no one told you how to do it without becoming soft.

This episode is for men who are done pretending—who’ve crushed goals but still feel hollow inside. It’s not fluff. It’s not therapy-speak. It’s a firestorm of truth about how to rebuild respect for the man in the mirror.

Because if your mind is a battlefield, your success will never feel safe.

This isn’t self-love for the weak.
It’s for warriors.
Hit play—and get back on your throne.

0:09.0	How to Love Yourself Without Losing Your Edge.
0:23.8	You've been told to love yourself, but let's be real.
0:26.4	Most of that advice is just sugar-coded BS.

0:28.8	Sounds cute.
0:32.7	Sounds like a book title until you're alone with your thoughts at 2 a.m.

0:55.7	Let me ask you something. If your mind was a place you had to live in,
1:01.8	would you survive the night? Would it feel like a sanctuary, a peaceful place, a place of refuge,

1:45.2	begging to be next to you or your partner absolutely in love with you and still hate the man
1:51.2	staring back in the mirror. Because when the lights are off and the applause dies down,
