MAN up! Boys don't cry! Stop being a p***y! What, are you gay?
Have you ever heard these phrases hurled at you?
Have you ever felt like you didn't quite fit into society's masculine expectations and what it means to "be a man"?
These masculinity norms do more harm than you realize and hold you back from being your TRUE self and living YOUR best life.
Being manly isn't about fitting in with your culture's expectations, it's about standing out with your authenticity.
Being emotional, kind and empathetic isn't feminine, it's human.
It takes a ton more courage to stand up and say "this is me" than it does to just fall in line and be the man they said you SHOULD be.
Join us as we discuss these outdated and damaging expectations by expressing ourselves with honesty, courage and vulnerability.
We'll go behind the masks we all wear and show the world what being a man truly is.
If you're a man that's been holding yourself back from your truth and your greatness because they say it's not "manly", this podcast is for you.
Christian Lopez is a former professional athlete turned confidence coach and motivational speaker who has battled his own fears, failures and insecurities and is on a mission to help you do the same and realize that you're good enough just as you are.

Do What You Love
Some people say do what you love and what you're passionate about and you'll never work a day in your life.
Other people say nah, go get yourself a good job with good pay and benefits and security, etc. etc.
What's your opinion?
I recently went with the former thinking--after many years of the latter thinking--and I have not been this happy and fulfilled in a long time.
Listen to in to what made me realize I made the right choice. -

Have you ever wanted to make a move in your life--in work, in relationships, in physical fitness, in nutrition, anywhere--but were paralyzed by fear?
The fear of failure, uncertainty, not being good enough, what other people will think or say. A fear and hesitation that is so palpable that you can feel it and it ruminates in your mind non-top.
Have you ever faced that fear right in the face and said "f**k it" and just took that leap of faith anyways?
Listen in to this solo episode as I discuss a recent decision I made and leap of faith I took that scared the crap out of me for many months... and what happened when I finally took that leap.
It's good to be back recording an episode after a couple months off! -
