16: The Pillars of the Mature Masculine with Chris Marhefka

Today on the show, I have a very unique conversation with Chris Marhefka about the different phases of growth we go through in life and shedding previous identities. Chris has seen a high level of success in his business endeavors and is now going through a transition into stepping into the unknown and following his calling to facilitate personal growth experiences for others. We dive deep into men’s self-development, a new way of leading, resistance to trusting ourselves, and showing up in full integrity.

Chris and I discuss:

• The importance of trusting yourself
• Balancing financial success with passion
• The challenges of moving beyond past identities
• The 3 phases of self-mastery
• The difference between the burden of responsibility and choice of responsibility
