The Weight of Shame: What Every Man Must Understand to Heal with Sam Gibbs Morris
In this week’s episode, we explore one of the most pervasive, yet rarely discussed emotions men face: shame. Joining me is Sam Gibbs Morris, a men’s coach, speaker, and soon-to-be father, whose personal journey from addiction and self-doubt to healing and empowerment will leave you with the tools and strategies to overcome shame.
Together, we unpack the role of shame in shaping men’s lives, relationships, and legacies.
We Cover:
👉 Origins of Shame - How childhood experiences shape adult insecurities.
👉 Addiction and Shame - Why we use substances and behaviors to numb pain.
👉 The Healing Journey - Steps to confront shame and turn it into growth.
👉 Parenting with Presence - How addressing personal shame transforms fatherhood.
👉 Sobriety Beyond Alcohol - Living truthfully by removing distractions.
This conversation moved me deeply. It’s not just about overcoming shame-it’s about learning to hold it, understand it, and transform it into strength. For fathers, husbands, and men seeking growth, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

    Really good video; I learned a lot. As a woman, I see any man who announces that he's an alpha male as being weak, self-centered, and insecure. A relationship disaster. Real alphas, true strong men, don't announce it, but they're the ones who look out for others, are the first to defend others, are the first to look out for the rights of others, are kind, etc. That's absolutely sexy! Now, I do disagree with the term "nice guy. Niceness in a man is sexy. I think the correct term here is "passive guy." Passive guys are not the same as guys who are kind and take other's preferences into account. Passive guys are weak, and that's annoying. Stating what you want and then working with your partner so both of your needs are met is the alternate to being passive.

    I discovered the book this year (2024) and it instantly changed my life. I’m 55 years old and it was as if the book was written about me. I could post an essay, but suffice to say one story: a job opening came up just after I finished it I would not have had the courage to take. I was “helpless” And” trapped” in a job in which I felt taken advantage of. There was a lot of luck in the timing but I increased my salary 35% and have a much better job. That’s only the surface, the changes within myself are profound. I feel like a man. If only I found this book when it first came out, I might have the world at my feet.

    Can we please stop using the word Nice to actually describe something bad. I know that he's pointing out that this version of nice isn't actually nice, but still I don't like the sound of it because it reenforces the idea that being nice is bad. While I respect Glover, have read the book many times and have even highlighted sections, and have also heard him interviewed so many times I could probably do the interview for him, a problem I have is the same with so many other authors, coaches, therapists or whatever title. It seems most of them are describing women that I've never met or maybe they've just never met the women that I've known. I could give countless examples but let me mention this one. In talking about boundaries and "standing up to her", he's often told the story of crossing the shoelace on the ground and how she'll respect you if you enforce boundaries and that women actually want you to enforce them and stand up to her. That's not my experience. Women I've known, if presented with a boundary, much like the shoelace, will boldly step over it, get right in your face and say "now what". I know that most coaches will say that women will test you and your boundaries, but to simply say test implies that you might be able to pass. With most women I've known, it's not a matter of seeing IF you pass, it's to see how long it takes before you fail. So for something as simple as the string on the ground example, a woman will boldly step over it and the "now what" ultimately has to end with you ending the relationship, no matter how minor the issue was. In the book, he gives the example of Jake and Tisha where, when they go out, Tisha usually has too much to drink and winds up dancing and flirting with other men. Jake calls her on it and at first she gets upset but Jake holds fast and is telling her that if she wants to stay married to him, she has to stop that behavior. She eventually relents. I'd love to know where that type of woman is because I'd see that scene ending with Tisha bringing another man into their bed and her intentionally letting Jake find them, just to let him know that he can't tell her what to do. Of course to something like that, Glover or any other author would tell you that you shouldn't be with that sort of woman and tell you to leave her, but so many women are incredibly strong willed to the point that you'd just wind up with another one just like her. Anyway, again, respect him but like with every other coach out there, I have no idea what women they're talking about because it's not the human ones from the planet Earth.

    Things that help my anxiety and sleep are long early morning bike rides or runs (sometimes both!), no alcohol, only one coffee a day usually before 9am, I think they are the major ones. Other things are eating a good low processed diet with plenty of veriety in vegetables, berries, nuts and seed but also meats and fish. Chamomile tea in the evening with the lights and screens dimmed down low watching something fairly boring but funny maybe. Hope this helps someone.
