In Part 2 of the Best of ManTalks episode, we explore the hidden costs of people-pleasing, the impact of childhood conditioning, mother enmeshment, and why so many men struggle to set boundaries, handle rejection, and stand up for themselves. We also break down how to overcome shame, reclaim your independence, and build real confidence by embracing discomfort instead of avoiding it.
