“It’s all as one” I love her passion ❤️ #selfaware #podcast #jesus Full interview out NOW!

You’re not one person. You’re a different version to everyone. To some, you’re quiet. To others, you’re too much. To some, you’re respected. To others, misunderstood. And none of them are fully you. So who are you when no one’s watching? Who are you becoming? Who do you actually want to be? And is fear getting in the way of that? Because most people don’t live as themselves… they live as the version they think is safest. #selfaware #podcast

“Toxic Masculine” we left no stone unturned! 😮‍💨 “Women need to slow down” Full inter out now! #podcast #selfaware #feminine

Every interaction is a guide—whether you like it or not. Not just mentors or people you admire. Everyone. The friend who supports you. The stranger who triggers you. The person who doubts you. Even the one who tries to pull you backwards. They’re all showing you something. Some show you what to move towards. Others show you what you still need to fix. And the hardest ones? They expose where you’re still weak, still reactive, still unsure. That’s the part most people avoid. But if you look properly, nothing is random. Every person you meet is either sharpening you or testing you. The question isn’t who they are. It’s what they’re revealing in you #selfaware #podcast

“I said, God, I’m done” 😮‍💨 This interview has it all! Out NOW! #selfaware #podcast #God

Usually I’m buzzing introducing a guest. I am excited… but this feels different. Because I know what it took for Patsy Carr to sit there and tell her story. The strength. The emotion. The honesty. And I’ve never seen support like it on this podcast. The comments, the love, the respect… it’s on another level. That many people don’t show up like that unless someone’s special. She is. This one matters. Tonight, 6pm, everywhere. If you can, watch it. You’ll feel it. #selfaware #podcast #God

“Please God” 🙏 Words like “Brave” & “Strong” are said but Patsy sharing her story is just….😮‍💨😅 ❤️ out Wed 25th 6pm #God #selfaware #podcast

Stop putting it on women to escape. Men — this is on you. If you’re controlling, shouting, manipulating, hitting… that’s not strength. It’s weakness you haven’t faced yet. It’s fear dressed up as power. And it’s easier to blame than to look in the mirror. Do the harder thing. Have some self-awareness. If you actually looked at yourself properly, you’d see it — a scared boy in a man’s body, reacting instead of leading, avoiding instead of facing. Ask yourself why you need control. Why anger is your first reaction. Why you think intimidation makes you a man. Because it doesn’t. It makes you a bully. And I hate bullies. That woman you’re looking at right now… she wasn’t always like that. She was a carefree little girl once. Laughing. Safe. Open. Trusting the world. Look at her now. Look what your behaviour has done to her confidence, her nervous system, her sense of safety. That’s not love. That’s damage. And you don’t fix that by telling her to leave. You fix it by changing yourself. No excuses. No justifying. No “that’s just how I am.” Sort it out. Because real strength is control over yourself — not someone else. #selfaware #abuse

“I was very depressed” 😥 Wait until you hear this full interview! 😮‍💨❤️ out 25th March 6pm #god #selfaware #podcast

Most people don’t live how they actually think… they live how they feel safe. That tension you feel when your life doesn’t match what you believe? That’s cognitive dissonance. You say you want freedom… but stay in what’s familiar. You say you want truth… but avoid what challenges you. You say you want more… but repeat what keeps you small. Why? Fear. Fear of being wrong. Fear of losing identity. Fear of judgement. Fear of stepping into the unknown. So instead of changing your life… you adjust your beliefs to stay comfortable. That’s how people stay stuck for years. Cognitive dissonance isn’t the problem… it’s the signal. It’s the moment your life is asking you to grow. The question is — do you listen… or do you justify staying the same? #selfaware

“I knew there was something special about Mary Magdalene” #mary #podcast #selfaware Interview out 25th March 6pm ❤️🙌

Alcohol isn’t just “letting go” — it’s chemistry first, behaviour second. When you drink, it suppresses activity in the prefrontal cortex (the part of your brain responsible for judgement, restraint, and self-awareness). At the same time, it boosts dopamine (reward/feel-good) and dampens inhibitory signals via GABA. That combination is why people become louder, more impulsive, more emotional, or more “themselves”… depending on what’s underneath. Here’s the key part most people miss: Alcohol doesn’t create a new version of you — it removes layers. If someone lacks self-awareness, alcohol exposes that: •Ego becomes louder •Insecurity becomes arrogance or aggression •Avoidance becomes escapism But if someone has done work on themselves: •There’s still a shift, but less chaos •They notice the change happening in real time •They can pull themselves back quicker •The “edge” is softer, not extreme That’s where age and awareness come in. When you’re younger (or less self-aware), alcohol drives the car. When you’re more aware, you’re still in the passenger seat… but you’re watching the driver. That’s why two people can drink the same amount and behave completely differently. Now the next day (what you’re feeling now): That rough feeling isn’t just dehydration — it’s your brain rebalancing: •Dopamine drops → low mood / flatness •Cortisol rises → anxiety / irritability •Sleep disruption → mental fog •Inflammation → that heavy, sluggish feeling It’s not just a “hangover” — it’s a temporary neurological dip. From a self-awareness angle, this is where the value is: Instead of judging the night or yourself, ask: •What came out of me that I didn’t expect? •Was that amplified… or revealed? •Did I stay in control, or hand it over? Because alcohol doesn’t lie — it magnifies what’s already there. That’s the real relationship between alcohol and ego: It either inflates it… or exposes it.

Using her trauma & pain to help others ❤️ Full powerful interview drops Wed 25th March 6pm #god #selfaware #podcast

Is this me slipping back… or just living a little? Few drinks today. Nothing crazy. But it got me thinking… When does “enjoying yourself” become revisiting an old version of you? Is a blowout a reset… or a step backwards? Or are we overthinking it, and sometimes it’s just about being present and having a laugh? Where do you draw the line? We’ll soon find out. #selfaware #podcast #awayday

Thank you to Algie Williams. Open, honest, and unapologetically real. A man who’s lived it—prison, pain, and pressure—and turned it into purpose. Entrepreneur, podcast host, and building something bigger with real intent. I even caught myself assuming he didn’t go to school. I was wrong. Academically sharp. That’s the point—he challenges perception. The way he looks, speaks, carries himself—it makes you think one thing… then flips it completely. As you watch, your view changes. Respect for the honesty. Respect for the journey. Big things coming. #selfaware #podcast #prison

Every guest so far has brought something real. 💪🔥 And what’s coming next raises the level again. As this builds, people will go back and see the value that was there from the start. This is about creating self-awareness through people, stories, and honest conversations. So don’t just watch—engage. Share your perspective when questions are asked. And if you believe in it, a YouTube subscribe goes a long way.#selfaware #podcast

“I can’t picture my mum’s face properly” 😮‍💨 This interview isn’t what you think it is! 💪❤️ #selfaware #podcast #prison

Two men in Rome… “One day this will all fall.” “Don’t be stupid… we’re Rome.” It did. A bloke said to me—that’s where the UK feels like now. So the real question is… Is it systems that collapse, or people? And if more people became self-aware… would anything actually change? Or are we too comfortable to question it? #selfaware #britain #rome

“Can be scary when you talk to him” A nod to Liam Rodgers, Author From Algie! Everyone’s self awareness journey is different and Algie’s story is incredible! 🔥🙌 #selfaware #prison #podcast

There is a gap in the conversation around men. It does not have to be one extreme or the other. It does not have to be hard, cold, aggressive, emotionally shut down, dominant at all costs, disrespect women, never cry, never talk, never soften. And it does not have to be the other extreme either, where a man lives in constant emotion, constant talking, constant over-explaining, no backbone, no action, no standards, no strength. There is an in-between. A healthy man can feel deeply and still be strong. A healthy man can cry and still lead. A healthy man can talk and still take action. A healthy man can be kind without being weak. A healthy man can be dangerous if necessary, but peaceful by choice. A healthy man does not bully, does not dominate for ego, does not control, does not perform masculinity like it is some costume. A lot of young men are being fed extremes. One side tells them to suppress everything human in them. The other side can almost encourage them to sit in their pain forever and build an identity around being wounded. Neither is the answer. Yes, men should talk. Yes, men should open up. Yes, men should be honest when something is hurting them. But after that, there has to be movement. There has to be responsibility. There has to be action. You do not stay there forever repeating the same pain with no shift, no growth, no discipline and no ownership. Feel it. Speak it. Then do something with it. That is the part that matters. For me, being a man is not about acting like you do not care. It is not about treating women badly. It is not about trying to “win” every relationship. It is not about becoming some angry, bitter, hyper-defensive version of masculinity because the world confused you. And it is not about becoming passive either. It is about self-respect. It is about emotional control. It is about truth. It is about being able to protect. It is about not bullying anyone. It is about having enough awareness to know when your ego is running the show. It is about being able to defend yourself if life ever calls for it, but never looking for violence because weak men usually do that to feel big. Every man should know the basics of how to handle himself. Not to intimidate people. Not to start fights. But because competence creates calm. Strength with control is very different from aggression with insecurity. And another thing men need to hear: Your partner is not your mum. You should not be asking permission like a little boy to go out for a drink or see your mates if you are not taking the piss, not disappearing every weekend, not being reckless, not neglecting your home, and it is just a one-off. That is not leadership. That is not partnership. That is dependence dressed up as being “good”. A healthy relationship sounds more like this: “Have we got anything on Saturday?” “No.” “Sound, I’m going out.” That is not disrespect. That is being an adult. Real masculinity is not control. Real masculinity is not emotional constipation. Real masculinity is not asking for approval to breathe. And it is not endlessly talking about your feelings while your life stays exactly the same. It is balance. Speak, but do not wallow. Feel, but do not fold. Be strong, but do not bully. Be capable, but do not dominate. Love your woman, but do not become childlike with her. Stand up for yourself, but do not disrespect others. Know how to fight if needed, but build a life where you rarely need to. That middle ground is where solid men are built. Not in the extremes. In the balance. #louistheroux #manosphere #SelfAwareness
