Man Within Podcast

In the final installment of the five-part Christmas Clean series, we anchor all the practical strategies discussed previously by focusing on the spiritual meaning of Christmas. Christmas, as a Christian holiday, is meant to be about Christ, but this meaning often gets lost in the busyness, consumerism, and chaos of the season. The host ties together all the parts of the series—holiday triggers, routines, the power of service (It's Not About You), and combating the BLT (Boredom, Loneliness, Tiredness)—by emphasizing that connecting with Jesus is the anchor that makes all other recovery efforts effective.   Know more about Sathiya's work: Join Deep Clean Inner Circle - The Brotherhood You Neeed (+ get coached by Sathiya) For Less Than $2/day Submit Your Questions (Anonymously) To Be Answered On The Podcast Get A Free Copy of The Last Relapse, Your Blueprint For Recovery Watch Sathiya on Youtube For More Content Like This   Chapters: (00:01) Why Christmas Is the Most Triggering Time of the Year (01:20) The “Holiday Debt” Analogy & Why Most Guys Relapse in December (02:24) Step 1: Identify Your Holiday Triggers (03:45) Common Holiday Triggers Explained (04:48) Why Christmas Triggers Repeat Every Year (06:20) Creating Your Personal Trigger Plan (07:25) Real Example: How One Client Prevented a Thanksgiving Relapse (08:20) Setting Boundaries on Sleep, Food, Alcohol, and Social Behavior (09:18) Closing Advice: Don’t “Wing It” This Christmas

In the second part of the Christmas Clean series, we dive into how to successfully navigate the Christmas season and catapult yourself into the New Year as a free man. The Christmas season, while the most wonderful time of the year, can also be the most "triggering". This episode focuses on routines, rhythms, and rituals. We discuss how the breaking of daily/weekly routines during the holidays, while offering a nice break from the nine-to-five grind, also presents dangers that can lead to temptation and set you back.   Know more about Sathiya's work: Join Deep Clean Inner Circle - The Brotherhood You Neeed (+ get coached by Sathiya) For Less Than $2/day Submit Your Questions (Anonymously) To Be Answered On The Podcast Get A Free Copy of The Last Relapse, Your Blueprint For Recovery Watch Sathiya on Youtube For More Content Like This Chapters:  (00:00) Introduction: Christmas—The most wonderful, yet most triggering, time of the year.
