Most men fight anxiety the wrong way—white-knuckling, self-medicating, avoiding it entirely. Coach Rob and Brian Sachetta decode why self-sabotage feels safer than vulnerability: the refusal to admit limitation, the avoidance of hard conversations, and the false belief that resilience means suffering alone. Explore how high-stress professionals and veterans become trapped in identity-driven anxiety cycles—and why real failure recovery starts with restructuring your core beliefs about what it means to be a man. This isn't coping. This is identity reconstruction.
