When partner betrayal hits, it doesn’t just break your heart, it crushes your ego. This episode explores how infidelity shatters a man’s self-image, confidence, and sense of identity. Adam challenges outdated beliefs around strength, masculinity, and asking for help, and shows you how ego defenses like numbing, overcompensating, or trying to "win your partner back" can keep you stuck. Learn how to work with, not against your ego and begin rebuilding a healthy sense of masculine self-worth rooted in truth, vulnerability, and self-respect.

You’re not broken. You’re in survival mode. And it’s time to start healing from the inside out.
