The Brickbat Retort

Are you stuck in a tug-of-war between two versions of yourself? In this episode, Tracy explores the inner conflict between your "Dr. Jekyll" self—the love-driven, positive you—and your "Mr. Hyde" self—the fear-driven, avoidant you. These two sides shape how you approach relationships, responsibilities, and emotional growth, often without you even realizing it.

🎙️ What you'll learn in this episode:
* How fear and love drive your relationship patterns.
* Why closure doesn’t always heal old wounds.
* The limitations of positivity without emotional clarity.
* Actionable steps to nurture your love-driven self and set healthy boundaries.

"You have the fear-based, negative you and the love-based, positive you—and most of us with attachment issues are stuck on autopilot, living through the fear-driven side." ~ Tracy Crossley

Motherhood & Confidence: Stefanie’s Perspective | The BrokeMan’s Podcast

If you constantly feel anxious at work, overloaded with tasks, or stuck in a cycle of people-pleasing—this video is for you. Many Nice Guys struggle with setting boundaries, both in the workplace and with family. The result? They get walked all over, burned out, and feel like they’re never good enough.

In this episode, we break down:
✔️ The real reason your boss keeps piling work on you (and why you can’t say no)
✔️ Why people-pleasing makes you less respected, not more
✔️ How manipulative or critical parents keep you stuck in self-doubt
✔️ Practical strategies to set boundaries and regain control of your life

The hard truth? If you don’t change your approach, people will keep taking advantage of you—because they can. But once you start prioritizing yourself, everything shifts. You’ll gain respect, reduce stress, and finally start living life on your own terms.

[#259] Why Your Boss and Family Don’t Respect You (And How to Fix It)

You keep ignoring your gut to please everyone else. Reacting to what others want instead of tuning into what YOU need. Sound familiar? When was the last time you actually checked in with yourself before jumping through hoops to meet someone else's expectations?
We're taught to react to others, to do "the right thing" according to everyone but ourselves. Your worth becomes tied to how well you anticipate and please the people around you. Meanwhile, your true feelings get buried deeper with each fake smile, each time you say "yes" when you mean "no."

In this episode, Tracy explores:
* Why we abandon our feelings to meet others' expectations
* How "doing the right thing" disconnects you from yourself
* The myth of mind-reading in relationships
* Three ways you dismiss your feelings daily
* Recognizing when you're reacting vs. honoring yourself

"As long as you don't give a f*** about your feelings, nobody else will. You teach people how to treat you." ~  Tracy Crossley

In this final chapter of our second sister series, my sisters Kate, Teresa, and I reflect on the slow, complicated shift—the one that happened in our mother’s final years, and the one we had to make in ourselves to survive and heal.

We talk about what it was like to be adults with a mother still deep in the storm of untreated mental illness and addiction, and how we eventually found our way to firmer ground. We explore the boundaries we had to set, the pain of waiting for change, and the quiet hope that crept in when she finally began to seek help. She didn’t become someone new—but she did begin to come home to herself.

This episode is about recognizing the moments when something begins to shift—internally and externally. It’s about separating a person from their illness. About forgiving without an apology. And about choosing to heal, even when the past still echoes.

If you’ve ever loved someone who struggled, or if you’ve felt stuck in a story that wasn’t changing, this conversation is for you.

You Get What You Get

Welcome to the brokeMans Podcast where the journey is real and spoken about. Where community shares that journey to show everyone they are not alone in this life. Penny for your thoughts lets talk about it.

Hi, I’m Jenn, and I’m passionate about transforming the conversation around mental health through creativity, connection, and advocacy. Nearly 50 years of life have taught me that we all carry shadows—stories that shape who we are and how we show up in the world. My story began with the challenges of growing up with a parent battling undiagnosed mental illness, an experience that deeply influenced my resilience, empathy, and innovative spirit.

Are you a Nice Guy or people pleaser looking to build masculine confidence, healthier romantic relationships, and live with integrity? The Brojo podcast, brought to you by Dan Munro (Nice Guy Coach since 2013) will show you how to be more assertive, confident, charismatic and honest without harming others. We cover how to save your marriage, improve your attraction and dating options, and build integrity through living by your core values.

A lot of us live in our head, disconnected from our feelings and intuition. This podcast touches on releasing insecure attachment, accepting your authentic self and getting “unstuck” by connecting to how you FEEL instead of how you THINK. I’ve been there, and discuss sensitive subjects using my own experiences with a lot of laughs and even more empathy… because we’re all flawed humans.
