Is Holding On Holding You Back? | The Mens Collective | Ep. 055

Is Holding On Holding You Back?Most men don’t stay stuck because they lack effort.They stay stuck because they refuse to let go.Most men think growth comes from doing more.More effort. More discipline. More hours. More conversations. More pressure.But what if the real reason your marriage feels flat, your parenting feels chaotic, your business feels heavy, or your health keeps slipping…isn’t because you’re not doing enough?What if it’s because you’re holding onto the wrong things?In this episode of The Men’s Collective Podcast, Wayno and the Average Joes have a raw, confronting conversation about the cost of holding on.We unpack why adding more rarely fixes the problem, and why real progress often starts with subtraction.We dive into:Why more communication won’t save a marriage if resentment stays unspokenHow distraction and avoidance quietly kill intimacy and connectionThe parenting habits that feel loving but actually weaken leadershipWhy busyness in business is often a mask for avoiding the work that mattersHow health collapses through habits men keep justifying as harmlessThis is not a motivational episode, it’s a mirror.If you feel busy but stuck.If something in your life feels off and you can’t quite name it.This conversation will hit close to home.Because growth doesn’t usually ask for more effort,it asks for the courage to remove what no longer belongs.Listen in if you’re ready to stop adding and start leading your life properly.Watch and Listen🎧 Spotify:[https://open.spotify.com/show/25atM2T...]🍎 Apple Podcasts:[https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast...]📺 YouTube:[ / @averagejoesmenscollective ]---Join the Movement👉 [https://averagejoes.net.au](https://averagejoes.net.au)Explore merch, local meetups, and exclusive content designed to help men rise, grow, and lead with purpose.---Follow Us📲 Instagram:[ / averagejoesmenscollective ]📘 Facebook:[ / averagejoesmenscollective ]---⚠️ Please Note:The views expressed in this episode are those of the hosts and guests, not any organisation.
