In Episode 8 of The Shadowproof Podcast, host Coach Jose dives deep into how communication and boundaries shape the way we connect, protect, and reveal who we truly are. Every mask we wear — the one that says “I’m fine,” or “I don’t need help” — is held in place by unspoken words and unclear limits. This episode challenges you to face the truth behind your silence, to speak with intention, and to create boundaries that honor your peace instead of pleasing others.

Whether you’re healing, growing, leading, or simply trying to understand yourself better, this conversation will push you to drop the mask and stand in your truth — with clarity, compassion, and strength.

In this episode of the Shadowproof Podcast, we explore how the idea of “being strong at all costs” can actually hold us back. Many men, especially veterans, are taught to hide vulnerability, push through pain, and never ask for help. But real strength comes from knowing when to open up, seek support, and embrace growth.

Join me as we reframe strength—not as silent suffering, but as the courage to face our shadows, build resilience, and create lasting change.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to always be “the strong one,” this episode is for you.

n this episode of The Shadowproof Podcast, we dive deep into the question: What are you really avoiding? For many men—especially veterans—shadow work is the missing piece of healing. Trained to suppress emotions and “push through the pain,” too many carry hidden battles with anger, guilt, shame, and grief.

Coach Jose breaks down why men avoid emotions, the hidden costs of suppressing them, and how shadow work can turn avoidance into growth. You’ll learn practical steps to start facing your shadow without fear, from recognizing triggers to finding safe outlets for expression.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, disconnected, or haunted by the past, this conversation is for you. True strength isn’t found in ignoring the dark—it’s found in facing it head-on.
