What’s this one about?

Let’s be honest. Some people are just hard work.
Whether it’s family that never let up, mates who take the piss, or men who bring drama everywhere they go – other people can drag us down. And sometimes, we’re the ones doing the dragging.

This session tackles the stuff most blokes don’t say out loud. How do you handle people who constantly wind you up or cross the line? What about the people you can’t just cut off – like family or old friends? And how do you stop yourself from becoming the problem?

James will walk us through how the people around us affect our mental state – and how to take back control without kicking off or going quiet. Expect practical tips, a bit of humour, and no fluff.

Who’s it for?

Any man who’s:
– Fed up with being drained by others
– Struggling with conflict, mates, or family
– Trying to break old habits
– Or wants to be better without becoming someone else entirely

Can I just listen?

Yes. No pressure to talk.
Keep your camera off, change your Zoom name if you like, and just take it in.
