Selfhoot is not just about selling products; it's about sparking essential conversations around mental wellness and normalizing the importance of mental health for men.

Aaron Hokanson is the founder of Selfhoot [https://www.selfhoot.com/], a brand committed to spreading positivity, self-love, and mental health awareness.

    The brand's mission extends beyond selling products; it's about creating wearable affirmations to help people feel seen, validated, and not alone. Aaron's favorite message, "It's okay to not be okay," speaks to the importance of acknowledging one's emotional state without shame.
 3. Future Vision for Selfhoot:
    Aaron envisions significant growth for Selfhoot in 2025, hoping to normalize conversations around mental health and build a community that supports emotional well-being. He emphasizes that improving one's mental health is a constant journey, not a destination.

The Power of Positive Affirmations: Changing Lives with SelfHoot Founder

The holiday season is right around the corner, and with it often comes a whirlwind of activity, expectations, and sometimes, a fair bit of stress. But worry not – we're here to help you navigate this festive period with ease and purpose. In our latest episode of The Integrated Man Project, host Travis shares 3 invaluable tips that every dad (and parent) can benefit from.

Here’s a quick rundown of what we covered:

1. Be Present, Not Perfect

The holidays are about connection, not perfection. Whether it's playing a game with your kids, sharing a laugh, or enjoying a family meal together, being present makes all the difference. Your family will remember these moments of joy and togetherness far more than they'll remember the perfect gift or a perfectly set table.

2. Stay Regulated

We know the holiday season can bring about a range of emotions and stressors. Whether it's work-related stress, family pressures, or societal expectations, the key is to remain grounded. Simple daily practices like breathwork, meditation, or a morning routine can help. When you're regulated, you set a calm and composed example for your kids and create a more harmonious environment at home.

3. Set the Tone

You have the power to set the tone for your family's holiday experience. Approach this season with a spirit of joy, gratitude, and lightheartedness. Remember, your energy and mood can influence everyone around you, particularly your children. Ask yourself daily: What tone am I setting today?

For more in-depth insights and advice, make sure to listen to the full episode. It’s packed with practical tips that you can start implementing right away.

📅 Don't Forget! We're also gearing up for our next 8-week Men's Peak Performance Cohort starting the week of January 13th. If you're interested in joining or know someone who might benefit, check out the details here. It's a fantastic opportunity to kick off the new year with purpose, meaning, and direction.

Wishing you and your family a joyful and stress-free holiday season!

Stay Integrated, Travis Goodman Host, The Integrated Man Project

What's the Best Way to REGULATE Your Energy This Holiday Season?

Welcome to this episode of The Integrated Man Project, where we delve into a cornerstone of living a purposeful life: identifying and aligning with your core values. Today, we're exploring the bedrock that shapes your decisions, actions, and your legacy as a man.

In this week's episode, I'll be helping you examine your core values and priorities. These are not just ideals but your inner compass guiding you through life’s trials and triumphs. We’ll explore why defining these values is critical, how to identify them, and the tangible benefits of living in alignment with them.

Show Key Points and Highlights:

 1. Understanding Misalignment:
    I discuss how living out of sync with your values can lead to feelings of directionlessness, hopelessness, and burnout. Recognizing these emotional cues is the first step towards realignment.
 2. Identifying Core Values:
    We walk through an exercise of whittling down a broad list of values to your top ten, then further narrowing them down to your core five. Questions like "What am I willing to sacrifice comfort for?" help refine these choices.
 3. Actionable Steps:
    Once your core values are identified, it's crucial to integrate them into daily life. This involves setting clear, manageable action steps for each value, ensuring practical and continuous application.

Where are you currently out of sync with your values, and what’s causing the disconnect? This week, I challenge you to identify one core value you want to realign with—and create three actionable steps you can take to honor that value in your daily life. 

Share your journey and insights by emailing me at integratedmanproject@gmail.com or on our social media channels.

Start your journey today. Reclaim your purpose. Reignite your life.

Until next week, stay integrated.

So This Is 40: Reflecting on Growth, Therapy, and Life Changes

Welcome to another insightful episode of The Integrated Man Project with your host, Travis Goodman. Today, we delve deep into the world of mental health with our special guest, Greg VanDyne, a former Green Beret medic turned mental health advocate and med-tech professional. Greg shares his profound journey of transitioning out of the military, facing the stigma around mental health, and the challenging but transformative path of seeking therapy.

In this episode, Travis and Greg discuss the fear of rejection, the importance of a supportive environment, and the emotional burdens men often carry in silence. They explore the idea of normalizing conversations about mental health from a young age, the impact of social media, and the benefits of teaching emotional intelligence. Greg also shares his experiences with different therapy modalities like EMDR and his pursuit of TMS treatment.

HIGHLIGHTS:

 1. The Struggle of Opening Up: Greg shares his personal journey from recognizing the need for help to overcoming the fear of rejection and worthlessness that initially prevented him from seeking therapy. He discusses the impact of societal pressure on men to suppress vulnerable emotions and how it affects mental health.
 2. Significance of a Supportive Environment: Both Greg and I delve into the importance of having a supportive environment, whether in therapy or personal life, and how it significantly impacts mental health and the healing process. We draw parallels between the supportive nature of a military team and the need for such support when tackling personal struggles.
 3. Finding the Right Therapist: We entertain the idea of a "speed dating app for therapists" to make it easier for individuals to find the right fit for their therapeutic needs. Greg's candid recounting of his initial disappointments and eventual success in finding a therapist who could understand and help him highlights the importance of persistence in the therapeutic journey.

Challenge Question:
How can we as a society break down the stigma surrounding men seeking help for their mental health, and what steps can we take to normalize these conversations from a young age?

The 7 Primal Questions: A Journey into Personal Growth (feat. Sam Powers)

Welcome back to The Integrated Man Project! I'm your host, Travis Goodman, and today we have a truly transformative episode lined up for you. We're diving deep into personal growth, healing, and the journey to reconnect with our true selves. Joining us is the incredible Sam Powers—a personal development coach, custom home builder, and dedicated father of three.

In this heartfelt conversation, Sam opens up about his struggles with shame, feelings of inadequacy, and how these led to alcohol abuse and an emotional breakdown in 2020. We'll hear about the life-changing impact of his six-day intensive therapy workshop at On Site [https://experienceonsite.com/] and his journey of rebuilding both his home and his emotional life.

Together, we'll explore the pressures of evangelical and purity culture, the challenges of codependency, and the importance of empathy, vulnerability, and intentionality in the process of healing. Sam shares profound insights from his work on "primal questions" and offers practical advice on how men can embrace their emotional healing.

HIGHLIGHTS:

 1. The Breaking Point and Redemption: Sam opens up about his emotional breakdown in June 2020, driven by shame and feelings of inadequacy, leading him to alcohol abuse. His turning point came through his wife's encouragement and attending a six-day intensive therapy workshop called On-Site. 
 2. Codependency Unraveled: Reflecting on his past, Sam discusses how he discovered his codependent tendencies and worked diligently to address them. He credits Melody Beattie's book, "Codependent No More," as a critical resource during his recovery, allowing him to break free from unhealthy patterns and find authentic ways to cope.
 3. Primal Questions and Personal Growth: Sam introduces the concept of "primal questions" – core emotional needs stemming from childhood – and how asking these questions has transformed his approach to coaching and personal development. 

What's one question you need to answer about yourself to start your journey toward emotional healing and personal growth? Reflect on this and consider what steps you can take to seek the answers you need.

So, sit back, relax, and get ready for a powerful and enlightening conversation that promises to inspire and empower you on your own journey to integration.

Cory and I delve into the benefits of breath work in controlling emotions and the critical need to be aware of one's nervous system state. Cory shares his personal experiences of realizing the need to pause when he becomes snappy and impatient, often during stressful periods like bedtime routines or meeting deadlines.

2. **Radical Acceptance and Managing Expectations:**

We discuss the concept of radical acceptance—embracing reality without resistance. Cory provides compelling examples, such as handling the frustration of his kids getting sick and disrupting plans, and how he's learned to find joy in unexpected moments.
