Overcoming Shame, Toxic Masculinity, And Finding Purpose | John D’Agostini

In this episode of The Life Shift Podcast, John D'Agostini shares his journey of overcoming shame, toxic masculinity, and finding purpose. He discusses his experiences coping with family addiction and abuse, societal pressure on gender roles, and struggling with isolation and sleeping in his car. He also talks about overcoming shame and toxic masculinity, seeking help, and providing safety and direction for the lost through a book and mentoring program. "I wouldn't even admit those things to myself back then. The lack of self-awareness was alarming because I had this blind spot that I know was full of a bunch of junk, and I just absolutely refused to deal with it because that's just not what men do. Or at least that's what I thought at the time.”
