John's books include; I Used to Be a Miserable F*ck, Single on Purpose, and It's Not Me It's You! Follow him on Instagram at @theangrytherapist. Meet him here and everything he does: linktr.ee/theangrytherapist. John Kim is the author of best-sellers I Used To Be A Miserable F*ck and Single. On Purpose. As he was going through an expired relationship, John created a blog on Tumblr and titled his first post “My Fucking Feelings.” He named his blog "The Angry Therapist" and started documenting his journey post-divorce. Even though he was a licensed therapist, John chose not to present himself that way. He preferred the language of “me too” as opposed to “you should.” He blogged about his shortcomings, revelations, and views on relationships, the self-help business, and the world. He found CrossFit, bought a motorcycle, and started coaching people in unconventional ways. Through this process, he came up with his own concepts. But most importantly, he took a very different approach, once frowned upon by the rigid and antiquated therapy world. He practiced transparency. People keep asking him why he calls himself "The Angry Therapist." His reply: It’s my way of saying I’m human. John’s path has led him to become a pioneer in the self-help field, rebranding from stigmatized to sexy. He is an entrepreneur, published author, public speaker, teacher, and a raw, unique voice that resonates in deep places with all whose paths he crosses. The Angry Therapist has become greater than just John Kim. Today, it is a place to find support no matter where you are or what you’re going through. It’s a place where definitions of our common human struggles are based largely on experiencing life and allowing it to break and heal us. This is very different from labels applied by learning about suffering in textbooks. It is a growing team of therapists and life coaches all over the world- practicing transparency, living as the truest versions of themselves, continually growing, and, in this process, becoming Catalysts. It is also a school teaching this new way of helping others and supporting them in that journey. It is a thriving community unlike any other. The Angry Therapist is a lifestyle.

https://stan.store/Jbirdfit Welcome to the blueprint podcast where we throw old the old blueprint so you can become who you were always meant to be. I’m your host, Jason Smith, and if you haven’t already make sure you click the subscribe button and share this episode with your friends on social media and tag me in it @jbirdfit. In this week's episode we are going to answer a really common question the anxious attacher often asks, Does the avoidant ever recognize they were half of the problem? My quick answer is, why does it matter to you? Unless you are still with this person there is nothing more for you to try to understand about this relationship. You’ve already exhausted everything there is to talk about through text message arguments and elevated emotions. This person gave you no additional information because they are currently working from their subconscious and don’t have the emotional capacity in this moment to see what you see or to see things from your perspective. You want a reason why, you want closure, you want clarity, but what you really want to know is what you did wrong to cause this because it must be your fault, everything is your fault, but what if I told you, you didn’t do anything wrong, you weren’t bad, you’re not being punished, there nothing to fight for, and nothing is being taken away from you. Although it may feel exactly like that. What if, it’s something that’s going on inside of the other person and the way you present yourself and relate to them in relationships triggers their attachment system. When that happens their emotional capacity is greatly diminished, and they default to old patterns and coping mechanisms which is to pull away to be and feel safe? What if this wasn’t about you? Can you accept that? Can you make peace with that? What is it about this relationship that makes you desire to stay in it when your needs aren’t being met and you feel crazy trying to understand what’s happening, what you did wrong, and how can you fix it?   I commend you for being able to recognize that something isn’t going well in the relationship and that you have a desire to work to solve whatever the problem is. That’s very healthy and shows you already have honed some skills that are necessary to create interdependence within a relationship. So, celebrate that win! Recognizing one's role in relationship issues can be challenging for anyone, including avoidant individuals. However, it is possible for avoidant individuals to become more aware of their contribution to relationship difficulties with time, self-reflection, and personal growth. Did you catch that? It means they have to be willing to do the work. It takes two in a relationship to bring resolution to issues, problems, and conflicts but they have to be a willing participant and you both have to be willing to take ownership and create neutrality around a subject to bring resolution and no the relationship isn’t over just because you had a disagreement. The Avoidant attachment style is characterized by a tendency to distance oneself emotionally from others to avoid intimacy and vulnerability. Intimacy is one of the avoidants greatest fears that often stems from someone close to them (caregiver) breaking trust with the avoidant thus solidifying at a young age that the avoidant can and has to take care of themselves because no one else is going to do it. Care was inconsistent or non-existent. This distancing behavior can lead to difficulties in forming close and secure connections with partners. In some cases, avoidant individuals may struggle to acknowledge their role in relationship problems because they tend to prioritize self-reliance and independence because again, trust was broken. This is often a subconscious reaction, and they often can’t articulate what they are experiencing other than, overwhelm caused by another person. Step away from the person, overwhelm goes away, when overwhelm goes away they will reach back out again. However, as people gain self-awareness through introspection or through the help of therapy or counseling, they can become more attuned to their attachment style and its impact on their relationships. With increased understanding, avoidant individuals may start to recognize how their emotional distancing and fear of intimacy affect their partners and the overall dynamics of the relationship. This is key for all of us who have an insecure attachment style. There is some inner work to do that it starts with the awareness of you, the individual, not the awareness of the other person so you blame them, tell them they need therapy, text them relationships memes all day, and give them books to read because they are broken and deficient. You might mean well, but the message and overarching theme you’re telling them is, you’re not good enough, you’re not good enough for me, and I’m disgusted and repulsed by you and your behavior. Again, for many this is subconscious and not intentional, but it may feel th

Make sure you sign up for the 21 Day Self-Love Challenge 5 Part Introductory Series in my Stan store linked below!  https://stan.store/Jbirdfit In this week's episode we are going to discuss how to break free from the anxious and avoidant trap and find people who are more emotionally available. Question: Since I came across your videos, I often find myself thinking about how to break free from the anxious cycle that plagues my relationships. I make an effort to be clear about my expectations and communicate them openly with my partner, but despite these efforts, things often don't work out due to differing expectations. If this pattern persists, I wonder how I can overcome it and find people to date who are not avoidant. So let’s talk about how to break free from the anxious cycle in relationships and find people who are emotionally available. I’m going to get this out of the way, and I feel like it goes without saying. Seek Professional Help Consider seeking therapy or counseling to work through your attachment issues with the guidance of a trained professional. Therapy can provide valuable insights and tools to help you navigate relationships more effectively. Now that everyone feels better because I said that understand that when you are in the comment section telling people you don’t know to go to therapy it’s a bad look for you. Take the time to consider that not everyone has access to therapy, can afford therapy, or resonates with therapy. So for everyone else, there is self-education and personal development which is also very valid and ultimately very empowering. You can also get a jump start on cultivating self-love by signing up for my 21 Day Self-Love Challenge Introductory Short Course in my Stan store. It’s 5 short videos on the pillars of self-love and a great way to get introduced to some ideas and concepts that you may not have considered yet. At the end of that is a special offer. What are the steps in finding a more emotionally available partner? A big first step is cultivating self-awareness and taking time to reflect on your attachment style and past relationship patterns. What did your past relationships not only look like in terms of patterning but what did they feel like to you? Were you under high stress and anxiety that made you feel like you had lost yourself within the confines of this relationship? Understanding the origins of your anxious attachment and recognizing how it affects your interactions and how you relate with others is a massive step in your journey. Develop Self-Confidence Build your esteem by learning to make yourself a priority again or for the first time. You may have spent your entire life trying to do things for others as a means of being liked by them. All the while never asking yourself if you even liked them, they way they treat you, or the way they talk to you. So ask yourself, do I even really like this person and why? What do you admire about them? How does your body feel around them? How do you feel when you’re apart? Engage in activities that make you feel good about yourself and challenge self-doubt. Get outside and move your body and remember that you can always take a walk with me! Life weights, do some yoga, chi gong, pilates, or whatever resonates with you but get moving! A simple 20 minute walk with focuses breathing has the power to change your entire day and you can compound that over time. Lean into your hobbies and interests. Those things that you were once able to get lost in for hours that were abandoned for others. Understand it’s not only ok but necessary to learn to ask for what you want. So, Set Clear Expectations and Identify your needs in a relationship. Communicate them openly and honestly with potential partners to ensure alignment and avoid misunderstandings. It’s also important to mention here to not date someone’s future potential but see them for who they are in this moment. They may never become the person you are picturing in your head of who they will be to you in the future so ask yourself. If they never change, can I love this person as they are today 50 years from now? A common question that get’s asked….Can you Recognize Avoidant Behavior?  My answer, kinda. You can Educate yourself on avoidant attachment traits and behaviors but here is the caveat to that. Who are you being right now? Are you the most secure version of yourself you’ve ever been or do you already feel butterflies, excitement, and find yourself over thinking everything they say or do while planning for future events and ignoring poor behavior in the present moment that makes you even more anxious and waiting for your phone to light up or ding with the next text message so you can feel seen, heard, loved, and understood but then needing more text messages and attention because you constantly worry if they are going to reject or abandon you not realizing this is the behavior that can lead even secure people to become slightly avoidant and is the sel

I was physically and mentally going through a difficult time with two injuries that resulted in shoulder surgery and on-going neck pain that I’m still dealing with today.   This isn’t a a poor me story, if you’ve seen my home gym then you know I’m in it every day and will keep working to regain mobility in my neck, but this is a part of my story of resilience. The daily stoic journal helped guide from a place of why this is happening to me to everything is happening for me. You see, without that injury, I never would have created a platform on social media where I help others build a better relationship with themselves so they can have the types of relationships with others that they desire. Here’s the funny part, I had no idea how to journal. It’s true, you hear me talk about how wonderful it is but like you I procrastinated using this tool because I didn’t understand it’s value or how to use it effectively. So I looked online and searched for videos on how to journal, benefits of journaling, best ways to journal, and the answer was always the same in the few videos I found. There is no right way, you just start. The year prior I had a gratitude journal that I struggled with because I was unable to tap into any other parts of me, so it quickly became, I have gratitude for my dog Chloe, my house, my home gym, the opportunities I’ve been given, air. The daily stoic offered something different. It tapped into my thoughts, feelings, and emotions. The first journal prompt was on September 29th and it goes like this “Where are my eyes bigger than my stomach?” I didn’t know what to write so I put that I had physical therapy and went to Panera for coffee and a bagel but that quickly shifted into my role as a police officer was fun and fed a part of my chaotic soul until I began unlearning decades of negative emotional programming. A shift happened in my writing, and I tuned into or attuned to my inner being, that inner knowing, that piece of me that was dormant for so long that I felt emotionally closed off to the world around me. What came out on the page was it’s time to start growing again, to stop living small, and what I was doing for a career isn’t small, but I had an inner knowing that I could and should be doing more to help others. Inside the daily stoic underneath the daily prompt, you have space for a morning and evening reflection. My evening reflection that night was an experience I had earlier in the day where group think was of guilt, fear, shame, rumor and gossip. I easily could have been pulled into it but I stepped back and reminded myself that is outside of me, (None of my business) I cannot control how others react, but I can control how I respond and what emotions I absorb from others. The mantra for that evening I created for myself was Breathe, Be Free, and Let Go! If you got value from this episode, make sure you share the show on Instagram and tag me in it @jbirdfit.

Welcome to today's episode of the Blueprint podcast I'm your host, Jason Smith, if you haven't already make sure you click the subscribe button and share the podcast with your friends on social media and tag me in it @jbirdfit. Today we're going to delve into an important topic: Redefining Masculinity but we are going to talk about it minus all the additional labels like toxic or positive.  I think that we have overcomplicated the topic of masculinity and that we already inherently know most of the answers that social media is asking but we are afraid to say it out loud for fear of being judged, rejected, or ostracized on social media.    There is a “victim mentality” culture out there that is growing on social media BUT it’s only on social media. When you go out into the real world these same discussions aren’t happening. The past several times I’ve gone out to dinner I’m seeing more and more men in community and supporting one other. On my dating content you all keep asking, where have all the good men gone. Welp, they are apparently having dinner with each other, building, growing, expanding and learning from each other. When I go to jujitsu, we are focused on connecting the dots, completing reps, cultivating friendship through sportsmanship, and doing something difficult, something that many of us have never done before. You have people from all different backgrounds, skills, and abilities who are there to complete a mission. We have an hour together where we work, we sweat, we challenge ourselves and each other, and we learn. No one puts anyone else down because at some point, we all started out as white belts and I’m one of them. So, do we need to redefine masculinity so everyone feels included or do we need to display what masculinity looks like in the real world so others can be inspired by the work it takes to have self-mastery.  After watching a YouTube short from @vice on YouTube They had a group of men discussing some key points about the “masculinity crisis” and what that actually means to them. Fully believing that masculinity has to be redefined and that none of them really had any idea or direction how to do so.  Side note: If you aren’t reading books on personal development, psychology, finances, and spirituality. You will find yourself in the same spot as these guys. You give yourself the things that you know that you lack. This is self-mastery. No one can do that for you nor will they. One man stated we are just our here trying to be whoever we are. And there it is. You don't know who YOU are!  This group of men brought up the concept or experience of generational trauma (the be a man / big boys don't cry) and this trauma is being exposed and healed which is a key element to healing the greater collective and is work that we should all be exploring on different levels, and I say different levels because we are all going through and experiencing things differently but in real time with our own levels of awareness and understanding. When you understand that, you can begin to step back and realize that what someone else is experiencing doesn't have to be a fundamental threat to you or an attack on your world view but that's a conversation for another time because it's deeply nuanced.  Another man stated that we don't know how to define where we are supposed to be. This comes from parents being taken out of the homes, constantly working to provide and consume, but not able to meet the emotional needs and support that each child requires. I know, in good faith, all the parents are out there doing the best they can, but we often compensate with material things when in reality your child needs a deeper connection with you. Not as a friend, but as a parent who has their back and is prepared to guide and mentor them towards emotional regulation, co-regulation, and cultivating trusted connections by sharing your base knowledge with them. How to navigate the difficult terrain that is modern society. How to think and make sense of the world and their environment. Not just give them an ipad or a gaming console to occupy their time because you, yourself, feel overwhelmed.  Understand, you can only impart knowledge that you have learned, gained by doing, and practiced in real time consistently.  Does masculinity need to be redefined?  Here are 9 ways you can display masculine traits using a multifaceted approach. There is no one magic pill answer that applies to everyone but here is the basics.   Dr. Jordan Peterson Quote: “A Harmless man isn’t a good man. A good man is a dangerous man who has everything under voluntary control.” What we really have is an epidemic of men who never learned how to manage or regulate their emotions, how to build healthy relationships with their partners because of what was modeled to them as children, understanding attachment styles as a means of cultivating better relationships, and respecting yourself enough to

The concept of the Law of Attraction, as presented in the movie "The Secret" and the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, suggests that our thoughts and intentions can influence the experiences and outcomes in our lives. It's the idea that we are like a magnet and attract into our lives what we are currently being. It's the way we think, act, and feel or our emotional setpoint. It the difference of seeing things as happening to you (Victim mindset) or happening for you (Take the lesson.) It's the words that we use with ourselves daily and how we tell the story of our lives to ourselves and to others. Although this idea may be seen as unconventional, it can still have a positive impact on one's mental and emotional well-being. Just like a magnet, our thoughts, actions, and emotions can attract or repel certain experiences. When we have positive thoughts and good intentions, we are more open to receiving what the world has to offer. This can lead to a happier, lighter vibration and a greater chance of attracting the things we want in life. However, many of us tend to focus on what we don't want, leading to negative emotions such as doubt, worry, and anxiety. To overcome this hurdle, it's important to focus on the lessons of past experiences and to ask yourself "Why not me?" instead of dwelling on negative outcomes. Keep in mind that the Law of Attraction is not a linear path and there will be ups and downs. It doesn't make you immune to negative experiences but by doing the work you certainly become more resilient. By responding positively to difficult situations and asking how you can do better next time, you can open yourself up to new opportunities and better outcomes. Remember that the universe may have something even better in store for you, even if it's not exactly what you had planned. Allow yourself to be focused more on the moment than a particular outcome that you desire. If you focus too much on the outcome and it doesn't work out the way you wanted it, you may miss the gift that particular moment gave you.
