5 WAYS WE CAN BREAK THE CYCLE
.and ⚒️PUT IN THE WORK⚒️:

Most of us get stuck because we don’t slow down long enough to learn!

The same arguments. The same habits. The same freaking patterns! Am I right??

♾️Same loop, different day♾️

Real, sustainable growth is earned through our awareness, honesty, and action---our WORK.

1) NOTICE THE PATTERN
➖We can’t fix what we don’t see
⚒️Best Practice: At the end of each day, ask: “What showed up again today that I’ve seen before?”

2) OWN OUR PART
âž–Blame keeps us stuck, ownership moves us forward
⚒️Best Practice: Write down one situation and circle ONLY what we controlled

3) NAME THE LESSON
âž–Every mistake carries instruction
⚒️Best Practice: Turn the mistake into one clear sentence: “Next time, I will ______”

4) CHANGE ONE BEHAVIOR
âž–Insight without action changes nothing
⚒️Best Practice: Pick ONE small shift (not ten) and practice it immediately within 24 hours

5) STAY CONSISTENT
➖Breaking cycles isn’t one decision, it’s repetition
⚒️Best Practice: Track the new behavior daily for 7 days — no excuses, no skips

Never a "perfect" life, bros. Only a life of progress!

You are ALWAYS worth it.

(5) Best practices for a bro to begin loving himself and ways to ⚒️put in the work⚒️:

1. KEEP SMALL PROMISES TO OURSELVES
⚒️Best Practice⚒️ Set one daily non-negotiable (wake time, workout, no phone for 30 mins). Hit it. Trust in ourselves is built through follow-through, not hype.

2. TALK TO OURSELVES LIKE SOMEONE WE CARE ABOUT
⚒️Best Practice⚒️ Catch the negative self-talk and reframe it:
Instead of “I’m screwing everything up” → “I’m learning and still showing up.”
Same situation. Different direction.

3. TAKE CARE OF THE BODY LIKE IT MATTERS—BECAUSE IT DOES
⚒️Best Practice⚒️ Move daily, hydrate, and get decent sleep. Not perfection—consistency. The body is the foundation for everything else.

4. CREATE SPACE TO BE HONEST
⚒️Best Practice⚒️ Journal, voice note, or sit in silence for 10 minutes. Ask: “What’s actually going on with us right now?”
Self-love starts with truth.

5. SURROUND OURSELVES WITH PEOPLE WHO REFLECT WORTH
⚒️Best Practice⚒️ Spend more time where we feel seen, not judged. If a room makes us shrink, it’s not the room to grow in.

Self-love is built in the quiet decisions, bros.

You are ALWAYS worth it.

ME → WE

This is where things start to change.
Isolation keeps men stuck.
Connection pulls men out.

Here are (5) ways we build WE — and how we can ⚒️PUT IN THE WORK⚒️ for each:

1) SPEAK UP FIRST
âž–Silence feeds isolation
⚒️Best Practice: Send the text. Make the call. Say “I’m not good right now” before things get heavy

2) SHOW UP IN PERSON
âž–Presence changes everything
⚒️Best Practice: Sit in the room. Even if no words come out. Proximity breaks loneliness

3) CHECK IN CONSISTENTLY
➖One conversation isn’t enough
⚒️Best Practice: Put names in the phone. Reach out weekly. Don’t wait for a crisis

4) MAKE IT NORMAL TO TALK
âž–We shift culture by what we allow
⚒️Best Practice: Share something real first. It gives other men permission to do the same

5) CARRY SOMEONE WHEN THEY CAN’T WALK
➖We don’t leave bros behind
⚒️Best Practice: Offer specific help — rides, food, sitting together. Don’t just say “let me know”

We don’t get better alone.
We get better together.
That’s how we turn
ME → WE

NEVER TELL A PERSON TO BE STRONG WHEN THEY CAME TO YOU TO BE WEAK

period.

People don’t need perfect words, just REAL presence.
Presence is the key first step in creating emotional space for others (especially for men).

Here are (8) ways to show up better for others, and how we can ⚒️PUT IN THE WORK⚒️:

1) VALIDATE
➖That’s heavy. That’s real. That matters
⚒️Best Practice: Pause. Look them in the eyes. Say it slow — “That sounds really hard. I’m glad you told me.”

2) NAME THE UNCERTAINTY
➖We don’t need fake answers to be real support
⚒️Best Practice: Get comfortable saying the truth — “I don’t know how this plays out, but I’m here with you no matter what.”

3) CHECK WHAT HELPS
➖Support isn’t one-size-fits-all
⚒️Best Practice: Ask directly — “Do we need comfort, a plan, or just someone to sit with right now?”

4) REFLECT IT BACK
âž–People feel seen when we actually hear them
⚒️Best Practice: Repeat it in our own words — “That sounds overwhelming and unfair… did I get that right?”

5) OFFER REAL HELP
âž–Words are good. Action hits different
⚒️Best Practice: Be specific — “I can come sit with you, grab food, or make a call. What actually helps tonight?”

6) SHOW AFFECTION
âž–Silence can feel like distance
⚒️Best Practice: Say it out loud — “I love you. I’m here. I’m not going anywhere.” (Even if it feels uncomfortable)

7) FOCUS ON RIGHT NOW
➖We don’t need to solve everything today
⚒️Best Practice: Bring it back to the moment — “We don’t have to fix the week. Let’s just get through tonight together.”

8) FOLLOW THROUGH
âž–Consistency builds trust
⚒️Best Practice: Do what we say — text in the morning, show up, drop off that coffee. Don’t disappear after the hard moment

We all need and deserve better presence from each other. That is su***de prevention.

"I LOVE YOU, SIS"

I was absolutely thrilled to have my sis here, Liv, attend and participate in our last women's mental health workshop.

"Who's Liv", you ask?

You know my little bro Aron, who I loved off the ledge? This is his fiance🥹

This was Liv's first time coming to an ilybro event, and I was so excited and honored to have her attend our monthly mental health support workshops for women.

Liv is quite literally why I created this program for women.
And here she is, putting in the work with other powerful women, for Men's Mental Health and Su***de Prevention.

Aron recently told me "Liv is the reason why keep coming to ilybro support groups".

Liv is a HUGE part of Aron's "why", and Aron is a HUGE part of her "why"---both are putting in the work with us, for each other.

Isn't that how it should be?

WE LOVE YOU, LIV!!!
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING UP FOR ARON, FOR KAI, AND FOR ALL OF USđź©·

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING TO BE ENOUGH

- "Be stronger"
- "Make more money"
- "Fix everything"
- "Put everyone's needs above your own"

Being "enough" isn't about "doing more", bros!

Here are (5) Ways Men Can Feel "Enough" — and how to ⚒️put in the work⚒️for each

1) SHOWING UP IS ENOUGH
〰️Being there matters more than having answers
⚒️ Best Practice:
Show up anyway — to the group, the call, the conversation — even if you don’t feel ready.

2) PROGRESS IS ENOUGH
〰️You don't have to fix everything today.
⚒️ Best Practice:
Focus on one small win each day. One text. One walk. One honest conversation.

3) TRYING IS ENOUGH
〰️Effort matters, even when results aren't perfect.
⚒️ Best Practice:
Give yourself credit for effort — not just outcomes.

4) BEING HUMAN IS ENOUGH
〰️You don't have to carry everything alone.
⚒️ Best Practice:
Let one person see the real you this week — struggles included.

5) WHO YOU ARE IS ENOUGH
〰️You bring value simply by being here.
⚒️ Best Practice:
Remind yourself of one thing you did today that helped someone else — even something small.
Being enough doesn’t mean we stop growing.
It means we stop believing we’re falling short.

You are ALWAYS enough.

You are ALWAYS worth it.
