From intellectual insight with no emotional change to the absence of real-time feedback and challenge, I break down why many men stay trapped in old patterns—despite doing the “inner work.” I also reveal what actually moves the needle: embodied practice, nervous system regulation, accountability, and being witnessed by other men in a safe space.
