My Story - The Man Behind the Mic
Manage episode 487801625 series 3669263
Corey Baum shares his personal journey from emotional suppression and living behind masks to authentic leadership and fatherhood. This vulnerable narrative serves as both confession and invitation, revealing how breaking generational patterns begins with facing our deepest truths.
• Growing up learning to adapt but not express emotions in a home where conflict was either invisible or explosive
• Developing survival strategies: being useful, likable, easy, invisible when necessary
• Carrying shame and doubt underneath a high-achieving exterior
• Escaping through overachievement, alcohol, and pornography
• Living a double life - appearing confident while inwardly feeling unworthy and afraid
• Finding a breaking point with the realization "I can't live like this anymore"
• Taking intentional steps toward healing: therapy, journaling, breathwork, men's groups
• Transforming fatherhood by modeling emotional honesty and presence
• Discovering authentic leadership that begins at home
• Building the Evolve Men Project as a mission to help men break free from isolation
