#008 - You aren't actually angry at your parents...

If you have yet to subscribe to the show, please do so now!This is a solo episode. No guest. Just me, a microphone, and one of the most important conversations of our time.Your parents hurt you. That is real. That pain is valid. And this episode is not here to dismiss it. But it is here to ask you a harder question. At what point does the blame that once protected you become the very thing that is keeping you from the life you say you want?I speak from personal experience in this one. A mother with heavily narcissistic tendencies. A father who gaslights and evades. A childhood that left me confused, wounded, and looking for answers. And a long, nonlinear journey from denial to villainization to responsibility to something that finally felt like freedom.This episode covers:- Why most people are more committed to proving they were hurt than actually becoming free- The four stages of processing your relationship with your parents- Why you keep forgiving them but still keep getting activated- The prison of hope and the grief of a relationship that will never become what you secretly wish it might- Why unresolved resentment is almost always unresolved self abandonment- The difference between fitting in and truly belonging- The question that reframes your entire perspective on your parents- How to truly move beyond your parents psychological gripThis one will meet you wherever you are with your parents. And it will ask you to go one step further.Follow the podcast: https://www.instagram.com/youchoosepodcast/Follow Billy: https://www.instagram.com/billygartonjr/CHAPTERS03:00 to 06:30 It is easier to blame your parents than heal.

#007 - Chris Griffin - The one trait we all lack but need

If you haven't yet, please subscribe to the show! Three years ago Chris Griffin was broke, heartbroken, and boarding a one way flight to Thailand on a credit card with no plan. Today he has one of the biggest podcasts in Australia, millions of followers, and a clarity about himself that most men spend their entire lives chasing.But the most honest moment in this conversation is not about the success. It is about the season when he had millions of fans and no one to call. When he had changed five friend groups in two years and finally had to ask himself the question most men are too proud to ask. Is it them or is it me?In this conversation Billy and Chris go deep on: * The real difference between confidence and ego and why most men have it backwards * Why naivety and delusion are not weaknesses but the only fuel that gets you through what you cannot yet see * How the $200 million thought experiment will permanently change the way you show up today * Why people pleasing is secretly serving the belief that you are not enough * What it actually means to be okay alone and why most men are terrified of finding out * How ego is the childhood wound that protected you then and is destroying you now * Why the most freeing thing anyone ever said to Chris was that no one cares about you. This one moves fast. It hits hard. And it ends with the line that might change everything for you.Chapters:03:00 to 08:30 Why do people admire but never commit?08:30 to 15:00 What if not knowing is the secret?15:00 to 23:30 Broke, heartbroken, one way flight to Thailand...23:30 to 30:08 Why knowing nothing brings Chris closer to God30:08 to 38:00 What does people pleasing say about you?38:00 to 44:00 Why can most men not sit alone?44:00 to 55:00 What if $200 million hit your account tomorrow?55:00 to 01:00:50 What happens when you become the person first?01:00:50 to 01:05:37 Millions of followers and no one to call...01:05:37 to 01:15:00 What is your childhood ego still hiding?01:15:00 to 01:27:12 The most freeing thing anyone ever told ChrisFollow Chris: https://www.instagram.com/morechrisgriffin/Follow the podcast: https://www.instagram.com/youchoosepodcast/Follow Billy: https://www.instagram.com/billygartonjr/

#006 - David Siciliano - Here's why you feel like you're doing it all wrong

If you have yet to subscribe to the show, please do so now!What does it feel like to spend your whole life knowing you're different?This is the primary theme that threads David Siciliano's story.Raised inside a conservative religious community that rewarded conformity and punished curiosity, David spent years collecting shame for simply being wired differently. He went into acting not because he wanted to perform but because it was the only space that let him explore without judgment. He studied psychology at the Ivy League level, went to therapy every week, and slowly pieced together what it actually meant to be himself.In this episode we cover: * What it really means to feel other as a man * Why the religious shame so many men carry is actually a rebellion against interpretation and not belief * How acting teaches you to see your feelings as information rather than identity * What David's one year old son River is teaching him about self acceptance * Why most parents are unconsciously parenting from their own discomfort * How the body rehearses anxiety the same way an actor rehearses a character * The inside out versus outside in approach to regulating your nervous system * The improv rule that will change how you show up in every relationship * Why the most liberating thing a man can hear is that there is nothing to fix.Chapters:03:00 to 07:20 He spent his whole life feeling different07:20 to 13:56 The shame his church gave him 13:56 to 20:16 He used acting to escape. 20:16 to 28:00 Jacob wrestled God and broke his hip...28:00 to 35:00 His one year old son is healing something in him35:00 to 44:38 Your parents were parenting their own discomfort not yours44:38 to 57:00 Are you actually anxious or have you just rehearsed it?57:00 to 01:04:00 What your voice is telling you about your nervous system01:04:00 to 01:21:00 Being called feminine as a boy 01:21:00 to 01:46:00 The one improv rule that will change every relationship you have01:46:00 to 01:52:43 What David would say to his son if he had 60 secondsThis one goes somewhere most conversations never reach.Follow David: https://www.instagram.com/sicilianod/Follow the podcast: https://www.instagram.com/youchoosepodcast/Follow Billy: https://www.instagram.com/billygartonjr_/

Joshua Church is a Forbes 30 Under 30 founder, author and podcast host who built Edge Theory Labs into a $20 million company in three years — and then watched it fall apart.
