Through an honest talk about recent competition, the hosts connect the dots between physical health (bloodwork, weight loss, testosterone), nervous-system regulation, and emotional availability. They unpack the damaging pattern of expecting a spouse to be a "mom," the role of shame, and the difference between being rescued and taking responsibility. Expect actionable encouragement: get help, do the work, show up consistently, and let faith and self-care fuel real intimacy.

Send us Fan Mail Practical, theological, and deeply human, this interview explores how identity, performance, and fear of abandonment drive destructive patterns — from hopping ranches to day drinking to pushing friends away. Bodie explains the moment his marriage and fatherhood forced a reckoning, how curiosity about the root causes of his behavior changed everything, and why learning new tools shortened his low seasons. The pair unpack the difference between healthy pride and the critical voice that projects onto others, offering listeners a roadmap: get curious, find brothers, do the inner work, and let faith and community steady you through the hardest rides.

Send us Fan Mail Josh’s beach trip unspools into a raw exploration of vulnerability: rented ‘the Hulk’ longboard, giant sets, and an ego-driven decision to paddle out lead to a humbling wipeout and later a stingray puncture that leaves him in intense pain. Josh & Jeremy use the episode to unpack how unmet expectations make us miss the good parts of life—like surfing with a daughter—and expose selfishness. They talk practical reflections: coach yourself through disappointment, reframe outcomes, hold wins and losses loosely, and lean into the lesson instead of letting a single moment define your worth.    Retreat info https://www.thewildcourage.org/events/wild-courage-spring-2026-retreat-zazz8 Support the show

The episode follows Brian from steer riding and bronc addiction to the shop floor—dayworking, saddlebuilding, and eventually horseshoeing—where a canceled saddle order pushed him into silversmithing and engraving. Along the way he reflects on mentorship, hard lessons about control, and how craft can both conceal and heal the deeper struggles of a life forged in motion.
