How to Set Boundaries with People and Protect Your Energy with Anthony Godaire

Published on: 26th March, 2024

Many of us haven't been taught how to set healthy boundaries with people, and as a result, our relationships struggle. This week I am joined by Anthony Godaire, to talk about setting boundaries, how to protect your energy and about the toxicity of perfectionism. He shares his remarkable journey of conquering depression through self-awareness.

Anthony reveals how using the life wheel to review his life and activities helps keep him on track for his goals and away for the spiral of depression. He shared an analogy on how limiting beliefs can hold us captive, similar to how fleas can be trained to believe they can only jump so high. Join us to hear Anthony's journey of rising from perfectionism and boundaries to managing his energy and mental capacity through awareness.

About the Podcast

Living Fearless Today
Helping men break generational cycles, heal the father wound, and become a better husband and dad.
You swore you'd be a different kind of father than the one who raised you. Then one day you caught his words and tone coming out of your mouth. You felt the same distance creep in at home, and wondered how much of him you're still carrying despite the promise you made to yourself.

Living Fearless Today is a podcast for men who are done repeating the patterns they grew up with. Host Mike Forrester has stood where you're standing. Every week he brings honest conversations and practical tools for the parts of a man's life that rarely get said out loud: the father wound you never named, the anger that shows up with the people you love most, the marriage that's gone quiet, and the man you still want to become.

The show helps you understand the past that shaped you. Then you take an honest look at where you stand today as a husband, a father, and a man. From there you start building the future you actually want, one choice at a time, instead of drifting into the one you were handed and currently living out.

Episodes cover identity, anger, shame, marriage and fatherhood, relationships, self-worth, courage, emotional intelligence, legacy and purpose, and the brotherhood that the vast majority of men are missing. If you've looked for how to break generational cycles, face a father wound, handle anger as a dad, or become a better husband and father, start here.

The cycle can end with you. Press play and take the first step toward becoming the man you needed when you were young.
