Listen on:
In this powerful episode of Spirit Talk Show, Doyle sits down with Josh Tomeoni for an honest, deeply personal conversation about masculinity, divorce, identity collapse, addiction, failure, and the long road back to yourself.
Josh opens up about the moment his life cracked open—when shame, loss, and the collapse of the life he thought he had forced him to confront who he really was underneath the roles of husband, father, provider, and “good man.” What follows is a raw and thoughtful exploration of what happens when the white-picket-fence dream falls apart and a man has to decide whether he will keep hiding or finally face himself.
Together, Doyle and Josh talk about modern masculinity, self-worth versus self-esteem, addiction as escape, the pressure men feel to be useful at all costs, and why so many men suffer in silence rather than reach for help. Josh also shares insights from his book, The Gospel of an Ex-Derelict: Fight, Fail, Rebuild, offering a grounded and compassionate framework for what rebuilding can actually look like.
This is a conversation about pain, responsibility, identity, and the courage to stop performing strength and start becoming real.
A moving episode for anyone who has lost the life they thought they were supposed to have and is trying to build something truer in its place.
