A podcast about men, life, connection and the things we don’t always say out loud


Have you ever felt like there's too much pressure, and nowhere to turn?

Well you’re not alone and this podcast is for you.


This podcast exists because host Dom Fiore suffered a life changing injury that sent him on a journey of discovery.

Dom believes that proper connection is what is missing for most men and he wants to understand how we can make that change together.


With a focus on lived experience Dom is on a journey to discover real life stories with real life men and experts on a range of subjects to understand how we can connect, deal with and share the changes and experiences that life brings.


We talk about life, health, fitness, career, family, relationships, stress and how we connect as men.

The show will feature in depth interviews, personal reflections and how we keep going when the pressure is on.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • The Parts We Hide: A Shadow Work Therapist On Coming Out, Rebuilding, And Living Honestly Later In Life

    The Parts We Hide: A Shadow Work Therapist On Coming Out, Rebuilding, And Living Honestly Later In Life
    Oct 18 2026
    The Parts We HideA Shadow Work Therapist On Coming Out, Rebuilding, And Living Honestly Later In LifeGuest: Kenny Whitelaw-Jones — shadow work psychotherapistTrigger WarningThis episode touches on sensitive topics including sexuality and childhood sexual abuse. Please be aware before listening.Episode DescriptionKenny Whitelaw-Jones is a shadow work psychotherapist. He is also a man who spent decades building a persona — a version of himself he thought he should be — before the reality of who he actually was became impossible to keep pushing down.In this conversation, Kenny explains what shadow work is and where it comes from — the Jungian idea that we all arrive in the world as a full personality, and gradually learn which parts of ourselves are not OK with the people around us. Those parts don’t disappear. They go underground, fester, and come out sideways — as compulsive behaviour, as patterns in relationships, as the version of us that jumps up and grabs the wheel when we’re not paying attention.He also talks about why standard talking therapy didn’t work for him, and what he found in shadow work that one session in — a level of change and insight that years of talking had never produced. About being a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and the confusion that left behind. About the midlife reckoning that brought everything to the surface. And about coming out as queer in his 40s, after a marriage and a life built around a different story.Kenny also talks about the bus metaphor that Dom takes away from the conversation — the idea that we spend most of our lives driving the bus, competent and adult and apparently in control, while at the back sit all the earlier versions of us, waiting for their moment to grab the wheel. It’s a frame that anyone who has lived enough life will recognise.Timestamps00:00 We’re All Messy Human Beings.

  • What having a Child with Autism Taught me about Connection and How to Let Go of the Child you Expected

    What having a Child with Autism Taught me about Connection and How to Let Go of the Child you Expected
    Oct 11 2026
    Episode 22What Having a Child with Autism Taught Me About ConnectionHow to Let Go of the Child You ExpectedGuest: Craig Parks — camp director, musician and founder of Parenting HarmonyEpisode DescriptionCraig Parks has spent 30 years working with other people’s children. He’s a camp director, a musician and a parenting coach. When his son was diagnosed with autism at around 18 months, Craig and his wife had to readjust everything — the future they’d imagined, the social life they’d assumed, the milestones they’d expected. Their home became a place of constant therapy. They stopped going to gatherings. They became isolated. And Craig, for all his professional expertise with children, found himself learning that everything is harder with your own kids.In this conversation, Craig talks about what that early diagnosis actually meant for the family — emotionally, spiritually, financially. About the fear of never hearing his son say ‘I love you’. About the years of letting go, slowly, of the child he’d imagined. And about what he found instead: a son who teaches skateboarding to kids, DJs parties, plays drums in one of Craig’s bands, and is — as Craig says simply — a shining soul in this world.He also talks about the mundane moments that build a childhood — why the memories that last are almost never the big planned ones. About technology and how to navigate it with kids. About physical presence and what it does. And about his coaching work through Parenting Harmony, helping parents create a childhood both they and their children can look back on with gratitude rather than regret.Timestamps00:00 Cold Open — He Didn’t Get a High School Diploma.
