When most men think about ego, they think arrogance or insecurity. But the real issue isn’t having an ego — it’s having an unhealthy one.
In this episode of The Work, I explore how an insecure ego drives stress, defensiveness, and relationship struggles, often without you realising it.
We cover what the ego really is, how it forms, why it becomes rigid, and how awareness, mental flexibility, and connection help you build a healthier relationship with yourself.
This isn’t about getting rid of your ego.
It’s about learning how to work with it — so it stops running your life in the background.
This is the work.
