I’m Michael Jaquith. A modern Catholic guy, a podcaster, and a Life Coach. This podcast is dedicated to those guys who really want to grow and become the man God created them to be.
We’ll talk about both practical strategies for managing life, better ways to view and engage the world, and how to take one step closer to standing tall in the sight of the Father.
Probably the most consistent question I get asked in a phone call is “How is Life Coaching different from Therapy?” It may seem like they are similar – but actually have some pretty significant differences in approach. It all has to do with Trauma.
In this episode I discuss what trauma is and how it works. The bigger question most people want to ask – what can you do about it?? We all have trauma (at least all of us whose parents were human.) The extent of the trauma determines what we do next.
Very few guys I’ve met like to talk about their feelings. So much so that a common joke about what guys least want to do is “sit and talk about our feelings.” Yet, we do need to talk about them. Furthermore, we need to dig deeper to really find them – then take the even bigger risk and share them with those whom we love.
In this episode I really go deeper on the idea of how feelings play a role in our lives. This is often one of the biggest resistance points I have with new clients who really really want to claim they do not have feelings. In this episode, you’ll learn not only why it’s helpful to dig and share your feelings, but how to do it too!
This was a tough topic for me. When I first learned about my own disordered love style I was really resistant to what I was reading. I didn’t see – for quite some time – that what I was doing was wrong. I certainly didn’t see how it was hurtful to my wife.
We all fail at the commandment to love. God created us from love, and for love. Yet, instead of living out a true covenant-style love of complete and total mutual gift of selves, we close the doors to one piece or another. This created pain in our relationships – especially in our marriages.
I really invite you to come along with me on this episode.

“It has been extremely helpful to have someone that can look at things from an outside perspective and ask objective, and hard, questions and then follow that up with some great resource recommendations. He has helped me question my own assumptions which has allowed me to get clear and focused on my goals and objectives to and be able to make changes in my circumstances and life.”
