Optimize your life
I help men strengthen their core masculine attributes, that is, I help men get their balls back, their minds back, and their hearts back, so they can get the lives and relationships they want.

me and his knowledge and spiritual wisdom have helped me to navigate my personal and professional life towards success.
I highly recommend his coaching and other services.
In this the fifth and last talk, Fr Michael talks about the “Voice of the Father,” which, in contrast to the “Voice of the Accuser,” is full of grace and mercy. As adoptive sons of God, we, too, can hear the Father affirm that we are His beloved sons, in whom He is well pleased. …
In this first talk, Fr Michael describes some of the wounds men bear, especially the verbal wounding we receive from our dads, from siblings, bullies, and other men in our lives, as well as the harsh self-talk in which we engage every day. There is some coarse language here. “Satan,” or “Shaitan” in the original …
The four Natural Virtues recognized by the ancient philosophers–courage, restraint, prudence, & justice–are alive and well today. In this video, I show how men in the self-development arena are using updated versions of the four virtues to help men lead optimal lives. Podcast: Play in new window | Download
