Nice guy syndrome doesn't look like a problem from the outside. It looks like someone who never causes a fuss, never asks for too much, and is slowly disappearing inside his own relationship.

In this episode, Lauren Dry, Master Marriage Coach and founder of Rise into Regulation™, sits down with Jason Lange, a men's embodiment coach and certified No More Mr Nice Guy coach who has trained with leaders including John Wineland and Dr Robert Glover. Jason spends his days helping men move out of people pleasing and into real presence, intimacy, and connection in their own lives and relationships.

Together Lauren and Jason look underneath the nice guy pattern, at what it's actually protecting, what it's costing, and what becomes possible for a man and the people who love him once he stops performing and starts showing up as himself.

You'll hear about

• What a covert contract really is and how it quietly builds resentment
• Why people pleasing so often starts from a genuinely loving place
• The difference between being nice and being honest
• What resentment is actually trying to point you towards
• What changes in a relationship once a man stops performing

Underneath the nice guy pattern is usually a person who learned, a long time ago, that being loved meant disappearing a little. Coming back to yourself, and letting the people around you actually know you, is where real safety and connection begin.
