Your Thursday Three Things for April 10, 2025
Unlocking the Fire Within - Leading from the Heart!
Your Thursday Three Things Brought to you by me, Jon Macaskill from Frogman Mindfulness, and Will Schneider - and together we are Men Talking Mindfulness.
Every man has a flame inside him. But for many of us, it gets buried. Under stress. Under pressure. Under the stories we’re told … and the ones we tell ourselves.
Maybe you’ve been taught to suppress your instincts… To tiptoe through your relationship… To avoid conflict, even if it’s quietly killing you.
But what if your power, your peace, your purpose… what if they all lived on the other side of that discomfort?
That’s what we discussed this week on the podcast with Sasha Fedorovsky — a men's relationship coach and founder of the Mind Heart Method. Sasha doesn’t pull punches. She says what many men need to hear — even if it’s hard to hear.
And one message stood out loud and clear:
👉 The life you want… the relationship you want… the man you want to be… Doesn’t come from people-pleasing. It comes from presence, clarity, and clean leadership.
Not dictatorship. Not control. But grounded, embodied, loving leadership.
Sasha has helped hundreds of high-performing men from CEOs, to service members, to first responders reclaim their power at home and in life. And this episode might be the wake-up call many of us need.

And if you're ready to build more presence and power and clean out the emotional clutter that's holding you back, join us for our upcoming live virtual meditation course, starting April 27th. Details are at: mentalkingmindfulness.com/learnmeditation
YOUR THREE THINGS
1. Episode with Sasha Fedorovsky – “Men, Women, and Leadership in Love” A bold and nuanced conversation about intimacy, masculine leadership, and how men can show up more powerfully in their relationships. A must-listen whether you’re single, married, or somewhere in between. 🎧 Listen here
2. “No More Mr. Nice Guy” by Dr. Robert Glover This book came up again on the show — and for good reason. It’s not about becoming an alpha jerk. It’s about reclaiming your strength, integrity, and boundaries so you can be fully yourself in your relationships. It’s one of the most referenced books on our show for a reason.
3. This quote from Sasha
“A man who doesn’t meditate is a danger to society.” Let that sink in. Meditation isn’t just for calm. It’s how we sharpen our awareness, clean out emotional static, and build the presence that others — and especially our partners — feel. And it’s how we stop reacting and start leading.
Thanks for being part of this journey with us. We’re not here to play small. We’re here to become the men the world needs.
See you next week.

P.S. We’ve never been about quick fixes.
From the beginning, Men Talking Mindfulness has been about doing the work… having the real conversations… building a life that’s grounded, resilient, and true to who you are.
We’ve talked openly about breathwork, meditation, mental health, masculinity, vulnerability, grief, and growth. We’ve shared the messy, beautiful, challenging parts of being human… and we’ve heard from so many of you who are walking your own path toward becoming a happier, healthier version of yourself.
That’s what we care about: giving people real tools to feel better, think clearer, and live more fully.
So when we came across Neurish, it wasn’t a business opportunity. It was a values alignment.
Neurish is a clean, effective health drink designed to support brain health, focus, and overall well-being. It’s packed with nutrients that actually work… and it’s made by people who actually care.
No hype. No B.S. Just a thoughtful formula to support your mind and body.
We tried it. We liked it. We felt the difference. And more importantly… we trusted the mission behind it.
So we teamed up.
This isn’t about selling drinks… it’s about expanding our toolkit. Mindfulness, breath, movement, community… and now, Neurish. One more piece to support you in the work you’re already doing.

No pressure. No push. Just something we believe in—and wanted to share with you.
Because this mission we’re on? It’s real.
And we’re just getting started.
