Welcome to GuyShrink Substack

Hello, GuyShrink fans and listeners-- Holiday blessings and treasures of peace and love in this season fill you with wonder and hope. It has been over a year since I last aired a GuyShrink show and this fall was hoping to re-launch with even better and more meaty episodes. What keeps a guy awake at night remains the best opening conversation starter with guests.
However, some difficult production issues have emerged, leading me to rethink and recalibrate the GuyShrink Show. My expertise and energy get focused best in interviewing and hosting; I need assistance in logistics.
So, I am asking you, listeners and fans, two things—if you liked what GuyShrink presented give me a “thumbs up” at [email protected] and any suggestions about better production are most welcome.
2025 presents another opportunity to move forward in this human adventure we all share. Let this thought from the ancient Stoic philosopher Epictetus be your guide for this New Year.
“From now on, then, resolve to live as a grownup who is making progress, and make whatever you think best a law that you never set aside.”
Thanks for tuning in. Bill Roman, GuyShrink host

In the middle of the night have you ever wrestled with the thought that the world would be better off without you? Do you ever feel like you have to pretend you’re not broken and pray that your struggle doesn’t get passed onto your kids as the family legacy? Do those midnight ghosts haunt you with the message that you’re so messed up beyond any hope of figuring life out? Bullseye! You’re not alone, ever. Joe Reid has been there so many times he’s lost count. In this GuyShrink episode, he and Bill talk about how to make that daily struggle of more than barely making it to a rigorous climb up to real mental health. Joe has authored the unique Mental Health Scale that these two guys will explore and make practical use of. Joe is the author of the honest, raw and authentic book, Broken Like Me. This is no self-pity conversation but one that can empower every man. After you listen, you’ll have a first-class toolkit to help you thrive.

To be human is to be in relationships. Ugh. Red flag hoisted! We can’t survive without them but at the same time, it’s in our relationships that we can so easily get unraveled. This is the stuff that keeps a guy up at night. How to navigate the sticky wicket of significant others: wives, partners, spouses, along with parents, kids, coworkers, and friendships, is tough going. Dr. Jenny Brown, founder and now retired Executive Director of the Family Systems Institute in Sydney, Australia, joins Bill Roman on this GuyShrink episode to talk about how to bring your best into all of life’s relationships. Speaking through solid experience Jenny will cause you to take a deep look at the ways you present yourself in all the places where you show up. She offers no quick fixes nor 5 easy tips to win, but her words will speak directly to wherever you might be in your life’s journey. Her book Growing Yourself Up is the best guide out there to do just that. We thoroughly enjoyed this interview and know you will, too.
