136: When You Know Better… But Still Do It with Greg Schmaus
About this episode
Have you ever found yourself stuck in a pattern you know isn’t serving you… and no matter how much you try, you keep repeating it?
In this episode, I sit down with my friend and returning guest Greg Schmaus to explore why good men so often betray themselves—even when they’re doing everything they can to “fix it.” We go deep into Family Constellations, the victim triangle, and the unconscious contracts many of us form in childhood that silently shape our relationships, sense of power, and integrity.
This conversation is honest, eye-opening, and deeply practical—especially if you’ve ever said, “I know better… but I still can’t change.”
In this episode, we cover:
- The victim triangle as a constellation
- Why men stay stuck in self-betrayal
- How childhood dynamics shape adult relationships
- The link between infidelity and hidden family contracts
- Family Constellation work as a path to healing
