Kevin Hein – Authenticity, Finding Purpose and the Healing Effects of Fly Fishing (Ep. 32)

Share This:


“In counseling, what I see in men, especially younger guys, is this deep-rooted insecurity. They feel behind in life—behind in income, purpose, relationships. And a lot of that comes from the lies they’ve internalized: ‘I’m not good enough, I don’t measure up.’ So what I try to do is help them replace those lies with truths. We work on discovering their real worth and gifts. Once they do, the anxiety starts to lift. It’s like they suddenly realize, ‘I’m capable, I’m valuable,’ and that changes everything.”
