Your Ex-Boyfriend’s Podcast
Your Ex-Boyfriend’s Podcast is a critical look into being human, centered on one man’s journey to be healthy, happy, and fulfilled, led by Justis Tena, your local jack-of-all-trades. Each week on Sunday, we’ll discuss a different topic related to personal growth and navigating life, ranging from fear and shame, to finding purpose and joy, to critical thinking and setting boundaries. Solo episodes by Justis will be alternated with special guests, including nurses, police officers, sex coaches, therapists, teachers, friends, family members, and many more. All the while, we’ll be analyzing things through the lens of one college dropout turned blue collar philosopher, and keeping in mind that if it’s not hard, it’s probably not worth doing.

In this episode, I give a huge thank you to all of my new listeners who made my previous episode, "Attachment Theory," the most listened to episode of Your Ex-Boyfriend's Podcast to-date. As of this writing, over 16,000 new listeners have found that episode, and this podcast, and the number continues to grow. I am blown away and can't thank you all enough!
Following me pouring my heart out, in the second half of the episode we'll discuss some principles we've touched on before and how they apply to this red letter day, namely gratitude, experiencing without expectations, labels, the comfort zone, and as always, why anything that's worth doing takes hard work.

In this episode, I finally catch up on my research and attempt a concise explanation of Attachment Theory and how it manifests in people's day-to-day. There's a whole world of "why" we, as human beings, attach to others in the ways we do, and this episode isn't about that...but if you want a crash course into how these attachment styles pop up and interact with each other, this one's for you.
