Men, Emotions, and Real Resilience: A Conversation with Marchem Pfeiffer
Plan To Be Your Best …Live Podcast
October 24, 2025
What does it look like to rebuild your identity after toxic leadership, workplace PTSD, divorce, and uncertainty—without rushing the process?
In this conversation, Marchem Pfeiffer shares how he chose a foundation of peace, set healthy boundaries, used anchoring/grounding (breath + presence), and reframed anger as data—not identity.
We explore practical tools: asking better questions, normalizing men’s emotions, carrying the pen to author the next sentence, and the courage to choose peace every day.
