WITIN RADIO: Redefining The Counter Culture

The recent run of Batman comics by red-hot comic book writer Tom King has really leaned into Batman’s human side, exploring his loneliness, mental health and doomed romantic life more profoundly than any in recent memory. And now, it appears, the series is going to tackle yet another of the Dark Knight’s all-too-human experiences: lost faith.In a preview of an upcoming issue illustrated by Lee Weeks and released to Inverse, Bruce Wayne reveals that his father raised him as a Christian. Wayne’s father, as you may be aware, is no longer in the picture, and when he died, he took Bruce’s fledgling faith with him. No word on whether or not Bruce is going to rediscover his faith as part of this story, but he’s not in a great place, generally. His bride-to-be, Catwoman, stood him up at the altar and he’s in trouble with the law for possibly botching a case. So, if ever there was a time for Batman to turn to a higher power, it might be now.You can read the full preview here.

Brian Begin, creator of men’s success community FEARLESS, has just released a new blog post on its empowering website thefearlessman.com about a common problem people face - the inability to move on from a relationship. In the article, ‘Start to Really Get over Someone by Asking Yourself this Question’, Begin encourages men to ask themselves what the person they’re fixated on offers that they don’t believe they can give themselves. “A while back I discovered – both in work with clients and in my own life – that asking this question really cuts to the core of why you’re having trouble truly letting someone go,” says Begin. “Once you have those answers, you know what beliefs you need to work on, and I link to meditative processes for that in the post as well.” Begin further explains that men need to be brutally honest about their beliefs and look pragmatically at their reasoning. If someone gave them love and happiness, can they not fulfill that love, self-esteem and validation themselves?…

In a brand-new FEARLESS blog post, success and empowerment coach Brian Begin explains how men often feel trapped by anger and fear, and how to easily let go of them in ‘How to Release All Emotions’ at TheFearlessMan.com. Releasing, also known as Letting Go or Allowing, is a focused meditative practice of processing stuck emotions, past experiences, limiting beliefs and other emotional baggage that is central to the work done in all FEARLESS intensive workshops. “I didn’t used to talk a lot about things like releasing publicly, because it’s pretty advanced stuff… it can be perceived as a little ‘woo-woo’ at first glance, and I wasn’t sure our audience - outside of established clients - would be into it,” says Begin. “But meditation is gaining mainstream attention these days, and when I tested it out a little on our YouTube channel, guys absolutely loved it, so I’m putting more of it out there on our website now because it’s such a transformative part of what we really do in our intensive…
