<p><strong>From Burnout to Boundaries: Clarity, Values, and Life Reboot</strong></p><p>Host Andy Grant interviews coach Loren Silverman, who helps overwhelmed high performers set healthier boundaries, clarify values, and rebuild steadier lives, including through his gamified 12-week “Life Reboot Nerd Edition” (a Dungeons &amp; Dragons-style framework where clients “level up” real-life skills like boundaries and energy mastery). Silverman shares his own burnout and how the 2022 Ukraine invasion—impacting his Ukrainian dev team—prompted him to travel to Poland to transport refugees, reshaping how he wanted to serve people. </p><p>Loren emphasizes pausing for self-awareness, naming emotions (using tools like a feelings wheel), and choosing clarity over trying harder when misaligned with values: “Are you just not satisfied, or are you despondent?” He defines boundaries as protecting time and energy, warns against reflexive yeses, describes “cleaner conversations” via clear requests, and uses pinball’s “dead bounce” as a metaphor for patience and measured response. He encourages men to embrace vulnerability and intimacy with male friends.</p><p>00:00 Name Your Feelings<br>00:18 Meet Loren Silverman<br>00:57 Burnout to Coaching<br>01:36 Ukraine Turning Point<br>05:20 What Burnout Felt Like<br>07:25 Values Before Action<br>08:27 Pause Reboot Grow<br>09:01 Clarity Beats Effort<br>11:15 Life Reboot Nerd Edition<br>14:03 Boundaries That Protect<br>17:25 Clean Conversations<br>19:44 Feelings Wheel Basics<br>20:58 Tracking Real Progress<br>22:04 Pinball Life Lessons<br>24:56 Connect and Final Wisdom<strong>Connect with Loren</strong><br>Loren Silverman — <a href="https://www.silvermancoach.com/">https://www.silvermancoach.com/</a><br>LinkedIn — <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorensilverman/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorensilverman/</a><br>Instagram — <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lorensilvermancoach/">https://www.instagram.com/lorensilvermancoach/</a><br>Facebook — <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578400050255">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578400050255</a></p><p><strong>Connect with Andy:</strong><br>Join other like-minded men in the<br>Authentic AF Community | <a href="https://www.realmenfeel.org/group%E2%81%A0">https://www.realmenfeel.org/group⁠</a><br>Instagram | @realmenfeelshow &amp; @theandygrant<br>Andy Grant | <a href="https://theandygrant.xn--com-xw0aa">https://theandygrant.com⁠⁠</a> for coaching, healing, and book info!<br>Real Men Feel | <a href="http://xn--realmenfeel-z63fa.xn--org-xw0aa">http://⁠⁠realmenfeel.org⁠⁠</a><br>YouTube | <a href="https://youtube.com/realmenfeel%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0">https://youtube.com/realmenfeel⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>#RealMenFeel ep 401</p>
