Welcome to Beyond Shame

Join us and stop the bullshit self-talk.

Heal your Shame. Live your Truth.

Join a community of men ready to unpack the emotions that hold us back, and start living with true confidence and authentic strength.

Shame is a master emotion that can quietly control our lives—whether we recognize it or not. For some, it manifests as feeling stuck, unworthy, or burdened with low self-esteem. For others, it’s hidden behind a mask of over-achievement, constantly striving to prove something. No matter how it shows up, shame keeps us from living authentically, and it thrives in isolation.

At Beyond Shame, we bring together men from all walks of life who are ready to break free from the weight of shame and stigma surrounding mental health. This community is a place to unpack those emotions, name the shame, and do the real work of healing in a safe, supportive environment. Whether you’re struggling with self-doubt, feeling trapped in your achievements, or just know that something has to change, you’ll find connection and understanding here.

As a member, you’ll get:

  • Meaningful Connections: Build relationships with men who, like you, are navigating their own mental health journey. Share experiences and find strength in vulnerability with others who truly get it.

  • Peer Support: Connect with others who have lived through similar challenges. Receive support and offer it in return as you walk this journey together.

  • Collective Healing: Join live peer group sessions where you’ll unpack emotions, share stories, and gain insight and encouragement from other men.

  • Engaging Experiences: While most interactions happen online, you’ll have the chance to meet in small, casual offline settings where you can build deeper connections in person.

  • Beyond the Screen: We believe bridging the gap between online and offline is crucial to building meaningful relationships. While most interactions will happen online, we’re dedicated to fostering real, human connections. That’s why we’ll be hosting small, in-person gatherings near our base in Carmel, Indiana. You don’t have to live nearby to join our community, but for those who can, these events will be an incredible opportunity to deepen connections.

  • Resources Along the Way: Access curated tools and insights designed to support your healing and personal growth, available whenever you need them.

A Community with Purpose: We’re currently accepting just 15 founding members to ensure this is an intimate, close-knit group. As a member, you’ll not only get access to private peer support and live sessions but also be part of something meaningful. The monthly subscription model allows us to invest time and energy into creating valuable experiences and resources. Plus, a portion of the proceeds (10%) will be donated to Mental Health America, so you’ll also be contributing to improving mental health for all.

A Place of Progress: After a year in this community, our goal is that you’ll walk away with a deeper sense of self-worth, real connections with men who understand your journey, and the tools to confidently face life’s challenges without the burden of shame. You'll have unpacked emotions you’ve been carrying for years, found strength in vulnerability, and built a foundation for healthier relationships, both with yourself and others. This won’t just feel like progress—it’ll feel like your best year yet, where you’ve not only grown but truly thrived. This will be the year where you didn’t just survive—you finally felt free to live authentically.

If you’re ready to invest in your well-being and join a community focused on real change, we’d love to have you on this journey. This is your chance to Go Beyond the BS and start living with confident vulnerability.

Welcome to the beginning of something meaningful!

Warmest,
Jeff Ringgenberg
