THE STEADY MAN LAB

Pressure → Presence

8 weekly In-Person Group Sessions
& Access to Free Weekly Somatic Movement classes

Investment: $525 
Payment plans available

An 8-week, skills-based men’s coaching group for stress, burnout, relationships, and emotional regulation — built for real life, not performative vulnerability.

What This Is

Pressure, burnout, and stress show up differently for different men: irritability, shutdown, checking out, over-functioning, avoidance, control, and an “I’m fine,” that isn’t really fine.

The Steady Man Lab is a coaching container for building groundedness under stress, and for practicing what to do when things go sideways.

Not just a talk circle, or a place where you feel you must perform vulnerability. This is structured, practical, and focused on week-to-week change.

What You'll Explore

If This Sounds Familiar, You’re in the Right Room

You…

  • Feel more reactive than you want to be (irritable, snappy, impatient)
     

  • Shut down or check out under pressure
     

  • Feel like you’re always holding it together, but not really present
     

  • Have conflict that goes sideways at home, in co-parenting, or in dating
     

  • Want tools that work in the moment, not just insight after the fact

What We’re Training

A Simple Plan That Holds Up When Life Gets Busy, So This Isn’t a Temporary Boost.

Staying Regulated When You’re Triggered

Dealing with Anger & Shutdown

Boundaries That Don’t Become a Fight

 

Conflict Repair
 

What Makes This Different

  • Skills-based &  practice-forward (not just discussion)

  • Designed for real life: stress, relationships, fathering, co-parenting, dating

  • Clear norms so it doesn’t turn into venting or fixing

  • Small cohort, so it stays grounded and useful

Who This is For

Men who want to show up better in life and relationships, whether you’re partnered, single, dating, or co-parenting, and who want a practical space to build steadiness under pressure.

Who It's Not For

If you’re looking for intensive trauma processing, a crisis support group, or an unstructured “vent session,” this won’t be the right fit.

STEPHANIE DASHER, LPC-A, NCC, RYT

I built The Steady Man Lab for men who want tools, practice, and a steadier way to show up in life and their relationships. My background includes years with Warrior Surf Foundation, supporting veterans through skills-based, community-centered programming. This group is facilitated as coaching (not psychotherapy). I’m the founder of Gnosis Wellness Co. and an LPC-A in South Carolina (Supervision: Dr. Maia Gill, PhD, SC#1202, Navi Institute LLC).

Weekly Labs Focus

01.

Week 1 — Pressure Profile

Identify your default under stress (snap, shut down, fix, numb) + build a baseline reset.

03.

Week 3 — Anger & Shutdown

Work with irritation, anger, and withdrawal. Plus what to do before you blow or disappear.

05.

Week 5 — Conflict Without Collapse

De-escalation & staying present in hard conversations (partner, co-parent, dating, family).

07.

Week 7 — Relationships & Integrity

Show up as the man you want to be. At home, with kids, in dating/co-parenting, without the old patterns driving.​​​​

02.

Week 2 — Downshift Tools

Fast regulation skills for when your nervous system is lit up (without checking out).

04.

Week 4 — Boundaries & Direct Communication

Clear asks, clean “no’s,” and less mind-reading, without turning it into a fight.

06.

Week 6 — Repair Practice

What to say and do after things go sideways: apology, repair, reconnection, next steps.

08.

Week 8 — Maintenance Plan

A straightforward plan for the next month: your non-negotiables, the one skill you’re practicing, and how you’ll handle pressure when it spikes.
