About the show

The Climb Higher Podcast is a short-form weekly show for people rebuilding themselves after heartbreak, emotional burnout, betrayal, anxiety, and identity collapse. Hosted by relationship coach and speaker Michael Temple, each episode delivers grounded, psychologically informed conversations about attachment, healing, emotional regulation, self-respect, masculinity, relationships, and personal growth — without manipulation tactics, gimmicks, or false promises. This is not a “get your ex back” podcast. This is about rebuilding your life, reclaiming your identity, strengthening your mind, and learning how to move forward with clarity, dignity, and emotional stability. Some episodes will challenge you.Some will steady you.Some may feel uncomfortably honest. But every episode is designed to help you think more clearly, heal more deeply, and stop abandoning yourself in the process of trying to hold onto people who no longer choose you. Short. Direct. Human. Because the higher you climb…the better the view.
