The intention of this show is to bring together men and women in harmony and honor each other's masculine and feminine energetic cores.

In this episode of For the Love of Men we discuss:

The qualities that men display that grow the connection, provide a deep sense of safety, and give us heart eyes!

Hold space- so many women have the experience of struggling to speak up because they feel unsafe “rocking the boat”. Action Item: Practice pausing before you problem solve, guess how she’s feeling and stay curious about the experience she’s trying to share with you.

Go after your goals- getting the support you need as you’re growing into the best version of yourself. This can look like hiring a mentor, investing in your health, learning a new skill, etc. Action Item: Reach out for what you need to make your dreams reality, your woman wants to cheer for you but isn’t always the most suitable coach.

When you open up to us- there is nothing that creates more safety for us than when you are able to share your emotional experience with us. This is different than therapy (if you need more support, by all means, ask for it), this is you being ok with your human-ness and owning your emotions which lets us know those parts of us will not be rejected in your presence either.

Planning ahead based on what supports the needs of the relationship- remembering and continuing to honor the boundaries that have been set up to this point in the relationship really help women feel seen and cared for. Action Item: Pay attention to ways you can protect the relationship by not asking her (or you) to overstep previously set boundaries (i.e. if they value sleep, don’t plan things that make that difficult without checking in. Have a conversation about boundaries that need to be readjusted at this point in the connection)

Honor the ways men and women are different- learning how to honor her experience when she’s on her period Action Item: get curious about how her needs/desires change at different points of her cycle to get the best of her.
