If you’re tired of attracting men who ghost, collapse, or manipulate, this episode is for you. I’m exposing the 4 shadow states of the wounded masculine — and giving you a simple tool to spot them early, so you never waste another year on the wrong man.

Because the truth is: you don’t have time to waste on boys in costumes. You’re craving a King — a man who is present, devoted, and ready to love you deeply. And once you know what to look for (and what to walk away from), your entire love life shifts.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • The 4 toxic masculine archetypes to avoid at all costs.

  • How to tell the difference between wounded masculine energy vs. healthy masculine leadership.

  • A simple 3-step tool to quickly discern whether a man is aligned with the love you desire.

  • Why your nervous system keeps normalizing dysfunction — and how to rewire it to attract devotion.

  • The #1 shift you need to make to stop chasing chaos and start magnetizing Kings.
