Did you grow up with a religious background? Then congrats, you likely experienced sexual shame! Perhaps you still do to this day. The truth is, it's deeply confusing to grow up having completely natural sexual urges, but be told you're bad or wrong for having them. In the words of the panelists: "For a long time I thought, 'What’s wrong with me? W…

"Needing space within a love relationship is crucial for maintaining my identity ... It’s not merely about taking a break; it’s about preserving a sense of self that can slowly wither in the absence of such space." So says one of our clients, eloquently speaking to the need and also the cost of not getting space when it's required. Here we discuss …

Does motherhood feel like one big overwhelming rushed day over and over again? There is never enough time, never enough hands, and always too many needs to serve around you.

What if you could read about the sex that affected someone so profoundly they were never the same? What if you wrote about the sex that changed you in that way? If you're turned on by audio porn, ASMR, or sexy stories (either reading them or them being read to you), you're not alone. While we seem to be fixated on men being obsessed with visual por…

Do you feel like your mom anxiety is just a problem with your mind? Like it’s just something that’s “wrong” with you or your motherhood? That you just need to fix how you respond, react, or think about the world around you to finally beat it. Or maybe you just need to pray more, to trust God more, and spend more time in your Bible.

Would you ever consider using a matchmaker? In a world of dating apps (and let's be real -- those are rough for a LOT of people!), not to mention a whole lotta ghosting, matchmaking is an appealing notion for many.

Here's a pattern we've noticed in a lot of the men we work with: They've never gone after the women they really wanted. As one man put it, "A lot of times the girls that I’ve attracted have come to me … and haven't been the most stable." For some men, these dating relationships have even turned into marriages -- without the man necessarily wanting …

Does it feel exiting for your woman to be fully open with you, feel deeply cherished, and want to f*** your brains out? Then you’re going to want to listen to this one. You’re likely familiar with polarity — that sacred dance between alpha & omega. It’s a potent force that shows up in dating, sex, love relationships, and beyond (and helps explain t…

If you want a thriving sex and relationship life, you'll benefit from knowing about polarity. Polarity, shorthand for the healthy dance between omega energy (aka feminine) and alpha energy (aka masculine), is both life-affirming and hot, whether it's in the context of dating or a long-term relationship. In man/woman relationships, when a man embodi…

As a client recently put it, where do you go to "scrimmage" with women? How and where do you practice relating, flirting, and connecting with the feminine?

When you were growing up, did you have a host of great role models when it came to how to be a good man? No, probably not. The vast majority of men with whom we work lacked solid role models for healthy masculinity, both at home and at school. This damaged their ability to succeed in dating, relationships, and sex, and led to a lot of suffering. Sc…

The ushering in of a new year always brings with it a fair amount of introspection and contemplation.

Ever been in a relationship where you felt like it started off GREAT, but over time it became really hard?

Bronnie Ware, a nurse who worked in palliative care, conducted a survey that became a best-selling book written in multiple languages: “The Top Five Regrets of the Dying.” She asked people who were in the last stage of their life what was the biggest regret of their life. People mentioned the types of things you might imagine: that they wished they…

Divorce is a complex and often sensitive topic. For many, there are questions of success and failure, grief and loss, as well as the question of what we’re role-modeling to our children. Questions can come up like, “Is it honoring of myself to stay in this relationship? Should I stay because I made a vow, even if it sacrifices my well-being? And if…

You sucked into the holiday crazy? Find that whole supposed peace and joy of the season feeling like a pipe dream? Holidays come with so much PRESSURE for us working moms.

To many women, the idea of setting, communicating, and reinforcing boundaries with family, friends, and dating or relationship partners is uncomfortable. And yet, the personal situations necessitating boundaries are equally uncomfortable. And if we’re being completely honest with ourselves, they can also feel dismissive and disrespectful. Especiall…

This episode is kinda edgy! Here we (a small group of women who are attracted to men) give you a peek behind the curtain in terms of what we really crave from the masculine. The thing we rarely outline so starkly. The truth is, many of us human beings limit ourselves when it comes to having it all. We think we can either have a job we like, or one …

There are many misconceptions and stereotypes about single, childfree women and the lifestyle we live: ~ We’re lonely. ~ We’re selfish. ~ We’re unhappy. ~ We’re afraid of commitment. ~ We don’t know what true love is. ~ We’ll die alone. There are many others, but one of the most frustrating is that we have the availability and capacity to support o…

Online dating can be hard! As a hetero man on the apps, you're statistically likely to get far fewer matches than a hetero woman. If you're on Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Coffee Meets Bagel, eHarmony, Match, MeetMindful, and/or OKCupid and you're not finding what you're looking for ... you're not alone. Dating apps can be crazy-making -- for real! That …

Perhaps you’ve had a falling out with a friend, family member, or significant other. The kind that ended the relationship. But you’re waiting for them to come back and explain or apologize for their words and actions. You’re waiting for some kind of closure on what happened. And I’m here to tell you that you don’t always get an explanation. You don…

How do depression & anxiety intersect with sex & dating? If you’re one of the millions of people who’ve experience anxiety, clinical depression, and/or dysthymia — low-grade, chronic depression — then you know how easy it is to spiral. When it comes to sex, dating, and relationships, it can feel daunting to even get started. Negative self-talk abou…

Cheating is both a sensitive and complex topic. It lies at the intersection of sexuality, betrayal, needs, wants, and power. Here we explore something we've noticed in our work: the correlation we’ve witnessed between the pattern of cheating, and not being in your power as a man. We go over both the experience of cheating as well as being cheated o…

"What should I do with my life?" It's a question most of us ask ourselves (sometimes on repeat!), and one many of us could use more guidance around. Knowing the answer matters for several reasons, and one is that it naturally generates polarity with a partner. In sex, dating, and relationships, you, as a man, will polarize women far more when you k…

I’ve noticed something on social media. When women talk about their marriages in a positive light – e.g., I love my husband; I’m dedicated to my marriage; he protects and provides for me; he covers and cares for me; He accepts me as I am; he’s the best thing that ever happened to me; etc. – there are always a lot of likes and positive comments on t…

Often as a Christian working mom it can seem like the motherhood anxiety is constant.

There’s an old saying that almost everyone has heard at one point or another, “It takes a village to raise a child.” What that means is what you and I already know – it’s not easy to raise a child on your own, and I dare say that few people would choose to do it alone if they had the choice of having a present and available partner. But even with a…

There’s a tendency amongst many dating coaches and relationship gurus to blame women for their single status. Their answer, of course, is that if single women would start doing this, if they would stop doing that, if they would change this, if they would improve that – in other words, if they would just fix this deficient thing about themselves – t…

One pattern we've often seen in our clients (and lived ourselves) is feeling like our partner needs us in order to feel OK. This can start to feel like a burden, especially if it's a constant pattern. The truth is, it is each partner’s responsibility to tend to their nervous systems and be able to regulate their emotions enough to be able to regula…

Ahhh, the conundrum: Your partner does something you don't like but you don't know how to say so, so you just let it ride (and resentment builds). Or there's something you do want from her ... but you don't know how to say it. This can also sound like, "How do I tell my partner I want something without seeming demanding?" or, "How do I share my nee…

We all have what I call a “thing” – something personal in our life that has served as the bain of our existence. It could be anything from a physical quality that we perceive to be unattractive to a life experience that we feel has ruined our life. But it’s typically something that makes us different. Something so distasteful to us – and typically …
