Defeat Your Inner Critic, the Paradox of Choice, and Beating Bitterness

We know we’d like to step more fully into our masculinity in relationships. We, as men, inherently know that it makes for a much more rewarding and fulfilling partnership with the fairer sex. But what does it look like in practicality and application? My guest today is author and men’s coach, GS Youngblood. Today, we talk about why masculine leadership is a gift, how to evoke women to relax into their femininity, why a man’s job is to provide structure to a relationship and how to do it, how men should handle their emotions, and why, in relationships, it can be a good idea to address feelings first and facts later.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS (00:00) Episode Intro (00:52) Masculine Leadership in Relationships (10:59) Masculine Blueprint for Relationship Success (24:16) Navigating Masculine Leadership in Relationships (33:52) Navigating Selfishness and Assertiveness in Relationships (43:16) Embodying Presence in Relationships (53:15) Men's Bootcamp Program Discussion   Order of Man Merchandise.
