Alison Armstrong: Healing Shame & Restoring Honor As Men | EP 31


Listen Later

Alison Armstrong is a sought after teacher, thought leader and the author of the best-selling books „Keys to the Kingdom“ & the „Queen's Code“.

For over three decades, she has been teaching and speaking about men, women, human behavior and relationships. Through her seminars, books, online programs and media contributions, she has been giving millions of people access to more fulfilling lives, loving relationships, stronger families and more productive organizations. By now, her philosophy and approach have been referenced and taught by many other authors, speakers, and therapists.

Alison's exploration of human behavior and relationships began in 1991 when she decided to study men in an effort to understand how she was, in her words “bringing out the worst in them,” with the hope of learning how to bring out the best.

Her success in understanding men naturally led her to study women's behavior as well, making vital connections between the two. As her work evolved over the decades, Alison now illuminates the human characteristics that shape the behavior of both men and women, regardless of gender, age, or upbringing.

She distinguishes the common human instincts hat often create conflict in relationships and communication, but also reveals how understanding these instincts can help us thrive in relationships.

In my conversation with Alison, we revisited the defining moment in her personal journey when she discovered that she was, quote-unquote, “a frog farmer,”.

This realization sparked an immense personal evolution, as she learned to bring out the best in men by recognizing how she was contributing to the difficulties in her personal relationships.

From there, we dove deep into how shame manifests itself in men, how they can find their way back to empowerment and forgiveness, and how to normalize their relationship with sexuality.

Throughout this exploration, Alison offered powerful insights, emphasizing that the capacity to feel shame is actually evidence of our sense of honor. She introduced a process she calls “Noble Forgiveness” to help men find restoration, providing a lens through which they can see themselves more clearly.

I believe that one of the greatest gifts I’ve received from Alison’s work is the release of the residual shame I carried for being a man and the discovery of the beauty within men and masculinity through the incredible ways she speaks about them. My hope is that you receive the same gift

Some key themes we explored:

  • Alison's personal journey of discovering how she was bringing out the worst in men
  • The defining moments that helped her reshape her view on men and she ended up bringing out the best in men
  • The difference between "caring" & "loving" for men
  • Men's relationship to shame & how it's created
  • Defining courage & honor as men
  • Healing shame & restoring our sense of wholeness through the process of "noble forgiveness"
  • Normalizing sexuality & redefining it as nourishment
  • And much more...
