Have you ever caught yourself thinking:
“He’s just not man enough.”
This episode is for you.
Because underneath that thought is rarely a question of masculinity, it’s usually exhaustion, loneliness, resentment, and deeply unmet needs.
In this episode of Embracing Her, we unpack why so many women end up feeling like they’re carrying the emotional, practical, and relational weight of the relationship and why that dynamic can leave you feeling powerless, even when you’re doing everything.
We’ll explore:
Why “he’s not man enough” is often code for I feel unsupported
How over-functioning, controlling, and micro-managing slowly erode trust and attraction
Why shaming a man never inspires him to step up (and often does the opposite)
The difference between asking for change and abandoning yourself
What it actually looks like to communicate your needs without blame or shame
Why boundaries — especially your NO — are essential for safety, clarity, and self-trust
This is a conversation about agency, about moving from resentment and self-abandonment into clarity, self-responsibility, and empowered choice.
Because sometimes the work is learning how to invite someone to grow.
And sometimes the work is choosing yourself and walking away.
