The Young God

"Why be an egocentric feminist when you can be the divine feminine?" - Rodney

In the second installment of the Fear Women franchise, Rodney holds up a mirror to the modern woman—the woman of the social media age. He argues that their biggest opp is not misogyny or patriarchy... but egocentrism -- a distorted lens where you make womanhood the center of everything. Reality begs to differ.

Rodney also points out that social media has eroded the PR and mystique women have benefitted from throughout history. Rodney does not hold back. He concludes the episode by offering the antidote to feminist egocentrism. Brace yourself... And have a happy Women's Day, young goddesses!

"The most razz thing you can do is act like you’re too cool to catch feelings--to fall for someone--to be loved... Allow someone to love you, my sister, you're not an oracle!" - Rodney

In the finale of the Lovers Series, Rodney pens yet another love letter. This time, addressed to those who refuse love -- those without love -- who undervalue love, romance, and companionship.

Rodney gets critical about how certain people self-sabotage their love lives and then try to justify their loneliness. He holds non-lovers accountable for how they approach their love lives and throws all the stones from his penthouse.

He singles out radical feminism for warping young women's expectations of love and relationships. He also explores the mental illness of being "happy single". Finally, he offers hope and support to those who don't know how to get out of their own way -- and heads-- to build the love life they desire and deserve.

"Are you connected to your partner or are you merely attached to them?" - Rodney

Episode 3 of The Young God's Lover's Series is about how our relationship to loneliness affects the quality of our romantic relationships. Rodney states that 1-in-10 couples are actually enjoying their relationship. In order to make sense of that totally made-up stat, he opens the pandora's box of his unpopular opinions about loneliness, dating, romance, intimacy, sex, situationships, and the mindset that 'cockblocks' true connection from taking place.

Once again, Rodney pulls back the curtain of his legendary love life to show how it's done. Use this episode to measure the quality of your relationship and to learn the mindset that enables romance.

“Who is more foolish— the child afraid of the dark or the man afraid of the light?”

This is an episode about how unresolved feelings in childhood affect our adulthood experience.

Why do you think this generation of adults hate adulting?

People look normal but they’re running from the trauma of their childhood while also avoiding the responsibilities of adulthood. They’re stuck in a weird limbo. And this all has to do with their relationship with their inner child — the child they once were. Your inner child is very real and critical to everything about you.

Rodney goes to great lengths to make his point -- using psychology, analogies, metaphors and scripture. He explores the difference between a dead or alive inner child. He explores how different generations deal with their inner child wounds. He describes how childhood trauma becomes adulthood drama.

And finally, he shares techniques for nurturing, healing, and reconnecting with the inner child.
