Ever caught yourself asking "What do women even bring to the table?" or heard women firing back with "What do men bring?" If you're asking either question, this episode is for you.

Faisal, Ari, and Chuck dive deep into the mindset behind these toxic questions — and more importantly, how to shift from scarcity thinking to abundance in relationships. They get brutally honest about their own dark periods: failed marriages, emotional hostage situations, trauma bonding, and the wounds that kept them stuck in victim mode.

Here's what we unpack:
The psychology behind "what do you bring to the table" thinking (spoiler: it's rooted in pain and immaturity) How unhealed wounds sabotage every relationship you enter Why most people enter relationships from deficit instead of wholeness

 The difference between being needy vs. being whole and self-sufficient What healthy women actually do bring: beauty, nurturing, social connection, aesthetic sense What conscious men bring: leadership, protection, direction, emotional stability The "garden metaphor" — how to tend your relationship instead of just taking from it

This isn't about gender wars or pickup artist nonsense. It's about doing the inner work so you can actually appreciate what others offer instead of keeping score like a wounded child.

Whether you're bitter from divorce, struggling in your current relationship, or single and cynical — this conversation will challenge you to look in the mirror first. Because until you heal your own wounds and show up whole, you'll keep attracting the same dysfunction.

Time to stop asking what others bring to the table and start asking what kind of person you're becoming.
