In our final short-form episode of Season 1, we reflect on a powerful conversation with LaLaLaLetMeExplain about why men blame women.

This episode hit hard - from defensiveness and traditional gender roles to subtle misogyny and emotional growth, we dove into the uncomfortable truths that many men (myself included) are still unlearning.

The reflection episode is a reminder that blame keeps us stuck - but reflection can set us free.

Lastly - I hope you all loved Season 1 as much as we did. Thank you so much for all the support, it truly means the world. Stay tuned, because Season 2 is going to be even bigger!

Reflection Episode - Revisiting Love Bombing (with Sabrina Zohar)
This is a solo reflection on our most popular episode yet - the one with Sabrina Zohar on love bombing!

I wanted to go deeper into what came up for me after that chat. From my own experiences with coming on too strong, to what it really means when we mistake intensity for connection.

We talk about nervous system triggers, chasing fantasy over real intimacy, and why so many of us (my past self included) confuse love with validation.

If you’ve ever wondered why you rush in or fall fast - this one’s for you.

In this 10-minute reflection episode, I unpack my powerful conversation with resilience coach Josh Connolly on why so many men suppress their emotions in relationships.

I open up about my own struggles with emotional expression, childhood conditioning, and the pressure to be ‘strong.’

From somatic work to the role of men's groups, I explore how emotional honesty builds deeper connection and why vulnerability is the key to real intimacy.
