First off, I want to acknowledge my lack of consistency with releasing episodes this summer. That's not my intention but I've also been embracing a different routine with open hands. Perhaps it would be best to say I'll be releasing future episodes periodically with the hope of getting back to every other week in the coming months. I appreciate you and if you've been following along, thanks for your patience with my rhythm.

In this episode I talk about one of the biggest problems in relationship - constantly taking on a defensive posture. The reality is, many couples get stuck in battle mode no matter what, when, or how your partner says something to you, even when it's truly not about you, this results in a defensive posture. When we learn to develop a mindful approach we begin to see that a curious and genuine question to seek understanding and clarification is a quick way to diffuse the tension. Listen along as I describe more about this dynamic and share some skillful ways to change defensiveness to curiosity.

There are all sorts of issues and problems we face in relationships - communication shortcomings, over crossed boundaries, rebuilding trust, resolving conflict, increasing intimacy, and many more. For all of these issues there are countless solutions we can use to try and improve in these areas.

One skill I find to be most impactful is the practice of Mindfulness.

In this episode I talk about what mindfulness is and how to start a simple mindfulness practice. The reason I find mindfulness so helpful is because it is accessible by anyone and anywhere - you don't need a coach or counselor or guru to teach you how to do it.

Anger, what a daunting emotion to understand and get to know within us. We all have anger within us, we all have things that activate this emotion on a regular basis - often times a daily basis. Sometimes anger gets the best of us and it's hard to control how we let our anger out and then it comes out in hurtful, destructive, or harmful ways.

In this episode I want to share with you a framework to understand anger and how to more effectively deal with this emotion. I talk about consuming anger, childhood modeling and how it affects our relationship with anger, learning to embrace the anger part within you, and desiring connection

In many of the relationships I work there is often a man who is struggling significantly with identity, purpose, and life satisfaction. Now, just because the title of this episode is geared for men, what I want to share I believe can be helpful for anyone who has a man in their life - whether it be a romantic partner, a family member, friend, or colleague.

I find that many men struggle with what it means to be a man, especially in a romantic relationship. The unfortunate reality is, there is a lot of junk out there when it comes to advice for men. Many of the tips fall into what I call toxic masculinity. I usually like to talk about what to do instead of what not to do but with this topic I think it will hit home harder by talking about three of the most toxic traits men can possess - always needing to be right, never taking advice from your pattern, and believing sex is on demand.
