#20 | What Our Instincts Tell Us w/ your host Anya Shakh

In this episode, Anya brings to light the the top instincts men and women have when it comes to selecting a mate and/or being attracted to the opposite sex. Many times, popular culture tries to deny the biological urges that we’ve inherited from our hunter and gatherer ancestors but they are alive and well. Anya brings forth recent data to illuminate what’s really going in on the hormones of men and women in order to help people integrate their animal aspects with their greater and much more expansive spiritual side. When we can lay our instincts out on the table and learn to accept and even love them, we can stop getting stuck in the tension that misunderstood instincts brings to men and women. Once we make peace with them, we come closer to the harmony and union that most men and women deeply desire. Anya touches on the terms hypergamy and misogyny in addition to sharing the results from one of the most popular studies in sex differences done by Evolutionary Psychologist, David Buss, called the 37 cultures study.Upon listening to this quick little episode, Anya’s intention is for masculine men and feminine women to let out one big sigh of relief.
