from The Adored Woman- Dating and relationship advice for women · host Naomie Thompson

Today on The Adored Woman, I’m joined by Dr. John Gray — author of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus — for a grounded, eye-opening conversation about why men and women so often miss each other… and how to come back into closeness without losing yourself.We revisit the classic Mars/Venus principles (like why men “go to their cave” and why women feel better when they can talk things through), and then we take it deeper into the biology behind it all — hormones, stress, connection, and what makes a woman feel safe.In this episode, we explore:Why saying, “we need to talk about the relationship” can spike a man into stress and shutdownThe difference between complaining and making a clean, feminine requestWhy over-giving can quietly flip the polarity and create a mother/son dynamicWhat successful, capable women need now to stay soft, open, and connectedHow to share feelings without blame so he can actually hear youDr. Gray’s simple daily tool to help you feel adored (and bring romance back fast)If you’re an accomplished woman who’s tired of feeling like the responsible one — managing, over-functioning, or doing relationships “the hard way” — this conversation will bring you back to what actually works to finally feel adored in the best relationship of your life.Get The FREE "9 Aspects Of The Adored Woman" training here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://naomiethompson.com/home#freetrainingNaomie still offers 1:1 coaching.
