#88 | The Truth About Dad & Mom Issues

Tell me what your relationship is like with the opposite sex and I’ll tell you what your relationship was like with your mom (man) or dad (woman).This episode is a more vulnerable look at the masculine and feminine wounds in our lives including bits of my own story. The truth is that while difficulties with the opposite sex are universal, why we experience them is highly individual. I get into the spectrum of wounds we carry and how we create the protective stories we do in order to survive. The range is from emotional obsession and people pleasing all the way to cold detachment and resentment.Compassion is what we need to heal the divide between men and women, but compassion can’t exist when our pain runs the show. Listen in to hear personal stories, generational patterns, and some subtle ways both men and women carry unmet needs which result in inner turmoil throughout the duration of their lives.Timestamps:00:00 - 01:14 Episode Trailer and Intro01:14 - 02:21 Individual vs collective anger02:21 - 05:14 How it feels to advertise a product you don't believe in05:14 - 06:36 Men care more about pets than partners?06:36 - 08:08 Why are men so lonely today?08:08 - 10:52 Why do I care so much about healing male and female relationships?10:52 - 13:16 How my dates went before I actually healed 13:16 - 15:43 Daddy issues Mommy issues15:43 - 17:50 Why it's harder to spot wounds from moms than those from dads17:50 - 21:51 What breeds 'nice guys' and 'macho males'21:51 - 23:35 This is why you always date emotionally unavailable people23:35 - 24:15 'Nice guys' vs 'Cool girls'24:15 - 26:24 Does animosity between the two sexes work?26:24 - 28:20 Mens’ vs Womens’ purpose28:20 - 29:50 Final thoughts and key takeaways29:50 - 30:28 Outro____________________________________________If you found some value today then help me spread the word!
