“Relationships is a skill,” says Mat. It is common to feel this expectation to have all your relationships, whether romantic, familial, or professional, figured out. But, in reality, most of us don’t really have them all perfect. Relatable right? Mat explores the dynamics of relationships by discussing the spectrum of masculine and feminine energies. By disregarding past archetypes surrounding gender roles, he speaks to a contemporary definition of masculine and feminine energies. He discusses relationships analogous to a give-receive counterbalance system. Mat wholeheartedly believes in love as a phenomenon that starts with you and your relationship with yourself. Through an approach of self-awareness and presence, Mat, Doc Jen, and Dr. Dom dive into their individual experiences and how they have explored different aspects of the energy spectrum themselves.
