Ep. 35 - Why You Don’t Know What You Want

from Reclaiming the Gentle Man · host Dave Lishansky

Many men struggle to answer a deceptively simple question: What do you want?In this episode, we explore how so many of us were raised with the “energy of not” — taught who not to be, what not to want, and how to stay small, agreeable, and unoffending. Focusing on what we don’t want — to happen, to feel, to incite — shapes our relationships, erodes our agency, and leaves our partners feeling frustrated. This one is an invitation for you to see that not knowing what you want isn’t a failure — it’s the threshold to something deeper.Mentioned in this Episode:Join the next Letting Love In free workshop — on Ending Defensiveness: https://www.davelishansky.comReclaiming the Gentle Man — 21-Day Transformational Program (Waitlist Open)Sign up via the “Join Waitlist” button at https://www.davelishansky.com/waitlistMonthly Men’s Circles (Launching 2026)Details shared with RTGM participants first: https://www.davelishansky.com/waitlistMay simply asking the question begin to open up your next chapter.
