That's about emotions and feelings, two things men are scared to death because they're not used to talking about them." "Getting something is easy. Anybody can get something. Sustaining it is a different level of character. Multiplying is another different level of character." "We have to learn how to nourish the relationship, nourish the person, the partnership. And it takes consistency." "The reason why men won't talk about their feelings is because they're afraid of being judged. And the worst thing you can do is judge a man when he finally does open up." "If you want your man to open up, you've got to create a safe space. You've got to be the safest place on earth for him." "Being present, showing up with an open heart, and just being available for the people around you is the greatest gift you can give."
