Inside The Queen’s Code and Understanding Men with Alison Armstrong

Tony and Brent sit down with legendary author and relationship educator Alison Armstrong—creator of The Queen’s Code and Understanding Men—for a raw, hilarious, and deeply insightful conversation on how men and women relate (and often misrelate). From emotional safety to appreciation, from how women unknowingly disempower men to the oxytocin-fueled rollercoaster of texting, this episode dives deep. It opens with a playful game of “What Would a Queen Do?” and closes with Alison sharing the life mission that’s fueled her work for over three decades. Whether you're single, dating, married, or just trying to communicate better, Alison delivers one revelation after another—with humor, clarity, and a grounded wisdom that feels like talking to an old friend. Hands down, one of the most powerful episodes we’ve ever recorded.
