For The Love Of Men Podcast

We all want to feel more confident, but confidence isn’t something you can always think your way into. You can tell yourself you’re confident, repeat affirmations, and work on your mindset, but at some point, you have to actually do the thing that makes you uncomfortable.We discuss: Why confidence is something you build through experience, not something you simply convince yourself to feel.How doing the things that make you nervous gives your brain new evidence that you can actually handle them.Why discomfort doesn’t always mean something is wrong, and how unfamiliarity can sometimes feel like danger in your body.How starting smaller than you think you “should” can help you build self-trust instead of constantly pushing yourself beyond what you can hold.What dating, intimacy, eye contact, dance classes, and other vulnerable experiences can teach us about staying open when our instinct is to retreat.Why celebrating yourself for showing up, even when you fumble or things don’t go well, is such an important part of becoming someone you can trust.Want to work with Bri and/or Courtney?Connect with Bri on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @buildingbricoaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Courtney on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@courtney_schand⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the show on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @thefortheloveofmenpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.fortheloveofmenpodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Looking for deeper support?Check out our Masterclasses:1️⃣ What Your Woman Wants Emotionally And How to Provide It: Unlock the secrets to fulfilling your partner emotionally!

What does healthy masculine leadership actually look like in a modern relationship? Especially when the woman you’re with is already independent, capable, and used to making her own decisions? In this episode, we’re joined by men’s coach and author GS Youngblood to talk about the kind of masculinity that doesn’t require a man to dominate or a woman to make herself smaller. GS walks us through his Masculine Blueprint and what it looks like for men and women to bring their strengths into a relationship without constantly fighting over who gets to lead.In This Episode, We Discuss:The three parts of GS’s Masculine Blueprint: responding instead of reacting, providing structure, and creating safety.Why groundedness can completely change the way a woman experiences a man, and how one person’s nervous system can affect the other.What masculine leadership can look like without slipping into control, including GS’s idea of bringing “clarity plus inclusion” into a relationship.Why emotional safety matters so much for connection and intimacy, and what can happen when a woman repeatedly feels unheard or emotionally unsupported.Why curiosity is such an underrated relationship skill and how asking better questions can help someone feel genuinely known instead of turning a date into an interview.How men can better support capable women by sharing the mental load and joining them in the thinking and decision-making, not simply waiting to be told what needs to be done.What healthy repair can look like after an argument, including why GS encourages men to “go back into the burning building” instead of hoping the conflict will simply blow over.  Connect with GS YoungbloodWebsite: https://www.gsyoungblood.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gsyoungbloodmir/ Want to work with Bri and/or Courtney?Connect with Bri on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @buildingbricoaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Courtney on Instagram:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@courtney_schand⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the show on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @thefortheloveofmenpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.fortheloveofmenpodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Looking for deeper support?Check out our Masterclasses:1️⃣ What Your Woman Wants Emotionally And How to Provide It: Unlock the secrets to fulfilling your partner emotionally!

“I just want to meet someone naturally.” We hear this from women all the time. At the coffee shop, the gym, a friend’s party, somewhere out in the real world instead of another dating app. But meeting someone organically still requires us to give people a reason to feel like it’s okay to come over and say hello. In This Episode, We Discuss:The simple “green lights” that can make it easier for someone to approach you, including eye contact, smiling, and open body language.Why eye contact can feel so uncomfortable when you’re afraid of rejection or simply not used to letting yourself be seen.How to enjoy a conversation for what it is instead of immediately wondering where it’s going or whether this person could be “the one.”How past experiences with men can quietly affect the energy you bring into new interactions, even when you genuinely want to be open to someone new.Why being vulnerable doesn’t mean telling someone everything right away, and how to slowly learn whether someone is safe enough to let in.What can change when you stop assuming that dating will go badly and allow new experiences to challenge some of the beliefs you’ve built from the past.  In this episode, we talk about approachability and the small things that can make a much bigger difference than we realize. We get into eye contact, body language, being willing to be seen, and what may be happening underneath when we want connection but still find ourselves bracing against it.Want to work with Bri and/or Courtney?Connect with Bri on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠ @buildingbricoaching⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Courtney on Instagram:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@courtney_schand⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the show on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠ @thefortheloveofmenpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our website:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.fortheloveofmenpodcast.com⁠⁠⁠Looking for deeper support?Check out our Masterclasses:1️⃣ What Your Woman Wants Emotionally And How to Provide It: Unlock the secrets to fulfilling your partner emotionally!

In this episode, we unpack five popular dating and feminine energy teachings that can sound empowering on the surface but may create very different results in practice. We talk about princess treatment, the “sprinkle sprinkle” mindset, rotational dating, and the difference between protecting yourself and actually being open to a healthy partnership.We discuss: Why “he should do everything for me” can sometimes come from hurt and overgiving rather than healthy feminine energy.What healthy men actually want in return when they’re investing in a woman, and why emotional depth and reciprocity matter.Why focusing too heavily on a man’s ability to provide financially can leave out the emotional connection, intimacy, and closeness we actually want.How rotational dating can keep us focused on being good at dating instead of building the skills needed for a secure, long-term relationship.The difference between maintaining our independence and making enough room in our lives to actually build an interdependent partnership with someone.  We’re not saying feminine energy, being provided for, or receiving from a man are bad things. The bigger question throughout this conversation is: What are we optimizing for? Because if what we truly want is a healthy, secure relationship, the dating strategies we use need to help us build toward that relationship, not just help us feel successful while dating.#DatingAdvice #FeminineEnergy #HealthyRelationships #ModernDating #RelationshipAdvice #HealthyMasculinity #SecureRelationships #DatingMindset #EmotionalIntimacy #RelationshipSkills #SecureAttachment #IntentionalDating #Interdependence #ForTheLoveOfMenPodcastWant to work with Bri and/or Courtney?Connect with Bri on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠ @buildingbricoaching⁠⁠⁠Connect with Courtney on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@courtney_schand⁠⁠⁠Follow the show on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠ @thefortheloveofmenpodcast⁠⁠⁠Check out our website:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.fortheloveofmenpodcast.com⁠⁠⁠Looking for deeper support?Check out our Masterclasses:1️⃣ What Your Woman Wants Emotionally And How to Provide It: Unlock the secrets to fulfilling your partner emotionally!

There’s a lot we’re never really taught about how a woman’s body changes as she gets older. So when those changes start happening, it can be easy to wonder, Is this normal? Is something wrong? And what does this mean for my relationship?   What perimenopause can actually look like and some of the changes women might not expect. What really happens to libido and sexuality as women get older. How men can support the women they love through this transition without feeling like they have to fix everything. Why both partners need their own support and space as the relationship begins to change. The simple check-ins and conversations that can help couples stay close through a changing season.   Shannon Hamaker is back with us to talk about the different seasons of a woman’s life, particularly the transition into perimenopause and menopause. We get into the changes women may start noticing, what happens with sex and desire, and how both partners can navigate this season without turning against each other.In This Episode, We Talk About:We also talk about something that doesn’t get said enough: this stage of life isn’t necessarily the beginning of losing something. For many women, it can be a time of knowing themselves better, caring less about what everyone else thinks, and discovering a different kind of confidence, pleasure, and connection.
