When Trust Feels Scary: How to Create Safety, Passion & Partnership with Shana James | 224
Description
Trust can feel thrilling—and terrifying. How do you feel safe enough to be seen, set boundaries with love, and keep passion alive without losing yourself? Especially after 40?
In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP®, APMA®, CRPC®, is joined by Shana James, MA (Psychology)—relationship coach of 20 years, TEDx speaker (“What 1,000 Men's Tears Reveal…”), host of Man Alive & Practicing Love, and author of Honest Sex and Power & Pleasure.
