There's a story I shared with Melanie Curtin on her show Dear Men that stopped me cold when I first recognized it in myself. I was talking to a client who'd just spent six months chasing a woman who kept pulling away, and as he described his relentless efforts to "break through her walls," I...
Look, I get it. You've probably heard "do the work" thrown around so much it's starting to sound like spiritual bypassing bullshit. But here's why I had to break this down with Melanie on Dear Men: because the men in our community keep asking me what this actually means in practice, and frankly, most of...
Here's the paradox that traps so many conscious couples: the very personal growth work that makes you a better human being can quietly kill the erotic charge in your relationship. I got to explore this with Melanie Curtin and my wife Violet on the Dear Men podcast, diving into one of my favorite topics because...
When men tell me they're struggling with power in relationships, I know exactly what they mean because I've been there. That's why when Melanie Curtin invited me on Dear Men to explore this topic, I knew our community needed to hear this conversation. What made it even more valuable was having Violet join me, which...
I had a blast on Melanie's show talking about something that sounds so simple but is actually one of the most powerful practices a man can develop. Stillness. Not the fake, rigid kind where you're trying to hold it together, but the real, grounded presence that comes from actually being in your body and feeling...
I got to sit back on this podcast with Melanie and dig into something I love talking about, polarity and how it actually works in relationships. We covered a lot of ground, from the philosophy behind masculine and feminine energies to the super practical ways you can start using this in your relationship tonight. One...
I had one of those conversations recently that felt like two puzzle pieces clicking together. Melanie Curtin invited me onto her podcast Dear Men to respond to her "GuyTalk" episode, where she'd interviewed women about what they actually want from men in relationships. As I listened to their answers, I kept nodding because honestly, nothing...
There's this moment about halfway through my conversation with Melanie where I'm explaining how low testosterone doesn't just make you tired, it makes you want to disappear entirely, and I watch her face change as she connects the dots between stress, overwhelm, and what's happening hormonally in men's bodies. That's when I knew we were...
I had a conversation with Melanie Curtin on her podcast Dear Men about something pretty much every guy I work with deals with at some point: getting over an ex. And honestly, it brought up a lot for me thinking back on my own experiences with breakup pain. We talked about how guys often try...
There's a moment about halfway through my conversation with Melanie where she stops mid-sentence and says, "Wait, but what if the woman makes significantly more money than the man?" And suddenly this question that seemed straightforward, who pays on dates, cracked wide open into something much more complex. We both started laughing because we realized...
I realized something about a decade ago that totally shifted how I approached dating. I was exhausted, swiping through apps, going on dates I wasn't even excited about, just hoping something would work out. The problem wasn't the apps or the women, it was me. I had no idea what I actually wanted. That year...
I just wrapped up a conversation with Melanie Curtin on her show Dear Men, and we spent the whole hour digging into purpose. You know, the thing that keeps so many guys up at night. What I loved about this talk was getting real about the pressure men feel around purpose. There's this obsession, particularly...
