Do you feel stuck in a chaser-runner dynamic? Do you identify with labels like Avoidant or Anxiously Attached? Do you always feel like you need more and more from your partners, or always end up feeling smothered?

In this episode, I talk about an issue I see in the popular "attachment styles", and offer some alternative understanding as well as a way out: seeing a bit of the "other side" in yourself too.

In this episode, I continue the conversation from the previous one (Be A Man) in a more casual way.

I talk about what I think people mean when they say they like "manly men" and "feminine women", how I think that affects our attraction, and why I think we can all benefit from embracing our "feminine" and "masculine" traits.

"Be a man", they say. But what does it even mean? What do we want when we say "be a man"? What do women mean when they say they like "manly men"? What is manly? What is masculinity and femininity?

In this episode, I set on a bold and risky mission of defining what masculinity and femininity mean to me. I talk about immaturity vs maturity, about Yin and Yang, and about the difference between femininity/masculinity as concepts and female/male as biological genders.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where I'll tackle desire and what I think men and women are looking for or afraid of when they want to be more masculine/feminine.

I realized that dancing (as a theme, and later as an activity) has accompanied me since my teenage years on my journey through jealousy.

From admitting my own embarrassing past, to quoting Esther Perel, learning to swing dance, and coming out on the other side feeling readier than ever to tackle relationships... this one's quite a personal episode!

Come listen to the big lessons I've learned on possessiveness, separateness and enjoying life - all inspired by my social dancing experiences.

In this episode, I respond to a listener's message about being broken up with because he did not share his partner's religious faith. I talk about how we can focus on finding compatibility beyond just whether we like the other person, and share some steps on how to prevent getting attached to the wrong people.

In today's episode: I dive into some of my thoughts about how we communicate in relationships, tell a little about my experiences with it, and share some ideas of how we can improve it.

In this episode full of first time jitters, ums, ahs, and explaining myself, I introduce you to the podcast and share my current struggle with being brave (enough to share this)
