For The Love Of Men Podcast

When a woman allows herself to be vulnerable with a man who responds with safety and acceptance, it creates a new energetic blueprint in her nervous system of what a healthy connection feels like. In this episode, we break down the top fears women carry into a first date, show you how to reclaim your body's wisdom, and give men simple, real-world moves to create genuine safety and openness.We talk about how:- Bracing for disappointment creates a contracted energy where women constantly look for signs he'll let them down- This defensive posture prevents women from seeing good men clearly and blocks the natural flow of feminine energy- Fear of abandonment causes women to hold back vulnerable parts of themselves, paradoxically guaranteeing the rejection they fear- The fear of objectification makes women feel dehumanized- Both men and women need to heal their perceptions of the collective masculine/feminineGrab our new merch (“Going to Therapy Makes You Hotter” tees & crewnecks): ⁠https://tr.ee/3yrykFuqEv⁠Want 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.com⁠

If you've ever said, “I just get along better with guys,” this one's for you.In this episode, we're unpacking the sister wound. That deep, often unspoken discomfort some women feel when it comes to female friendships. This wound often shows up as subtle competition, betrayal, comparison, or that feeling of walking on eggshells with other women, and we're unpacking all of it! This one's mainly for the girls, but if you're a guy tuning in, don't skip it. You'll get a deeper understanding of how women experience connection, why some pull away from closeness, and how that shows up in relationships. We'll be diving into the brother wound next, so this lays the foundation perfectly.In a nutshell, we talk about:Why some female friendships feel unsafe and how to change thatHow “I just get along better with men” is often a defense mechanismWhat to do when a friend copies you but never gives creditThe hidden cost of being the “cool girl” in male spacesWhat healthy, nourishing female friendships actually look likeHow your relationship with women reflects your relationship with your own feminine energyWhy healing the sister wound helps you become emotionally available in loveEpisode Mentioned: #5 Understanding Wounded Feminine Energy VS Healthy Feminine EnergyShop our Merch: https://tr.ee/3yrykFuqEvWant 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.com⁠

For most men, this stuff isn't obvious. And we get it; you are not a mind reader. When she says something random like “Kiwis are on sale,” you're not thinking, “Ah yes, a hidden test of my emotional availability.” You're thinking, “…Cool? Do we need kiwis?” And paying for dates? Yeah, you've probably heard a million opinions: “It's 2024, who cares?” or “Real men always pay.” But here's the truth: It's not about the money. It's about what it does for her.In this episode, we break down:What a "bid for connection" really is (hint: her random comments such as “Look at that weird cloud” aren't small talk)How missed bids create distanceThe psychology behind why covering the date (especially early on) changes how she sees you.Women notice everything. The way you handle these moments decides whether she sees you as just another date or someone worth investing in.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.com⁠

Every woman's love language is not having to ask at all—especially if she's the kind who's used to doing everything herself. You know her: the high-achiever, the over-giver, the woman who'd rather silently carry the weight than “burden” someone with her needs. But this isn't about mind-reading—it's about attunement. If you've ever wanted to make her feel truly seen and safe—without her spelling it out—tune in and learn how to turn “I've got you” into a feeling, not just words.We talk about:- Why “not having to ask” brings out her feminine energy- How single-word texts (yes, especially with periods) can accidentally trigger her nervous system- Why sensuality (not just sexuality) is the secret sauce to deepening polarity(P.S. If you've ever sent a text that just said “K.” and wondered why things got icy… yeah, we're covering that too.)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.com⁠

This episode is written with men in mind.  The dating landscape has changed. We can all feel the shift and yet it's our intention with this episode to move the conversation forward collaboratively by offering some perspectives that the Masculine and Feminine both benefit from.  This is a unique opportunity for those who want to create a way forward that is mutually beneficial to steer the collective conversations we're having. This is why we wanted to weigh in, as women who love men, on the perspectives we hear from both men and women and how we can move toward healthier relating, together.

We talked about some signs his Feminine Energy may be leading in dates in Episode #79. This often accompanies her Masculine Energy, creating a flip in polarity.  This will show up as the classic interview-style dating, making it “easy” for him (i.e. doing the planning, logistics, and leading the conversation), and not letting yourself “need” him (we see you, we love you hyper-independent woman).  In this episode, we dive into why this doesn't build healthy chemistry so you can understand why embodying more Feminine Energy is key to making dating more fun, “productive” and mutually satisfying.  Want to work with Bri and/or Courtney?

In this episode, we are talking about ways to reignite that playful spark by easing the pressure around play and respecting each other's energetic boundaries.  Key takeaways include:- Why she's not playful, and what to do instead to create more playfulness- What it feels like feels like to be playful (the vulnerabilities that she may be experiencing)- How to get your masculine partner to open up  Want to work with Bri and/or Courtney?

Regardless of your decision, it's essential for the decision to align with your true self, not just societal expectations or fear of being alone. Often, your gut feelings know what's best for you, even when your mind is confused. It takes bravery to either commit to improving a relationship or walking away and one is not more "empowered" than another as long as it feels aligned for you.

In this episode, we delve into the nuances of societial influences on our understanding of sexuality. We unravel how men and women have been uniquely socialized to experience their desires, identities, and relationship, especially as it relates to sexual expression. Join us as we shed light on these dynamics, aiming to empower everyone to embrace their authentic selves and foster healthier, more fulfilling connections (whether you're single, coupled, or looking for a partner). It's time to challenge what you have known, and ignite conversations that inspire positive changes so you can bring a sense of inner security to the parts of you that feel most vulnerable being seen.  Want more from Courtney?

Sexuality is deeply personal and feeling empowered communicating what you need/want in your dating experience will help you and your (potential) partner feel safe and confident in your vulnerability. We had a listener write in looking for advice on how to communicate their boundaries about sex early in the dating timeline... You know we couldn't resist an empowering reframe. We hope this is helpful as you discern your own boundaries as it relates to sex.  Want more from Courtney?
