This week I sat down with one of my heroes and spiritual fathers, Danny Silk. If you've read The Way of the Dragon Slayer or attended one of our conferences, you know Danny carries deep wisdom in marriage, leadership, and communication. This episode is part of our Lead the Way series, where we're equipping men to become the husbands their families need.I shared a story about moose hunting in Alaska where, after shooting a bull moose at five yards with just a bow and no backup, I realized something wild: that moment was less terrifying than facing my wife's emotions. Danny and I talked about how many of us men would rather face literal danger than emotional vulnerability with our wives. But if we want deep connection, we've got to face the internal battles—triggers, fear of rejection, and the desire to control.Danny explained that one of the first steps to emotional leadership is abandoning the lie that we can control our wives. The real power lies in controlling ourselves. In hard conversations, the goal isn't to fix or judge her—it's to share about me. To say, “I felt [emotion] when [fact], and I need [emotionally honest need].” That level of vulnerability opens the door to connection. But if we come in swinging judgments, all we get back is defensiveness.We talked about how staying emotionally present in conflict creates flexibility in a relationship. That's the opposite of rigidity and fragility. The more tools and reps you have—soft start-ups, healthy boundaries, staying in the pocket—the more resilient your marriage becomes.And if you want to win a fight, remember: if you “win” by controlling or punishing her, you've already lost. The real win is connection. The kind of connection where both people feel seen, heard, and safe. That's our job as husbands—to open the door emotionally, spiritually, and physically. To bring peace into chaos. To make sure our wives never have to carry the masculine load alone.Every man should learn this—because it's not your fault if you never saw it done right, but it is your responsibility now.And that's what this series is about: giving you the tools, reps, and mindset to sharpen your emotional leadership like a blade. Once you learn this skill, you'll never forget it—and you'll use it every single day.Thanks again to Danny for pouring into us. If this episode helped you, send it to a friend. And remember—stay brave.Book: https://a.co/d/6jewg37Connect with Danny: https://www.lovingonpurpose.com/0:00 – Introduction & Free Course Offer1:15 – Why You Need a Community5:10 – Unpacking the Moose Hunting Story7:45 – Facing Emotions vs Facing Danger10:20 – The Lie of Control in Relationships12:55 – “Here's How I Felt…” Communication Structure15:40 – Setting Healthy Boundaries18:05 – Soft‑Start Conversations & De‑Escalation21:30 – Sharpening Your Emotional ToolsetABOUT BRAVECOWe live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.

Have you ever asked yourself: "My wife calls me 'nice,' but why does it feel like a subtle insult?" "Why am I constantly chasing connection, and how do I stop walking on eggshells?" "What does it really mean to lead in my marriage without being controlling?" If you've ever felt like, "I don't even know what happened—she just drifted," this episode is your wake-up call to reclaiming your magnetic masculine presence. Welcome back to The Dad Edge Podcast. This is Week 3 of our 4-part solo series called The Magnetic Masculinity Series—where we're unpacking how to attract your wife back, not through tactics, but by becoming the man she's instinctively drawn to again. In Week 1, we talked about resentment—how it leaks into marriage when we ignore the signs. In Week 2, we revealed the emotional weight she's carrying—the invisible labor that most men never see. And now in Week 3, we're diving into the Masculine Pull: what it truly means to lead with strength, not submission. Because here's the truth: she doesn't want a man who obeys. She wants a man she can trust to lead—not control, not dominate—but lead with clarity, strength, and grounded presence.  Extraordinary marriages start here In this vital episode, we dig into: The Critical Difference Between Pleasing and Pursuing: Understanding why pleasing is approval-seeking and kills attraction, while pursuing is confident, directional, and inviting. Masculine Presence vs. Anxious Attachment: Learn to cultivate a calm, grounded energy that can handle her emotions without needing to fix them, creating safety and desire, rather than asking "Are we okay?" every time she's quiet. Rebuilding Polarity: Why Attraction Dies When Roles Blur: Discover how the charge between masculine and feminine energy gets lost when roles become indistinguishable, and why becoming more stable (not more emotional) is the key to reigniting that spark. This conversation offers the blueprint for becoming the magnetic man your wife is drawn to, leading with a quiet consistency that speaks louder than words. Here's what research and relationship dynamics highlight: Studies suggest that relationships lacking clear polarity or directional leadership often report a 30% decrease in passionate intimacy over time. Men who embody calm, grounded presence are perceived as 40% more attractive and trustworthy by their partners. When a man consistently takes initiative with empathy, couples report a 25% increase in feelings of partnership and mutual respect. www.thedadedge.com/friday213 www.thedadedge.com/mastermind Intimate conversation starters

Dr. Reedy defines and discusses what makes for emotional safety. He talks about how emotional safety heals us and how repeated exposure to an emotional safe person changes our nervous system permanently. He explains that when the “big people” from our childhood were unable to sit with us and our feelings, we learned to hide and protect ourselves… and these efforts to protect ourselves become our mental illnesses.

Whether you're a parent, teacher, or simply someone healing from childhood emotional trauma, this conversation opens the door to creating emotional safety and offering a safe space for kids to fully express who they are.

Why does my wife say I'm not being vulnerable—even when I'm doing my best to be honest?Why does it feel like every time I open up, it backfires?In Part 3 of this deeply practical series, we break down the misunderstood idea of vulnerability—but in man talk. Using the metaphor of building a bridge, Maurice reveals how to create emotional safety by treating communication like an engineering project: sharing accurate, useful information to strengthen trust—not just confessing weakness or oversharing emotion.You'll learn:The male definition of vulnerability (and why women still say it's not enough)Why sharing emotionally charged details isn't always real transparencyThe difference between gaslighting and engineering-level communicationWhy emotional safety requires independent stability—not constant reactionHow to know if your wife is still too unstable for certain conversations (and how to proceed without making things worse)If you feel like you can't say anything without upsetting her—or if she's accusing you of being unsafe when you're just trying to function—this episode is your blueprint for navigating the chaos.Want to read more about this topic? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lifechangingservices.org/your-brain-works-like-a-presidential-cabinet/Rather Watch Something? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot_wqKwviwk&t=1sCheck out Life Changing Services: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lifechangingservices.org/

In this powerful episode, attachment expert Jessica Baum joins Adam Lane Smith to unpack one of the most essential yet misunderstood pillars of a healthy relationship: emotional safety. Together, they explore why safety isn't just a “nice to have” in love, but a biological and psychological necessity that shapes the way we connect, heal, and grow. Whether you've struggled with abandonment wounds, anxious or avoidant patterns, or felt unseen in your relationships, this conversation offers deep clarity and actionable insights. Topics Covered:

If you've ever found yourself holding back in conversation, choosing your words carefully, scanning the other person's face, or thinking three steps ahead just to avoid conflict, you're not alone. Emotional honesty isn't something we magically access. It's something that grows in the presence of safety. In this episode, we're exploring how emotional safety impacts your ability to be authentic in real time—and why you can't build connection in relationships where conversations feel like landmines. We'll talk about the difference between environments where your truth is welcomed, and the ones where it's quietly shut down. You'll learn what to look for when testing emotional safety, how to practice small moments of truth-telling without overwhelm, and why the healthiest people in your life don't just put up with your emotions—they make space for them. This episode is for anyone who's tired of performing and ready to start showing up more fully and honestly.   Three Takeaways 1.     You can't be emotionally honest in relationships where you're always bracing for impact. 2.     Emotional safety isn't about being coddled - it's about knowing your truth won't cost you connection. 3.     Practicing honesty in safe relationships rewires your nervous system and helps you reclaim your voice.   That's what safe belonging does. When honesty feels  like a risk, what you're in isn't connection— it's survival mode.     Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

Welcome to episode 100! Today, we will be discussing Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria—its prevalence among neurodivergent individuals and how it has manifested in my own experience as an autistic person. Often, it is the accumulation of seemingly minor rejections that leads to burnout, particularly when navigating ambiguous social norms and the challenge of belonging. If you can relate to this experience, know that you are not alone. In this episode, we will explore the importance of self-compassion, emotional safety, and strategies for cultivating a more fulfilling and joyful life. Let's dive in.  In this episode: What is Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD). Accumulation over time – how small, seemingly insignificant experiences of rejection can build, eventually leading to overwhelm or even burnout.

If we want to increase the intimacy and connection in our relationships, it is imperative that we show up as a safe person who creates a safe space. Often, the patterns we have established in our relationships are the opposite of safe, they cause our primitive brains to go into hyper protective mode and want to run away emotionally and physically. But when we can learn to show up safe, time and time again, we can create a space where our spouse may be willing to start engaging in vulnerability, in the openness and honesty necessary to deepen our engagement.

Zach and Desirae Ysasi pick up where they left off—diving deep into the intersections of race, identity, privilege, and emotional intimacy in relationships and therapy spaces. What unfolds is a profoundly honest and vulnerable conversation about belonging, the emotional labor of marginalized people, and what it means to truly listen and connect across differences. Desirae shares how her lived experience as a Mexican-American woman shapes her approach to relationships, while Zach opens up about grappling with his identity as a white man raised with privilege. The episode becomes a model of real-time learning and mutual respect, grounded in curiosity and humility. This is more than just a conversation about culture—it's about how we show up for each other with compassion, honesty, and a willingness to grow. Key Takeaways  Curiosity Over CertaintyZach and Desirae reflect on the importance of asking questions to understand, not to correct. True connection comes from being willing to sit in uncertainty and learn from others' lived experiences.  Self-Esteem as a Spiritual ConceptDesirae explains that healthy intimacy requires healthy self-esteem—and for many marginalized people, self-worth must be cultivated not from the culture around them, but from a deep spiritual sense of belonging and worthiness.  Therapists are Still Learning, TooZach shares a story about unintentionally alienating a client and asks how to be better. Desirae responds with grace and clarity.  Navigating Marriage in a Marginalized BodyDesirae speaks powerfully about what it means to build intimacy in a world that has long devalued your body, identity, and culture. Even with all the right tools, trauma and oppression create layers that take time and care to unwind.

The power to feel emotionally safe, even when life feels uncertain, might be the greatest gift you can give yourself after divorce. But our brains make this challenging in ways you might not realize.  Have you ever wondered why leaving an unhappy marriage feels so terrifying, even when you know it's the right choice? The answer lies in how your brain processes certainty versus uncertainty. Your amygdala—the primitive part of your brain responsible for survival—doesn't distinguish between physical threats and emotional ones. When divorce disrupts your predictable patterns, your brain interprets this uncertainty as danger, triggering fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses that can leave you feeling constantly anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck.  What's fascinating is how we can mistake familiarity for safety. Even in disconnected or toxic relationships, the predictability creates a false sense of security. Your brain says: "I know what to expect here, therefore I'm safe"—even when you're deeply unfulfilled.  The transformative truth? Uncertainty itself isn't dangerous. We live with it constantly! The key is learning to create emotional safety for yourself without requiring external certainty. In this episode you'll learn the first steps to dismantle false safety mechanisms and build true emotional security. If this podcast resonated with you in any way, please take a minute to follow and give me a rating wherever you listen to podcasts.To schedule your complimentary consult with Karin click here.For more information and full show notes go to:https://www.karinnelsoncoaching.com/post/ep213

Send us a textYou say one thing. They hear another. And somehow, the more you try to explain, the worse it gets.Sound familiar?This is what defensiveness does. It scrambles your message, distorts your intentions, and quietly chips away at emotional safety, until even love starts to feel like a battleground.According to renowned relationship researcher Dr. John Gottman, defensiveness is one of the top predictors of divorce. And not because you're broken, but because it's the armor we all reach for when emotions get big and uncomfortable.In this episode of Love Shack Live, the podcast for anyone standing at a relationship crossroads, we're breaking down the truth about defensiveness: why we all do it, what it looks like (even when it's subtle), and how to take off the armor without losing yourself.You'll hear:Real-life examples of common defensive moves (yes, we all have a favorite!)How defensiveness kills emotional safety, and how to rebuild itA simple tool you can use to recognize when you're getting defensive in real timeAnd we'll ask the question that could shift everything:What if the thing you're doing to protect your heart… is actually keeping real love out?Whether you're navigating space, dating again, or trying to save something that still matters, this one's for you. It's time to slow things down, get honest about “that thing you do,” and start building connection from the inside out.Timestamps: 03:39 Flavors of Defensiveness06:44 The Impact of Defensiveness17:14 Personal Stories and Examples25:49 Building Emotional Safety27:26 Understanding Defensiveness28:34 Common Defensive Mechanisms31:26 Personal Stories of Defensiveness34:01 Managing Emotional Capacity35:41 Practical Tips for Handling Defensiveness44:07 Defensiveness in Relationships47:31 Conclusion and Resources
