Elevated Man Podcast with Apollonia Ponti  Why Men Don't Feel Safe to Love Women Anymore. Men Aren't Cold… They're Guarded! In this episode, we dive into a conversation that's becoming more common but rarely discussed openly: why many men say they no longer feel safe to love. Are men becoming cold, or have they simply become more guarded? Apollonia Pont will explore how modern dating culture, emotional vulnerability, and the pressure to perform in relationships have shaped how men approach love today. From the fear of weaponized vulnerability to the "option mindset" created by dating apps and social media, many men feel that opening up emotionally can backfire. This episode breaks down why some men hold back, how good men can become guarded over time, and what it really means when a man says he doesn't feel emotionally safe. More importantly, we talk about what healthy vulnerability and stronger mindsets can look like in modern relationships. Men aren't cold — they're protecting themselves. Let's talk about why! Key points in this episode! 0:34 — Are men really afraid of love? Let's talk about what's actually going on. 1:08 — When a man says "I don't feel safe," here's what he might really mean. 2:10 — Weaponized vulnerability: what it is and how it shows up in relationships. 4:01 — Why modern dating can start to feel like a performance. 5:13 — The "option mindset" and how it's changing the dating scene. 6:11 — Why good men sometimes become guarded over time. 7:22 — What men can do to build a stronger mindset in dating and relationships.

Elevated Man Podcast with Apollonia Ponti  In this podcast episode, we explore the deeper truth behind why so many modern relationships struggle to last. Apollonia ponti will break down the hidden dynamic that often goes unnoticed: the loss of balance between masculine and feminine energy. You'll learn how modern dating culture, emotional safety, and the "option mindset" can slowly erode trust, connection, and attraction. We also discuss why many good men become guarded over time, why relationships today can feel more like a performance, and how mismatched expectations between partners create distance rather than intimacy. Most importantly, we uncover the #1 reason modern relationships fail—and what both partners can do to restore polarity, emotional security, and genuine connection. If you've ever wondered why dating feels more complicated today, this conversation offers insight, clarity, and practical perspective for building a stronger, more conscious partnership.

If you're constantly anxious and tensed, then you're signaling to the brain that something is wrong. Making the brain stay stuck on high alert, interpreting everyday life as a threat. This can lead to more anxiety. In this episode, I talk about why it's important to help regulate your nervous system. And how to find something that helps do just that, like meditation.Schedule an appointment with Dr. LisaJoin Dr. Lisa's VIP Group Membership

Why People Must Feel Safe Before They Act  Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Let's talk a little bit about how we can influence another person. Because at the end of the day, we're gonna go from potential to performance. But the idea here is that you will be influential to another person, alright? Now building rapport and ultimately influencing something, somebody, it's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy, that's a bit of an automatic reflex. In other words, wired into our central nervous system is a safety mechanism that tells us if are we in rapport with our surroundings or not. Are we safe in our surroundings or not? Okay, so if you want to influence another person to your point of view or influence them to so they take action in any way, you have to make them feel safe and the way that they do that is they have to decide if they like you, or not in the way that you're thinking like, you know, not like I like to spend time with that person. But on some level am I like that person? Do we have something in common? Right? So on some level, your audience has the feel that they are like you. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.  

In this episode Laura joins a host of (almost entirely female) guests, out on the road in London to talk about how cycle routes deliver - or not - for women's safety. In early 2025 Laura interviewed women on the London Cycling Campaign's Women's Freedom Ride, a mass ride, after dark, to highlight the safety concerns women face when cycling in London - and how some of the capital's routes just don't feel that safe at night.At the time the Women's Network had just launched a report that showed almost a quarter, 24%, of the city's cycle routes did not feel safe at night. This meant routes that were isolated, and in some cases poorly lit. The Network's previous research found that a third of women stop cycling in winter because of safety issues. It also revealed the shocking levels of harassment some women experience on the streets.Unfortunately some of the audio from that ride was unusable because of the challenges of cycling while recording - so undeterred, a year later Laura went out to gather more recordings and find out what has happened for women's safety in the last year. In January 2026, Laura went along to the opening of an almost-finished cycle lane and two junction redesigns at one of London's worst collision hotspots, at Lambeth Bridge. This was sadly the site of a fatal collision in which art designer Moira Gemmill, was killed while cycling in 2015, when a distracted lorry driver turned into her path.This episode Laura spoke to:Kate Bartlett, the mastermind behind the London Cycling Campaign's Women's Network's on-the-ground research around the social safety of London's cycle infrastructureZoe Garbett, Green London Assembly Member Kerena Fussell, London Cycling Campaign Women's Network Deborah from Leytonstone, LCC Women's NetworkNatalie Lyndsey, on the Board of Trustees of the London Cycling CampaignHelen Cansick, head of safe and healthy streets investment planning for Transport for LondonWill Norman, London's Walking and Cycling CommissionerCoverage of the LCC Women's Network's first report from 2024 https://nla.london/news/what-stops-women-cycling-in-london The London Cycling Campaign's Women's Network report, Women's Freedom After Dark, 2025: https://lcc.org.uk/news/womens-freedom-after-dark/Moira Gemmill's death at the hands of a distracted lorry driver: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-39027676 Work to improve Lambeth Bridge for cycling https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2025/january/tfl-begins-next-phase-of-work-to-improve-safety-at-lambeth-bridge For ad-free listening, behind-the-scenes and bonus content and to help support the podcast - head to (https://www.patreon.com/StreetsAheadPodcast).

What if the dream feels “too big” because you haven't built the capacity to hold it yet? What if success isn't missing you—but waiting for you to feel safe enough to receive it?  This week, Jessica sits down with actress Karolina Wydra (Pluribus, Sneaky Pete) to talk about the long game of manifestation. From growing up in communist Poland and internalizing scarcity and suppression, to stepping away from acting at 39 to become a mother, Karolina's story is one of surrender, self-trust, and divine timing. It's a true testimony to something central at TBM: what is meant for you will not miss you. After years of inner work, Karolina landed a life-changing role on Pluribus, fulfilling a longtime manifestation of working with Vince Gilligan. Through EMDR, nervous system regulation, Expanders, journaling, and radical honesty with herself, she shares how subconscious reprogramming helped her release the belief that her dreams were “too big” and instead expand her capacity to receive them. If you've ever feared success as much as failure, this conversation is a reminder that manifestation isn't about forcing—it's about becoming safe enough to hold what you've been calling in.

“A common pattern we see is that the sex has dried up.”In millions of marriages around the globe, one partner is starving for intimacy, and the other feels confused, frightened, frozen, or all three. The sexually guarded partner doesn't know how to open, and their partner feels stuck, unhappy and alone.So what can they do?Here we explore exactly that, with a focus on a woman partner who may be terrified of engaging in sexual healing. We explore the origins and root causes of this pattern, as well as sexual intimacy, emotional intimacy, love, commitment, and connection.We talk about the phenomenon of: “I'm so flooded now that we have kids that it's really hard for me to have the bandwidth to connect physically with anyone.” And: “Our lack of physical intimacy started bleeding into a lack of emotional intimacy."We also talk about the prevalence of sexual trauma, whether from childhood or adulthood or both, as well as how to heal from it.Hint: One of the best ways to move through it is as a woman is not with a love relationship partner, but with other women.Sisterhood is powerful medicine.Mentioned on this episode:Violet's program for women: Love Integrated (https://loveandlegacy.circle.so/LoveIntegrated)Violet & Jason & Luke's program for women: Heart of Shadow for Women (https://heartofshadow.com/women/)DM 1: Pain in Pleasure, Pleasure in PainDM 348: ‘I wish we had sex more.'

Australian Sarah Gibbs has been an avid hiker all her life. Recently she decided to head off for her first multi-night solo trek and film it to show that such an experience could be safe for a young woman. She walked about 160 kilometres on the famed Goldfields Track in Victoria, and that's when things took a turn for the worst. Sarah Gibbs shares the rest of her story with Jesse.

You're working out consistently. You're eating “pretty healthy.” You're trying to be disciplined.And yet your body isn't changing.In this episode, I unpack a simple but powerful shift: what if your body isn't broken… it just doesn't feel safe?I walk through five signs your system may be in protection mode and explain why fat loss is less about pushing harder and more about creating stability.If you feel like you're doing everything right but nothing is working, this episode will help you understand what's actually happening beneath the surface.If this episode hit home, I'm going deeper into this next week!On February 26, I'm hosting a free live webinar where I'll break down the exact sequence I use to move women out of protection mode and into real, sustainable fat loss.I'll walk you through the 4-step framework I personally used to lose 20 pounds and tone up — and that I now use with my clients inside Built by Balance If you've been working hard but your body isn't responding, this will connect the dots.Save your spot at the link below

For many women, relying on a man doesn't feel relaxing… it feels risky.Maybe you grew up watching instability. Maybe you learned independence early. Maybe trusting men has felt unsafe emotionally, financially, or relationally.And if that's you — this episode isn't here to judge you.It's here to understand you.Today I'm sharing a deeply honest conversation sparked by real life — a moment with my husband, Alex, a triggered client interaction, and my own journey from hyper-independence to feeling genuinely safe in partnership.We're talking about:✨ Why some women struggle to trust men or rely on masculine leadership✨ How childhood, past relationships, and cultural messaging shape relationship safety✨ The difference between independence, hyper-independence, and emotional security✨ What actually builds trust with a provider partner✨ How nervous system safety impacts intimacy and polarity✨ Maintaining personal sovereignty while being supported financially✨ Why “relying” doesn't have to mean losing yourself✨ Small steps to rebuild trust if you've been hurt beforeThis isn't about convincing you to adopt a certain relationship model.It's about helping you explore:What actually feels safe, nourishing, and aligned for YOU.Because you don't have to choose between being strong and being supported.You can be both.And when love feels safe — everything expands.Join LOVERThis is the exact work we do inside ⁠LOVER: Dripping In Eros⁠—Melissa's self-paced feminine embodiment program.Inside LOVER, you'll learn:

In this Ask Steph episode, we explore one of the most common (and understandable) questions in anxious–avoidant dynamics: what actually helps an avoidant partner feel safe enough to open up emotionally?If you tend toward anxious attachment, it can feel deeply unsettling to sense that parts of your partner's inner world are closed off to you. That can create a strong pull to try harder, ask more questions, or push for emotional access — often with the hope that if they open up, it will mean you're finally “enough.”In this episode, we unpack why that instinct can backfire, and what genuinely supports emotional safety instead.

In this episode, we talk about boundaries within relationships—how to say no without guilt, how to stop being passive when you really mean “no,” and how to build emotional safety so honesty doesn't feel like rejection. We break down real-life examples (intimacy + tiredness, overwhelm and household tasks, going out boundaries), and how past relationship experiences can shape how you communicate today. We also touch on therapy, processing vs blurting, and why boundaries get clearer as you grow.    

Do you feel uneasy when things slow down?Does rest make you restless, anxious, or uncomfortable—while staying busy feels safer?In this episode of Mental Health School, we explore why slowing down doesn't feel safe for so many people, even when their life is stable and nothing is technically wrong.You'll learn how your nervous system learned to associate alertness, productivity, or movement with safety—and why stillness can feel threatening if it was once linked to vulnerability or unpredictability. This episode explains why feeling uncomfortable at rest isn't a personal flaw, but a conditioned nervous system response.We also include a gentle grounding exercise designed to help your body experience stillness with support—without forcing calm or “trying to relax.”This episode is for you if:You feel better staying busy than restingStillness makes your mind louderYou feel guilty or uneasy doing nothingYou've wondered why slowing down feels unsafeUnderstanding always comes before regulation. This episode helps you understand why your body resists slowing down—and how safety is relearned over time.

She says, “I don't feel safe.”He hears the words… but doesn't know what they actually mean in her nervous system.In this episode we finally explain what that sentence really means, why it shows up even in good relationships, and exactly how to build the “couple bubble” — the invisible forcefield that makes her (and him) feel safe again, even when life gets hard.We also talk about why principles beat rules every time, and we give you powerful journaling prompts so you can start creating your own guarantees of safety this week.This is the episode that turns understanding into something you can both feel in your body.Key Takeaways“I don't feel safe” is rarely about the relationship being unsafe — it's about the nervous system no longer feeling regulated by your partner.The couple bubble is the practical way you turn safety from a concept into a felt experience.Principles (chosen because they're good and right for you personally) outlast rules (followed only out of fear or consequences).Both partners must be able to defend a principle selfishly for themselves first — otherwise it's just a stick, not a carrot.The bubble is a pact: we agree to do things for each other that no one else would be willing to do.Your Homework – Do This WeekPart 1 – Journal privately (10–15 minutes each)What guarantees would you like to receive from your partner inside the bubble? (Be specific. What would make you feel truly safe, even on your worst day?)What guarantees would you like to give your partner?

In this episode, Dr. Vignesh Devraj moves beyond the moral ideas of being “nice” or “letting things go.” This conversation reframes forgiveness as a form of emotional and biological recovery. Drawing from Ayurveda, psychology, and lived clinical experience, the episode explores how unresolved emotional pain impacts immunity, inflammation, and healing, and why forgiveness is less about others and more about restoring inner balance. Episode Highlights:The real definition of forgivenessForgiveness vs. resentmentForgiveness as revengeProcessing emotional pain correctlyAyurvedic perspective on forgiveness and immunityIdiopathic illnesses and unresolved emotionsPractical tools to support forgivenessTimestamps: 00:00 - 03:00: Forgiveness as Weakness & Revenge03:00 - 07:00: Forgiveness and Shockabsorbers 07:00 - 10:00: Idiopathic Diseases and Emotions10:00 -14:00: Making the body feel safe with Forgiveness14:00 - 15:00: One Simple TakeawayDr Vignesh Devraj If you are interested in doing one on one Ayurvedic consultation with Dr Vignesh Devraj please find the details in this link: https://calendly.com/drvignesh/30-minute-session-with-dr-vignesh-devraj-md-ay-istIf you are economically challenged, please use the form provided to request a free Ayurvedic consultation here.

Vata is responsible for Prana - the life energy, the nervous system - the master panel of our body, and our emotions. In Ayurveda, it is mentioned that controlling Vata is the most difficult part of healing and recovery.

What if your body could tell you everything you need to know about your anxiety — if only you knew how to listen? In this powerful first part of their conversation, Dr. Jodi Richardson sits down with neurophysiologist and trauma-informed therapist Dr. Ashleigh Moreland to unpack what it really means to feel safe in your body again. They talk about the difference between the mind and the brain, why anxiety so often shows up as physical symptoms, and how early life experiences can shape the way we respond to stress. Ashleigh shares her own story of parenting through anxiety, explains how somatic awareness helps us come back to the present moment, and reveals why “fixing the wiring” matters more than constantly “putting out fires.” If you’ve ever been told “there’s nothing wrong with you” when your body says otherwise, this conversation will make you feel seen, understood, and full of hope.

In Episode 2 of Survival Mode vs Soft Living, we're talking about what it really means to learn how to feel safe again—in your body, your mind, and your everyday life.When you've spent a long time in survival mode, rest can feel unfamiliar, softness can feel uncomfortable, and peace can feel undeserved. This episode explores how survival mode shows up, why it's so hard to turn off, and the gentle steps it takes to create safety within yourself again.We'll talk about unlearning hyper-vigilance, honoring your nervous system, and choosing softness without guilt. This is a reminder that you don't have to stay in survival mode forever—you're allowed to feel safe, supported, and at ease.✨ If you're healing, unlearning, or slowly choosing a softer life, this episode is for you.

If you've ever wondered, “Is it too late to be the dad my kids need?” this episode is for you. So many men carry quiet regret about their parenting. Missed games. Short tempers. Long work hours. Seasons where survival mode took over and presence slipped. And most dads assume the window closed … that the past defines the relationship forever. It doesn't. In this episode of REBUILT, we talk honestly about what actually matters now not what you wish you'd done differently then. This isn't about shame or perfection. It's about understanding how kids (at every age) experience safety, repair, and connection and how dads can lead with strength, humility, and presence moving forward. You'll hear: Why worrying about being “enough” is often a sign you're already a good dad How to rebuild trust and connection without reliving or defending the past What kids actually need from their dad emotionally (and why it's never too late) Simple language dads can use with children, teens, or adult kids to open safe conversations How God's heart as a Father reframes our fear of getting it wrong This episode is especially for dads who feel caught in the middle between how they were raised and the dad they're trying to become. Between wanting to lead with strength and fearing they've already failed. Brother, nothing about this makes you a bad dad. The fact that you care means something is still very much alive here. This conversation is about repair over regret. Presence over perfection. And becoming the steady, grounded father your kids can feel ... starting now.

Why does The Great British Baking Show feel soothing while Hell's Kitchen activates our nervous systems?     In this episode of Put Your Books Down, Natalie Sanderson Jones and Angela Bingham dive into the psychology of cooking shows, celebrity chefs, and why watching adults scream over risotto is somehow considered entertainment. From Gordon Ramsay's public persona versus his real-life charm, to Paul Hollywood's quietly terrifying handshake, the hosts unpack why kindness feels radical in competition television.     They compare Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen, The Bear, and British Baking, explore whether chefs have to be ruthless to succeed, and break down why some shows feel emotionally safe while others feel exhausting. Along the way: Ratatouille metaphors, chef egos, true crime comfort viewing, spatchcocked chickens, and why yelling is not a personality.     If you love pop culture analysis, food TV debates, and honest conversations about why some shows calm us while others overwhelm us, this episode delivers.     Check out our website here:  https://putyourbooksdown.com/     Watch the show on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLb18ywHqVOG_d2BKfy_-XS3MaDi6dz6s7     Follow Put Your Books Down on social media:     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/putyourbooksdown     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/putyourbooksdown/     Natalie on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/nataliesanderson/     Angela on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/angelabinghamofficial/     Podcast produced by http://clantoncreative.com

Why does the brain associate weight loss with dying, and what happens when you stop fighting your body and flip the brain instead? Josh Trent welcomes Weight Loss Expert, David Zappasodi, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 792, to reveal why weight gain is often a survival strategy, how subconscious identity and polarity drive compulsive eating, why willpower and restrictive diets fail, what a true Brain Flip does to dissolve fear, mourning, and self sabotage around weight loss, and how allowing transformation instead of forcing change creates sustainable freedom in the body and mind.

What if the reason your healing feels stuck isn't that you're doing it wrong… but that your system doesn't yet feel safe enough to really feel? So many of us don't just have emotions, we have feelings about our feelings. We might be afraid of our shame, ashamed of our fear, or judge ourselves as weak for feeling anxious or angry. Over time, this ties our inner world in knots and creates tension, self-judgment, and a quiet fear of our own emotions. Instead of our emotions moving through us and releasing, they get held at a distance. We don't feel them deeply enough to truly heal. In this somatic meditation, you'll gently cultivate cues of safety in your body and practice meeting your feelings in a grounded, supported way, so your system can learn emotional safety and emotions can finally move, complete, and resolve. Press play now and begin meeting your feelings with more safety and support.

n today's Daily Shift, we explore a message many people heard growing up: "Calm down." Often, this was said before we were ever helped to feel safe, understood, or supported. When emotions rise, we're taught to control or suppress them. But regulation doesn't come from forcing yourself to calm down — it comes from safety. Your nervous system isn't broken or overreacting; it's responding to something it perceives as threatening or overwhelming. This episode is a gentle reminder that calming the body starts with creating safety, not pressure. In this episode, we explore: Why "calm down" often increases shame and frustration The difference between calming yourself and feeling safe How the nervous system responds to perceived threat Simple ways to offer yourself safety in the moment A gentle reminder from today's shift: You don't need to force calm Your nervous system is responding, not failing Safety comes before regulation Take a pause. Let this be a moment to soften and reconnect with yourself.

What would change if you had unshakeable self-worth? If judgment fell away and you tended to yourself with pure compassion, what version of self would come forward?In this episode—a continuation of our Inner Child Phases series—Lacy, Jessica, and LMFT EMDR Therapist Janelle explore the final three stages of inner child development: Creativity & Play (ages 3-5), Confidence & Competence (ages 5-3), and Authentic Identity & Belonging (ages 13-21). These foundational years are where your creativity, passion, and your truest, weirdest self come into being.For many of us, this is also where shame, conditioning, and “shoulds” begin to hide our light. This challenge is designed to restore a sense of safety, nurturing, and self-trust—so you can reconnect with who you've always been (and were always meant to be).A reminder for whoever needs it: you're allowed to play for play's sake. To slow down, create beauty, and experience joy simply because it feels good. When you quiet the inner critic and reconnect with curiosity and creativity, you give your inner child permission to live in their truth.It's time to return to your magic. **Trigger warning: We discuss healing from sexual abuse and trauma from 48:00 through 50:40**Find the complete show notes here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources: New Year Sale!Take advantage of this miracle portal and join The Pathway to manifest your dream life in 2026!

What if the way your needs were met in infancy still shapes your ability to feel safe, seen, and supported today?Welcome to the end-of-year challenge: The Return to Magic. Today, Lacy, Jessica, and EMDR-certified LMFT Janelle dive deep into the foundation of all manifestation work: your earliest subconscious blueprint set in childhood. This episode explores the powerful programming from ages zero to 18 months. It's a period most people don't remember, but it's when your soul touched down into your human body—and profoundly shapes who you are today. This early stage is where safety, secure relationships, and boundaries are formed, and Janelle helps us understand how the presence (or absence) of these things can leave us feeling out of balance.This conversation is a reminder that our TBM practice is here to bring us back to our most whole selves. We are not destined to stay stuck in old patterns or loops that don't serve us. We can start from the very beginning and manifest the lives we're meant to embody. This is the work that changes everything. It's time to return to your magic.Find the complete show notes here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources: Big End of Year SALE - 30% off Annual and Monthly Subscriptions Return to Magic - 15 Day Manifestation ChallengeA 15-day guided journey to reparent your inner child, reconnect with your magic, and step into this new year as your most confident, regulated, and magnetic self yet.

When relationships feel chaotic, it's usually not just about the moment—it's old patterns running the show. In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I talk with Jillian Turecki, relationship expert and bestselling author of It Begins With YOU, about why love can feel so hard and how to finally feel safe. Jillian opens up about her own heartbreak, loss, and transformation, and shares what she's learned about healing old wounds and building relationships that feel secure, balanced, and real. Watch our full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We discuss: • How to regulate your emotions and stay connected during conflict • The difference between past wounds and present triggers • Science-backed tools you can use to build emotional safety and trust • Why generosity, curiosity, and respect create lasting intimacy • How to choose a healthy partner and stop repeating old patterns Lasting love gets easier when you calm your body, challenge old stories, practice repair, and try to choose wisely from the start.
