Lisa McFarland is passionate about transforming the way people approach relationships. After more than 36 years of marriage, she and her husband continue to thrive by applying the tools and insights she gained through her life coaching journey—tools she now shares with others.

Too often, people carry old wounds and unhelpful patterns into their relationships, expecting them to work without support. Her mission is to change that—to remove the shame around asking for help and inspire people to see it as a path to growth, strength, and fulfillment. Through her coaching, Lisa encourages others to embrace their potential, live authentically, and create the relationships—and lives—they've always dreamed of.   Key Topics: ⭐ Why Most Couples Struggle Without Ever Learning Relationship Skills ⭐ The Midlife Crisis In Men And The Loneliness Of Women In Relationships ⭐ How Childhood Programming Shapes Conflict Styles And Emotional Patterns ⭐ Silent Treatment, Avoidance, And The Hidden Cost Of Poor Communication ⭐ Why Good Intentions Fail Without The Right Tools And Language ⭐ Emotional Safety As The New Foundation Of Modern Love ⭐ Practical Communication Tools: Listening vs. Fixing, Removing “You,” And Grace In Conflict ⭐ The Clash Between Perfectionism, Martyrdom, And Men Wanting To Contribute ⭐ Stagnation vs. Growth: Why Relationships Must Evolve Through Life's Phases ⭐ Rethinking Fidelity, Gender Roles, And Emotional Needs In A Changing World   Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   Breaking The Chains Of Avoidance Waitlist: https://forms.gle/oFyNbPmugYKtjQpRA   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net  Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe  Connect With Lisa McFarland:    Website: https://relationshipcoachni.com/

In this week's mini-episode, I dive into the difference between healthy space and destructive distancing in relationships.

In this week's episode, I dive into one of the most common but frustrating dating patterns men struggle with—the urge to pull away the moment things start to feel emotionally close. If you've ever wondered why your desire drops off as soon as connection deepens, this conversation will hit home. I break down why this reflex to distance isn't about “not being into her”—it's about you, your attachment system, and old programming that makes intimacy feel unsafe. From post-sex distancing to overthinking, devaluing relationships, and suppressing emotions, I uncover how this cycle keeps you stuck in regret and longing. Most importantly, I share a powerful three-step framework—Activation, Awareness, Transformation—that will help you identify your triggers, lean in instead of pulling back, and repair the connection when you withdraw. You'll learn practical tools like titrating closeness, disclosing emotions, and expressing yourself with honesty so you can finally break free of avoidance and build the relationships you want. If you've been frustrated by repeating the same dating loop, this episode gives you the clarity and practices to start changing it. Plus, I talk about my program—Breaking the Chains of Avoidance—a transformational 12-week journey designed to help avoidant men move into secure attachment, create real intimacy, and lead their relationships with confidence.

In this week's mini-episode, I go on a bit of a rant—because some of the dating advice out there is downright terrible. From “don't chase women” to “you'll just know when it's the one,” I break down why so much of the advice circulating online is oversimplified, lacks nuance, and actually keeps people stuck.

Vulnerability isn't weakness—it's courageous clarity. And when practiced with integrity, it deepens relationships, builds trust, and strengthens your masculinity—not weakens it.

In this week's mini-episode, I dive into the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways men block themselves from embodying healthy masculinity—and how it impacts every area of their relationships.

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, David Chambers speaks with Professor Ben Hine—psychologist and researcher at the University of West London—about the deep emotional toll family breakdowns have on fathers. From the overlooked role of dads in the family court system to the systemic biases men face during separation and divorce, this episode uncovers the hidden truths about fatherhood, emotional well-being, and societal expectations. If you're a father, know a father, or work with families, this is a conversation you don't want to miss. We explore mental health, parental alienation, masculinity, child attachment, and the impact of societal and cultural stereotypes on men's lived experiences. Ben received his BSc and PhD from Royal Holloway, University of London in 2010, focusing on the gender-typing of prosocial behavior in youth. Since 2014 at the University of West London, his work in applied gender and forensic psychology has grown. He has investigated gender in the criminal justice system, including rape myth impact on case progression (with MOPAC), and collaborated with SafeLives and The Mankind Initiative on domestic violence victim needs, including LGBTQIA+ and male survivors.  More recently, he explores post-separation abuse, particularly Parental Alienation, a professional interest stemming from his own parents' divorce in 2020. This personal experience has led to collaborations with various charities, organizations, and parents, as well as reflective writing on family breakdown, abuse, PA, and family court involvement.   KEY TOPICS:   ⭐ Why Are Fathers Marginalised in Custody And Court Systems ⭐ Emotional Fallout From Family Breakdown For Separated Fathers ⭐ The Stereotypes Of The Absent Or Unnecessary Father ⭐ Biological And Neurological Changes In Active Fatherhood ⭐ How Prejudice And Bias Shape Legal Outcomes ⭐ Weaponising Allegations Against Fathers In Family Court ⭐ Children's Long-Term Psychological Impact From Parental Alienation ⭐ The Empathy Gap Toward Men's Emotional Experiences ⭐ Why School Systems Fail To Support Boys Equally ⭐ Class, Culture, And Race In Fatherhood Stereotypes ⭐ Challenging The Traditional Masculinity Through Vulnerability And Involvement ⭐ Reframing Men's Issues As Human, Not Just Gendered Problems   Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: hello@theauthenticman.net  Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe    Connect With Ben Hine:    Separating Better App by OnePlusOne -https://www.oneplusone.org.uk/news/separating-better-the-story-so-far

In this powerful episode, David Chambers sits down with men's leadership expert Peter to unpack the hidden reasons why so many men feel disconnected, lost, and stuck in their lives, relationships, and careers. We dive deep into the father wound, mother wound, and how childhood conditioning silently blocks men from accessing true power and emotional confidence. Peter shares his own story of transformation — from self-medicating and emotional suppression to becoming a leader who helps men reclaim their purpose, presence, and self-expression.   Peter Eugène Bennett, Born in London, grown in Bangladesh, raised in Glastonbury - my multicultural upbringing taught me to navigate different worlds. Through personal struggles with family tragedy and my own journey with burnout, I discovered that our deepest wounds often become our greatest gifts. I never faced my own shadows of self-doubt, self-harm and self-hate. I hid the pain, suppressing emotions through various escapes, until a near-fatal street fight and arrest became my wake-up call. Yet with struggle comes freedom. I was stuck in my head, and now guide others back home to their hearts. For those who sense there's more to life and are ready to take the leap - I invite you to discover your full expression. My superpower is authenticity. From living with Shipibos in the Amazon to training in Flowstate, each experience has deepened my initiation into leadership. With a colourful 10+ year career in fast paced and creative roles, I found success as a TV presenter, “won” 3 dating shows and worked with brands such as MTV, Vice Media and TimeOut - still my heart yearned for more.. Everything changed when I attended my first men's circle in 2019. Recognising the profound impact of this work, I trained as a facilitator and began leading my own groups, witnessing the power of connection. Now, as Director of Sacred Sons Europe, I guide transformational experiences across the world, whilst offering 1-2-1 coaching and conscious leadership and wellbeing consultancy.
