In this episode, host Dana Skaggs sits down with Kristal Desantis to talk about why traditional masculinity is struggling in modern relationships. Kristal describes what she calls the “broken script,” where old-school roles of men as sole protectors and providers clash with today's need for emotional partnership. This leaves a lot of men caught in a “masculinity trap”—criticized for being too stoic but judged when they open up. The two dive into topics like emotional safety, touch starvation, and the pressure to measure up to narrow definitions of worth. Kristal also shares her “STRONG” model, a down-to-earth framework to help men move past performative roles and create healthier, more genuine connections. Kristal's Linkedin Kristal's Website
Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm answering your questions, including my dating advice and giving my opinion on the government's rebrand of the Department of Defense to the “Department of War.” Is this really the direction we should be heading? From relationships to reckless policies, we'll cover it all with a dose of honesty and a little humor, as always. :)--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee
In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and fellow coach, Jonathan Aslay. Jonathan is one of America's leading midlife self-love coaches, and together we dive into what it really takes to create lasting love in today's world. From navigating power dynamics in relationships to building trust, and from self-awareness to the surprising truth about chemistry, this conversation is packed with wisdom for anyone ready to step into a healthier, more fulfilling partnership. Main Takeaways Jonathan emphasizes the importance of being present in relationships. Self-awareness is crucial for building trust and intimacy. Curiosity in conversations can lead to deeper connections. Women should not feel the need to downplay their success in relationships. Building a friendship first can lead to stronger romantic connections. Vulnerability is key to establishing trust in relationships. It's important to communicate openly about uncomfortable topics like money. People often sabotage their love lives due to unresolved past issues. Dating should be approached as a meeting rather than a performance. Age should not be a barrier to finding love. 3 Main Topics 1. Power Dynamics in Relationships (03:33) "When two equal people show up, you can have more co-creative conversations." Explanation: Healthy relationships thrive when both people bring their full selves—financially, emotionally, and energetically—to the table. Avoiding silence around uncomfortable topics like money and expectations allows couples to build partnerships rooted in equality and collaboration. 2. Trust and Speaking Your Truth (09:39) "Speak your truth, just do it from a kind place. If you do it sincerely, you can't say the wrong thing to the right person." Explanation: Trust goes beyond fidelity; it's about knowing the other person has your best interests at heart. Speaking openly and vulnerably—without fear of rejection—creates the safety needed for intimacy and long-term stability. 3. Chemistry and the Friend Zone (22:38) "I realized later why we didn't have that chemistry at first… I had no idea what a secure meeting felt like." Explanation: Many confuse anxiety and butterflies with love, overlooking the steadiness of a secure connection. True intimacy grows from friendship, presence, and appreciation—often blooming where instant “sparks” seem absent. Reframing how chemistry develops can open the door to real, lasting connection.

Tim Ash, co-author of the book Primal Dating: The Unflinching Evolutionary Psychology Guide to Modern Relationships. Ash, an authority on evolutionary psychology, discusses how human dating behavior is profoundly influenced by our evolutionary past, arguing that our biology supersedes modern cultural narratives. He explains that men and women evolved for different, complementary roles, which dictate their mating strategies. Women are selective, seeking a "proven winner" who can provide and provision, while men are bred to compete for the best options. This foundational understanding is crucial for navigating dating, which Ash and his co-author, Dr. Limor Gottlieb, believe is a "hellscape" in its current form. Tim attributes the challenges of modern dating to factors like online dating, where a gender imbalance and the ease of approach have led to women being overwhelmed with choices and men becoming "invisible". He criticizes the "happy talk" found in many dating books and certain "red pill" ideologies, such as the idea that all men can be "alphas". Instead, he advocates for a reality-based approach centered on self-improvement for men. Ash states that men must first become competent in some area, as true confidence and attractiveness stem from having agency in the world. He emphasizes that men's sexual marketplace value peaks later in life, around age fifty, in contrast to women's, which peaks in their late teens to early twenties. The book also addresses the complexities of long-term relationships and the need for both partners to continuously invest in themselves. Ash explains that women will always test their partners to ensure continued provisioning and emotional support, a behavior with evolutionary roots. He advises men to remain "mysterious" and attractive to other women, as this subconscious perception of desirability enhances their partner's attraction. The book is recommended for both men and women, as it provides a guide to understanding the psychology of both genders and improving relationships, whether for dating or marriage. Ash hopes the book will help people approach relationships with more insight, peace, and success.

In this engaging episode, I welcome Chantelle Raven from the Embodied Awakening Academy to explore the evolving dynamics in relationships, focusing on the concept of the "masculine provider." We dive into the pressures men face as financial providers and the expectations women have regarding arousal and partnership. Chantelle highlights the unfair societal expectations placed on men while acknowledging the roles women play. She shares her personal journey towards financial independence and how these dynamics manifest in her relationship with Matisse, who offers emotional and familial support instead of financial. Our conversation emphasizes the importance of equality in relationships, suggesting that provision extends beyond finances to include emotional care and household responsibilities. We discuss how energies and responsibilities should flow naturally in a relationship, free from traditional gender roles or entitlement, and how this is crucial for personal empowerment and shared responsibilities. As we continue, I share insights from my own relationship and reflect on the upcoming birth of my baby, considering how these dynamics of providing and relational flow evolve with fatherhood. We highlight the significance of mutual respect and balance, ensuring all partners feel seen and appreciated in their roles. Our discussion challenges societal norms that pressure men and women into predefined roles. Towards the end, we shift focus to personal growth, community, and the transformative potential of workshops like Living Tantra, inviting listeners to explore deeper personal and relational transformations. This episode navigates the nuanced dialogue of traditional masculine and feminine roles, personal empowerment, and the creation of balanced, nurturing partnerships.
