What if the way you love — and the way you fight — were both written long before you met your partner? Tony Overbay, LMFT, reveals how your nervous system learned to react to love, conflict, and vulnerability decades before your first date — and how those patterns still show up today. In this episode, Tony introduces Jack and Jill, a fictional couple built from hundreds of real couples he has worked with over 20 years in therapy. Their story illustrates two common attachment patterns — one anxious, one avoidant — and how they collide in the classic pursue-withdraw cycle that leaves both partners feeling unseen, unsafe, and alone. Through relatable narrative, clinical insight, and real-world examples, you'll learn: • How childhood emotional experiences shape relationship expectations • Why your partner's reactions can feel like rejection (even when they aren't) • How anxiety and withdrawal both come from trying to feel safe • Why repeating the same argument isn't failure — it's a nervous system loop • What has to change before communication skills even matter This episode will help you finally understand why you fell for your partner… and why the very things that drew you together now drive you apart. Whether you identify with Jill's pursuit for reassurance or Jack's retreat into silence, you'll start to see the deeper story inside your relationship — the one your body has been telling long before you could put it into words. Stay tuned for Part 2, where Tony will explore an entirely different path — one where emotional safety is modeled, repair is possible, and connection doesn't have to hurt. 00:00 Introduction: The Hidden Stories of Our Reactions 00:41 Understanding Nervous System Responses 02:01 The Impact of Childhood Experiences 02:34 Modern Relationships and Nervous System Patterns 04:08 Meet Jack and Jill: A Case Study 09:09 Jill's Story: A Childhood of Emotional Instability 13:14 Jack's Story: Learning to Withdraw 16:43 Jack and Jill's Relationship Dynamics 21:18 The Pursue-Withdraw Cycle 27:23 Paths to Healing and Connection 29:44 Conclusion: Moving Forward with Awareness Contact Tony at contact@tonyoverbay.com to learn more about his Emotional Architects men's group.

“I don't believe in modern love,” David Bowie belted back in 1983—and it still feels oddly relevant today.

We've jokingly called it our “Before Trilogy of Modern Love,”- one story told across three very different movies. Expect takes on AI intimacy vs human messiness, pragmatism vs passion, why some marriages implode, timely headlines, and a few red flags.

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.

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.
