Are you craving a deeper connection in your relationship but don't know where to start? Today's episode of Men's Therapy Podcast is just about that. Marc Azoulay sits down with relationship coach, Shana James. She is a renowned author of "Honest Sex: A Passionate Path to Deeper Connection and Keeping Relationships Alive." Shana has over 20 years of experience working with men. She brings a wealth of knowledge on cultivating authentic relationships and overcoming shame. She shares her insights on building sex and intimacy while embracing vulnerability. Shana's journey into relationship coaching began when she moved to San Francisco after college. In the city, she joined an intentional community. This group focused on cultivating authenticity. It also emphasized building deep, meaningful connections. This experience radically changed her perspective on men and relationships. This motivated her to indulge in sex therapy for men. As she shares, "It broke my heart to see that every man I met, no matter how he came off in the beginning... to get to see and experience his vulnerability. It was so powerful and it changed the way I saw men and related to men."

I'm so excited to have a conversation with Shana James, a relationship coach and author with 20+ years of experience facilitating workshops on communication, mindfulness, psychology, and sensuality. Shana uses her gifts of empathy and compassion to support men and help them connect to themselves and their potential. In our society, men have a lot of power, but they also suffer alone and often struggle with emotional intimacy. As a result, they become more likely to harm themselves (suicide rates for men are three to four times higher than for women) and others. In our conversation, Shana and I dive deep into the nuances that are often lost in translation in heterosexual relationships to answer important questions: What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be human together? If you have a male figure in your life, listen to this conversation to learn more about using empathy for more understanding, connection, and meaning.    Topics: Shana's experiences and motivations as the rare female coach who works primarily with men  How to start seeing and understanding men behind the masks and facades of traditional masculinity  Living beyond gender stereotypes and recognizing that many men want more emotional intimacy and connection in their relationships  Moving beyond shame, blame, and fear and creating emotional safety in your relationships and communities  How to connect beyond past resentments and start applying the nuggets of wisdom from our conversation to your real life Episode Resources: Honest Sex: A Passionate Path to Deepen Connection and Keep Relationships Alive by Shana James Redefining Masculinity: A Conversation on Men's Work and Vulnerability with Bob Conlin & Alex Terranova   Connect with Catherine: Apply to join the free Unbounded community, a vibrant group of empathpreneurs who are passionate about supporting each other on our entrepreneurial journeys.  Website LinkedIn Instagram YouTube Sign up to receive my weekly digest on empathic entrepreneurship and hear from voices committed to spreading this message, sent straight to your inbox every Friday since 2016, here.    Work with Catherine: Interested in working 1:1 with a certified coach on Catherine's team, or joining her in one of her premium mastermind programs?

Shana is a relationship and leadership coach, and author of the book, “Honest Sex.” This conversation seems to fly by, and we get to a lot of places in it. From being present to life, to how women can better receive men's vulnerability, naming the fear, the idea of regular check-ins for relationships, sharing impact versus interpreting intention, and allowing ourselves and others to grow and change.

If yes, it's likely you never felt like you could talk to anyone about it because you were afraid of what they would say, or whether they would shame you.In polarity work, we often talk about feminine storm. But where's the line between feminine storm, feminine rage, and abuse? We want to break the silence and go into this.According to the CDC, one in seven men in the U.S. has suffered severe physical violence at the hands of an intimate partner. But physical violence isn't the only thing that can happen; emotional abuse is also deeply harmful, and very common for some of our clients.The truth is, there is a way to work with strong emotions without harming a partner. Here, we, as two women who are attracted to men, share our own personal stories of the difference between our feminine storm and our feminine rage.

By examining new ways to sustain connection with a partner, author Shana James illuminates a framework for relationships to start strong and get more intimate and exciting over time.We chat about:➡️ What is Honest Sex?➡️ How to have a greater sexual experience with your spouse.➡️ What to do before and after sex to improve it.➡️ How dealing with your "darkness" will open you up sexually.>> You can check out THE HONEST SEX book here

Andrea Cairella taught us that when we honor our time and our boundaries, we reclaim our power. Josephine Alturi reminded us to start small when learning to build mediation into our day. Anne Marie Comaratta helped us to understand the college admissions process, and how an outside person might get your kid to open up.

Some say we are outgrowing marriage as a culture. However, the problem that author Shana James regularly sees as a relationship coach—and through her own divorce—is that many of us have not matured enough to create the emotionally-connected, sexually-satisfying relationships we long for. Shana is the creator and host of the Man Alive podcast and has a TEDx Talk, “What 1,000 Men's Tears Reveal About the Crisis Between Men and Women.” In her latest book, Honest Sex, she uses her Master's in psychology, DISC, and Positive Intelligence certifications to guide readers.  As a relationship coach for 20 years, she humbly discovered the causes of disconnection and distrust in relationships, as well as how to build trust and keep passion alive.

Listen to this insightful Whinypaluza episode with Shana James about creating trust and honesty in your relationship to increase and improve intimacy with your partner. Here is what to expect on this week's show: The topic of sex was very taboo for many of us growing up. Education was relegated to safety and reproduction. Having an open conversation about sex can lead to great discomfort for many of us. Having an honest and intimate conversation with your partner can be intimidating. Oftentimes more so than talking with a stranger. There is a level of vulnerability that exists with closer relationships. Immature honesty is typically based in complaining, shaming, and a closed mind. Mature honesty is being open to talk about something, even when you have discomfort around the subject. Shana's expanded definition of what sex actually is: exploration, play, coming together with a person- emotionally, physically and energetically. Don't limit it to intercourse. Focus on the connection and enjoying, rather than the end result. While an orgasm is wonderful, it isn't the only thing to focus on. Avoiding these conversations will lead to stagnancy. Getting through the difficult conversations will get you through the discomfort and lead to a wonderful place. Consider having a debriefing conversation after sex. Don't ask “what didn't work,” ask what they liked and what they want more of. What is intimacy? How to become “more alive” both individually, and as a couple.   Connect with Shana: Website https://shanajamescoaching.com/ Honest Sex Book https://shanajamescoaching.com/honest-sex/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/shanajames Facebook https://www.facebook.com/truesuccessformen/ Follow Rebecca Greene Blog  https://www.whinypaluza.com/ Book  https://bit.ly/WhinypaluzaBook Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/whinypaluzaparenting Instagram https://www.instagram.com/becgreene5/ @becgreene5 TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@whinypaluzamom?lang=en @whinypaluzamom Learn more about your ad choices.

What does it mean to actually be honest when it comes to sex? A lot of couples never really talk about their sex life in depth. Sure, maybe one person in the relationship says they'd like to be having more sex. But that's different from having real, raw conversations about what's working, what each person wants more or less of, and what their deep-down turn-ons actually are.Why? Because it's scary to have these kinds of talks! Whether you're new to dating or you're in a long-term, committed relationship (or even married), it's hard to be open about sexual intimacy. And at the same time, not having honest sex comes at a cost. When you're not real with your partner about sex, you're cutting off a part of yourself. Then you tend to feel more distant. More separate.So how do you overcome this? How do you talk about sex with your partner in a way that's inviting instead of intimidating? Who brings it up and how? What if you wanna explore BDSM? Here we talk about all that — what it means to be truly honest, and how to elicit your partner's truth and desires and share your own.Mentioned on this episode:Shana's site: https://shanajamescoaching.com/

Shana James, author, speaker, podcaster, and men's coach, opens today's episode describing the genesis of her lifelong quest for understanding the human condition–both psychologically and spiritually. As an inquisitive kid, Shana found herself frustrated by the lack of answers for her curious questions.  She asked herself, “What are people not telling me?”She recalls that even in her earliest days she understood that the arguments, misunderstandings, and confrontations she witnessed at home revealed that, “Whoa!  They're not fighting about what they think they're fighting about!”Shana's yearning for understanding led her to leave home as soon as possible, to pursuing a Master's in Psychology, to living in intentional community…After participating a workshop created inside that community, she found herself profoundly called to work with men.And in the decades since, the energy of that calling has not diminished!We take a plunge into the deep end of the pool, riffing on intimacy, sex, communication, vulnerability, and a whole lot more.  We pepper in a few words about the stuff that gets in the way – and the stuff that clears the way and opens the gates to more fulfilling, openhearted relationships.A brief, albeit brilliant, detour leads us to “the ‘umm', the ‘hmmm', and the ‘ugh,'” which Shana laughingly reflects on as the simplification of humans as complex beings.Shana serves up a treasure trove of wisdom on the topic of sex and men and their oft confusing, even stunted, relationship to pleasure. We close with a discussion of the evolving nature of relationships, the power of mature honesty, and some great recommendations for resources for men seeking to up-level their intimacy – sexual and otherwise…And, of course, Shana shares a bit about her new book, Honest Sex!Shana James, MA Psy., has coached more than a thousand leaders, CEOs, authors, speakers and people with big visions who step into more powerful leadership, start and grow businesses, create more effective teams, increase their impact, get promoted, find love, create a legacy, and become more personally inspired and fulfilled.Held by clients as a "secret weapon," Shana is a translator between women and men, providing effective tools to transform conversations and dynamics into connection and collaboration.Links to more of Shana's good work:August 2022 Masterclass (free): 3 Ways to be Rejection Proof After Divorce or BreakupTEDx talk: What 1000 Men's Tears Reveal About the Crisis Between Men and WomenThe Man Alive Podcastshanajamescoaching.comLinkedIn

In this episode, Shana James shares how men can talk about their desires and their vulnerability toward having a thriving sex life. Shana's drive to support and guide people into a healthier relationship stems from her younger self who was confused and wanted to understand what a healthy relationship looked like. Now, Shana's work on communication extends beyond men and can be applied to all heterosexual relationships. Communication Breakdowns in a Relationship According to Shana, the most important part of communication in relationships that people need to improve is respect. Drawing on personal experience, Shana suggests that we reflect on the way we treat our partners. While trust is built on actions, words have the power to shake that foundation. Our emotional responses, like name-calling and blaming, are a part of that communication that needs to be fixed for a healthy relationship. What Makes a Lower Desire Partner Say No to Sex? A partner can push their lower-desire partner away from saying yes to sex when their conversation takes a turn into complaining and blaming. Instead, Shana suggests having a conversation filled with passion, excitement, and collaboration. Asking questions about what their desires are and talking about what you want to try is a good way to bring them around the idea of opening up about their wants. Depending on the tone of our conversations, lower desire partners can feel the blame and put off their desires. “Innately, there's nothing wrong with our desires”, Shana says while urging people to work through their desires and initiate collaboration. Shame Around Expressing Sexual Desires Shame is one of the biggest hurdles people feel around their desires that makes them say no to affectionate advances or sex. Their partners can offer them a safe space to express those desires by fulfilling their desires outside the bedroom – to be seen and understood. Shana says it's a collaborative effort of both partners to connect and form an intimate and emotional bond outside the bedroom. It enforces their trust to be playful and explore each other's bodies, what they like and need, and what you like and need. It's an experimentation-style approach of constantly being curious about each other's desires and your own. It helps face the shame and fears with compassion and love. How To Make Your Partner Feel Safe to Be Aroused & Sexual Shana's advice to make your partner feel safe and comfortable to be sexual is to be vulnerable and honest with your reasons for wanting that experience. Unlike many assume, men do feel the need to have sex to connect and bond on a deeper level or to express the love they feel. It's a way to leave behind the stresses of the day and focus on being a good partner. Shana also points out that when we assume the best of our partner, we start to understand where they're coming from and show more compassion towards their needs and our own, that's how collaboration is possible. Advice on How to Have Vulnerable Conversations Having conversations about desires and needs can be difficult for many, and Shana advises people to communicate before having sex. The conversation could be about how we're treating each other in terms of respect and acknowledging each other's wants and needs. During the conversation, it's important to hear what the other person is saying and instead of dismissing an idea, try entertaining the thought. You can brainstorm with your partner about how they can accommodate you in a way you feel safe and comfortable to try this new thing. This is where curiosity comes into play, says Shana. In terms of putting your desires forward, Shana suggests the ABC communication method. When you put an idea forward and get a “B” response from your partner that's surprising, instead of walking away try asking what caused them to respond in that way and be curious to find out. Final Thoughts Shana leaves us with a reminder to have those vulnerable conversations in the moment and avoid the build-up of resentment and irritation. Having conversations about sex during a casual time other than in the bedroom can boost that habit of collaboration and teamwork. She also suggests making your pleasure your responsibility by getting to know your body better. She urges people to be playful with sex and not keep orgasm as a goal and be exploratory with it. Biography For 15 years Shana coached more than a thousand leaders, CEOs, authors, speakers, and people with big visions to find love, rekindle the spark, step into more powerful leadership, start and grow businesses, increase their impact, create a legacy, and become more personally inspired and fulfilled.

Do you remember a time when sex was a natural, powerful, beautiful thing that just happened? Now that things are more complicated, are you questioning whether you should be asking for sex, wanting more pleasure, sharing your desires or focusing on her needs instead? June is Men's Health Month, so we invited Men's Coach, Shana James, host of Man Alive Podcast, as we talk about what men really want and need when it comes to finding the right partner and enjoying the best sexual pleasure.

In this episode, Ashlynn and Coby are joined by Shana James to discuss the value of knowing the right kind of questions that lead to connection. They also discuss questions and statements that can lead to understanding, empathy, and bonding. For 15 years, Shana James has coached more than thousand men and women — leaders, CEOs, authors, speakers, and those with big visions -- to find love, rekindle the spark, create a legacy, become effective and impactful leaders and be personally inspired and fulfilled. Find out more at https://shanajamescoaching.com/tedx and on her Man Alive podcast. We are glad you found our season 3 episodes where we share some of our most advanced learnings and bring amazing experts on when it comes to relationships, and the challenges of healing both sides of the relationship after sex addiction and infidelity. Our journey has taken us a long ways from the time we recorded these episodes, but many have still found help and hope for healing in the information. We hope you always seek healing first for yourself, and where possible for the relationship, though staying together or choosing divorce or separation can occur at the point of betrayal and at times even after healing from betrayal and addictions. If you would like support in healing from betrayal we'd invite you to look at our program https://www.beyond-enough.com/beyondbetrayal It is not a program about staying together or leaving your partner, but rather finding the healing we need as an individual who has been made aware of our partner cheating. If you would like support from a licensed therapist contact Brannon's office at www.utahtherapy.org To find out about Ashlynn's groups https://www.thisisashlynn.com/mentoring To get support from Coby check out www.growwithcoby.com Thanks for your continued support for the podcast throughout all of our journey.
