    #128: Stop Dating the Checklist

    Dating can start to feel confusing when attraction keeps pulling you toward the same kinds of outcomes, even when you know you want something deeper. In this episode, we slow the conversation down and look at what attraction is really pointing to beneath the surface. We talk about the difference between chasing a checklist and recognizing character, and why many women find themselves drawn to qualities that do not actually create the relationship they want.  In this episode, we discuss: - The difference between attraction to outcomes versus attraction to character and principles - Why focusing only on conventional attractiveness can cause you to miss emotionally available partners - How attraction can grow through emotional safety, integrity, and shared values - The concept of limerence and how it can distort attraction signals - Why instant chemistry is not always a reliable indicator of compatibility - The role of nervous system safety in attraction and connection - Moving out of transactional dating patterns and into value based connection #ForTheLoveOfMenPodcast #DatingWithIntention #FeminineEnergy #MasculineEnergy #HealthyRelationships #EmotionalAvailability #ConsciousDating #AttractionPsychology #RelationshipGrowth #SecureAttachment Want to work with Bri and/or Courtney?

    This conversation is for the woman who’s been doing the inner work, building her standards, and calling in something real… but still feels caught off guard when it finally arrives.

    #126 Situationships: The Clarity You Need To Avoid Them

    In this episode, we're talking about the complexities of situationships. Because they are so common, we need to have a real conversation about the emotional dynamics, boundaries, and the importance of clarity in relationships so people who want a long-term relationship can make the adjustments to how they approach these conversations and feel empowered to be honest about what they want and know when to exit before falling into unfulfilling relationship patterns.

    #124: Is It Emotional Labor or Are You Just Overfunctioning Again?

    You’ve probably heard the advice: “Set him up to win.” But what happens when that feels a little too close to overfunctioning, or like you’re sliding back into old patterns of caretaking, controlling, or doing too much? In this episode, we unpack what emotional labor really is, how it gets tangled up with the mental load and relational leadership, and why so many women feel like they’re carrying the entire emotional weight of the relationship while still craving deeper connection. We share what healthy emotional contribution actually looks like, where the line lives between giving and self-abandonment, and how to stay connected to your feminine energy while allowing space for healthy masculine energy to meet you. We talk about: - The difference between emotional labor, mental load, and overfunctioning - How to stop disappearing in the name of “keeping the peace” - Why healthy men may not be stepping in the way you want them to, and what’s actually going on under the surface - How your body might still be bracing for disappointment, even when your mind says you’re ready for more - Why it’s not about leaning back or leaning in, but about holding your seat in the relationship - How to communicate what you really need without performing, shrinking, or overexplaining - Why your capacity to receive is just as important as your desire to give - How good, grounded men are already doing emotional labor, and how to recognize it when you see it - What it looks like to build a relationship where both people are invested, emotionally available, and respected Want to work with Bri and/or Courtney?

    #123: The Inner Work After the Breakup

    At this point, it’s no longer about your ex or the pain, but about how you show up now. You’ve cried, processed, journaled, and talked it out. So what next? In this conversation, we talk about the shift from overthinking to embodiment, how to stop performing your boundaries and start living them, and why the kind of love you are calling in, especially from an emotionally available grounded masculine man, can only find you when you are fully being yourself. If you have ever wondered whether you are healed enough to try again, or if high standards mean being alone forever, or if you are the reason things keep ending, we are talking about it all, today! What we cover in this episode - The final layer of breakup recovery no one talks about - How to tell if your boundaries are embodied or just rehearsed - Letting go of self-blame without letting yourself off the hook - The grief of almost relationships and why they sting so much - Feminine energy as a way of being, not something you perform - The quiet confidence that attracts emotionally available men - How to build nervous system capacity for deep mutual love - Why being fully yourself is the most magnetic thing you can do - The difference between real clarity and lingering fear - What it actually means to feel safe being seen again Want to work with Bri and/or Courtney?

    #122: Breakups: The Inner Work (Phase 2)

    Breakups are rarely just about what ended. They often reflect who we were trying to be, what we ignored, and how we hadn’t yet learned to choose ourselves. In this episode, we walk you through the healing phase. The moment when clarity starts to return and the urge to label your ex as the problem either keeps you stuck or becomes the entry point to real growth. What We Discuss: - How to recognize a capacity mismatch in relationships - The difference between incompatibility and emotional immaturity - Why “almost” relationships can feel the hardest to release - The nervous system’s role in who we’re drawn to - Healthy accountability vs self-blame after a breakup - What it means to embody your feminine energy after loss - How emotionally available masculine men are drawn to women doing this kind of healing work Want to work with Bri and/or Courtney?

    #121: Before You Say “If I’m Too Much, Go Find Less”… Listen to This

    This episode is for the woman learning how to soften without shrinking. For the man who wants to show up in his healthy masculine energy but isn’t sure how to respond when emotions run high. We’re having a real conversation about what it means to be seen, heard, and felt without losing connection. We explore how to communicate from self-awareness instead of defense, and how to create relationships that feel safe and expressive for both the feminine and masculine. We talk about: The thin line between authenticity and reactivity How self-protection can sound a lot like empowerment but push away masculine men The loop between women who overexpress and men who under-respond The impact of feminine energy when it’s expressed clearly, not chaoticallyHow to connect from your truth while still making space for emotional safety Want to work with Bri and/or Courtney?
