    Why Good Men Stop Pursuing | Episode 105

    In today’s episode, we’re having an honest conversation about receptivity, respect, and why good men often stop pursuing. So many women long to be chosen, pursued, and cherished — yet have learned to survive by being hyper-independent, efficient, and closed to receiving. We talk about: Why receptivity is often misunderstood (and deeply wounded)How past hurt shapes present dating behaviorThe difference between strength and self-protectionWhy men long to contribute — and what happens when they can’tHow small shifts can open the door to real connectionThis episode is an invitation to soften — not to be passive, but to be present. If you’ve ever wondered why men don’t pursue the way you hoped… this conversation may gently shift how you see dating, men, and yourself. 💫 Doors close tomorrow for Thriving in the Space Between (our signature 6 month program) — Sat, Jan 31 at 5pm CST.

    Tomorrow morning, we open the doors to Thriving in the Space Between — and for 24 hours only, there will be a $400 flash sale for those who feel ready to say yes. If you’ve ever thought… “I’m 30… I’ve never been in a relationship… is something wrong with me?” Natalie names what so many women carry in silence — the shame, the awkwardness, the pressure, and the quiet fear that you somehow missed your chance. And then she shares what’s been shifting inside TIS: not a “fix yourself” vibe… but a deeper grounding, a new kind of hope, and the freedom to stop treating singleness like a personal failure. Natalie’s words say it best: “I’ve also always been single… and TIS has got me a little more comfortable with sharing that. That I’ve never been in a relationship… and I had a lot of shame around that.” If you need permission to breathe, to be where your feet are, and to believe God is still writing your story — this one is for you. 💫 Doors to our 6 month Program: Thriving in the Space Between open January 20 with an Early Bird discount, and close January 31. 👉🏼Explore the journey   In case it's helpful to see the full picture as you discern: Doors to Thriving in the Space Between open tomorrow, Tuesday, January 20 at 9am CT and close Saturday, January 31. We'll be offering a 24-hour Flash Sale ($400 off) starting Tuesday morning. Then there's the Early Bird ($150 off) available through Saturday, January 24. No rush — just clarity, so you can listen to what feels right for you.  📌 Before doors open, you’re invited to join us for two free live events: • January 13 @ 7pm CT — Program Overview + real stories from TIS members 👉🏼Catch the replay • January 22 @ 7pm CT — Free live workshop on Dating Without Deadline Panic Workshop  👉🏼Register here  If you’re feeling curious but unsure, you’re always welcome to hop on a Clarity Call with one of us.
