    If you’ve ever wanted to care for your body more intentionally but felt wary of crossing into “woo woo” territory—this episode is for you. Maria and Meghan sit down with Dr. Therese Northrop, a Catholic chiropractor and long-time Theology of the Body student, for a grounded conversation on what it looks like to pursue healing without drifting into woo-woo—and without cutting your body off from your faith.

    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.
