    You do need a man

    “I don’t need a man, I just want one.”  It sounds empowering… but what if it’s actually another layer of protection? In this episode, love & intimacy mentor Shilpa Cacho unpacks the cultural mantra of not needing a man and shares why, as a healed, self-loving woman, it’s actually safe to say: “I do need a good man, not to complete me, but to expand me.” Through her own story of divorce, healing, and remarrying, plus honest reflections about her current marriage, Shilpa explores: The hidden fear and self-protection behind “I don’t need a man”The difference between needing a man from wounding and desperation vs needing a man from wholeness and desireHow a healthy, masculine partner deepens your softness, joy, safety, and freedomWhy feminine women feel different (and more themselves) when they’re with a truly protective, present manThe impact of provision, emotional leadership, and masculine protection on your nervous systemHow old stories from your past (and even your first marriage) can make nurturing, domestic roles feel like obligation instead of devotionReal-life examples, including Shilpa’s sister who married in her 40s and softened into a happier, more feminine version of herselfThis episode is a loving permission slip to admit you do want — and yes, in many ways need — a man who is your partner, protector, and soulmate… not because you’re incomplete, but because you were never meant to do life alone. If you’re ready to call in your own Soul Husband and learn how to soften without losing yourself, this conversation will challenge your beliefs, melt your defenses, and open your heart to a new way of seeing love.

    Why People Judge You (and What It Teaches About Love & Self-Worth)

    In this powerful episode, Shilpa Cacho unpacks one of the deepest fears that keeps women small: the fear of being judged, misunderstood, or even hated when you allow yourself to be truly seen. She shares her personal story of being shunned after divorce, investing in a mentor who was out of alignment, and what studying public figures taught her about projection, opinions, and perception. Through these lessons, Shilpa reveals how our own wounds and biases shape how we see others and how this same dynamic plays out in dating, love, and relationships. Inside you’ll discover: Why people project their wounds onto you (and why it’s never about you). How fear of being disliked holds women back from love and leadership. The survival-based lens vs. conscious awareness in relationships. Why showing up with curiosity instead of judgment is the key to intimacy. How hiding parts of yourself blocks deep, soul-level love. Whether you’re navigating online dating, stepping into feminine magnetism, or rising as a leader, this episode will help you heal your relationship with judgment, reclaim your self-worth, and embody the woman who is safe to be fully seen and deeply loved. ✨ Plus, Shilpa shares details of her Femme Magnetism Training ($33), a 3-step audio reset designed to help women instantly shift how men treat them, embody feminine softness without losing power, and attract Queen treatment from men.
