68 - Love, Hormones, and Happiness: Dr. John Gray's Guide to Nurturing Lasting Love
Are you ready to unlock a deeper connection, enhance intimacy, and create lasting happiness with your love partner? Join us on the Potential to Powerhouse podcast, as we delve into the world of hormonal dynamics and practical strategies for relationship success. Best-selling author, Dr. John Gray, of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, unveils the secrets to understanding and balancing feminine and masculine energy in relationships in his discussion with Tracy Holland. These are tips for any woman seeking a deeper connection with her male love partner both in life and in the bedroom!
Dr. John Gray describes the polarity between feminine and masculine energy in relationships and emphasizes the impact of hormones on the dynamic between partners, especially with high-performing powerhouse women, who are driving hard. Hormones are influential to the relationship dynamic…
Dr. Gray highlights the importance of allowing partners to reset and give to themselves (here is a big hint!) when men pull away, it biologically increases your estrogen (and your questions around why?!). What should you do? It's time to go to the spa, and engage in activities that nourish yourself, (hint again – do not pursue him or chase him down, unless you want him to withdraw further).
Did you know that your female hormonal balances, specifically estrogen and progesterone, are crucial for your happiness, (and making a baby!), feeling orgasmic, and having positive feelings about your life? Yep, this is important stuff friends.
Dr. Gray suggests balancing one's male and female energy in a relationship and discussing activities for both partners after men's periods of ‘retreat’ and cave time. If you have no idea what I am talking about, I suggest picking up a copy of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, In the Bedroom.
Work-life balance is crucial for maintaining healthy hormone levels and relationships, work hard by day, but friends, when you get home, ease into your best feminine self.
Ladies, listen to this, over-giving to a partner can lead to resentment and an imbalance of your testosterone levels, emphasizing the importance of balancing masculine and feminine aspects in relationships.
To increase estrogen levels, ask your partner for reassurance and ask him for what you need, this can be crucial in relationships, particularly for women, and embracing feminine energy and reassurance can deepen intimacy (hint: it increases his testosterone when you ask for help).
Emotional vulnerability is vital for creating a more intimate and supportive environment in relationships.
Emotional reassurance is essential for making love, (women generally need to feel safe and secure) and low estrogen levels can affect women's orgasms. Focusing on emotional vulnerability can help improve intimacy and integrate feminine and masculine aspects in relationships, increasing your estrogen and making intimacy more delicious.
It's time to ignite your relationship, balance your energy, and experience the love and happiness you both deserve. Let's do it friends! High five. -
