In this powerful episode of Elevate With Sage, we’re flipping the mirror and asking the hard question: Could you be the toxic one?

We take a real, unfiltered look at the common toxic traits men and women bring into relationships — from emotional withdrawal, manipulation, and passive-aggression to blame-shifting, control, and ego-based shutdowns.

This episode isn’t about shaming — it’s about growing. It’s about owning your patterns, understanding your partner’s pain, and choosing healing over pride.

Whether you’re the one causing harm or the one trying to love someone who is… this episode will help you see yourself and your relationships in a brand new way.

🔥 Real talk.

In this powerful follow-up to Episode 4, Sage dives deep into the emotional world many men were never taught to explore. Why Men Shut Down: The Silent Side of Emotional Intelligence uncovers the childhood conditioning, unspoken trauma, and relationship breakdowns that lead men to emotionally withdraw — even when they still show up physically.

This episode speaks directly to men who’ve been told to “man up,” and to the women who’ve been left trying to connect with a partner who’s emotionally unavailable.

🎯 Inside this episode:

• Why emotional shutdown is learned, not weakness

• Real-world stats on men, emotional health, and suicide

• How unhealed trauma shows up as silence

• What your partner and kids feel when you emotionally check out

• Tools to stop shutting down and start showing up

• A real listener letter that hits home

• Reflection prompts that will change how you see yourself

Whether you're a man learning how to reconnect with your emotions, or someone loving a man who goes silent — this episode is for you.

You’re not broken. You’re just learning what you were never taught.
And healing starts here.

In this powerful episode of Elevate With Sage, we dive deep into the truth about emotional intelligence — what it is, why it matters, and how a lack of it can quietly destroy your relationships, your family, and your peace. From marriage struggles to generational trauma, I share my personal journey of learning to lead with emotional maturity, self-awareness, and love.

If you've ever found yourself emotionally disconnected, frustrated, or unsure how to communicate what you’re feeling — this episode is for you.

We explore:

• What emotional intelligence (EI) really means

• The impact of emotional unavailability on love, marriage, and parenting

• How to begin healing and rebuilding trust

• Tools to regulate your emotions, speak with clarity, and lead with presence

• How EI can unlock peace, purpose, and personal freedom

I’m not coming from a place of perfection — I’m still learning and growing myself. But one thing I know for sure: emotional intelligence is real power, and this won’t be the last time we tap into it on this podcast.

Whether you’re a man working to become a better leader, a woman looking to feel seen and heard, or someone healing generational wounds — this episode will speak to your soul.
