🌿 You’ll learn:

• How to know if your “closeness” has crossed into codependence

• What healthy interdependence looks and feels like

In this solo episode, Courtney takes us deep into one of the most tender pain points in relationships: what happens when the feminine doesn’t feel held in her emotions.

From defensiveness to shutdown, many women know the heartbreak of trying to share their feelings—only to feel unmet, unheard, or “too much.” But there’s a different way.

🌿 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The myth of what it means to be “fully expressed”

• How to create internal boundaries that honor your feelings without unleashing raw emotion at your partner

• How to set containers for deeper conversations that actually get heard

• The feminine’s role in cultivating safety, expression, and grace in sacred relationship

• Practical tools for self-tending: movement, sound, inner child work, and sisterhood

Most fathers are taught to put the mission first. To provide, achieve, and sacrifice time at home for the sake of the family. But what if that conditioning is costing us the very connection our children need most?

In this vulnerable solo episode, Mike shares his own awakening as a father — realizing that presence is more valuable than being the “hero.” He explores why the first three years of a child’s life are so critical, how a father’s nervous system imprints on his kids, and why shared family presence is the foundation of love, belonging, and resilience.

🌿 You’ll learn:

• Why children don’t need a hero — they need your presence

• The irreplaceable role of fathers in early childhood

• How presence impacts your partner, your kids, and your shared nervous system

• Why the “mission first” mentality creates regret later in lifeHow to shift your mission to include family without losing purpose
