Episode Details

I break down why so many men feel like they’re “bad at relationships” and reveal the deeper truth behind that belief. I explore how your earliest experiences with your mother shape your patterns in love, from emotional unavailability to people-pleasing and chaos. I walk you through the core types of mother wounds and how they show up in your dating life. Most importantly, I give you practical steps to rewire your patterns and start building healthier, more secure relationships.
