My Thoughts on Barbie

The Barbie movie is now a billion dollar phenomenon – with good reason. It’s a movie told from a woman’s point of view that is unabashedly feminist but fairminded in how it treats its other protagonist, Ken. While it’s visually stunning and the soundtrack is fun, there’s a deeper message about gender roles, expectations, society and romantic relationships. This is my hot take – nearly a month after most of the other hot takes came out.

Are You Afraid to Share Your Truth With Him?

Have you ever been in a relationship where you are afraid of speaking your mind? Where every disagreement produces high anxiety because if you speak up, it could cause a fight, he could lash out, or he might even break up with you? It may be common but it sure isn’t healthy. Good relationships are strong enough to handle respectful disagreement because no disagreement should be big enough to rupture your partnership. If working things out quickly and calmly sounds like a foreign concept to you, stick around for this latest Love U Podcast.

You’re Probably Passing Up Your Soulmate

After many years on Earth, it’s common to feel like you know what you like and what kind of partner would work for you. The problem is that the more we get ground in to looking for our “type” (which is usually the opposite sex version of you), the fewer people qualify and you end up alone.

In Love U, we flip that script and learn to date on the margins – opening up to people who are slightly outside our parameters – a few inches shorter, a few years older, potentially different education, income, politics and religion – and voila! My wife and I would have passed each other up online; let’s make sure you don’t make such a colossal mistake yourself.

10 Ways Your Anxiety Drives Him Away

It’s normal to feel anxious about dating. Too many men are selfish, emotionally unavailable, and incapable of making you feel secure. But when you find a secure man who treats you well, your anxiety can be a real detriment. When you treat a nice, consistent guy as if he’s a constant threat to hurt you or abandon you, most of those nice guys will eventually find it tiring. In this Love U Podcast, we explore the many ways in which anxiety surfaces in a relationship so you can finally forge a bond with a man that is meant to last.

Why High-Achieving Women Struggle With Feminine Energy Guys

Masculinity is suddenly a hot topic in America. Is masculinity – aggression, decisiveness, ego – inherently toxic? Would men be better off acting more like women? If so, what does that mean for women who remain attracted to stereotypically masculine men? This is a common theme of my coaching in Love U and in this podcast, I wanted to share some of the insights and inherent contradictions in being a Type A woman who wants a man who is more “man” than she is, but bristles at the idea of being with a more passive, easygoing guy. This is a good one. Stick around.

Do Women Lie More Than Men?

Yes, it’s a provocative title. But there’s some science underlying it. Because women are more sensitive to each others’ needs and emotional cues, they’re often more likely to withhold the truth.

Think of all the times you didn’t speak your mind to your boyfriends (or tell your girlfriends what they really needed to hear). And because you don’t always speak your truth – out of politeness or fear – you may have a hard time believing it when he says something like “I’m not looking for anything serious right now” or “I don’t ever want to get married again.”

In the second half of the podcast, we talk about basic conversational differences between men and women, as outlined by feminist author, Deborah Tannen. It’s a challenging, interesting, and important conversation.

How Often Should You Hear from Your Guy

One of the biggest complaints I get about men is about their inconsistency – both when dating and in relationships. So what’s a reasonable amount of contact to expect from guys? Well, it all depends on how long you’ve been seeing each other.

That’s why, in this Love U Podcast, I’ve broken dating into three phases: the first couple of weeks, when you’ve been dating 3-5 weeks, and when you’re officially boyfriend/girlfriend. Once you know how a good boyfriend acts, you’ll have no tolerance for accepting less from men.

How You Can Make Men Slow Down Physically

When it comes to sex, men usually seek speed and women prioritize comfort. If men push too hard early on, women will often shut down. Similarly, if a woman slows down so much that he feels unattractive, it’s bound to backfire as well.

That’s why, in this Love U Podcast, I’m going to outline specifically how women can slow down men to the point that you feel comfortable, but keep things moving fast enough that he feels connected to you and excited to spend more time with you.

Since so many burgeoning relationships break up in the first month around sex, it really helps if you know how to pace yourself so that his attraction can turn into a commitment.
