#71 | What’s Behind the Female Desire for Male Guidance?

About This Episode

There’s that moment in the film when the woman turns to the man during a crisis and says, “what are we going to do now?” Contrary to mainstream beliefs that say this makes women look helpless, this is actually the instinctual female desire to be guided at play here.

I get into our survival instincts and how and why relationships play such a big role for women. I dive into detail about diffused awareness and how it works in real life with a few examples. I cover an important yin/yang principle that celebrates the richness of both masculine and feminine strengths and weaknesses and how they help each other. Finally I identify some of the ways that men can step in and provide the guidance many women are looking for in the midst of overwhelm.
