If you missed out, rewind to catch up, because today, we're going even deeper.Ever wonder why men often retreat into silence rather than share their feelings? How do past behaviors influence the way men communicate and express themselves? What boundaries should never be crossed and why? We're exploring these questions and more!Join us as we discuss the risks and rewards of emotional openness. We expose how societal expectations and negative reactions can prompt men to close off, impacting their self-esteem and roles within their relationships. We navigate through the delicate interplay of respect and expression, scrutinizing how both partners’ behaviors affect the emotional ecosystem and the importance of ongoing dialogue for a thriving bond.And stay tuned - next week, we're shifting the focus to the challenges that women encounter when carving out their own safe spaces, making this a truly comprehensive exploration that will encourage both parties to support one another in the most appropriate ways.Send us your questions and/or topic suggestions hereLike, share, follow and rate the podcast!
