Show Notes
Danny Morel joins me on The Pocket!
This conversation goes deep into emotional wounds, fear, commitment, masculine and feminine energy, and how childhood experiences shape the way men show up in relationships. We talk about why men avoid vulnerability, how chasing success can be a form of avoidance, and what it actually takes to experience real intimacy and freedom in love.
This one is confronting, honest, and powerful.
