Why does it feel like men and women are speaking completely different languages in relationships?
In this episode, I’m joined by one of my best friends, Taylor Conroy, also known as @TaylorLove.co on Instagram, for a deeply honest conversation about the misunderstandings that sit at the core of so many relationships—and why they’re more common than we think.
We talk about emotional safety—what it actually means, why it matters so much for women, and why many men don’t naturally understand that need. Taylor shares a powerful reframe on how men can begin to see these moments not as pressure, but as an opportunity to show up in a way that truly lands.
This conversation moves beyond surface-level advice and into the deeper dynamics at play between masculine and feminine energy, connection, and the subtle ways we miss each other without even realizing it.
Inside this episode:
Why emotional safety is a woman’s deepest need—and how her power lives in feeling secure enough to stay in her natural energy What happens in a relationship when a woman shifts into a more masculine role, and how that dynamic impacts both partners How this pattern creates disconnection, pressure, and the feeling of having to do more or hold everything together The opportunity for men to step into the role of the “hero,” and how showing up in a way that truly lands creates deeper trust, connection, and devotion What shifts when both people start to actually understand each other
This is the kind of conversation that has the power to change the way you see your relationship—and yourself within it.

In this conversation, Taylor and I explore the shame many men carry around their sexuality, desires, and emotional world—and how that shame quietly shapes the way they show up in relationships and within themselves. We talk about where this shame comes from, why so many men suppress parts of who they are, and what becomes possible when they finally begin to face those parts with honesty instead of judgment. I hope this conversation offers a perspective that challenges assumptions and maybe helps you see yourself—or someone you love—a little differently.
Sigrid Tasies and I sat down in Austin to talk about the armor we learn to wear as women, the versions of ourselves we keep performing, and what happens when we can’t keep doing it anymore.
In this episode, Taylor and I sit down for an unfiltered Q&A exploring the questions we get asked most often. We talk about desire, fear, relationships, self-trust, regret, and the choices that change the course of our lives. From why men are afraid of their desires to what it actually costs to choose yourself, we share our own experiences, perspectives, and the lessons we've learned along the way.
Emily and I first met 20 years ago when she began dating a childhood friend of mine. Since then, it feels like many lifetimes have passed—filled with change, growth, and profound transition—as she navigated life after her husband (and my childhood friend) passed.
Today I’m joined by Ryan Moresby-White. Ryan is devoted to helping men uncover and transform the childhood wounds that keep them from fully stepping into their power. He’s the founder of The Inspired Man, and has guided hundreds of men in reclaiming the parts of themselves that were never given space to be seen. In our conversation, we explore the dance between the masculine and feminine — what men deeply need but often don’t know how to ask for, what women may not realize we hold, and why healing the unconscious parts of ourselves is essential before stepping into partnership. This is for anyone seeking to understand the heart of masculinity, the root of relational healing, and the sacred invitation we all carry to walk one another home.
