    Burnout, mental load, resentment, feminine essence, masculine presence—why so many women feel unseen (and how couples reconnect fast).There are so many women and mothers today who are wrung out—tired, irritable, overburdened, underappreciated, and quietly nearing the point of giving up. And there are so many partners who are trying, yet still feeling “never enough.”In this episode, I’m your brother and ally.

  • Conscious Cock:Soft, Slow, Sacred

    Conscious Cock:Soft, Slow, Sacred
    Dec 4 2025

    This is not a conversation about sex — it’s a conversation about awakening.


    In this episode, we sit down with Emily and Rob for one of the most honest, soul-rattling explorations of sexuality, shame, intimacy, and true erotic awakening.


    We uncover:

    • What parasympathetic / yin sex really is

    • How to move from friction-based sex to regenerative lovemaking

    • The meaning of “conscious cock” and why soft penetration can create more pleasure

    • Why women feel numb — and how to reawaken the cervix, womb, and erotic system

    • How men can dissolve shame, pressure, performance anxiety, and inherited porn conditioning

    • How to reconnect cock + heart

    • How betrayal can become an initiation into deeper intimacy

    • Why receiving is the hardest — and most transformative — practice for men

    • How couples can build a relationship where sex is emotional, spiritual, and deeply connective

    • Whether you’re a man, woman, or couple, this episode will change the way you see intimacy forever.

  • How to Know When to Leave Your Relationship

    How to Know When to Leave Your Relationship
    Nov 29 2025

    If you’ve been feeling confused, disconnected, or stuck in the “should I stay or should I go?” loop, this is one of the most important relationship episodes you’ll ever hear. Millions of people search for clarity around leaving a relationship because unresolved uncertainty creates emotional distress, nervous system dysregulation, and a chronic sense of instability in the bond. In conscious partnership, clarity, commitment, emotional safety, and direction are essential for healthy attachment, secure love, and real connection.

    In this powerful episode, Mike & Courtney guide you through the psychology behind feeling half-in/half-out, why this state quietly destroys relationships, how to identify deal-breakers, and how to know whether your partnership is meant to evolve or dissolve. They also share deeply personal stories about their past relationships, trauma patterns, attachment wounds, and what mature love looks like when clarity finally arrives.


    🌿 In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why “one foot in, one foot out” is emotionally and physically damaging

    • The difference between discomfort and real deal-breakers

    • How to find clarity when you’re terrified of choosing

    • Why honesty (with self and partner) is the key to maturity

    • What sacred devotion looks like—even when the relationship must end

    • How to exit with love instead of drama
