About this episode

Relationship expert Alison Armstrong explores the profound dynamics of relationships and their role in personal evolution. She delves into key insights about understanding men, addressing common misconceptions that women may have. She unpacks how masculine and feminine energies commonly interact in our society, as well as the influence of hormones on our behaviors and perspectives.

Alison highlights the subtle behaviors women exhibit as requests for safety in their relationships, emphasizing how feelings of emasculation can undermine intimacy and connection. And how by harnessing the power of acknowledgement and appreciation, we can strengthen bonds in relationships. 

She provides powerful insights on how to learn to receive love and recognition, step into their inner king or queen, and embrace the beauty of aging with grace.
