Command Respect in Your Relationship 3 D...

Maria Fuentes
About this episode

In this episode, I’m diving deep into one of the most important elements of a healthy relationship: respect. Because love, attention, and attraction are beautiful—but if he doesn’t respect you, none of it lasts.

I share 3 things you should never do if you want to keep his respect, and 3 things you absolutely should do to feel seen, valued, and honored in your relationship. These lessons come from my own personal growth and my lived experience with women I coach every day—women like you, who want more than just love… they want devotion, depth, and emotional safety.

This isn’t about manipulation, control, or playing hard to get. It’s about embodying self-worth, communicating clearly, and knowing how to receive from your masculine partner without losing your feminine power.

Here’s what I cover in this episode:
🚫 What repels masculine respect (even in good relationships)
📵 Why attention-seeking, overgiving, or controlling backfires
🗣️ How to speak your expectations without sounding needy
💖 The power of admiration, feminine receptivity, and softness
🔥 How to keep the connection alive—emotionally and sexually
👑 Why true confidence isn’t loud… it’s deeply rooted in self-trust

This episode is for the woman who knows she’s worthy of more—and is ready to embody it.
