The Woman I Raised, The Man She Chose: A...

Dr. Amanda Hanson
About this episode

For generations, women have been taught to quiet themselves in love - to shrink, to compromise, to hold the emotional weight of the relationship while asking for so little in return.

But something is changing.

In this episode, I sit with my daughter Ava, and with the man she chose, Chris,
and together we step into a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like a blessing. What they are building together is not naïve young love - it is intentional, emotionally intelligent, a deeply human partnership.

What unfolds in this conversation is not perfection.
It is evolution.

It is a story of a young woman who would not abandon her truth, and a young man who chose to rise and meet her. A story of the next generation doing what so many before them could not: building a relationship from intention rather than inheritance.

Inside this episode, we explore:

  • What happens when a young woman refuses to abandon her values in order to be loved.
  • What it looks like when a man chooses curiosity over defensiveness - and growth over comfort.
  • The importance of accountability, communication, and repair in healthy partnership.
  • How generational healing happens through the relationships our children create.
  • The power of raising boys - and men - to listen, witness, and emotionally attune.
  • Why the next generation of love demands emotional intelligence, not perfection.

This is not just a relationship conversation.
It is a generational conversation. It is a window into what becomes possible when daughters are raised to honor themselves, and when sons are encouraged to feel deeply rather than armor up. It is the embodiment of the evolution so many of us have prayed for.

It is proof that the next generation is not waiting for change.

They are creating it.

If this episode moves you, share it with your daughters, your sons, your partners, or the people in your life who are crafting their own path in love.

And if you are ready to deepen into your own becoming - to soften, awaken, and rise - join me at MAGNETIC in Phoenix, December 5–6.

The next generation is rising.
Let us rise with them.
