Do you want a fulfilling, loving relationship? Have you ever thought about why it’s so difficult to maintain one once you’ve found it? What if our current society’s model is broken? In this episode with world-renowned author and relationship expert Dr. Pat Allen, we take a brutally honest look at how far off track men and women have gotten when it comes to our gender roles and how it has effected attraction, chemistry, and intimacy.
Prepare yourself for some hard truths, and please be advised to leave your preconceived ideas and social conditioning behind. Dr. Allen will likely call into question some of your most cherished beliefs regarding the masculine and feminine energy positions currently accepted by most people in our modern Western culture. She’s arrived at some of her seemingly radical theories through the study and practice of hard science, as well as through her 42 years of counseling couples around the globe. She’s likely got answers to some of your most perplexing questions, so get ready to learn the game of love with a healthy dose of 'tough love.’
Yours truly,
Luke
