Episode #195: Ryan Moresby-White: You're not his girlfriend. You're his initiation.

0:00 1:26:40

He was a little boy. You were the woman who paid for it.

You didn't fall in love with a man. You fell in love with a seven year old who hadn't grieved his childhood yet.

And until he does, he will sabotage every relationship that gets close enough to matter.

Ryan Moresby-White works with hundreds of men, fathers, CEOs, men in their 70s, helping them do the one thing society never taught them: grieve. He's built a multi-million dollar company doing it. And he's one of the most embodied, present men I've ever sat across from.

In this episode, Ryan gets completely honest about the relationship he lost because of his own unresolved wounds, the four hours he spent on a bathroom floor in Bali vomiting after she left, and the nine months on the grass on the Sunshine Coast that changed everything.

This is the episode I made for the women in my world who are tired of carrying men who don't know they're still boys. And it's for the men who are ready to find out.

What we get into:

•

Why most men are emotionally operating as 7-year-olds, and what to do about it

•

The real reason men sabotage relationships (it has nothing to do with you)

•

The post-breakup level up, and the two very different paths it leads to

•

How to support a man on his healing journey without becoming his mother

•

What a truly safe man looks like, and why he can feel so confronting
