The Eye of the Storm

The quality of your relationships is the single most important thing for your health and happiness. Relationships are more important than exercise, nutrition, sleep, and even your genetics. 

But there are many men silently struggling with their relationships. 

we tend to shy away from our most vulnerable emotions, and by doing so we actually prevent ourselves from creating a “higher love relationship,” where every day your relationship plants new seeds of happiness, love, and connection. 

Not to mention, without a foundation of self-love, true love and connection evades us (even if we have a successful career, good finances, and an enviable physique). 

That’s why I invited Emilio Palafox, the founder of Relationship Renegades, onto today’s show of the Better Man Podcast. After hitting rock bottom, Emilio recognized that he didn’t love himself, and went on a journey to restore his self-love. 

The result?

He came out of rock bottom with a new perspective, which unlocked a level of connection and love in his relationships that he never experienced before. Now he’s sharing his relationship secrets with you… 

In this episode, Emilio and I discuss: 

• Why triggers are gifts that can deepen your relationship with your partner 
• Scientifically proven ways to feel more connection and love in all your relationships
• Why men need other men to “break” around and show their vulnerable side 
• The 3 most important foundational seeds you must plant if you want your relationship to blossom 

And so much more.
