Why Career-Focused Women Struggle to Find Love (and What Men Miss About Partnership)
On this episode of The Partnership Podcast, Trey asks Lauren about the career-focused women she works with—are they struggling to find partners, and why? Lauren’s answer may surprise you (and you’ll have to listen to see if she chose the unfiltered or the compassionate version).
Together, Trey and Lauren explore the dating challenges ambitious women face, why many men resist accountability, and how women and men often enter coaching from very different motivations. Lauren shares a tearful reflection on what Trey provides her—calling him her “soft place to land”—and why deep support, joy, and emotional presence matter just as much as great sex.
She also celebrates the men she does get to work with—those hungry for tools to love women better—and why this feels deeply restorative and healing. To close, Lauren offers a trauma-informed perspective: that many men’s avoidant behaviors are safety-seeking strategies learned in childhood.
This conversation reframes what some call “high-value women” and clarifies what truly matters in creating the kind of partnership career-focused women are longing for.
