#191: Deeper Dating and a New Map to Love – Ken Page

If you are struggling with dating, you may be caught in old paradigms, beliefs and habits that stop REAL love from igniting and staying strong over time. Today's Man Alive podcast guest is a brilliant and open-hearted therapist, podcast host, and creator of the Deeper Dating platform -- where people connect with others who are interested in experiencing love and dating in a genuine way.  There are many outdated ideas about love and relationships that cause a lot of pain and struggle in this modern day world. Men often tell me they feel the weight of expectations to look and act certain ways, to try to be who they think women want them to be.   The good news is that times are changing. From dating, all the way to business, authenticity and vulnerability are being welcomed more and more. You no longer have to be the rock, or the "got it all together" man to be respected or admired. You can relax and allow more of your humanity!  In this episode, we discussed: Why your strongest attractions can lead you astray Attractions of deprivation vs inspiration The gift-wound defense matrix and how your biggest wounds reveal your core gifts How attraction ebbs and flows in dating and relationships and what to do about it The 7 skills of deeper dating Ken says, "If we only focus on immediate attraction, we may well end up unhappy. But if we prioritize the importance of deep emotional safety, our chance of finding real love expands powerfully.”    Connect with Ken Page https://deeperdatingpodcast.com/ Connect with Shana James    shanajamescoaching.com/3ways   Curious what you’d need to become a better leader and lover? Take the quiz For Women: Modern dating doesn’t have to be a nightmare for women

#188: Dating Sucks But You Don't – Connell Barrett

Today's guest, Connell Barrett, has a mission to help men attract a soulmate while being authentic and confident. He is the founder of Dating Transformation and shows men a new way to date with his new book, Dating Sucks But You Don’t.  We all know dating can be challenging. And as you get older it can become more challenging. Your body may not work the way it used to. You may not know what women are looking for as they get older. Online dating can be confusing and exhausting as you try to present yourself in a way that stands out.   But one of the hardest parts many of my clients talk about is the self-doubt dating tends to bring up. It can make you question yourself and your worth, even if you normally don't.  In this episode, we discussed: Why Nice Guys finish first, not last How you can use a great mindset to attract women, instead of a great line  Focusing on connection rather than conquest  Using courage as the currency to buy you confidence Why you get to be uniquely you, rather than trying to be who you think a woman wants Also, if you haven’t yet registered for next week’s FREE event — the REAL ATTRACTION REBOOT — don’t miss it!   >>Learn more about the Reboot and register here!

#187: How to Persevere Through Pain – Richard Hanbury

After a crazy accident where he drove off a bridge, today's Man Alive Podcast guest was  paralyzed from the waist down. He had such severe nerve pain that he was given a life expectancy of only a few years (similar to Christopher Reeves). Miraculously, while watching a movie in the hospital, his understanding of pain changed and he set out on a quest to relieve his, and others', pain.    Richard Hanbury has experienced more pain than many of us will in a lifetime, but the important part is he did not give up. Amazingly he created a device that allows people to enter into the brain states that long term meditators reach to relieve many types of pain, sometimes even forever! His nerve pain has not returned in the years since the development. In this important episode, we discussed: How psychological and physical pain manifest and can feed into addictions Suggestions for more clarity and relief from pain -- physical and emotional  The most important thing to do for yourself as a CEO Richard's story of paralysis and his diagnosis The device Richard created that took away his nerve pain in three months I highly suggest listening to this episode for a dose of possibility and a reboot of courage and strength. Richard is one of the most inspiring humans I've met. To come through such intense pain and then use it to be in service of healing others is an extraordinary feat.    Speaking of Reboot, if you haven't yet registered for next week's FREE event -- the Real Attraction Reboot, don't miss it!   >>Learn more about the Reboot and register here!
