In the media and on social media, we hear plenty of people talking about “toxic masculinity”. However, we don’t hear many talking about “healthy masculinity”. I think we should be and need to talk about “healthy masculinity” and we’re going to kick that discussion off right here, with my guest Frank Paul Vignola. He is a man’s life coach and he is the author of Crafting Masculinity. We invite you to join us for our discussion about his story, his coaching, and how to have healthy masculinity. (Replay times and the replayer will be posted below in case you miss the premiere. www.lovecoachjourney.com/craftingmasculinity)

“I do not have the answers, but I have the right questions to help people find the answers for themselves.”
That is one of the most empowering statements I have ever heard and it’s part of tonight’s show. It was made by Master Joshua during our interview. He works with people to help them rid themselves of shame and to discover themselves.
“The experiences we’ll share, you and I, form a process of self-actualization. This process isn’t about achieving goals or overcoming obstacles, though that’s often a part of it. The actualization I speak of entails embracing who you are on one hand, and becoming who you need to be on the other.”
I hope you will join us for this fascinating conversation. -

What is Somatic Pleasure? I am going all the way to Hawaii to find a great resource for the answer to that interesting and sensual question. His name is James Humecky and he brings decades of experience to the profession. I recently met James and knew he had to be a guest on Ready for Love Radio. He has so much great wisdom to share with us. We will begin to tap into that wisdom on this show and start to get to know him.

We’ll dig into this and much more on the show. Join us and if you can’t, definitely check out the replay which will be posted on www.lovecoachjourney.com/somaticpleasure.

Do any of these things sound familiar? “The first sign things were not completely right was highlighted shortly after having children when physical symptoms appeared including a lack of restful, good-quality sleep and general lack of ability to function “normally”. As with a great number of new moms, I put it down to having 2 young children and a husband who worked away from Monday to Friday and spent much of the weekend pursuing his own interests.
In around 2013 things intensified and I found myself needing 3-hour naps in the afternoon to get through the day – a very unlikely behavior for someone who was usually a motivated, self-starter with loads of energy. As with many people in our modern life, I ignored the signs and pushed on through putting it down to the “changing weather” or a “phase” I was going through.”
My guest, Amanda Kate, found the answers and much more. We’ll share them with you on this show – premiering Thursday, March 2nd, 2023 at 9 pm ET/6 pm PT (US). The recording will be posted below at 10 pm ET, right after the show ends. -

What does it take for a healthy and successful long-term relationship? Love, respect, passion, equality, partnership, money, lots of material possessions, children, I could go on all day listing possible things that could be the things that are needed – and I’m sure everyone that reads this has definite ideas about what is and is not needed. And, there are many different perspectives about what is right and wrong about what is needed. This week, my guest, Andre Paradis and I, discuss his perspective on what is needed to have a successful long-term relationship. I welcome your thoughts in the comment section of the show page (www.lovecoachjourney.com/projectequinox) about our discussion.
