In this week’s podcast, I am joined by Ailey Jolie, a psychotherapist who’s work is rooted in Jungian depth psychology, relational somatics, intersectional feminism, anti-oppressive ideologies, and interpersonal neurobiology.   Ailey was born in Canada, where she grew up in the dancing, entertainment and modelling industries and later became Miss Canada. While she was in that environment, Ailey experienced a lot of sexualised violence, which led her to her personal psychotherapy and then to the work that she does today.   Ailey went to Harvard to study global mental health trauma recovery, where she met with deep thinkers who seemingly were much further along in their career. However, she noticed a deep somatic body sense of heaviness, pain and sorrow in these people who were helping the victims of horrendous trauma, and gender and sexual violence. Ailey was missing the play and the passion in this work, so she continued her search through the field of sex therapy and later really found her home in relational work. She resonated with Esther Perel’s way of thinking that the quality of relationships really resembles the quality of our life. Ailey's whole journey of relationships with others, with her body, herself, and her sexuality, is reflected in her beautiful writing.   Key topics include:  ⭐️ Is Therapy Designed for Men & the Lack of Direction for Practical Implication ⭐️ Teaching Healthy Masculine Values & the Need for Positive Role Models ⭐️ Toxic Cultural Traits & the Crisis of Masculinity   ⭐️ The Inner Work that’s Needed In Society Beyond Gender  ⭐️ Gentleness & Sensitivity in Men and the Expectation for Stoicism  ⭐️ Advice for Women on Sitting with Men’s Feelings & Avoid Psychoanalysis ⭐️ What to Do When Our Partner Doesn’t Do the Inner Work ⭐️ The Threat of Allowing Societal Notions to Get into the Relationship  ⭐️ The Importance of Asking & Clearing for Ourselves How Do We Want to Be Treated ⭐️ First Give the Love to Ourselves Before Moving Into Relational Love ⭐️ The Benefit of Sitting With the Uncomfortable Feelings and Situations ⭐️ Chemistry and Compatibility    Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: [email protected]  Newsletter: https://www.theauthenticman.net/home-subscribe    Guest: Ailey Jolie   Instagram: www.instagram.com/aileyjolie  Website: www.aileyjolie.com

In this week's mini-episode, I am exploring self-leadership, which I see so many men lacking.  So many men come to me feeling lost, stuck and hopeless; with all of those, I see a low capacity for self-leadership. Once that is cultivated, their lives radically change for the better.   ✅ I have just opened up registration for the upcoming September 2023 cohort of my 12-week programme “Being An Authentic Masculine Man”, AKA B.A.A.M.M.

In this week's, mini-episode I talk about something that underpins so much of the successful work I do with men around dating, relationships and intimacy, vulnerability.  Vulnerability is often seen as just sharing weakness, but it's much more than that.

In this week's mini-episode, I explore something that often comes up in my coaching with men, do women want less sex? And if they don't what are men doing wrong.

In this week's mini-episode, I discuss the importance of designing your relationship how you want it to be and what you should consider when deciding how you want your relationship to be.

It's been a little while since I have done a mini-episode and the reason for that is that I have been away on a couple of retreats. One of which was ISTA level 1.    I had an amazing time and a profoundly life-changing experience, and I don't use those words lightly, I really don't.   This is me talking about my experience. It's important to note that I don't talk about the rituals, exercises or other people's experiences.   Connect With David - The Authentic Man:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/  Website: https://www.theauthenticman.net/  For Coaching: [email protected]

In this week's topics, I quickly tackle an issue that was once one of my biggest dating fears, ending up in the wrong relationship.   I talk about the ways that I avoided bad and misaligned relationships.    

In this weeks mini-episode, I talk about the 4 types of sex that we have. Each varying in pleasure, connection, emotionally engagement and nurturing.    I talk about the types of sex that you don't want to me having in a relationship and how to experience the high levels of sex and why.

This weeks mini-episode inspired my own feelings and inquiry into not being good enough.   I ask the question, What if you aren't good enough?     What will happen? Can you be happy? Can you be successful? Who decides if you are good enough? What is good enough?   https://www.instagram.com/theauthenticman_/   Ilan's Shaking Video: https://youtu.be/TO2cMBkZDms

This is a little practice that I use to stop disagreements, arguments and conflicts from even happening.  This is something you do, not just something you say.  This practice will stop you from having huge blowout arguments.  

This is a special one, I am answering a question from a listener question.    The question is "Can be authentic without coming across as needy and scaring a woman of."   Everything you need to know is in the episode.   Events: https://linktr.ee/theauthenticman
