Ep. 38 What men want. Is it really what we think it is? w/ Nick Gemmell

Published on: 29th April, 2021

Enjoy a powerful Interview with Nick Gemmell.

Conversations between men and women have to happen in order for us to enjoy more resilient relationships.

my believe is:

Power games are leading to nowhere.

Showing up like 'a man' as 'a women' will just intensify the problems

Let's stop the blaming and shaming and come back to

what do we need?

with love and

deep appreciation

Hello, and

Unknown:

welcome to the Borealis experience today an interview

Unknown:

for you with Nick, gamma, and myself. And the topic is what

Unknown:

women want what guys want, from our perspective from our

Unknown:

experiences? Yeah, I think it's very important to, to talk about

Unknown:

it. And Nick kept posting things in that direction on Facebook.

Unknown:

So we decided to make an episode about it and steer up some shed.

Unknown:

or clear up some confusion because actually, there's lots

Unknown:

of mixed messages out there. And it is just me and my perspective

Unknown:

as a female. Of course, we're not generalizing, or Yes, we

Unknown:

are. Because it's fun. And, but we are aware that not every

Unknown:

female things like I do, and not every man, things like Nick

Unknown:

does. But yeah, we thought it was a fun topic to talk about.

Unknown:

And, yeah, let's, let's dive into this neck. You've been

Unknown:

married? We know that from episode number one with you, and

Unknown:

you maybe dated before you were married? Or maybe dating now. Is

Unknown:

there like, Do you notice any changes in dating, when it came

Unknown:

to your, let's say 20s or teens to now? What What would you say

Unknown:

is the biggest difference?

Unknown:

No, that's, that's very interesting. And thanks for

Unknown:

having me on the show. Again, this is great. And I would I

Unknown:

didn't date too much before I got married to be honest. So and

Unknown:

what I had had for relationships before that, were very, yeah,

Unknown:

one was very toxic. One was very toxic. And, and that would have

Unknown:

been the longest, the longest term one and be almost two

Unknown:

years, I think we were together. And, but that was very toxic.

Unknown:

But the differences I would say now in dating, again, is it's

Unknown:

just easy to throw away. Relationships now. And I say

Unknown:

that in, in the meaning of with the swipe mentality, it's just

Unknown:

easy to go on to the next. And in order to build a connection,

Unknown:

we need time, and we need to be able to see each other. But when

Unknown:

it's so easy that the next best thing comes across in your

Unknown:

profile, that, that it's just so easy just to go on to the next

Unknown:

one. And when something's not going our way, especially, you

Unknown:

know, it was like it was definitely hard to begin with.

Unknown:

And now with the COVID bullshit, where we're forced to be distant

Unknown:

A lot of times, and so takes a lot of work. So much work. And

Unknown:

with the swipe mentality, man, it's especially, you know, if

Unknown:

your partner or someone you want to pursue is, you know, hundreds

Unknown:

of kilometers away, well, it's not gonna work out very well,

Unknown:

when you can swipe the next person that's 20 kilometers

Unknown:

away. And you think that that's the next best thing. So I feel

Unknown:

that's one of the harder things that's happening right now is

Unknown:

just the swipe mentality is the left, right. It's not, it's not

Unknown:

helping the situation at all.

Unknown:

Yeah, and I feel even people who wouldn't have used Tinder or

Unknown:

other apps before COVID. Now God may be curious or so frustrated

Unknown:

that they got into that, like game or mentality too. And yeah,

Unknown:

it is more and more people who, like the quick and fast and

Unknown:

easy. And then but not so much depth. Is there and yeah, it's

Unknown:

harming us both, like both sides, right?

Unknown:

Absolutely. They instant gratification will say right,

Unknown:

like where someone, you know, a little bit better looking that

Unknown:

we think right comes across and we're like, yeah, this is great,

Unknown:

where you actually had a connection with the other person

Unknown:

and you totally discarded it for a physical attraction that you

Unknown:

think in your mind is going to be able to be be your future

Unknown:

partner, right? You haven't even sparked the conversation with

Unknown:

him or her And, yeah, it's just amazing, but so hard.

Unknown:

Yeah. So now if we look into what what people want, what

Unknown:

would you think is the number one thing that women are

Unknown:

communicating they want? And is there sometimes that situation

Unknown:

where you feel confused where you feel like, well, she

Unknown:

communicated this to me very clearly. And now all of a

Unknown:

sudden, she wants something else. Like, do you know what I

Unknown:

mean? Oh,

Unknown:

I've had quite a few, quite a few that wanted, or that was

Unknown:

open to being very honest. And my, my whole thing, and what I

Unknown:

teach people, and especially men is to, say your feelings and,

Unknown:

and be, but it can cause a lot of problems when, when people

Unknown:

say they want that. That's, like when women say they want that,

Unknown:

but then they don't know how to process it. They've never, you

Unknown:

know, they haven't had a lot of men open up to them. And then

Unknown:

they get frightened. When you're starting to tell them why, why

Unknown:

something that that they did, you know, rather than just the

Unknown:

typical anger, or the typical, you know, snarky comments, you

Unknown:

know, that they would get from, from other men now, it's like,

Unknown:

hey, that made me feel that that made me it's hard to process

Unknown:

when you're not used to it. And so that was that I would say,

Unknown:

that was a big thing. And dating now, when women say that they

Unknown:

want a relationship, and it goes back to the swipe right, swipe

Unknown:

left, you get into it, and they just wanted a good time. And

Unknown:

it's just so easy, you know, so easy to move on. And no, that's

Unknown:

so that's that's happened more than once more than once. So,

Unknown:

it's very tough, but I've been guilty of it as well. Because

Unknown:

that's just the mentality of it. And I'm not. I'm not holding any

Unknown:

blame. But it is very hard when you when you get into something

Unknown:

and you feel like yes, this could be a relationship. But

Unknown:

then a week later, oh, I'm just not ready to be committed. I'm

Unknown:

not ready to be in a committed relationship.

Unknown:

Mm hmm.

Unknown:

What? What this whole poly amorous? Yeah, that's what it's

Unknown:

called. Right? The polyamorous thing like, you find out like

Unknown:

two weeks into spending time with somebody that that's their

Unknown:

thing of where did that come from? Like, is this a thing?

Unknown:

Right? Yeah.

Unknown:

Yeah. I think I have to withhold my opinion when it comes to poly

Unknown:

polyamory, cuz I would upset too many people. But I like what I

Unknown:

see or understand when you say this is that I like I don't know

Unknown:

you well, but I saw you. Or I know your story a little bit

Unknown:

that you rose, and are now a very clear, open hearted and

Unknown:

minded person who communicates. And that's so freakin scary.

Unknown:

When you meet someone who from the outside looks like she has

Unknown:

it all together. But all of a sudden, like, you know, like, Oh

Unknown:

my God, he's gonna cut through my bullshit. And I don't know if

Unknown:

I'm ready for that. Of course, she's gonna pick the next best

Unknown:

guy who she knows he's gonna fuck her brains out. Sorry to

Unknown:

say that and not touch her in any way. So that's the only

Unknown:

thing I want to add to what you just said it has nothing to do

Unknown:

with you. Or Yes, it has something to do with you

Unknown:

challenge people too much. And

Unknown:

no, absolutely.

Unknown:

And I feel I feel the women, the woman that is going to be able

Unknown:

to, to communicate back and to be open with you is not going to

Unknown:

be on Tinder because on Tinder. It's sorry to judge but it's

Unknown:

mainly people who want to stay in their like little shell and

Unknown:

not open up but still connect and still have the physicality

Unknown:

and wow. And then I think like for you guys, it's so unfair,

Unknown:

because now you think or feel like I'm open and communicative.

Unknown:

And that's what a women what women want. And now women freak

Unknown:

out and are like, Oh no, we're not ready. For this, so what?

Unknown:

Yes, yeah, yeah. And so it's very,

Unknown:

yeah, no, sorry.

Unknown:

Oh, it's just very Yeah, that part of it is very hard. And so

Unknown:

I'm very upfront personally with, you know, even starting a

Unknown:

call when I start to converse with somebody, like, this is the

Unknown:

way I am and. And it may be a problem. I'll just put it right

Unknown:

out, right? Like this might be a problem for this reason. But I'd

Unknown:

like to pursue and see, right, especially if I find so many

Unknown:

people that are so many women that call themselves will say,

Unknown:

for lack of better word woke, or aware. But then once you spend

Unknown:

one on one time with them, it's a complete train wreck. Yeah,

Unknown:

you know, not all of them. But it can be like, there's so many

Unknown:

demons that people have nowadays. And that's cool,

Unknown:

because they're actually aware of it. But they, it's not

Unknown:

dealing with it in a positive way. A lot of ways and going

Unknown:

back to calling out and in the bullshit. It's very hard, right?

Unknown:

So when you're dating, how do you like, I don't want to coach

Unknown:

anybody that's, and I'm not perfect by any means. I still

Unknown:

fall into these patterns, habits, behaviors, but I catch

Unknown:

myself, and I try to try to get out of it. But a lot of a lot of

Unknown:

women, you know, call themself woke or, or awakened, will say,

Unknown:

and, but they're, they're dealing with a lot of trauma, a

Unknown:

lot of trauma, but just not in a positive mindset, where it's

Unknown:

still a lot of a lot of past trauma is coming out. And, you

Unknown:

know, and it just doesn't work for a relationship. So it's

Unknown:

definitely a work in progress.

Unknown:

Yeah, sure.

Unknown:

Yeah. But it's very hard. You know, when people say that

Unknown:

they're, they're ready. You know, they don't disclose that

Unknown:

they're not ready to date. And, but then you get 234 weeks in,

Unknown:

and then all of a sudden, you get that drop bomb dropped,

Unknown:

gone? Oh, yeah. I'm just not ready to commit or I'm like, Oh,

Unknown:

my God. Okay. Well, we thought we had this conversation

Unknown:

earlier, but maybe we didn't.

Unknown:

Yeah. Well, and what would you say is the number one thing that

Unknown:

girls or women, like need to know about what men want? Is

Unknown:

this something like, did you notice, like a red line? Where

Unknown:

you thought, No, no, we actually want this but you girls think we

Unknown:

don't want it? Or you guys think we want this? But we don't

Unknown:

really want this? Is there something that you notice?

Unknown:

Yeah, so there's a couple different ways to take that

Unknown:

question. And after coaching men now for over a year, you see a

Unknown:

lot of a lot of patterns, habits and behaviors that come out of

Unknown:

these and a lot of discussions from those patterns, habits and

Unknown:

behaviors. And a lot of it, I'm just gonna go back to the men

Unknown:

again, like, and taking accountability is they don't

Unknown:

know what the fuck they want. They don't. They don't even know

Unknown:

they've never asked them the question like, what do I

Unknown:

actually want? And a lot of times when you start doing that,

Unknown:

you know, because we got guys that are going through divorces

Unknown:

we got or potential divorces, we got guys that are going through

Unknown:

midlife. Hey, do I actually want to be married to my wife deals,

Unknown:

but they've never asked themselves these questions

Unknown:

before. And now they get to. So then they can start asking

Unknown:

better questions to their spouses. So this, if you ask me

Unknown:

six months ago, I would have a different answer. But what I

Unknown:

see, you know, from my development and the other men in

Unknown:

the program's development, is they want a woman that, you

Unknown:

know, they want a woman that a takes care of them. B is

Unknown:

empowered for the family.

Unknown:

And

Unknown:

they want her to take care of him. So what does that look like

Unknown:

in an empowered, you know, women's society, and you speak

Unknown:

about a lot about that, where we were brought up in the

Unknown:

homemaker, homemaker system, have the mom stay, or the wife

Unknown:

stays at home and takes care of the kids. But I find like,

Unknown:

that's what a lot of the men still want. Because that's what

Unknown:

they know, they like especially, you know, anyone that's 40 and

Unknown:

above? For sure. That's what you know. That's what you that's

Unknown:

what a lot of us know. And, and I think inside like, that's what

Unknown:

we're longing for. And that's all you want. But how do you get

Unknown:

that when a woman is works 80 hours a week, when you still

Unknown:

have two kids that are being raised by whoever. And you're

Unknown:

gone working for weeks, months at a time? How do you get that?

Unknown:

Like? So that is the definite struggle. And now when you're so

Unknown:

that's if you're in a marriage, but now if you're dating? How do

Unknown:

you communicate that? Yeah, to these. So for empowered women

Unknown:

that are, that have a career that have their own their own

Unknown:

ideas on what success looks like, when we're still part of

Unknown:

the old system. Because that's what we know. And as hard as

Unknown:

hard as you can try to, to dissect that and change that.

Unknown:

It's still there,

Unknown:

I feel Oh, totally, like that whole discussion about empowered

Unknown:

women, I feel. The empowered woman that we see now is the

Unknown:

woman that is still wounded. And that feels like she needs to be

Unknown:

masked men, she has to be in a masculine role in order to

Unknown:

survive and society. And those women are not, I'm very careful

Unknown:

how I formulate that. But they're not capable to play the

Unknown:

feminine role in our relationship. Yet they want the

Unknown:

man who protects them. And who cares for them. In deep inside,

Unknown:

they need that. But they don't want to show that because that

Unknown:

would be weak. In my eyes, the true empowered woman is a hard

Unknown:

working girl. She is there for her community, for her family,

Unknown:

for her girlfriends, but she has that nurturing, that openness,

Unknown:

that receiving energy, and not the, oh, I got tits in a vagina.

Unknown:

But I can live like a man, I can work like a man because that

Unknown:

woman might look very sexy. But internally, she is so at war

Unknown:

with femininity, that when a guy comes in, and wants that role

Unknown:

from her, she's gonna run away, she's gonna make you feel so

Unknown:

weak and silly, because you challenge her again. And I find

Unknown:

it so hard. Like, I had an interview with a girl. And I

Unknown:

never posted it because she got so aggressive with me. Because

Unknown:

she didn't understand that she she I was scared of her. Like,

Unknown:

she said, okay, you're empowering men. So what about

Unknown:

all these women who are still not getting an equal job and

Unknown:

equal payment and stuff? And I said, Yeah, well, that's a

Unknown:

different problem, though. And you're not going to solve it in,

Unknown:

in becoming a man as a woman, and I see your guys struggle. So

Unknown:

well. But I still have troubles to get through to women. Because

Unknown:

they see me as the weak little feminine girl who is too lazy to

Unknown:

get out into the corporate world or something, you know, they I

Unknown:

irritate them so much. That's why I'm doing my work on the guy

Unknown:

side now and want to tell you guys, hey, you're doing the

Unknown:

right thing. And it is up to us women now to grow as well.

Unknown:

Because we're falling behind. We lost our femininity, and it's

Unknown:

sad for all people included. So we

Unknown:

know and what do you see happen in those relationships when the

Unknown:

women rise? And a lot of times and if you are if you are

Unknown:

married, that where that happens, where the women starts

Unknown:

rising starts being more powerful in the ways you just

Unknown:

described. Now, the ad crumbles because he is not strong enough

Unknown:

to be able to deal with what the hell is going on. And not having

Unknown:

the tools to be able to discuss like, what is that war that's

Unknown:

happening? Like and it is, it's a mess. war between the spouse

Unknown:

the two spouses. Like, oh my god, like, Kay, you feel,

Unknown:

especially nowadays when you know, especially if you have a

Unknown:

man that is meant, or that's worked away all his life and

Unknown:

worked out in the trenches and did all of that cool stuff, and

Unknown:

now there is no work. And so he's at home. And now the woman

Unknown:

is now working mate, bringing in the money, great. But that man

Unknown:

feels totally beaten down. That man feels totally useless. And

Unknown:

without being able to communicate that in a positive

Unknown:

way, that breakdown of that marriage is going to happen so

Unknown:

fast. And it might not it might take years, but it's the

Unknown:

breakdown. It will happen fast. And it's so hard to do.

Unknown:

Mm hmm. No, I see it. I can. I noticed that. And wow, like to

Unknown:

have a discussion with a wounded woman is like, I don't know what

Unknown:

it is. They're so quick with their words, they're so quick

Unknown:

with their assumptions. And as a man, you can be put in a corner,

Unknown:

like being a matul. Or being an all you want me to cook and, you

Unknown:

know, massage your feet at night, but that's not who I am.

Unknown:

They don't get the Yeah, it's hard to communicate to them. I

Unknown:

totally understand you're suffering. And I'm still

Unknown:

struggling with that. What is the solution to that? I think

Unknown:

keep talking about it. Deep, keep disclosing it and point out

Unknown:

situations like that. Because I can see how a man would totally

Unknown:

feel like powerless, and D emasculated or castrated. And

Unknown:

what is there left to do? Like, it's kind of a dead end. street

Unknown:

or road? And

Unknown:

yeah, yeah. No. And going back to the dating what you have now?

Unknown:

See, I've seen there's lots where you have women that are

Unknown:

divorced and have kids like there isn't too many women that

Unknown:

are above 3035 that have no kids, but are single? Yeah,

Unknown:

right. But they have kids, they're single, and they are in

Unknown:

a place. So for their children, so for a man to step into that

Unknown:

know you're carrying the woman is carrying such a high

Unknown:

masculine energy to try to, to bring that to the kids, that

Unknown:

you're fighting that, that, that dichotomy between what she wants

Unknown:

to be what she feels she wants to be, but now she doesn't even

Unknown:

realize that she is carrying that masculine energy, and now

Unknown:

you're trying to break through that wall, to get to the

Unknown:

femininity behind it. And it's there, it's it's so there, but

Unknown:

we we have to put these masks on to be strong for our kids, you

Unknown:

know, I'm talking for the women. And you are it it's just as a

Unknown:

man coming into that is very hard. So, you know, as as loving

Unknown:

and caring as you think you are. You have this wall that's been

Unknown:

put up, and it's very hard to break down. And it's very hard

Unknown:

to connect to somebody that's playing both roles. So I found

Unknown:

that as a as another huge step in the dating game of single

Unknown:

moms, for sure.

Unknown:

Yeah, I could see that. And, like, in women's defense, it's

Unknown:

so tough to switch roles. And it's so tough in our society,

Unknown:

because femininity is not really praised. Like just as much as

Unknown:

men. You really have to fight and to No, no, the way I feel is

Unknown:

valuable. And I'm going to express myself. And it's good

Unknown:

for us women. Yeah, we were trained now to to feel less and

Unknown:

to work harder and to Yeah, become kind of that unisex human

Unknown:

that takes out polarity. You know, sex is suffering. I don't

Unknown:

want to talk about sex during COVID. But I feel it was before

Unknown:

COVID already, that when you don't have that polarity, when

Unknown:

you have two masculine energies. It's very tough to create

Unknown:

sensuality. And now as a woman, it's so tough to Yeah, let down

Unknown:

your guard sex. And to allow the man to be the man and to Yeah,

Unknown:

it's okay that he holds the door or that he helps you into the

Unknown:

jacket, no this little subtle things where you know, a woman

Unknown:

doesn't feel threatened. A woman wants you to protect her and

Unknown:

wants to feel safe. And yes, you can lift her weights in the gym,

Unknown:

but she still wants the man to be the man. Right. And we have

Unknown:

to bring that back into society. And I just don't know how it's a

Unknown:

it's a huge money battle.

Unknown:

Yeah, yeah, I agree. I agree. edits. Yeah, it's definitely

Unknown:

hard. But I think just talking about it more, maybe somebody,

Unknown:

somewhere can pick up. Pick up the idea that they can do both

Unknown:

like, yeah. But you have to know how to shut it off, like you

Unknown:

said, like, especially the woman or is carrying both both

Unknown:

energies as well. Like, how do you shut it off? And how do you

Unknown:

become aware? While I personally think it's like, meditation has

Unknown:

helped me so much and be able to disconnect facts from the

Unknown:

feelings that are around me. And that's just one way but like,

Unknown:

being aware on a constant basis of how you are showing up? Yeah,

Unknown:

is huge, is huge. Like, what, what are the words coming out of

Unknown:

your out of your mouth? Are they self defeating? Are they are

Unknown:

they demeaning? If somebody said that to you, do you? Would you

Unknown:

take that as demeaning, right, like, maybe don't come at

Unknown:

somebody that way, like your spouse, you know, or partner?

Unknown:

And, and just be aware of what's happening around you. Like, it's

Unknown:

so easy. And yeah, after 17 years of marriage came crashing

Unknown:

down, right? Like, man, there's so much that I'd like to do

Unknown:

differently. But that's I'm very excited about the next 40 some

Unknown:

years, right? Because you get to take all of these lessons and be

Unknown:

able to apply it.

Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah, no, that's gonna be a very exciting journey. And I

Unknown:

know you're gonna pick wisely. And, yeah, another thing I

Unknown:

wanted to talk about is, so in my family, I observed the guys

Unknown:

who are very aggressive and suppressed women. In return,

Unknown:

women were passive aggressive, and castrating them on

Unknown:

energetical levels, so to say, so when you make a man feel that

Unknown:

he has no use, he is not of any use to the family. It's what

Unknown:

I've learned the worst you can do to men in return. Now, when I

Unknown:

dated, and I was conscious about how I treated my boyfriend, if I

Unknown:

made him feel I need him, I want him. And those those, like that

Unknown:

kind of energy. It was like, holy, I'm going to do everything

Unknown:

for you. Because that's, that's how I want to feel that's the

Unknown:

person I want to be in a woman's life, right? Is there anything

Unknown:

about women that you noticed where they say or act as if they

Unknown:

are totally independent, but you can see that they want to feel

Unknown:

safe, they want to be feel protected? Have you been in

Unknown:

situations like that? Where the words were absolutely not

Unknown:

matching? What you like the body language, for instance?

Unknown:

Oh, yeah, huge, huge. And it usually shows up. I get lots of

Unknown:

messages where women are abused, or they want to leave a

Unknown:

relationship. So there's that as well. But that's what sparked me

Unknown:

of you were describing that before of being beat down. And

Unknown:

it's very, it's just so hard to see, like, but Oh, where was I

Unknown:

going with that? Yeah, that happened that. It just so I just

Unknown:

wanted to touch on that. Be because before you know, to fit

Unknown:

it in this show, because it really hurts me when women are

Unknown:

in those relationships. But then I see that Two months later,

Unknown:

they're still with that same person. where they've reached

Unknown:

out to me and asked me, Well, what do you think? Why do you?

Unknown:

Why does he do this? And why did why is this right? We all know.

Unknown:

But it's hard to process that we can't change the other person

Unknown:

for sure. And that does tie into what you were talking about,

Unknown:

where they say something that they want, but they totally

Unknown:

different. Like, the results are totally different. So they say

Unknown:

they don't want this abusive relationship, but then they

Unknown:

stay. And that's a whole there's a whole other can of worms. But

Unknown:

is it really though, because they say they want something

Unknown:

different? But then it's always the same thing? Well, he's going

Unknown:

to change he's going to do this. Well, what do you actually like

Unknown:

about him in the first place? They What was it that actually

Unknown:

right, like, Yeah, he bought you some flowers and made you smile?

Unknown:

And then you're now you're together for six months, and now

Unknown:

he beat the crap out of you? Well, if you actually looked at,

Unknown:

at the relationship, well, there is obviously signs that

Unknown:

something wasn't right. And there is something going on, and

Unknown:

now I'm not bulking everything into. And I'm not justifying it

Unknown:

by any means, where I want to talk. But I will, I would like

Unknown:

to address is, why is that? So why actually reach out to

Unknown:

someone and say you want something different? Then you

Unknown:

it's the Yeah, I don't see now see, or hear nothing for, you

Unknown:

know, two weeks or a month, and all of a sudden, it's a loving

Unknown:

post of, of this couple together.

Unknown:

Mm hmm.

Unknown:

It just, it hurts me so bad to see.

Unknown:

What I've observed. and learned is that when we pick up

Unknown:

partners, of course, you have the physical, the spiritual

Unknown:

finances, what not, you know. But then there's a whole deeper

Unknown:

level of like, the way you were raised your relation with your

Unknown:

opposite sex caregiver. So in your case, your mom and her

Unknown:

case, her dad, and if she is I don't know that person, but if

Unknown:

she is with a person who, deep deep down makes her feel like

Unknown:

she felt when she was five, and she had a good relationship with

Unknown:

her daddy, then this is so much stronger than if you beautiful

Unknown:

person come along. And like, basically live or with me, you'd

Unknown:

be safe, I would never treat you bad. We have money, we have fun,

Unknown:

blah, blah, blah. This is good for a couple of weeks. But then

Unknown:

again, her deep in rooted longing for her daddy, it felt

Unknown:

weird, is is going to come up again. And she's going to look

Unknown:

at you and see that you're weak. You're not you don't have that

Unknown:

aggression. And this is actually what reminds her of, you know,

Unknown:

feeling as the little girl back then. And that's what I've

Unknown:

learned. I don't say this is a fact. But that's way stronger

Unknown:

than what you got to offer. And it's can't overrule it, until

Unknown:

that person decides to do it. And I suggest to you to keep

Unknown:

distance to people who are in and out hot and cold. Because

Unknown:

they are not, like clear with themselves and they're gonna

Unknown:

drag you in. And you have such a big heart. You're so empathetic,

Unknown:

that it's totally gonna mess you up.

Unknown:

Huh? Oh, I personally Yeah, that's happened a few times.

Unknown:

Yeah, exactly. Where I've, I get sucked into that. That same I

Unknown:

want to help people as well. But I'm attracted to it be and it

Unknown:

goes. You said the little girl but that's my little boy doing

Unknown:

the same thing. And I'm like, so causing. And that's why I love

Unknown:

this. That's why I love talking about this. I love I love the

Unknown:

coaching that I do is because I'm learning just the same as

Unknown:

everybody else. And it tries to act like you're on a pedestal

Unknown:

doesn't happen with this guy anymore. There is no so I screw

Unknown:

up more often than not. Yeah, I'm able to be aware that this

Unknown:

stuff is happening. So yeah, because when you get especially

Unknown:

when you get messages of women that you know Because there is

Unknown:

something attractive about a man that's that, that speaks out the

Unknown:

way I do. And in some ways, and I'm finding I didn't know, but

Unknown:

apparently so I do get lots of fair bit of messages of women,

Unknown:

but then you'll get this. In that same conversation you'll

Unknown:

get Oh, I'm in this shitty relationship and blah, blah,

Unknown:

blah. I tried to be helpful, but then not be flirty. So is very

Unknown:

tough. Very tough. Yeah, a lot of Yeah, are very attractive,

Unknown:

right. And that's not what I want. So at all I wanted I'm

Unknown:

wanting to speak to so I wanted to speak to the guys so that

Unknown:

they messaged me, which does happen, but not as much as as

Unknown:

women when they want to reach out. So. So yeah, it's very,

Unknown:

yeah, there's a very fine line, and I'm learning to find those

Unknown:

boundaries. Because, yeah, I get I can get sucked in just like

Unknown:

anybody else. Like, this is Oh, man, she would be so much cool

Unknown:

to date. And know, like, let's just keep this professional for

Unknown:

sure. Yeah, and I'm not. And I'm not Yeah. But it's so tough. And

Unknown:

I'm not afraid to say it either. Right. I am human. And I am

Unknown:

attracted to women. That's just what it is. So,

Unknown:

yeah. And, like the awesome, like, thing that we can start

Unknown:

doing now as as very caring people, is that we observe Okay,

Unknown:

which part of me is attracted to that person now? Is it my

Unknown:

caregiver, my rescue personality? Or is it my uterus?

Unknown:

Yeah, as it My, my, my masculine and my feminine parts that are

Unknown:

really drawn to each other? And once you hack that, once, you

Unknown:

know, no, I'm not the caregiver. I'm not the rescue of my future

Unknown:

partner, I want my partner to be healthy, and empowered to know

Unknown:

how to, you know, heals patients, then you can be more

Unknown:

selective, I had to learn that because I was just like you, I

Unknown:

was like, Oh, my God, that guy needs me like, he's in a toxic

Unknown:

relationship, like I have to you the Savior, the angel, and it's,

Unknown:

it's not going to be good.

Unknown:

No,

Unknown:

not at all. Not at all. And it's an even when you do start into a

Unknown:

relationship. If you are for the people that are listening, like

Unknown:

a lot of them are coming aware of their actions and everything

Unknown:

else. But they fall, they might fall into the same patterns and

Unknown:

habits that we did, where you're you're not meant to coach or

Unknown:

help your partner like you, you do it by your actions, the more

Unknown:

action that you do, your partner will see those and maybe start

Unknown:

to implement some of them into your life. So if whether it's

Unknown:

journaling, whether it's meditation. Yeah, so many

Unknown:

different tools that you start using. If you're around your

Unknown:

partner long enough, and you just go ahead and do it. Like

Unknown:

don't my my advice is not to push it on them at all. At all.

Unknown:

Yeah, just do it. Just do the work that you've been doing

Unknown:

that's got you to the place where you feel good about

Unknown:

yourself. Yeah. And then partner might take it up themselves and

Unknown:

be able to have and then you can start having that conversation.

Unknown:

But I you know, this happens lots where we teach it we teach

Unknown:

the guys to yet be very, like I alluded to before was be very

Unknown:

honest with their partners. Well, it has to be read.

Unknown:

Meditate or journal, you telling them? Or Yeah, I'll go ahead and

Unknown:

say telling them, you telling them they should do something.

Unknown:

They're just they're gonna push away from it, and then they're

Unknown:

gonna make fun of you for doing it. It's just the way that it is

Unknown:

if they're not in that place. Yeah. So and then if we start

Unknown:

that whole cycle where we started this conversation, full

Unknown:

circle, where our, you know, getting getting beat down by our

Unknown:

partners, and that's it. We're not even realizing that we're

Unknown:

doing

Unknown:

it's so unconscious. Nick, we're coming to an end. Yeah, I feel

Unknown:

like we could talk about this for seven more hours. Is there

Unknown:

anything like a message that you would like to send out to women

Unknown:

when it comes to dating and finding a partner or like Having

Unknown:

a healthy relationship with a man?

Unknown:

Yeah, for women, I would suggest I would suggest thing, what it's

Unknown:

like to be needed again. I just see what that like, just sit and

Unknown:

feel what that would be even if you are the most powerful woman

Unknown:

on earth. And you know, you're a fortune 500 company CEO. Just

Unknown:

feel what it's like to be needed by someone, like when you were a

Unknown:

little girl like you described Aurora, like, feel what that is?

Unknown:

And how can you implement that into your relationship? And how

Unknown:

can you communicate that to your partner, because I feel that

Unknown:

would be massive, massive, oh, you can go and produce you can

Unknown:

go in, you can go and be a badass bitch. But like, feel

Unknown:

what it is to be wanted and communicate that to your

Unknown:

partner. Yeah, and on the men side, on the men side, feel what

Unknown:

it's like to be a fuckin animal again, like go and lift some

Unknown:

heavy shit or go and, and, and chop down a fucking tree and run

Unknown:

around in the bush naked and just feel what it's like to be a

Unknown:

man again, like, just primal. Just feel what that is and

Unknown:

communicate that feeling to your partner. And how you can get

Unknown:

that and how you can maybe incorporate that primal pneus

Unknown:

into your relationship, like two huge things that we need to be

Unknown:

wanted. And to feel like, we're a badass motherfucker. Like, and

Unknown:

that's different for everybody that that feeling is different

Unknown:

for everybody. Right? So take that for what it's worth, and

Unknown:

kind of manipulate that into what you need into your life.

Unknown:

And what fulfills you. But in a nutshell, like, that's what I

Unknown:

feel that we're missing is just, yeah, just want to produce and

Unknown:

just be badass.

Unknown:

Yeah, man, that was a beautiful, beautiful ending. You totally

Unknown:

nailed it. And

Unknown:

yeah,

Unknown:

I hope that message will be received. I know it will be

Unknown:

received and we will take care of Yeah, distributing and

Unknown:

sharing because that's exactly what we all need to hear. Yeah,

Unknown:

no, beautiful. Let's leave it at that.

Unknown:

Unknown:

Also..
A little bit about me
Trust me I’m far from feeling, behaving or being perfect.
Perfection is nothing I’m thriving for yet I can say I’m proud of my path/ life journey.

I'm no longer enslaved to my #depression
I'm no longer a #rapevictim
I no longer struggle with #eatingdisorder
I no longer feel the need to hold on to fear, anger and resentment towards men.
I #create podcast episodes and videos several times a week to support and inspire others even on days I feel poorly.
I push through hard times while being gentle on myself.

I'm able to be consistent without feeling drained for the first time in my life because I found something that brings me joy and excitement and stills my hunger to support people out there.

I try my best to understand people’s harsh opinions that are not in alignment with my values .

I learn every day on how to express myself better in a foreign language

I no longer use being bullied back then in school as an excuse in life to not show up for myself or others.

I ask questions, really annoying questions, in order to experience my environment and to find out what is best for me and my people around me ..
Yes, I still feel triggered in many situations.
Yes, I feel depressed and discouraged at times but I embrace it and don’t let it define me anymore.

Doing all this allows me to meet incredible people along the way.

People who:
- inspire me
- encourage me and ignite my deep compassion

I'm grateful for all of you and I’m so happy that I can learn from you and grow together with you .

We are all together in this beautiful mess called life
Thank you for being here

Lots of love and respect

About your host

Profile picture for Aurora Eggert

Aurora Eggert

Hello there,
Born and raised in Germany under the influence of French culture I got a taste of how people perceive life and situations totally differently depending on how and where they grew up. this ignited my deepest curiosity for human behaviour at a very young age.

Being always more of an introvert and observant child I absorbed a lot of stuff that to this day weigh heavy on my soul but on the bright side I can say that these experiences make me relate so much deeper and better to the people around me.

I understand pain. I know suffering. I know how it feels to feel misunderstood.
People say I have a warm, soothing vibe and I enjoyed many years working as a physiotherapist in Germany.

Today I’m more venturing towards bringing healing through podcasting/ Life coaching and yoga. I also encourage people to spend more time out in nature and have a Yurt set up in our forest where I host regular relaxation classes.

I would like to call myself a perception shifter because this is what helped me on my path of (ongoing) healing - I’d love to offer perception shifting thoughts/views in order to make people feel more real and their life easier and their relationships deeper.

I’m also passionate about bringing awareness to locally grown food to people’s table as I’m certain that feeling empowered and real starts with what you nurture your body with and what you absorb with all senses from your environment on a daily basis .

I live in the Rocky Mountains
Raise a couple chickens Free range for eggs and grow a beautiful vegetable garden with my grandmother, fiance and mother in summer.

Podcasting became my passion because I can reach people all over the world- Give hope, make people feel less lonely and self-empowered. Furthermore the interviews with people from around the world expand my horizon and help me heal my soul.
Bonnie my pitbull is always at my side.
connect with me and share your story on my show .

Love ❤️
A.
