When one partner's attachment style is anxious, and the other's is avoidant, it can be painful for both. But you can learn to consciously communicate and create ways for each person to feel safe and valued. Today's guests talk about how to lovingly collaborate and negotiate, to meet the needs and desires of each partner. If you’re not satisfied with your love or sex-life, and could use some insights into what makes a person want more of you, tell me more about yourself here and we’ll schedule a time to talk.

After divorce or betrayal, many people give up on love. But discovering what love really is, and how to create a loving partnership where you don't lose or betray yourself, is one of the most fulfilling and growthful journeys in life. Ashlynn Allen helps you find the courage to experience what love can be, while you stay true to yourself.

In this intro episode of Practicing Love, I introduce the concept of love as a practice, rather than a static feeling, or something to achieve once and for all. I emphasize the importance of exploring love with humility and curiosity, of growing (through both dating and in relationships), and the need for vulnerable honesty if we want to keep relationships alive and satisfying for the long-term. I outline foundational principles for practicing love, and explore how to navigate challenges with compassion and understanding. I also introduce future episodes where guests will vulnerably reveal their struggles, learnings and how they currently practice love. Our love and sex lives can be one of the most challenging parts of life. But it gets easier when you hear from others, and you know you're not alone. And when you start to see each situation -- even hurts, upsets and disappointments -- as a doorway to the love and intimacy you want.    Intro music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/prigida/burble License code: CHROXRSGACRHE8NP

Men are dying younger and living sicker than others. Having spent twenty years working with men, I believe in men's goodness. I see that while there are men who abuse their power, there are many incredible men who want to do and be good in the world. This episode highlights three leaders in men's work, Dr. Jed Diamond, Ted Bunch and Kenny Mammarella D'Cruz. We look at the state of men and how what men need most right now can't be separated from what the world needs most right now.
