#117 - How Hollywood & the Matrix HIJACKED the Feminine and Destroyed Modern Love

In this episode of The New Age Sage Podcast, I reveal the hidden wound that keeps even the most radiant, successful women stuck in relationships with men who never fully choose them.We’ll uncover why women fall for the player they hope to change, stay with the man who won’t commit, or settle for breadcrumbs from someone emotionally unavailable. I’ll show you how these patterns all trace back to one core childhood imprint: not feeling fully chosen for who you truly were.By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why you’ve been drawn to men who withhold love, how to stop mistaking breadcrumbs for devotion, and what it really means to choose yourself so you can finally attract a man who chooses all of you.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if anything resonated with you.

In this episode of The New Age Sage Podcast, I expose one of the biggest sources of confusion in love: the difference between what women think they want in a man and what they actually desire.We’ll break down why women lose attraction to the “safe nice guy,” why they keep running back to the “a$$h*le" and why both leave them unfulfilled. More importantly, I’ll reveal what women truly crave: a man rooted in truth, strength, and heart, and why this kind of man terrifies them as much as he excites them.By the end of this episode, you’ll have clarity in your body about what you really want in a partner, why you’ve been sabotaging yourself, and how to finally experience both safety and desire in the same relationship.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if anything resonated with you.

In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Moresby-White to explore the painful truth most men avoid: how unhealed boys show up in adult relationships and sabotage the very love they crave. Ryan shares his journey of growing up emotionally disconnected, carrying the grief of his family system, and realizing that beneath his achievements was still a scared little boy running the show.We dive into why women pull away when they feel a man’s wounded boy, how unprocessed grief keeps men stuck in cycles of abandonment, and why “being a safe man” has nothing to do with perfection and everything to do with owning your nervous system. This isn’t theory... it’s the lived initiation of heartbreak, shame, and deep inner work that transforms a boy into a man.Ryan's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryanmoresbywhite/———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if anything resonated with you.

In this episode I share the biggest realization I have had about sacred union, one that completely changed my marriage and how I see relationships. I discovered that when I brought fear to my wife, she instantly went into survival mode, no matter how carefully I chose my words. When I learned to regulate that fear and come to her with love, ownership, and presence, everything shifted.I also explore why women are unconsciously allergic to male fear, how the feminine expands whatever energy she receives tenfold, and why the greatest gift a man can offer is safety. These lessons did not come from books. They came from my own initiations, mistakes, and hard-won growth.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if this episode resonates with you.

If you’re still waiting to be chosen, this one’s for you.Waiting for the text.Waiting for the guy.Waiting for the moment it finally feels like you’re enough.But what if you’ve been waiting for something that was never coming?In this episode, I break down one of the most important archetypes I’ve ever studied on the feminine path: The Wounded Maiden.She’s the version of you that still believes being loved means being saved.That power comes from being desired.That worth is proven by who stays.Using the myth of Persephone, I explore what it actually takes to move from unconscious innocence into sacred womanhood, and why most women never make the leap.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if this episode resonates with you.

They told you she was empowered.Independent. Sexy. Untouchable.They sold you the "strong female lead" but forgot to mention she was written to keep you small.What if the women you admired weren’t role models… but weapons?In this episode, we expose how Hollywood and the Matrix hijacked the feminine through subtle programming.

They taught you love was a chase.A performance. A transaction.Give enough. Look good enough. Stay quiet enough.And maybe, just maybe, you’ll be worthy of staying.But what if everything you learned about love was designed to keep you disconnected from it?This isn’t a relationship advice episode.It’s a full-blown unraveling of the illusion.In this transmission, I reveal how the matrix rewires love into ego, how both men and women are conditioned to use each other in the name of intimacy, and why porn, power, and performance are all just the ego’s tools to keep you afraid of real connection.If you've ever felt like love is confusing, unsafe, or out of reach, this is for you.Not to fix you.But to wake you up.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if this episode resonates with you.

They say they’re healed. But if you look closely, you’ll see it — the mask.In this episode, I dismantle the illusion of “being healed” and explore the subtle ways spiritual performance hides unprocessed pain. From personal missteps to relationship blind spots, I share the difference between real inner work and the ego’s favorite costume: enlightenment.You’ll learn how to spot false healing, how to hold yourself and others through shadow work, and why true healing has less to do with being perfect — and everything to do with how you show up after the fall.This is not about being fixed.It’s about being honest.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if this episode resonates with you.

So many of us confuse love with proving. We fall into the trap of making the person we love jump through hoops to earn what should be freely given. Why? Because a part of us doesn’t feel safe. A part of us still believes love will disappear, and we’d rather control it than risk losing it.In this episode, I expose how “testing love” is often a trauma response in disguise. I walk you through the psychology of abandonment wounds, the shadow that fuels mistrust, and why your nervous system might be sabotaging the very thing your soul is craving.———————Please like, comment, and subscribe if this episode resonates with you.
