Why do men and women so often miss each other completely despite the best of intentions? Misunderstandings between the sexes often lead to tension, hurt, and total communication breakdown.


Today’s guest, relationship expert Alison Armstrong, brings decades of research on male behavior to the table. She reveals how women unintentionally emasculate men by over-correcting, over-explaining, or interrupting. These habits push men out of their natural state of protect-and-provide into a posture of defense and retreat. Alison breaks down how to talk to men (hint: stop interpreting their reactions like they're female) and how just a few simple shifts can lead to dramatic transformation. By the end of this episode, you won’t just understand men better, you might even turn a few frogs into princes.
