Co-host Marian De La Croix (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/marian) "I believe every man should have his 'I Dream Of Jeannie'." Do I have your attention yet? That is a direct quote from my first time guest and self-proclaimed "happy submissive", Marian De La Croix. She believes women who embrace submission in relationships experience deeper personal growth, stronger partnerships, and genuine happiness—while the "empowered independence" narrative keeps women stuck, stressed, and unfulfilled. She and her master--who she openly refers to as such--live in Vancouver, BC and by all accounts are living the dream together. Now before you form your own mental image of Marian, realize she is smart, articulate, successful and has keen business sense. So first off, how did Marian arrive at the idea of wanting this kind of relationship? Indeed, Marian doesn't feel the relationship is abusive in any way, and in fact feels more free, capable and empowered than ever. How does she reconcile being empowered and independent as opposed to being "under" a master? Listen in as she talks about the natural leadership qualities of masculine men, and how women are indeed happier by nature when in a relationship with a guy like that. What is the exact mindset of a man AND a woman who thrive in a relationship like this? What is the relationship between men and submissive women that helps them "find their muse"? And what are the similarities between how Marian's relationship with her Master works and how my relationship with Emily works? No, Emily doesn't call me "Master", but the similarities indeed come down to how masculinity and femininity work in tandem. So why, then, does Marian take the perhaps extreme measure of literally calling her husband "Master"? Stop talking to "Mr. Nice Guy" AI and get in on VAMANOS instead for quick, effective answers with women: https://mountaintoppodcast.com/vamanos
