Ep. 084 - Chris Gillis - Why Men Feel Stuck in Dating and Life

Chris is an Emotional Intelligence and relationship coach who helps high-functioning men and women build the clarity, confidence, and communication skills needed for modern love. Through emotionally intelligent leadership, he teaches clients how to stop overthinking, express their needs with confidence, and break toxic patterns that sabotage intimacy, without losing their edge.

A core part of Chris’s work is helping men and women better understand the psychology, both conscious and unconscious, that drives how people choose (and avoid) partners. He trains clients to develop a wider emotional lens, so they can better interpret signals, communicate more effectively, and attract the kind of partners who truly align with their values and desires.

If you are struggling to connect with women or build meaningful relationships, you're not alone, and it's not your looks or your status. It's your emotional intelligence. In this powerful and vulnerable conversation, Chris breaks down why most men are still emotionally stuck and how to change it.

We explore the roots of emotional unawareness, self-sabotage, and the invisible “performance mindset” that keeps men from being truly seen. This episode dives deep into what emotional intelligence for men actually means, why it's not about being soft, and how to build real confidence from the inside out.
