Summary

This is a Fan Fav episode. The men you attract and find yourself in relationships with reveal more about you, your wounds, your insecurities and the parts of you that need healing and growth. Looking externally for safety, love, and validation is not only an unhealthy way to move through relationships, it’s also a toxic way of living that doesn’t serve your higher purpose and it will never create the peace you’re looking for. Not every woman has experienced seeing a man completely open, vulnerable, and exposed. Honestly speaking, sadly, not many women are able to deal with the rawness of men’s emotions. Yet, there is something comforting from hearing today’s guest, Lewis Howes, share about the emotional trigger and pain that men go through. Lewis went from the cheating ladies man, emotionally closed off, and easily triggered insecure jealous partner-type to a man looking forward to marriage in a committed loving relationship that has healed his some serious past traumas and emotional triggers. Lewis Howes is the bestselling author of the book, The Mask of Masculinity, ultra successful entrepreneur, host of the podcast and YouTube channel, The School of Greatness. In this conversation with Lisa, Lewis brings up some challenging questions that are worth sitting with and giving some extra time and attention as you either navigate through your current relationship or spend time alone before your next relationship.
