Marina, welcome to the program.

Hey there. Thank you so program. Hey there. Thank you so much for you. Hey there. You're very welcome.

So similar to the last caller, I'm going to give you some brief context and then stop me at any point if you have a question. So ultimate okay. Ultimate question. I'm 33 years old. I'm just a single young professional woman.

I am struggling with finding good men and even believing that there are good men.

But it's deeper than that because I do believe that

they exist. And I want to see them, and I'm not a man hater. I genuinely want men to rise up and be

better and try to encourage that. But on the same token, I'm so, I've been so failed by men in my life. And I don't

even know what words I can use on your show. But my just father, brothers, priests, teachers,

like the works of abuse and just being these men since I was a child

of like not good people and people I don't. So anyway, long story short, it has completely

turned me off from one to even interact with them.

But then there's this like deep sense of wanting male leadership and wanting to be around like good male figures.

And I, I've done a lot of work on myself and shifting this mentality, but I, I feel like it's just so ingrained in me to not trust them

and to like not see the light. And I don't want to be that person.

Well, tell me a little bit more about what happened, father, brother, etc. Tell me what you mean

happened.
