What You’ll Hear:

I share an emotional coaching session with my client, Lorelei, a smart, beautiful woman in her 60s who’s finally confronting the childhood wounds that shaped her entire love life.

You’ll hear the devastating belief her inner child whispered—“If no man has loved me in 60 years, nobody ever will”—and how we’re slowly rewriting that story together.

I talk about how so many women unknowingly base their entire view of men on just two relationships: their father and their ex-husband.

I unpack how your early experiences with men can quietly dictate who you choose, how you feel about yourself, and what you believe you deserve.

You’ll hear how Lorelei began to trust again—not just in the process, but in me as a man—despite having every reason not to.

I reflect on the unexpected role I’ve come to play for some of my clients: the first man who makes them feel safe, heard, and understood.

I explain why seeing love modeled in real life matters—and what happens when you’ve only ever seen dysfunction.

I talk about the emotional breakthrough that helped Lorelei go from fear and paralysis to finally getting online and believing love might actually be possible for her.

I share why I believe the second half of Lorelei’s life is going to be better than the first—and how that can be true for you, too.

And finally, I invite you to open your heart to a new chapter, one where you stop living by old pain and start creating the love story you’ve always deserved.
