If you’ve outgrown conventional relationship advice and are craving a deeper, more conscious way of loving, this episode is for you.In a world that emphasizes hyper-independence, self-healing, and “doing your own work,” many couples feel confused about how to actually grow together. Sacred relationship offers a radically different paradigm—one where love becomes a living practice of mutual evolution, nervous system maturity, and devotion to the shared space between two people.
In this foundational episode, Mike & Courtney explore how sacred relationship redefines modern love by moving beyond unconscious patterns, codependence myths, and purely individual growth. They share personal stories from their own marriage, the mentors who shaped their journey, and why thriving relationships require radical sovereignty AND deep togetherness.
This conversation is an invitation into a more mature, embodied form of love—one that creates not just stability, but vitality, coherence, and real transformation for both partners.
✨ In this episode:
What sacred relationship actually is (and what it’s not)
Why hyper-independence weakens intimacy
The difference between individual healing and relational mastery
Why couples need support from people living this work
How the “Sacred We” becomes a third, guiding intelligence
Why relationship can be an accelerated path of awakening

Are you frustrated with an avoidant partner who pulls away just when you’re trying to connect?In this deeply personal solo episode, Courtney Wren explores avoidant attachment, emotional withdrawal, and why pushing for connection often creates more distance instead of intimacy. Many people in conscious relationships feel lonely, unseen, or blamed for “needing too much” when their partner shuts down — but what’s actually happening underneath avoidance is far more complex.
Courtney unpacks how avoidant attachment forms through emotional neglect, why avoidant partners often feel “fine” while the relationship suffers, and how nervous system regulation plays a critical role in intimacy. She shares real stories from her relationship with Mike, practical examples of what not to do, and powerful ways to invite connection without overwhelming, shaming, or chasing your partner.
This episode is especially for those asking:Why do I feel like I’m doing all the work?How do I stop pushing and still stay true to myself?Is it possible to heal avoidance together?
✨ In this episode:
Why avoidance isn’t a choice — and why it feels safer than connection
The difference between healthy space and relational withdrawal
How shame blocks avoidant partners from knowing what they feel
What actually invites an avoidant partner back into connection
How to stop repeating childhood attachment wounds in adult love
Why meeting avoidance with compassion creates real change

Burnout, mental load, resentment, feminine essence, masculine presence—why so many women feel unseen (and how couples reconnect fast).
There are so many women and mothers today who are wrung out—tired, irritable, overburdened, underappreciated, and quietly nearing the point of giving up. And there are so many partners who are trying, yet still feeling “never enough.”
In this episode, I’m your brother and ally. I break down why women burn out, how the mental and emotional load silently stacks over time, and why so many couples get trapped in misattunement—loving each other in ways that don’t land.
We cover:
Why burnout + resentment builds (and what’s actually underneath it)
The “mental load” problem and why it’s so invisible
The myth of “masculine vs feminine” (and a clearer model of essence)
What feminine essence needs to feel seen, met, and open
What masculine essence needs to feel valued, trusted, and motivated
Practical ways to shift the dynamic so love finally lands

00:00 – Why So Many Women Are Burnt Out
06:45 – The Hidden Mental & Emotional Load Women Carry

1:26:30 – Practical Tools to Meet Each Other Differently

In this raw, illuminating episode, Mike and Courtney dive deep into the Feminine Oracle — the part of a woman that speaks truth, wisdom, and emotional clarity… even when it comes out as complaints, defensiveness, or “never good enough.”
They share personal stories, the impact of patriarchy on the Oracle’s voice, and how to listen without taking it personally. Discover how the Oracle shows up in relationships, families, and communities — and how the masculine can respond in a way that builds trust and unlocks deeper connection.

In this first episode of the Wild Birth Series, Courtney shares the raw, intimate story of attending her very first birth as a doula — and it just so happened to be for her own brother and sister-in-law.
Join us for a deeply personal conversation with Keegan and Ashley, who welcomed their son Chester into the world in a powerful, unmedicated home birth. Together, they recount the emotional and energetic preparation that went into consciously calling in their baby — from ancestral healing and constellation work to ceremonies with the land.
This episode is a tender yet fierce exploration of what it means to birth naturally, intentionally, and in deep trust with life itself.
You’ll hear:
Chapters:
00:00 Introduction to Wild Birth
02:00 Preparing the field before conception
10:00 Womb healing, grief rituals & ancestral imprints 2
0:00 The imprint of your own birth & how it shows up in your child’s
30:00 Physiological birth and full surrender
46:00 Trust, toning, and the roar of the feminine
59:00 Birth as the blueprint for death
1:02:00 The Medicine Song (don’t miss this part!)
This is more than a birth story. This is ancestral repair, embodied wisdom, and the sacred feminine roaring awake.
🎁 BONUS: Stay tuned through the end for a medicine song that will melt your heart.
