In this episode, Alanna Kaivalya, Ph.D., author of The Way of the Satisfied Woman, redefines two of the most misunderstood dynamics in modern relationships: cherishing and respect.

Discover how the feminine is meant to be cherished — her emotions and intuition honored as sacred guidance — and how the masculine is meant to be respected — his reason and direction valued in service to love.

You’ll also learn why boundaries are for you to hold (not to control others), and how the “mask of the masculine” keeps women exhausted, overfunctioning, and disconnected from their feminine power.

🌹 Key themes:
• Redefining feminine and masculine energy
• Emotional intelligence vs. logical reasoning
• Boundaries and the “sacred no”
• Healing burnout and self-abandonment
• Cherishing, respect, and polarity in modern relationships
