What does it really take for a man to rise into his power?

In this potent episode, Mike & Courtney dive deep into the sacred process of masculine initiation—how the feminine (as life, as mirror, as love) plays a catalytic role in helping the masculine evolve from confusion and stagnation into clarity, mission, and emotional depth.

🎯 Whether you’re the one feeling “too much” in relationship…

🎯 Or the one feeling lost, blamed, or unsure how to show up…

This episode is your invitation to explore the sacred alchemy of relationship.

🧭 What You’ll Learn:

— How to spot the difference between an initiated and uninitiated masculine

— Why the feminine’s “complaints” are actually sacred invitations

— Why the masculine often misreads the feminine as a threat

— How to initiate the masculine without fixing or shaming

— The perks of initiation: hotter intimacy, deeper devotion, powerful leadership

This episode isn’t just for men or women—it’s for all beings who are ready to deepen in love, responsibility, and purpose through relationship.
