ANDRE PARADIS: Relationship dynamics coach talks the roles of femininity and masculinity in nature. Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

This week, I get real with Andre Paradis. Andre has been studying people his entire life. His knowledge expands across all types of subjects such as love/life, relationships between men and women, workplace dynamic negotiations, effective communication strategies/tools, and more. I’ve been sitting on airing this podcast because it was a little triggering for me. Andre really pushed me into a conversation I’m not usually comfortable having: the roles men and women should play, and why relationships are failing as we have been fighting against nature. I was triggered several times because I am all about women being equal to men and having the same opportunities and space to hold power. But, Andre makes some great points and really made me think. The roles of women and men in nature have never been the same, yet, they are both equally important. He hits on a lot of points that made me cringe, but I do feel that at the root of what he is saying, there is some really valid truth. In this episode we cover...
• The 3 types of males: Men, Guys, and Boys (Boys are the ones who are dangerous, not Men or Guys)
• Why femininity is the most powerful energy we possess
• Why equality does not work in love dynamics
• How to communicate effectively and respectfully
• Men and commitment....it's the opposite of what you think
Conversations like this are hard but I really learned so much after talking with Andre and hearing his knowledge and perspective. I would love to hear your thoughts on what he has to say!
