The real life impact of the manosphere on young men Nov 11, 2025

Show notes

Daniel Principe is a youth advocate and educator who delivers workshops to students, parents and educators around relationships, sexuality & masculinity.

In this episode, Laura sits down with Daniel to find out what he’s seeing in schools right now - how masculinity influencers and misogynistic content are shaping boys and their beliefs about themselves and women, the values they are actually seeking in their relationships vs what the internet tells them they should look for, the shaming and dehumanising behaviour he sees online and in schools, and the positive signs from some young boys who are doing things differently.

Do men need sex to feel love? A deep dive with relationship coach Megan Luscombe Nov 02, 2025

Show notes

We thought we’d do something a little bit different this week and invite relationship coach and friend of the podcast, Megan Luscombe, on for one big deep dive segment!

A few weeks ago Megan left a comment on one of our reels around the idea that “men need sex to feel love”. We wanted to unpack this with Megan so we got her in the studio to break down this idea for us.

Plus we talk about the pressure for women to get back into sex postpartum, sex vs intimacy, using sex as a bandaid to cover up for a lack of vulnerability, and lots more!
