Most fathers are taught to put the mission first. To provide, achieve, and sacrifice time at home for the sake of the family. But what if that conditioning is costing us the very connection our children need most?
In this vulnerable solo episode, Mike shares his own awakening as a father — realizing that presence is more valuable than being the “hero.” He explores why the first three years of a child’s life are so critical, how a father’s nervous system imprints on his kids, and why shared family presence is the foundation of love, belonging, and resilience.
🌿 You’ll learn:
Why children don’t need a hero — they need your presence
The irreplaceable role of fathers in early childhood
How presence impacts your partner, your kids, and your shared nervous system

In this intimate and fiery episode, Courtney and Mike dive deep into the process of how the masculine initiates the feminine — not through dominance or control, but through presence, responsibility, truth, and devotion.
They unpack what the uninitiated feminine looks and feels like — the blaming, the spilling, the disconnection — and contrast it with the initiated feminine, who is radiant, relational, and deeply embodied.
Courtney vulnerably shares how her own feminine has been invited into queen energy, not by being coddled — but by being met. Fiercely. Lovingly. Clearly.
Mike opens up about the internal process it takes as a man to initiate the feminine — and what it means to do so in a way that builds intimacy, trust, and alchemical connection.
Stay tuned until the end as they explore how the masculine’s sexual desire is not a threat… but one of the greatest invitations to the feminine's full awakening.
