\\nWelcome back to a new season and a new era, really \\u2026 of MEN, THIS WAY.
\\nIf you\\u2019ve been following this podcast for a while, you\\u2019ll know I haven\\u2019t released an episode in a few months. I took a hiatus because well, frankly, I just got burned out. This year has been intense. I\\u2019ve moved across the country with my wife, and I\\u2019ve been focusing on launching, strengthening, and deepening my men\\u2019s coaching business. Podcasting just fell by the wayside. But I\\u2019m back. I\\u2019ve found a new way to do the large labors of podcasting that will work better for my pacing and disposition. I intend to crank out a lot more episodes in the coming months, and hopefully years.
\\nAnd, the podcast is evolving. I\\u2019ve decided to now invite more women onto the podcast. Women clearly have much to say that we men need to hear if we are to live a meaningful life of insight and wisdom. I\\u2019ve also changed the subtitle of the podcast from, \\u201cLife Insights from Wise Men\\u201d to \\u201cWisdom For Men (and the women who love them).\\u201d I hope it vibes with you.
\\nMy intention is still to let this space serve as a kind of watering hole we men can come to from our far corners of whatever jungles we inhabit, and be nourished together by meaningful insights and practical wisdom, so that we may return to our communities as more present, more alive, more skillful men. Because the world needs us men in our fullness, in our true greatness, perhaps more than ever before.
\\nSpeaking of which \\u2026
\\nI want to invite you to an extraordinary adventure \\u2026 ELEVATE 2023, my year-long coaching adventure for men committed to thriving. It begins in January, and enrollment is now open \\u2026 I\\u2019ve only got space for 10 men, and already 2 men have stepped up and claimed their spots as of this recording \\u2026 we\\u2019re going to fill this up soon
\\nI\\u2019m now accepting applications for ELEVATE 2023. Go to https://bryanreeves.com/elevate \\u2026 and fill out the application. There may be a spot left for you in ELEVATE 2023, and if not, we\\u2019ll be happy to have a conversation with you anyway, to see how I might serve your journey in other ways. I have another live coaching program called Elevate Your Relationship, and that might be an ideal fit for you if you\\u2019re struggling to thrive in intimate relationship.
\\nAgain \\u2026 https://bryanreeves.com/elevate
\\nLet\\u2019s dive now into today\\u2019s episode.
\\n
\\nHas a woman ever told you she doesn\\u2019t feel connected to you? Or she doesn\\u2019t feel your present?
\\nHave you ever wondered what she\\u2019s talking about when she says that?
\\nWould you like to see into the mysterious experience of a woman in relationship to a man who is not present \\u2026 and to a man who is?
\\nDo you wanna know how to create presence?
\\n
\\nWell, in this episode, my guest is the brilliant Allana Pratt. The first woman \\u2013 other than my beloved wife \\u2013 to appear on \\u201cMen, This Way\\u201d – now almost 80 episodes in. Allana and I mine these crucial questions \\u2013 and offer you insight into a woman\\u2019s experience \\u2013 to hopefully make a meaningful difference in your life.
\\nAllana Pratt is a wise woman, and she is also an old friend of mine. We met about 10 years ago, and the first time I saw her \\u2013 some mutual friends recommended we meet, and so I looked her up and found some videos of her on youtube \\u2013 within seconds she had me smiling. Since then, we\\u2019ve cultivated a personal and professional friendship, and I\\u2019m honored to call her friend. Not only is she doing important work in the world, she was one of the first women in the coaching world that I saw totally crushing it on the business side, too. I knew I had a lot to learn from her.
\\nShe\\u2019s an Intimacy Expert and an Ivy League Graduate, and a regular columnist on the GoodMenProject.'
