This is the perfect FINAL episode for this podcast. (Video version launching soon under a different name!) Follow me on Instagram for the announcement: @jack.unscripted
Why is it the perfect last episode? Because my awesome guest -- Bern Mendez, a dating coach for women -- shares insights about relationships/gender that are aligned with my own.
After interviewing dozens of people about masculinity, femininity and gender, I have more appreciation for how our biology influences us (situationally) when it comes to relationships. But I refuse the gender essentialism popular in "gender polarity" content and some relationship advice. My personal inquiry is satisfied, and I'll get around to writing a book... someday.
Bern views relationships through a deeply compassionate, neurobiological lens that includes body, mind, and spirit.
We cover:
How primal instincts factor into our choice of partner -- and why turning away from our instincts may make us happy
Some key reasons why we get stuck in toxic patterns -- both as individuals and as a society
What to do about those issues to find healthy, happy partnership

Feeling in Layers w/Melissa Crook
In this episode, you’ll unpack the emotions that are blocking you from yourself, deeper connection, and happiness.
Melissa Crook works with clients to peel back the “layers” and put the power back in your hands to ask your questions and reclaim the questions you’re asking yourself.
Dealing with anger (as a woman)
Gaslighting, codependency and all the other fun stuff that’s likely to happen when you step into your truth
Radiant freedom, peace, and self-alignment
“Whatever you’re saying ‘yes’ to, you’re saying ‘no’ to something else. You better be okay with that thing you’re saying ‘no’ to — and it better not be yourself. So if anything is asking you to say ‘no’ to yourself…” — yeah woof
This one hits.

How to remove projections and align with your partner as a team
The perils of hoping for you partner to change vs. hoarding responsibility
