How to Love a Man Without Losing Yourself | Boundaries, Truth & Intimacy
13 Oct 2026
00:55:15
Welcome back to Sex, Love & Everything in Between with Jacob and Meg. In this episode, we explore what it really means to love a man deeply without compromising your boundaries or losing touch with your own desires. Jacob and Meg unpack the difference between healthy sacrifice and self-abandonment, and why confusing the two slowly erodes intimacy and self-trust.
This raw, honest conversation covers why vulnerability is harder than diagnosing a partner’s flaws, the importance of respecting your partner's autonomy, and why speaking your truth is an ultimate act of love. We also dive into childhood patterns, the difference between an invitation and an ultimatum, and the paradox of intimacy: true union requires a strong, independent sense of self.
Grab a coffee, settle in, and let's get into it.
Episode Highlights:
Loving Without Self-Abandonment: How to love a man well while staying deeply connected to your own standards and backbone.
The Vulnerability of Showing Your Heart: Why pointing out your partner's shortcomings is often a protective shield to avoid revealing your own hurt and longings.
Sacrifice vs. Self-Abandonment: The crucial difference between willingly giving up a preference and repeatedly compromising your core boundaries in an attempt to win love.
Respect & Relinquishing Control: Learning to trust your partner, stop micromanaging, and sit with your own uncomfortable feelings instead of trying to change who they are.
The Courage to Tell the Truth: Why honest communication is an act of love, and the hidden costs of passive aggression and unspoken resentment.
Childhood Patterns in Adult Love: How protective strategies from our past show up today, and how moving from comfort to depth requires leaving those habits behind.
Invitations vs. Ultimatums: How to invite a partner forward into shared growth through truth, rather than trying to coach or manage their development.
The Business of Truth: Recognizing that relationship work isn't always about saving the partnership, but discovering if both people are truly willing to build something authentic.
The Paradox of Independence and Intimacy: Why deep spiritual and human connection requires the ability to stand firmly in yourself while remaining open to another.

Drop the Armor: How to Soften, Trust Yourself & Let Love In | Jacob and Meg With Sigrid
06 Oct 2026
01:05:13
Are you truly protecting yourself, or are you protecting yourself from the very life you say you want?
In this deeply honest and expansive episode of Sex, Love and Everything In Between, Meg sit down with Sigrid to explore the hidden armor women build to survive—and what it takes to finally soften without abandoning their power.
Sigrid gets vulnerable about the experiences that taught her it wasn't safe to trust, love, be vulnerable, or fully reveal herself. She shares how that protection eventually became hyper-independence, self-reliance, and a constant need to hold everything together—and how she eventually realized that the same armor protecting her from pain was also keeping life from fully reaching her.
Together, they unpack the difference between true softness and performative femininity, why softness actually requires a backbone, and why becoming more available to love isn't about finding the perfect person who makes you feel safe enough to open. It starts with becoming a safe home for yourself.
They also dive into the courage it takes to be fully seen in relationships, why authenticity can become the ultimate filtration process when dating, and how learning to feel discomfort instead of constantly avoiding it can completely transform the way you show up in love, leadership, pleasure, and life.
Episode Highlights: 👉 The Armor We Build: Why the strategies that once protected us can eventually become the very things keeping us from intimacy, pleasure, and connection.
👉 Softness With a Backbone: Why true feminine softness isn't passivity, weakness, or being a doormat—and why real softness requires knowing your power, using your voice, and having your own back.
👉 The Danger of Performative Femininity: Why femininity isn't something you perform for men, social media, or the outside world. It's about fully inhabiting yourself.
👉Becoming a Safe Home for Yourself: How creating internal safety gives you the courage to take up space, speak your truth, be vulnerable, and risk being fully yourself.
👉 The Ultimate Dating Filter: Why revealing more of who you actually are can show you whether someone truly has the capacity to meet and embrace you.
👉 Active Courage: Why becoming more vulnerable isn't about waiting until fear disappears. It's about choosing courage, feeling the sensation, and allowing yourself to be seen anyway.
👉 Stop Waiting for the Bus: Why you don't need a devastating breakup, loss, or major life event to finally change—and why you can choose to soften your armor now.

Stop Being the “Cool Girl”: Reclaim Your Desires, Sex & Self-Worth | Jacob, Meg, & Rebecca
22 Sep 2026
00:53:47
Hey, lovers! Welcome back to Sex, Love & Everything in Between with Jacob and Meg.
In this episode, Jacob and Meg sit down with confidence coach and host of Sex, Other, Money, Rebecca Antonucci, for a raw conversation about female desire, sex, shame, self-worth, relationships, ambition, and what it really means to stop abandoning yourself to be chosen. They begin by exploring the power of sex as an arena for transformation, including why so many women struggle to express their desires, communicate their needs, and experience pleasure without performing for validation or connection.
From there, they dive into the “cool girl” archetype, people-pleasing, being “high maintenance,” hyper-independence, and the cost of pretending you don't want what you actually want.
Rebecca also shares her own journey of confronting shame, leaving comfort zones, and realizing that some of the goals she was chasing were borrowed desires rather than what her heart genuinely wanted. They explore what happens when women stop making their worth dependent on relationships, money, business success, or external validation—and instead begin building their lives around their authentic desires.

[00:01:21] Sex as an Arena for Transformation Why learning to express your desires in the bedroom can transform how you show up everywhere else in life. [00:02:33] Shame, Sex & Authentic Expression Why women can struggle to communicate their desires, boundaries, and needs in relationships.

[00:11:40] The Things We Try to Keep Buried Rebecca shares her experience with shame and what happened when she finally gave it words. [00:12:22] The Cave You Fear Holds the Treasure You Seek Why facing the things we avoid can create freedom. [00:14:49] Courage Is Part of the Process Why you cannot create a liberated life without repeatedly choosing courage and moving through discomfort. [00:19:18] Leaving Comfort Zones Rebecca shares her move to Bali and what happened when an exciting new life eventually became another comfort zone. [00:21:05] Borrowed Desires vs. Authentic Desires How social media can shape the life women think they should want—and how to come back to what is actually true for you. [00:25:20] When Business Success Becomes Your Identity Meg shares how money and business performance once became deeply connected to her sense of worth. [00:29:32] Why High-Achieving Women Can Struggle to Receive Rebecca explores what happens when a woman is so self-sufficient that there is little room for a partner to support her. [00:35:49] Softness, Vulnerability & Letting Yourself Be Held A conversation about feminine softness, sensitivity, and the power of allowing yourself to receive support. [00:36:30] You Don't Have to Be Just One Version of Yourself Why women don't need to choose between being ambitious, independent, soft, sensitive, or vulnerable. [00:39:15] The Power of Being “High Maintenance” What owning your needs, preferences, standards, and desires can reveal about your self-worth. [00:40:18] The Cost of Being the “Pick Me” Why abandoning your needs to be chosen can create bigger problems later in a relationship. [00:43:18] Stop Playing the Cool Girl How unexpressed desires and trying to be easygoing can disconnect you from yourself. [00:47:18] Your Desires Desire You Rebecca talks about claiming your desires instead of hiding them out of shame, fear, or embarrassment. [00:50:16] Start Living as the Woman You Want to Become How to identify the woman behind your desires and begin aligning your choices with her. [00:52:08] What If You Jump and the Net Doesn't Appear? Why taking the leap can still be worth it even when the outcome isn't guaranteed. [00:52:34] One Life. What Do You Actually Want? Rebecca's closing invitation to get hungry for your own life and stop living according to someone else's rules.

You Can’t Build a Big Life Alone: Love, Parenthood, Business & Sacrifice | Jacob & Meg
15 Sep 2026
00:54:38
Hey, lovers! Welcome back to Sex, Love & Everything in Between with Jacob and Meg.
In this episode, Jacob and Meg get real about what it takes to build a meaningful life while running businesses, raising a child, nurturing a relationship, and still making space for themselves.
They open with a playful conversation about desire, attraction, and how small moments of polarity and play can feed a relationship. From there, they explore the bigger question: how do you stay connected to your partner, family, and purpose when life is full?
This episode gives a behind-the-scenes look at navigating entrepreneurship and parenthood—including seasons of overwhelm, weekly check-ins, protecting the family nervous system, creating boundaries around work, and learning when to say no.
They also unpack sacrifice as a way of making something sacred and how entering a new season of life often requires letting go of old stories, identities, habits, and ways of doing things.
For ambitious parents and entrepreneurs, Jacob and Meg share what has helped them create more structure and support: prioritizing their “first family,” building strong community, creating boundaries with technology, accepting help, and designing a life where work, parenting, partnership, and purpose can coexist.
Meg also shares her experience of becoming a mother while continuing to grow her business—and why motherhood doesn't necessarily mean giving up ambition. Sometimes, it can become fuel for an even deeper mission.
This is an honest conversation about love, parenting, entrepreneurship, ambition, sacrifice, support, boundaries, and consciously designing the life you actually want.
WE COVER: [00:00:31] Desire, Play & Attraction A playful conversation about unexpected attraction, asking for what you desire, and bringing more play into relationships.

[00:13:26] When Everything Feels Like Too Much How difficult seasons in business, parenting, and relationship can compound into a breakdown that leads to a breakthrough. [00:15:27] The Power of a Weekly Check-In Why planning the week together and asking what each person needs can change everything. [00:16:32] Your Three Families The first family is under your roof, the second is your inner circle, and the third is your wider community. [00:17:31] Protecting Your Family's Nervous System Why time at home, simple rhythms, and knowing when to say no are essential. [00:21:14] Sacrifice Means Making Sacred Reframing sacrifice as consciously choosing what matters most. [00:25:25] You Can't Take Everything Into the Next Season Growth requires letting go of old identities, stories, habits, and ways of living. [00:26:26] Letting Go of the “Two and a Half Days” Story Meg shares a business lesson about releasing rigid expectations around how much she “should” work as a mother. [00:29:34] Growing Beyond the Way You've Always Worked Jacob discusses building a group-based men's academy and moving from one-on-one coaching toward greater authority and teaching. [00:31:14] When Giving Too Much Costs the Home Why over-serving clients and community can pull energy away from your family. [00:33:04] Containment Creates Potency How boundaries around phones, social media, work, and parenting help them become more present. [00:36:14] Motherhood & Entrepreneurship Meg reflects on becoming a mother while continuing to build her business. [00:39:03] You Don't Have to Choose Between Motherhood & Ambition Why women don't necessarily have to choose between being present mothers and pursuing meaningful work. [00:41:19] Bring Your Child Into the Journey Why parenthood doesn't have to mean putting your mission on hold. [00:42:41] You Need a Village The importance of partners, family, friends, and support when building a business and raising a child. [00:43:27] Learning to Receive Support Why accepting help isn't weakness and how receiving can create meaning for others.

[00:46:25] Designing Their Childcare Support How Jacob and Meg evolved their approach to childcare as their family and businesses grew. [00:50:15] We're Done With the Survival Shit Why conscious sacrifices and the right support can help families thrive. [00:54:19] Deep Roots & Infrastructure Why building the right infrastructure matters when you're parenting and building a big vision.

EP128: Healing the Boy, Becoming a Man & Finding Yourself in Relationship with Ryan Moresby-White
08 Sep 2026
01:03:09
Hey, lovers! Welcome back to Sex, Love & Everything in Between with Jacob and Meg.
In this episode, we’re joined by men’s work facilitator and teacher Ryan Moresby- White for a deeply honest conversation about healing our wounded parts, becoming emotionally safe, and learning how to truly show up in relationship.
Ryan shares why personal development can remain intellectual when childhood wounds are still running the show. We explore what it means to “heal the boy,” how relationships mirror our unresolved wounds, and why grieving what we didn’t receive as children can be essential to healing.
We talk about brotherhood, why men need other men for support and accountability, and how community can help men stay connected to their purpose without losing themselves in partnership. This is a raw, vulnerable conversation about men, women, love, safety, boundaries, purpose, and the work it takes to become more fully yourself.
Grab a coffee, settle in, and let's get into it. Enjoy the episode!
[00:00:19] Meet Ryan Moresby-White Ryan joins Jacob and Meg to discuss his work helping men heal through gentleness, safety, and deep inner work. [00:03:19] Why Men Need to Heal the Boy Why personal development isn't enough when childhood wounds remain underneath the surface. [00:05:51] When Your Partner Reveals Your Wounds How intimate relationships expose unresolved childhood patterns. [00:08:30] Grieving What You Didn't Receive Exploring perceived value, performing for love, and the grief underneath over-giving. [00:10:12] Becoming a Safe Man How meeting your own wounds impacts your partner, family, children, and community. [00:13:00] Purpose, Mission & Men's Work Why men can struggle to discover their purpose when they've never felt safe enough to ask what they truly want. [00:15:47] The Little Boy in Relationship How childhood emotional blueprints can become activated when we open our hearts. [00:17:03] You Can't Hold Her Until You Can Hold Yourself Learning to hold your own emotions while remaining present with your partner. [00:19:28] Losing Yourself in a Relationship How people can lose their identity, mission, and purpose by becoming overly intertwined with a partner. [00:22:21] The Nice Guy Pattern Jacob shares his experience of carrying everyone else's burdens and learning to develop a stronger sense of self. [00:24:26] Needing Her vs. Choosing Her Why being willing to lose a relationship creates the freedom to genuinely choose your partner. [00:25:49] When a Man Finds His Backbone Why boundaries and the ability to say no can actually create greater safety in a relationship. [00:27:39] The Sacrifice in Love The Me → You → We framework and why devotion to yourself can deepen devotion to your relationship. [00:29:53] The Pressure to Be the Perfect Masculine Man Ryan discusses masculine expectations and why he refuses to become the “father” a partner may unconsciously seek. [00:31:09] Trust Your Nervous System Why Ryan pays attention to how his nervous system feels around someone—not just whether they check the right boxes. [00:34:30] The Cost of Being the Nice Guy How avoiding someone's disappointment can prevent them from receiving the truth they need. [00:35:23] Choosing Yourself in the Hard Moments Jacob shares a turning point that came from choosing his own path and attending a men's retreat. [00:38:16] A Safe Man Isn't a Convenient Man Why emotional safety doesn't mean being agreeable or giving someone everything they want. [00:41:00] What Do Men Actually Need From Women? Ryan explores why men crave appreciation, acknowledgment, and being invited into their greatness. [00:45:30] Warm Milk vs. Constant Criticism Why men need both challenge and nourishment—and why constant criticism can shut down vulnerability. [00:48:58] The Real Sign of an Emotionally Safe Man Emotional safety isn't perfection; it's the willingness to go inward and take responsibility for your inner world. [00:50:27] Boundaries Are Self-Respect Why being the “container” doesn't mean taking responsibility for everyone else's emotions. [00:53:23] What Can a Woman Do If She Wants Her Man to Do the Work? Why invitation is often more powerful than forcing a man into personal development. [00:57:38] Why Men Need Men The importance of brotherhood, counsel, accountability, and trusted men who can provide an honest integrity check. [01:00:01] The Nervous System of Brotherhood How brotherhood can give men another foundation of safety and strength beyond their romantic relationship.

EP127: What If You’re BOTH Right? A Play-by-Play of Our Latest Fight
02 Sep 2026
00:57:56
Are you truly capable of holding two truths in a relationship, or does your defensiveness deny your partner the chance to be seen? In this real, raw, and deeply personal episode of Sex, Love and Everything In Between, Jacob and Meg get incredibly vulnerable about the uncomfortable reality of hitting your absolute limit in long-term partnership.
Spoiler alert: true intimacy isn't about never feeling resentful or overwhelmed. It is built in the micro-moments of tension—when your nervous system is completely fried, and every bone in your body wants to blame your partner for your lack of boundaries. Meg shares a raw story about a jam-packed weekend of family celebrations that pushed her capacity to the absolute edge, and the deep internal work it took to own her choices instead of projecting her resentment onto Jacob.
They also tackle the concept of "nervous system capacity," explaining why forcing a partner to relate when they are entirely unresourced isn't connection—it's a recipe for disaster. If you are tired of the right/wrong game and want to step into a new paradigm of deep empathy and honoring two truths at once, this episode will change the way you relate.
Episode Highlights
The Illusion of the Perfect Response: Why bringing defensiveness into a conflict actively denies your partner the opportunity to be seen and validated in their feelings.
Honoring Two Truths: The practice of acknowledging your partner's experience, even when it completely pushes up against your own perception of yourself.
Show Me Your Capacity: Understanding how your nervous system capacity directly reflects your ability to relate to your partner.
Meg’s Moment of Tension: Unpacking a recent, chaotic weekend filled with a five-year-old's birthday, twin nephews, and a baby shower to reveal the deeper truth of capacity and resentment.
The Danger of Being Unresourced: What happens when you try to communicate and connect when you are completely depleted, and why it can feel like the walls are closing in.
Unconditional Ownership: The absolute power of taking deep accountability for the commitments you made, rather than blaming your partner when you feel overwhelmed.

EP126: Mama Gena on The Power of "Pussy", Erotic Aliveness, and Being on our knees
26 Aug 2026
00:50:52
What happens when we stop playing "middle C" on our emotional keyboard and finally embrace the full, wild range of our aliveness?
In this deeply transformative episode, Meg travels to New York for an intimate, in-person conversation with the legendary Regina (aka Mama Gena)—teacher, visionary, and author of the life-changing book Pussy: A Reclamation and her newest release, On Our Knees.
Mama Gena breaks down the radical act of reclaiming the word "pussy" and explains why women are the greatest untapped natural resource on the planet. Together, they explore how to stop avoiding our pain and instead use our deepest grief, frustration, and "on our knees" moments as portals to immense erotic power. Mama Gena even walks Meg through a real-time "swamping" practice (truth tantrum included!) to process the grief of weaning her son.
Whether you are navigating a massive life rupture, wanting to stay erotically alive as you age, or just looking to bring the magic of flirtation back into your daily routine, this episode is a beautiful invitation to surrender to the feminine.
Drop a comment below and let us know your biggest takeaway! Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review if this episode cracked you open.
In this episode, we explore:
The life-changing magic of reading Pussy: A Reclamation in public spaces and overcoming the shame attached to our bodies.
Why reclaiming the specific word "pussy" (and not just anatomical terms or nicknames) acts as a light switch for a woman's sensuality.
The ancient, pre-patriarchal history of revering the feminine and honoring she who gives life.
Breaking out of the "I'm fine" trap and learning to play all 88 keys of your emotional keyboard.
The "On Our Knees" Practice: Mama Gena guides Meg through a live "swamping" truth tantrum to transmute the grief of weaning her son into erotic life force.
Mama Gena’s personal story of losing her partner, Titus, and how moving her grief through dance scaled her power and her company.
Deep surrender: The intuitive download that led Mama Gena to close her multi-million dollar mastery program right before COVID to support her daughter.
Why we must learn to fall ridiculously, erotically in love with our descent and our darkness.
Aging with erotic aliveness and the art of flirtation (shoutout to Mama Gena's 101-year-old mother!).

EP125: The Ego-Obliterating Practice of Deep Intimacy: Choosing Connection Over Being Right
11 Aug 2026
00:55:07
Are you truly devoted to intimacy, or are you just devoted to being right? In this fiery and deeply personal episode of Sex, Love and Everything In Between, Jacob and Meg get incredibly real about the uncomfortable, ego-obliterating reality of long-term partnership.
Spoiler alert: true intimacy isn't about finding a "perfect" partner who never triggers you. It is built in the micro-moments of tension—when every bone in your body wants to withhold love, keep score, and wait for them to apologize first. Meg shares a raw story about projecting her own lack of self-care onto Jacob, and the internal work it took to drop her defenses and walk back into the room with an open heart.
They also tackle the concept of "emotional foreplay" for men, explaining why forcing a partner with a shut-down nervous system to process emotions at your pace isn't connection. It's self-serving. If you are tired of playing the right/wrong game and want to step into a new paradigm of sacred reciprocity and true devotion, this episode will change the way you relate.
Episode Highlights
The Illusion of the Perfect Partner: Why waiting for your partner to do everything right so you can finally relax is a recipe for deep control, not deep love.
Devotion to Ego vs. Devotion to Intimacy: How to catch yourself in the micro-moments when you are withholding love, and the practice of opening your heart even when you want to be right.
Meg’s Moment of Tension: Unpacking a recent argument over a camping trip to reveal the deeper truth of self-abandonment and unexpressed desires.
The Power of Self-Inquiry: Why surrendering your "story" of the argument is required to drop into the deeper truth of your relationship.
Emotional Foreplay for Men: Understanding how to attune to your partner’s nervous system. Why men often need non-verbal emotional foreplay (like physical touch) the same way women often need sexual foreplay.
The Danger of Forced Vulnerability: Why demanding your partner to "just open up" when their nervous system is in shutdown mode is a violation of their safety.
Unconditional Ownership: The absolute power of taking deep accountability for your projections without expecting a single thing in return.

28 Jul 2026
00:46:28
The TRUTH About the Manosphere, Toxic Masculinity, and True Masculine Leadership
Welcome back lovers! In this spicy and deeply raw episode of Sex, Love and Everything In Between, we are unpacking the cultural phenomenon of the "Manosphere" and the modern crisis of toxic masculinity.
After watching a recent documentary on the topic, we had to take the conversation to the mics. We explore the stark difference between immature, fear-based control and mature, service-led masculine leadership. Why are so many men terrified of vulnerability? Why does our culture push the narrative that it isn't safe for men to feel?
We dive deep into the psychology of the "little boy" searching for his father's validation through money, status, and control, and how this spiritual dehydration is impacting relationships, women, and the next generation of young boys. Most importantly, Jacob shares his profound insights from men's work, highlighting the incredible healing power of emotional safety, brotherhood, and bringing deep presence back into the home.
If you are a man wanting to step into your true power, a woman desiring deep leadership in partnership, or a parent raising boys in today's world—this episode is for you.
What We Cover:
The dangerous illusion of the "Manosphere" and red-pill culture.
True masculine leadership vs. dictatorship in relationships.
Why suppressing emotions destroys intimacy and true connection.
The deep "spiritual dehydration" driving the pursuit of money, cars, and status.
How fathers can protect young boys and heal the culture by simply being present.

Episode Highlights & Key Takeaways:
[00:00 - 03:00] Intro & Catching Up: Jacob and Meg check in from "cloud nine," talking about their current spiritual era, before diving into the heavy topic of the day: the manosphere and toxic masculinity.
[03:00 - 07:00] The Illusion of Leadership: Meg breaks down a triggering quote from the manosphere, explaining why a man acting like a "dictator" is not the true masculine leadership that women actually yearn for. Mature leadership is in service to a partner's nervous system.
[07:00 - 11:30] Leading with Fear vs. Connection: Jacob explains how the inability to be vulnerable causes men to lead with fear and control. We discuss the lack of relational attunement and the "frenetic feminine energy" of constantly needing to be stimulated.
[11:30 - 17:30] The Myth of the Stoic Man: Should men hide their emotions from their partners? Jacob explains the difference between emotional dumping and true emotional containment. We discuss the vital importance of men having a safe brotherhood to process decades of pain so they can bring tenderness back to their relationships.
[17:30 - 24:00] Terrified of Love & The "Daddy" Wound: Jacob dissects how a lack of emotional safety leads men to chase material wealth, cars, and status. We explore how these outward displays of dominance are often just a wounded little boy begging for a father's validation and attention.
[24:00 - 35:00] Changing the Culture of Men: How do we shift away from this? It starts with presence. Jacob shares beautiful stories from his men's work retreats and everyday life, emphasizing that men don't need to be hardened—they need to be seen, held, and allowed to have emotional range.
[35:00 - 45:30] Protecting the Next Generation: The conversation turns to parenting. Meg and Jacob discuss the critical role of the father's presence in the home to protect the innocence of young boys. Why true success isn't about working yourself to the bone for material things, but serving at the "sacred altar" of your dinner table.
[45:30 - End] Outro & Call to Action: Final thoughts on finding freedom in connection rather than consumption. Don't forget to subscribe and follow Jacob and Meg on Instagram!
Hey lovers! We are so excited to share this incredibly potent conversation with the one and only Preston Smiles. Preston is a devoted husband, a father of four, a profound teacher, and a massive pillar in the personal development and men's work space.
In this episode, we dive deep into the messy, beautiful, and deeply spiritual practice of long-term partnership and parenthood. Preston opens up about his personal journey—from facing a life-altering heart condition at 25 to dedicating his life to service—and how that shaped the way he shows up for his family today.
We explore what it really means to hold boundaries with children through deep love and containment, why our partners trigger our hidden "outlawed parts," and how true relationships require us to burn down our fantasies of the "happily ever after" to build something real. We also have a deeply moving conversation about honoring the feminine, the profound biological journey women go through, and why our culture’s fear of aging is robbing us of true eldership. This conversation is a massive expansion on what it means to be a devoted partner, parent, and human. Grab a coffee, settle in, and let's get into it. Enjoy the episode!
In this episode, we cover: [00:00:00] The Ripple Effect of Brotherhood: Jacob shares how Preston’s work filtered through the men’s coaching community and impacted his own marriage and business long before they ever met. [00:03:19] A Vow of Service: Preston discusses the heart condition he faced 20 years ago that completely changed the trajectory of his life and led to his commitment to never gatekeep his wisdom. [00:08:51] The Four States of Consciousness: Moving from life happening to you, by you, through you, and ultimately, as you—and how to apply this to the chaos of daily family life. [00:13:50] Conscious Parenting & Containment: How Preston navigates raising four kids, parenting to each child's unique nervous system, and the power of separating a child from the environment without isolating them from your love. [00:23:28] True Wealth: Why the ultimate inheritance you leave your children isn't in a bank account, but in how they witness you loving your partner and treating the world. [00:33:18] The Delusion of Marriage & "Outlawed Parts": Grieving the rom-com fantasy of relationships, burning down the first iteration of a marriage, and how we attract partners who mirror the parts of ourselves we’ve suppressed. [00:50:38] Honoring the Feminine: Preston’s deep reverence for the biological realities women endure (from menstruation to perimenopause) and the importance of men building the capacity to hold the "weather" of the feminine. [00:55:56] The Fear of Aging & Lack of Eldership: A candid conversation on society's obsession with freezing women in time, the denial of the life cycle, and what we lose when we stop valuing the aging process. [01:03:59] Energetics of Intimacy: The profound difference between extracting pleasure and deepening connection in the bedroom, and how intention changes everything. [01:11:16] Connect with Preston: Where to find Preston online and learn more about The Bridge Experience.

EP122: The 7-Day Sex Challenge, Toddler Chaos, & Ending Self-Abandonment
15 Jul 2026
00:59:27
Hey lovers, we are finally back! After an eight-month hiatus of navigating the wild, destructive, and profoundly beautiful reality of raising a toddler (and saving our podcast equipment from him), we are back in the studio and so ready to reconnect with you all.
In this episode, we dive straight into the deep end by unpacking our recent "7 Days of Sex" challenge. We share why we decided to treat intimacy as a devoted, daily practice, how we navigated the nights we were exhausted, and why calibrating your desires to the present moment is a game-changer for your relationship.
Meg gets incredibly real about "self-abandonment" in sex—why so many women endure rather than communicate their true desires, and how fully inhabiting your pleasure in the bedroom transforms who you are out in the world. Jacob opens up about his recent internal shifts: letting go of the pressure to always be "useful," embracing his inherent worth, and deciding to stop living in the "when/then" scarcity trap.
We also explore the illusion of control in relationships, why you shouldn't tie your ability to relax to whether or not your partner takes out the bins, and how to hold the visionary desire for more while remaining deeply anchored in the beauty of right now.
Grab a coffee (or a glass of wine), and let's get into it. Enjoy the episode!

Episode 121: Be His Priestess Not His Coach W/ Leola
01 Oct 2025
01:08:54
“When you stop mothering and start embodying, you become unforgettable.”
We went there with Leola. Straight into the shadows. Into pussy as the temple, the mystery school. Into the raw alchemy of rage, grief, lust, and power. Into the line between being a man’s coach or his priestess, and why only one will unlock real intimacy.
This isn’t theory. This is the truth about tantra, about the shame wired into our bodies, about the centuries-long war on the dark feminine. Leola doesn’t soften it, because she knows: the dark feminine is the portal. To sovereignty. To radiance. To sex that doesn’t just scratch an itch, but changes who you are.
If you’ve ever felt split between the “good girl” mask and the wild one clawing underneath, this episode is your permission slip to burn the script and take back your fire.
Here’s What We Dive Into:
Nervous system regulation as the gateway to power & pleasure
What it really means to “descend into your pussy”
Light feminine, dark feminine, and their shadows explained
The 3 gifts of the dark feminine: sensuality, emotional alchemy & oracular power
How culture demonized women’s magic (and how we reclaim it)
Real talk on tantra beyond the sexual stereotypes
Why most sex in media & porn distorts reality for women
Loving men well: priestess vs coach energy in relationship
Parenting, sex ed & raising kids in a sex-positive home

Episode 120: Our 7 Days of Sex
17 Sep 2025
01:13:58
“I love wanting you so badly I could tear your skin off — and slowing down enough to feel it in my whole body.”
We didn’t set out to make this an “experiment.” We just had sex one night, remembered how fucking good it is, and said: what if we did this every day for a week?
So this is the real story of what happened when two new-ish parents, with a one-year-old co-sleeping, two businesses under one roof, and not a lot of free time… decided to make sex a daily devotional practice.
Some nights were primal and filthy, some nights tantric and slow, one night was just a blowjob (with all the frills), and one night flopped completely. But every single day cracked something open. More play. More hunger. More aliveness in the house.
We’re not handing out prescriptions here. We’re just telling you the truth of what happened when we made sex non-negotiable for seven days straight.
Here’s What We Dive Into:
Day 1 in Jacob’s teenage bedroom (Father’s Day sex, primal as hell)
The reality of parenting + co-sleeping and why intimacy gets shoved aside
“The tantric night”, soaking, breathing, and being with what is
Blowjobs as ceremony (why Meg refuses to do them without the frills)
The dark masculine: ravishing, claiming, and holding hunger with consciousness
How anal only works when there’s deep surrender and turn-on
The night that didn’t work, and why forcing sex never feels good
What seven days taught us about variety, discipline, and devotion

Episode 119: Why Men Matter & The Gathering Of Men
10 Sep 2025
00:59:23
“Every man deserves a place to unravel, to be witnessed, and to remember who he is.”
In this episode we go straight into the heart of The Gathering of Men, the four-day immersion that has become a fire in the belly of men’s work in Australia. 200 men, fathers and sons, elders and young ones, leaders from across the country… all circling up to wrestle, to sing, to drum, to weep, to celebrate, and to remember what it really means to be a man.
Jacob shares what fatherhood stripped from him, how it forced him into deeper responsibility, and why suffering through life isn’t noble, it’s avoidance. He talks about the three pillars of the Gathering… challenge, celebration, and camaraderie, and why without brotherhood, none of it sticks.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when men are willing to be raw, messy, creative, and real together, this is it.
🔥Here’s What We Dive Into:
“Suffering isn’t strength. The pain of becoming is.”
“Every boy deserves more than one father—he deserves a community of uncles.”
Why rites of passage matter (and what happens when men never get them)
How poetry, music, wrestling, and storytelling all belong at TGOM
The three pillars: challenge, celebration, and brotherhood
What happens when men stop proving themselves and start remembering themselves
Why TGOM is a prayer, not a product

Episode 118 - Kill the Nice Guy w/ Traver Boehm
27 Aug 2025
01:23:32
“When good men get their wants and needs met, the whole world benefits.”
Meg’s off holding it down at her feminine leadership retreat, so I’ve got the mic today with one of the most solid brothers in men’s work, Traver Boehm from Man Uncivilized.
We went straight in.
No tiptoeing, no ‘be nice so everyone’s comfortable’ shit.
We’re talking about how men lose themselves trying to please women, how to stop living as a servant to the queen, and what it actually takes to reclaim your mission.
We got into the initiations that strip you back to your bones, the kind you don’t buy a ticket for, and why they’re the making of you if you’ve got the balls to stay in them.
This is about remembering who the fuck you are and leading your life like it matters.
🔥Here’s What We Dive Into:
The epidemic of men living as “servants to the queen” instead of sovereign leaders
Why your ego’s dream life might burn you to the ground, and how to find what your soul actually wants
The terrifying leap from control to purpose, and why it’s magnetic as hell
How to step into your full power without destroying the people around you
Dark nights of the soul as sacred gateways, not tragedies
What real initiation looks like (hint: it’s not a weekend workshop)
Why the medicine of an initiation has to be integrated back home
The role of elders and how to rebuild real community around them
Finding joy even in the middle of your deepest tests
The dangerous gift: being willing to risk your identity for something bigger
About Traver Boehm
Traver Boehm is the author of the books “Today I Rise”, “Man UNcivilized” and “28 Days In Darkness”.
He’s a two-time TEDx speaker, men’s coach, and the founder of the UNcivilized Men’s Movement.
He’s helped men all over the world to become UNcivilized as they wake up to the power of their hearts, the brilliance of their bodies, and the wisdom of their souls so they can blaze their own path by uniquely blending both the primal and the divine within them.
He is dedicated to doing his part to help end the suffering in men, and the suffering caused by men, by guiding them through their own journey into an actualized version of masculinity.

Episode 117: Parenting, Sex & Trusting the Truth of the Moment with Meg & Jacob
14 Aug 2025
01:12:23
“If we don’t reconnect as lovers, everything else suffers.”
A plan is nice, until real life shows up.
This episode started with a strict schedule: record the podcast, tick the boxes, get it done.
Instead, tech failed, parenting drained us, and the space between us felt heavy.
What happened next? We scrapped the plan, chose each other, and everything changed.
We talk about the slow creep of disconnection in busy seasons, why intimacy is the first thing to go when you’re in survival mode, and the kind of generosity that doesn’t always look like doing more…it looks like pausing, softening, and letting the truth of the moment lead.
It’s messy, honest, and proof that sometimes the most productive thing you can do for your relationship is to stop everything and reconnect.
🔥 Here’s What We Dive Into:
Why intimacy drops to the bottom of the list in survival seasons (and how to bring it back)
The “truth of the moment” vs. the plan you thought you had
Using sex as reconnection, not avoidance
The unspoken generosity in letting your partner have space without punishment
Breaking cycles of reactivity before they spiral
Choosing depth over staying “on schedule”
What happens when you’re willing to sacrifice the plan for real connection

Episode 116: Becoming a Healthy Male Role Model for Yourself, Your Partner, Your Children and Your Community w/ Nic Warner
09 Jul 2025
01:00:47
“There’s a reason brotherhood feels confronting: it won’t let you stay the same.”
This one’s for the men who are tired of playing a role. And for the women who are tired of watching them pretend.
In today’s episode, I sat down with my brother, Nick Warner, a father, men’s facilitator, and one of the most grounded, embodied leaders I know. We get into the shadow side of men’s work, the trap of emotional dumping, the chaos of Neo-Tantra, and the slow, sacred work of actually becoming trustworthy.
We talk about fatherhood as initiation, the pressure to perform polarity, and why true devotion has nothing to prove.
This isn’t about masculine aesthetic. This is about leadership, when no one’s watching.
🔥 Here’s What We Dive Into:
The illusion of freedom in “uncommitted” masculine identity
Why polyamory & open relating often mask intimacy wounds
The knight vs. king archetypes — and how men get stuck performing
Spiritual bypassing in men’s work and Neo-Tantra spaces
The line between sacred vulnerability vs. emotional collapse
What real devotion looks like in fatherhood and marriage
How brotherhood humbles and forges the masculine path
The question that ends the performance: Who do you serve?

Episode 115: Traditional Gender Roles (Our Thoughts)
25 Jun 2025
01:06:36
“If we don’t define roles with love, we inherit them with resentment.”
We got fired up by a viral reel floating around online recently…
A young man was proudly sharing how he wants to “provide” for his woman—so she can spend her days going on “hot girl walks” and avoid life’s challenges.
Sweet, right?
Kind of…
Because in the same breath, he spoke about how men desire a woman who is “relaxed” and “calm” at the end of the day.
Aka:
“I’ll provide for you… as long as you behave.”
“I’ll give you a comfortable life… as long as you make mine easy.”
That’s not real provision.
That’s control disguised as care.
That’s conditional love dressed up as devotion.
So yeah… we had a LOT to say. And we recorded a whole episode unpacking it.
🔥 Here’s What We Dive Into:
Why that viral reel about “providing for a woman” sparked something in us
Self-serving provision vs. provision rooted in devotion & love
When providership can be used to control a woman
The difference between financial provision & emotional provision
What a deep woman is truly yearning for
How we personally navigate gender roles in our relationship
And so much more.
This one’s big. Let’s go there.

Episode 114: Masculinity In The Modern World W Kale Kaalehaki
11 Jun 2025
01:02:57
“Without lineage, a man becomes a wanderer in his own body.”
This one’s a rite of passage in itself.
Jacob sits down with Kale Kaalehaki, cultural revivalist, father, and co-founder of Sacred Souls, to speak on what most modern men are missing, not breathwork, not biohacks, not six-packs… but belonging.
Together, they unpack why grief is the doorway to manhood, how routine without reverence keeps us hollow, and what it truly means to return to land, lineage, and life as sacred.
This one’s for the men who’ve trained, regulated, achieved, and still feel hollow.
This one’s for the ones ready to come back to land, to ritual, to story, to fire.
To what was never supposed to be forgotten.
If you’ve ever felt like your nervous system was regulated but your soul still felt lost, this conversation is the fire you didn’t know you needed.
🔥 Here’s What We Dive Into:
Why the “self-made man” is a myth rooted in disconnection
The spiritual condition of modernity, and why most men are culturally orphaned
The difference between initiation and rite of passage (and why both matter)
How routine without ritual leaves men spiritually starving
Parenting, grief, and the unexpected initiations of fatherhood
Sacred reciprocity: reclaiming relationship with land, air, and water
Why nervous system work isn’t enough without soul confrontation
The return to songs, stories, offerings—and building true belonging

Ep 113: A Woman’s Desire To Feel Special
22 May 2025
00:52:03
“When a woman starts performing in her relationship, she stops being seen.”
Every word in this episode is a mirror for the woman who quietly wonders, “Do I still matter?”
Meg & Jacob crack open part two of one of their most tender, triggering, and transformational convos yet what it means for a woman to want to matter, deeply, not just in her business or family but in her relationship.
We’re diving into the difference between being needed vs. being chosen, why female significance is not the same as attention-seeking, and how the fear of being too much makes women shrink their wildest longings.
You’ll hear the real-time reflections from their own partnership, including the raw moment Meg almost gave up, and how they found each other again not in roles, but in real presence.
If you’ve ever felt unseen, under-chosen, or like you have to “earn” your seat in love… this one is going to go straight to your heart.
🔥 Here’s What We Dive Into:
The difference between being significant and being useful
Why female longing is sacred—not dramatic or needy
The silent heartbreak of becoming "just the mom" in a relationship
Jacob’s reflection on what most men miss when their woman starts to pull away
How to feel chosen again without begging for attention
Why a man’s leadership must include emotional devotion
What it actually means to see, hold, and re-choose your woman daily

EP 112: Becoming a Millionaire Mother with Cait Scudder
16 May 2025
00:55:41
“The superwoman archetype is killing us. We rise when we let ourselves be supported.”
This one’s a rewire for every ambitious mama out there.
In this powerful episode, Meg is joined by the radiant Cait Scudder, leadership mentor, mother of three, and creator of The Millionaire Mother brand, for a truth-packed convo on what it really takes to lead in business while raising kids without burning out or betraying yourself.
They go deep into the unseen mental load mothers carry, the nervous system capacity required to lead, and why we need to stop pretending we’re doing this alone. Kate shares her story of rebranding her entire business after her second baby, building home systems that actually work, and what it looks like to embody the matriarch archetype.
🔥 Here's what we dive into:
Why you don’t have to choose between your babies and your business
Releasing the "superwoman" myth and rewriting what success looks like
Masculine vs. feminine energy in motherhood + business
Why nervous system bandwidth is the foundation for sustainable leadership
The mindset shift from “good girl” to matriarch
Home SOPs, rhythms, and the sacred structure behind her success
Why receiving support is the most powerful gift you can model for your kids
If you’ve ever felt like you had to do it all to be a good mom, this episode is your permission slip to do it differently.

01 May 2025
00:59:55
"Devotion to love will ask you to put down the sword and pick up presence."
In today’s episode, we’re sharing a real and raw story straight from our recent road trip, baby meltdowns, car seat chaos, and all the feelings. What unfolded was a powerful reflection on devotion, forgiveness, and the quiet ways resentment creeps into relationships.
We’re talking about the difference between preference and truth, how to stay connected in discomfort, and why letting go is sometimes the most loving thing you can do.
If you’ve ever found yourself in a power struggle, holding onto the small stuff, or feeling like you need to be right… this one’s for you.
🔥 Here’s what we get into:
Why forgiveness isn’t about words—it’s an energy
How holding onto "small things" kills intimacy
The truth about letting go without repressing yourself
The difference between preference and truth in love
Why your nervous system holds the key to deeper connection

31 Mar 2025
01:17:54
"Motherhood in business isn’t about doing less—it’s about leading from a deeper place."
In this soul-shifting episode, Meg dives deep with Meghan into the unspoken initiation from Maiden to Mother in entrepreneurship. Whether you’re a literal mother or stepping into a new era of leadership, this transformation isn’t just about adding more responsibility—it’s about embodying a whole new version of yourself.
We’re breaking down the emotional, energetic, and strategic shifts that happen when you move beyond the hustle-and-grind approach and start leading from deep wisdom, presence, and power.

Why “doing it all” is a trap (and what actually moves the needle)
How motherhood (literal or energetic) reshapes your business and creativity
The power of slowing down to speed up in business growth

Ep 108: Becoming an Irresistible Invitation for Him to RISE w/ Jamie Elizabeth Thompson
05 Mar 2025
01:05:44
A king doesn’t rise from pressure—he rises from your invitation.
What if the very thing you're doing to get your man to lead... is the exact thing blocking him from rising?
In this soul-stretching episode, Meg sits down with intimacy coach Jamie Elizabeth Thompson to unravel the lost feminine art of becoming an irresistible invitation—the kind of woman who inspires a man's devotion and leadership without ever needing to push, demand, or manipulate.
They dive into the three biggest shadows women bring into relationships—entitlement, manipulation, and affectation—and how they silently kill intimacy without you even realizing it.
If you're craving a relationship where your man steps up, claims you, and meets you in devotion—this episode will crack you open.
Meg and Jamie also riff on:
Why controlling your man actually weakens him
The myth of the "ready-made king" (why no man comes fully formed)
The difference between preferences vs. true feminine desire
The biggest mistake women make when trying to get a man to change
Why real masculine leadership requires you to surrender your ego
The secret to being claimed without forcing it
How to inspire a man’s devotion by fully embodying your feminine power

Ep 107 - These types of men will NOT make you orgasm & more w/ Elena Rossi
26 Feb 2025
01:06:05
Your body already knows if a man is safe—are you listening to it?
Meg sits down with female libido specialist Elena Rossi to talk about the unspoken truth of women’s pleasure: safety is everything. If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t let go in the bedroom, why your libido is fading, or why some men just don’t do it for you—this episode will hit home.
Elena breaks down the 27 types of men women won’t orgasm with (yes, she made a list!) and how women confuse attraction with safety. They get into spiritual gaslighting, the illusion of conscious men, and why safety isn’t about muscles, words, or Instagram captions—it’s about how a man actually shows up.
Whether you're single, dating, or in a long-term relationship, this episode will change the way you think about sex, intimacy, and the kind of men you let into your body.
Meg and Elena also riff on:
What is the purpose of sex in a relationship?
Why so many women feel used in sex (and how to change it)
The illusion of “safe” men and why attraction ≠ safety
Why spiritual men aren’t always what they seem
The 27 types of men women won’t orgasm with
How resentment kills desire (and how to bring it back)
Three areas of safety every woman needs to check
The real reason your libido is disappearing

EP 106: Which Sacred Feminine Archetype Are You Ready to Reclaim?
19 Feb 2025
00:44:37
"If a woman pushes down any part of her, she pushes down her power."
In this solo episode, Meg dives deep into the Sacred Feminine Archetypes Quiz—a tool designed to reveal the part of you that’s been suppressed the most and is now calling for reclamation. These aren’t just personality types; they’re portals to your liberation.
Whether you resonate with the fiercely expressed woman, the deeply feeling woman, the erotically alive woman, or the body-led woman, this episode will illuminate the archetype you’re most needing to step into for deeper embodiment, power, and feminine liberation.
Meg unpacks why these archetypes have been demonized for centuries, how they’ve shaped the way women experience their bodies and voices, and how reclaiming them can radically shift your life. If you’ve ever felt like you’re too much or not enough, this conversation is your invitation to remember who the f*ck you are.
Meg also riffs on:
Why you’re not just breaking cycles—you’re remembering ancient wisdom.
The women in your lineage who were once revered for their feminine power.
A plant medicine journey that cracked open a new level of embodiment.
How feminine energy isn’t something to “learn” but something to unleash.
The micro-decisions that make you a chain breaker every single day.
Why owning your voice, sexuality, and wild feminine fire changes everything.
