- The glorification of busyness and its impact on making time for a relationship

Key quotes:

"A lot of women aren’t looking for a real man. They’re looking for a stereotype or an archetype that doesn't really exist." — Lisa Shield 

"Being busy is not necessarily a good thing. If your calendar is so packed that you don't have time for a relationship, then you're not going to be able to make room for a man in your life." — Lisa Shield 

"I see this so often with our clients. We literally beg them to have conversations with the men that they're seeing she they can get clear on where the relationship is going.  Unfortunately, because the guy is continuing to make dates with them, they wind up going along with the guys and wasting precious time because they don't want to rock the boat." — Lisa Shield 

"Playfulness is a form of vulnerability. To be playful, you cannot be self-conscious and second-guessing yourself. You need to be in the moment and at ease." — Lisa Shield

  • Men need romantic energy, not just good conversation, to feel connection.
  • Many “great” first dates fail because no spark is created.
  • Playfulness opens attraction without requiring sex.
  • Female embodiment begins with confidence and being present in your body.
  • The “bell jar” effect creates deep emotional connection by focusing fully on each other.
  • Men are often afraid of rejection and shame, so they wait for women to signal openness.
  • Touching your own body, hair, or leaning in subtly invites masculine energy.
  • Playfulness comes from the heart. Flirting can feel strategic or manipulative.
  • Sensuality is different from overt sexuality.
  • A good man understands that playfulness does not equal instant sex.
  • You always have the power to say no while staying warm and playful.
  • Boundaries work best when delivered with softness and humor.
  • Learn the difference between the short game (fast sex) and long game (emotional foundation).
  • High caliber women naturally inspire men to play the long game.
  • If a man pushes too far, playful boundary phrases preserve attraction.
  • Real intimacy grows from friendship, trust, safety, and shared experience.
  • Playfulness mirrors a man’s masculinity back to him and builds emotional investment.

    ]]>     How to Be Playful Without Leading Him On Lisa Shield- Host/Love Coach & Expert, Benjamin Shield Ph.D- CoHost/Author 00:35:57 How to Be Playful Without Leading a Man On In this rebroadcast of Getting Inside the Right Male Mind, Lisa and Benjamin Shield explore one of the most common challenges high caliber women face in dating: how to create romantic connection and playfulness without accidentally leading a man on or crossing personal boundaries. The episode opens with a question from Minerva, a client in Lisa’s advanced program, asking about female embodiment on dates while maintaining boundaries. From there, Lisa and Benjamin unpack why so many first dates feel pleasant but go nowhere and why women often walk away confused after “great” three hour conversations that never turn into second dates. They explain that conversation alone does not create attraction. Men are specifically looking for a romantic spark, not just intellectual connection. Without playfulness, embodiment, or subtle feminine energy, a date can feel more like a business meeting than the beginning of intimacy. Lisa introduces the idea of the “bell jar” connection: being fully present with a man so it feels like the rest of the world disappears. This focused presence creates emotional impact and chemistry without requiring overt sexuality. They also discuss how modern men are increasingly hesitant to initiate physical or romantic moments due to fear of rejection or being perceived negatively. Because of this, many men wait for women to signal openness. Small gestures like leaning in, light touch, eye contact, or even touching your own hair can gently open that door while keeping full control of your boundaries. A key theme is female embodiment. Confidence in your body, being grounded, relaxed, and present, is deeply attractive to men regardless of age, size, or clothing. A woman who is “in her body” naturally draws attention and creates magnetism without trying. Lisa distinguishes between playfulness and flirting. Flirting can feel strategic or manipulative, while playfulness is spontaneous, heart based, and expansive. Playfulness builds friendship, trust, and safety. Overt sexuality too early often short circuits that process. They also introduce the concept of the short game vs long game. The short game focuses on immediate sex. The long game builds emotional connection, shared experiences, trust, and respect first. Men quickly decide which game they are playing. A woman who embodies confidence, warmth, and boundaries naturally inspires a man to play the long game. For moments when things start moving faster than you want, Lisa and Benjamin share playful boundary setting phrases that keep attraction alive while slowing things down, including: “Whoa cowboy, let’s slow this down a bit.” “You have no idea how hard it is to say no to you, but let’s enjoy getting to know each other and not get ahead of ourselves just yet.” “If you’re looking to play the short game, that’s not me. I’m a long game kind of gal.” They emphasize that tone matters. Boundaries delivered playfully preserve chemistry, while harsh rejection can leave lasting emotional imprints on good men. The episode closes with a powerful reminder: you always have the power to say no. Playfulness never removes your agency. The goal is to build attraction with heart, compassion, and emotional intelligence, not performance or games. This conversation ultimately reframes dating as a collaborative dance where feminine embodiment and playful presence invite masculine leadership, creating space for real connection to grow.

  • Men are sensitive to shame; women are sensitive to fear and disconnection.
  • Connection matters more than conversation.

    Podcast: Getting Inside the Right Male Mind
    Hosts: Lisa Shield & Benjamin Shield

    What This Episode Covers:

    In this episode, Lisa and Benjamin explain why intense chemistry is not a reliable indicator of long-term compatibility—and why so many people confuse emotional fireworks with real love.

    They explore:

    🔹 Why People Rush Into Relationships

    • Romantic movies, media, and cultural myths teach us that love should be instant and dramatic.
    • Loneliness and fear of missing out push people to “lock it in” too fast.
    • Men may rush to “seal the deal” out of fear of losing a woman.
    • Women may rush because of time pressure, biological concerns, or emotional longing.

    🔹 The Hidden Cost of Rushing

    • Repeating old relationship patterns without understanding why.
    • Wasting years with emotionally unavailable or mismatched partners.
    • Financial loss through divorce, breakups, and starting over.
    • Emotional burnout from anxious-avoidant cycles.
    • Lost opportunities for true intimacy and growth.
    • Impact on children when unhealthy relationships collapse.

    🔹 What Real Love Is Built On

    Lisa and Benjamin emphasize that lasting relationships are built on:

    • Emotional safety
    • Trust
    • Shared experiences
    • Shared values
    • Emotional availability
    • Consistency between words and actions
    • Mutual generosity and effort

    Not chemistry alone.

    🔹 Why Time Is Your Most Precious Resource

    They explain how time—not attraction—is what reveals someone’s true character:

    • How they treat others
    • How they handle stress

    Podcast: Getting Inside the Right Male Mind
    Hosts: Lisa Shield & Benjamin Shield

    What This Episode Covers:

    In this episode, Lisa and Benjamin explain why intense chemistry is not a reliable indicator of long-term compatibility—and why so many people confuse emotional fireworks with real love.

    They explore:

    🔹 Why People Rush Into Relationships

    • Romantic movies, media, and cultural myths teach us that love should be instant and dramatic.
    • Loneliness and fear of missing out push people to “lock it in” too fast.
    • Men may rush to “seal the deal” out of fear of losing a woman.
    • Women may rush because of time pressure, biological concerns, or emotional longing.

    🔹 The Hidden Cost of Rushing

    • Repeating old relationship patterns without understanding why.
    • Wasting years with emotionally unavailable or mismatched partners.
    • Financial loss through divorce, breakups, and starting over.
    • Emotional burnout from anxious-avoidant cycles.
    • Lost opportunities for true intimacy and growth.
    • Impact on children when unhealthy relationships collapse.

    🔹 What Real Love Is Built On

    Lisa and Benjamin emphasize that lasting relationships are built on:

    • Emotional safety
    • Trust
    • Shared experiences
    • Shared values
    • Emotional availability
    • Consistency between words and actions
    • Mutual generosity and effort

    Not chemistry alone.

    🔹 Why Time Is Your Most Precious Resource

    They explain how time—not attraction—is what reveals someone’s true character:

    • How they treat others
    • How they handle stress
    • How they show up consistently
    • Whether they make space for you in their life

    🔹 How to Date Consciously Instead of Desperately

    They discuss practical ways to slow down:

    • Dating multiple people instead of fixating on one
    • Not rushing into exclusivity
    • Waiting before becoming sexual
    • Doing background checks

The hosts unpack why both extremes happen, emphasizing that these behaviors are usually rooted in nervousness, insecurity, lack of awareness, or fear of judgment—not disinterest or malice. Lisa and Benjamin explain how many men talk excessively in an attempt to impress, prove they are safe, or avoid uncomfortable silence, while others stay quiet because they are introverted, inexperienced, wounded from past relationships, or afraid of being shamed. Throughout the episode, they share real-life examples, client stories, and personal experiences to show how misunderstandings around communication styles can cause women to prematurely dismiss potentially great men. This episode matters because it helps listeners interpret male communication more accurately, respond more skillfully during dates, and decide when to gently address an issue, give a man time, or gracefully exit a situation. Rather than judging or forcing connection, Lisa and Benjamin encourage relational conversation, emotional safety, and patience—allowing genuine connection to develop naturally.

    Overdressing can signal:

    1. High maintenance expectations
    2. Insecurity or compensation
    3. Emotional distance or self-absorption

    Underdressing can signal:

    1. Low interest or effort
    2. Ambivalence about the date
    3. Lack of consideration for the man or occasion

    Men subconsciously ask:

    1. “Can I relax with her?”
    2. “Would I feel proud introducing her to my world?”

    Clothing that feels like a costume blocks authentic connection

    Too much makeup, jewelry, fake lashes, extreme heels, or overly sexualized outfits are common turn-offs

    Showing too much skin can create mixed signals and embarrassment rather than attraction

    Comfort in one’s body is one of the biggest turn-ons for men

    Classic, understated, well-fitted clothing is often the safest and most attractive choice

    A crisp white button-down, flattering jeans, and comfortable boots are suggested as a reliable first-date outfit

    Dating is about approachability, warmth, and emotional availability—not dazzling or performing

    Authenticity allows a man to imagine a future, not just admire an image

In this episode of Getting Inside the Right Male Mind, Lisa and Benjamin Shield explore how overdressing and underdressing can quietly sabotage attraction, connection, and second dates. From men’s visual wiring to the difference between style and costume, this conversation reveals how clothing choices influence a man’s ability to relax, connect, and imagine a future with you, all through the lens of authenticity and emotional availability Lisa and Benjamin return from a brief hiatus to tackle a deceptively simple but critical dating topic: how you dress on a date—especially the first one—can make or break connection. They explain that because men are highly visual and first impressions are lasting, both overdressing and underdressing can create emotional distance. Over styling can make a woman seem high-maintenance, insecure, unapproachable, or more like an image than a person. Underdressing, on the other hand, can signal disinterest, low effort, or lack of care. Throughout the episode, Benjamin shares how men unconsciously extrapolate what a woman’s appearance means for long-term compatibility—imagining daily life, social settings, family introductions, and future ease. Lisa emphasizes that dating is not a fashion show, but an opportunity for authentic connection. Together, they highlight that true attraction comes from comfort, approachability, and clothes that move naturally with a woman’s body, allowing her real essence to come through.

The answer may surprise you. It’s often not fear of commitment — it’s a lack of emotional connection skills. Together, Lisa and Benjamin explore the critical difference between men who are afraid of intimacy and men who genuinely don’t know how to emotionally connect. Through personal stories, psychological insight, and real-world dating experience, they reveal why love, patience, and “being the right woman” can never fix emotional unavailability — and how understanding this truth can save women years of heartbreak. This episode offers clarity, compassion, and a roadmap for recognizing whether a relationship has real emotional potential — or if it’s time to let go and move forward.

    • Why the “Where is this going?” conversation often feels logical to women—but threatening to men
    • How men show commitment through consistency, protection, and integration rather than labels
    • The difference between relationship progression and relationship pressure
    • Why anxiety (even when unspoken) undermines attraction and emotional safety
    • How timing and delivery determine whether a commitment conversation brings a man closer—or pushes him away

    Key Insights

    • Men often interpret direct commitment questions as a sign they’ve already failed to meet expectations
    • A man who is progressing naturally may feel there is “nothing more he can do” when pressed for certainty
    • Emotional safety—not verbal assurance—is what allows men to open up and move forward
    • Praise, appreciation, and acknowledgment of what is working create more clarity than interrogation
    • Actions over time provide more reliable information than verbal promises

    Practical Takeaways

    • Start commitment conversations from appreciation, not concern
    • Replace direct demands for definition with open-ended invitations to share
    • Give men time to process emotional questions instead of requiring immediate answers
    • Observe behavior patterns rather than relying on verbal reassurance
    • Treat dating like a skill set—timing, tone, and awareness matter

For successful women, asking for clarity feels responsible and efficient. But from a man’s perspective, that same conversation can register as pressure, dissatisfaction, or an unspoken performance review—especially when he believes he’s already demonstrating commitment through his actions. This conversation reframes commitment as a process men experience internally before they verbalize it, and explains how women can invite deeper connection without triggering anxiety, defensiveness, or withdrawal. If you’re navigating online dating or long-term dating and want your relationships to progress with the same intention and intelligence you bring to the rest of your life, this episode provides a smarter, more effective framework.

Lisa opens with her own story of learning to trust men despite a painful early experience of feeling invisible and unsupported. She shares how disheartening it feels to watch recent cultural and political shifts: Roe v. Wade being overturned, attacks on reproductive rights, defunding women-dominated fields, and the rise of misogynistic influencers gaining traction with young men. Benjamin brings his perspective on why some men respond to women’s strength with insecurity and control, how cultural conditioning fuels that dynamic, and why certain men gravitate toward misogynistic voices. He also explains why many of these extreme figures dominate the headlines—they are loud outliers, not a reflection of most men. Together, they explore the real question women keep asking: How do you trust men when the world feels hostile to women? Benjamin breaks down how women can date with both openness and boundaries, how to identify secure men through consistent actions, and why going slowly matters more now than ever. Lisa speaks directly to the women who’ve stopped believing good men even exist—and shares how her own belief helped her find a partner she deeply respects. Despite the noise in the culture, they end with a message of grounded hope: There are good, emotionally healthy, respectful men out there—and women who stay present, patient, and discerning will find them.

    • It’s not about being overtly sexual—it’s about being grounded and fully alive.
    • Let yourself be present and expressive, and men will be drawn to your feminine energy.

    Warmth

    • Genuine warmth makes a man feel safe, seen, and emotionally connected.
    • Show empathy and emotional availability—especially when he's vulnerable.
    • Small gestures, like a gentle touch or holding space for him, go a long way.

What we discuss here is something you won’t hear from other coaches—I bring a unique lens to the challenges smart, successful women face in modern dating.

    • The difference between being confident vs. coming across as masculine
    • How to embrace your femininity without “dumbing yourself down”
    • Why men do want strong, successful women—and how to let them in
    • The importance of learning to receive, not reject, a man's gestures

    You don’t need to be less of who you are—you just need to learn how to show up in your full, feminine power.

    Whether you're getting lots of first dates but no meaningful connections—or you're just tired of hearing that you're “too much”—this episode is for YOU.

    Welcome to another enlightening episode of Getting Inside the RIGHT Male Mind, hosted by Lisa Shield and Benjamin Shield. Today, we dive deep into the emotional quagmire of breadcrumbing in relationships—a toxic dynamic where one person gives minimal effort, keeping the other clinging to the hope of something more meaningful. In this episode titled "Why We Breadcrumb and How It’s Holding You Back from Real Love," Lisa and Benjamin explore the intricate power imbalances and emotional manipulation inherent in breadcrumbing, highlighting its damaging effects on both individuals involved.

    We'll discuss the pervasive patterns of mixed signals, avoidance of deep conversations, and last-minute plans, which often leave the breadcrumbed individual feeling undervalued and frustrated. Through personal anecdotes, client stories, and psychological insights, our hosts emphasize the critical importance of self-love, self-compassion, and the courage to walk away from unhealthy relational patterns.

Decoding the behaviors of men who might seem to avoid commitment, Lisa clarifies that not all men who appear avoidant are averse to intimacy. With personal anecdotes and two decades of expertise, she delves into the diverse motivations that steer men away from long-term attachments—be it the pursuit of a career, valuing their freedom, or complex family dynamics rooted in their childhood.

    Lisa discusses why some men maintain a push-pull dynamic, toggling between attraction and the desire for space, and how their partners can take this behavior the wrong way. she also sheds light on the male need for respect and autonomy.

    This episode offers actionable steps for women seeking to get closer to understanding the men in their lives. Lisa serves as a beacon of hope, asserting that selecting a compatible partner isn't a fantasy. It is a realistic goal for any woman ready to invest in herself.

    "Oxytocin makes a woman feel bonded to a man, especially when we are having repeated orgasms with him. We start to feel like, “Oh, my God, if I'm feeling this way, he must be feeling this way. If I want to bond with him and I'm feeling emotionally connected to him, he must be feeling the same way because we were both in that bedroom together, and we both had the same experience.” And yet, it's not the same for a man as it is for us. Men can compartmentalize sex. They can get turned on and excited, but those feelings do not necessarily translate into wanting a relationship with a certain woman."

She offers a personal and detailed account of her experiences dealing with narcissistic individuals and provides professional insights drawing from her own struggles.

    Lisa shares how a willingness to face the worst parts of herself led her to a fulfilling and enduring 21-year marriage. To illustrate how facing adversity can lead to our biggest breakthroughs, she shares about being humiliated by and standing up to her mentor while getting her Master’s degree.

    Quotes:

    "I am so disheartened when I read all of the reports out there about how many people are giving up on finding love and resigning themselves to staying single."

    — Lisa Shield

    "If we see life as a school and all of the experiences we're having as life lessons, we are able to move forward in a better way towards our goals and dreams."

    — Lisa Shield 

    "They've actually done studies, and they've shown that when it comes to romantic signaling, women actually send the first message, not the man. So the woman signals to the man that it is safe for him to approach her."

    — Lisa Shield

    "You've got to send men the signals. You've got to smile. You've got to run your fingers through your hair and flirt a bit, or men won't approach you in public."

    "Narcissists can tell which women will be harder from the ones that will be easier to manipulate.

    "You don't want a man who offers you false flattery to win your favor, which is what narcissists often do."

    The Power of Spontaneity: "And I was actually surprised because I don't do spontaneous things typically. I always make long and hard decisions and I do all the analysis and think about. But I guess we just clicked and I made that spontaneous decision at the end of our call, which was supposed to be an hour and a half."

    — Elaine

    Understanding Grief Cycles in Retirement: "Because I was also having grief cycles from the retirement, which I didn't have the first or second year after I lost my husband."

    — Elaine

    Reflecting on Past Relationships: "I think the piece that resonates with me the most is the exercise where you go back and do an analysis of your past relationship, from your parents to people you dated, to people you were married. And it's a group, but it's individual. And I was scared to death to do it on my late husband. Right. And I talked to Rebecca, my coach, and, you know, this one worries me, because I try to think of all of the positives, and you have to come up with positives and negatives. I haven't tried to think backwards, well, this could have been better, and that could have been better because he passed and he had a good marriage. Well, I did the exercise, and it shocked me because he had a lot of the traits that all of my past relationships had."

    — Elaine

    Embracing Femininity and Overcoming Attachment Styles: "And being able to step back and let the guy be the guy and be playful, that was hard for me, being playful. But you gave all the tips and the tricks and the samples and the other women that we can talk to all the time, we all kind of come up with little things that we could do."

    — Elaine 

    Exploring Modern Dating: "Because what I wanted to do was get comfortable with the whole process, tap into my naked data, and be curious and open minded."

    — Elaine 

    Dating Priorities and Compatibility: "Even if he had the money, he'd be uncomfortable, and so I would use that as my. Instead of just, oh, he doesn't make enough money to do what I want to do because, I don't know, maybe he's got millions, but does he like to travel the way? Does he like to eat out the places I like to eat? Does he like to do the things I like to do?"

    — Elaine

    The Power of Vulnerability in New Relationships: "I went in this with, I'm going to just be open and vulnerable because I don't have time, right? I could be dead tomorrow, so I want to make sure this is the right fit."

    The Power of Spontaneity: "And I was actually surprised because I don't do spontaneous things typically. I always make long and hard decisions and I do all the analysis and think about. But I guess we just clicked and I made that spontaneous decision at the end of our call, which was supposed to be an hour and a half."

    — Elaine

    Understanding Grief Cycles in Retirement: "Because I was also having grief cycles from the retirement, which I didn't have the first or second year after I lost my husband."

    — Elaine

    Reflecting on Past Relationships: "I think the piece that resonates with me the most is the exercise where you go back and do an analysis of your past relationship, from your parents to people you dated, to people you were married. And it's a group, but it's individual. And I was scared to death to do it on my late husband. Right. And I talked to Rebecca, my coach, and, you know, this one worries me, because I try to think of all of the positives, and you have to come up with positives and negatives. I haven't tried to think backwards, well, this could have been better, and that could have been better because he passed and he had a good marriage. Well, I did the exercise, and it shocked me because he had a lot of the traits that all of my past relationships had."

    — Elaine

    Embracing Femininity and Overcoming Attachment Styles: "And being able to step back and let the guy be the guy and be playful, that was hard for me, being playful. But you gave all the tips and the tricks and the samples and the other women that we can talk to all the time, we all kind of come up with little things that we could do."

    — Elaine 

    Exploring Modern Dating: "Because what I wanted to do was get comfortable with the whole process, tap into my naked data, and be curious and open minded."

    — Elaine 

    Dating Priorities and Compatibility: "Even if he had the money, he'd be uncomfortable, and so I would use that as my. Instead of just, oh, he doesn't make enough money to do what I want to do because, I don't know, maybe he's got millions, but does he like to travel the way? Does he like to eat out the places I like to eat? Does he like to do the things I like to do?"

    — Elaine

    The Power of Vulnerability in New Relationships: "I went in this with, I'm going to just be open and vulnerable because I don't have time, right? I could be dead tomorrow, so I want to make sure this is the right fit."

    — Elaine 

    Finding Love in the Digital Age: "And that's what started our connection, because I had also gone through a journey where I lost a bunch of weight, too. So we had that in common."

    — Elaine

    Personal Development Courses: "And it makes you feel so good after you take it that you actually start looking forward to it."

    — Elaine

    Investing in Personal Growth: "Who better to invest in is me. What I didn't know is how much value I would get out of it until I started down the process. And to me, I got every dollar out of it and to justify it."

    Key quotes:

    "You attract certain characteristics maybe because of childhood. For example, daughters of alcoholics attract alcoholics, and they're attractive to them because that's what they know. So you have to really work on yourself to change that pattern and to work on yourself and be attracted to other types of men or situations." — Elena 

    "The course was the best thing I bought for me out of anything. It doesn't compare to any clothing, jewelry, furniture, car, anything, because that's an investment in me." — Elena

    “It seems like she goes out of her way to recognize the effort I put into the relationship. And again, that's just something that I wasn't accustomed to. And I try to do the same thing again…we both got lucky in that we both try to compliment, thank, and appreciate the other person. I think that goes a tremendous distance in making a relationship healthy." — Heath 

    “I'm empowering my female clients with tools and insight into male behavior so that we can shift ourselves because that's where our power lies. We're not going to change men. The way we're going to change our relationship with men is by changing the way we relate to them." — Lisa Shield

    "I learned a great amount of information, and I enjoyed dating so much more after the class because before it was frustrating, it's scary, it's anxious, and it was a very different experience." — Elena

    “What you always were saying, Lisa: wonderful men are out there. It's just something we need to see in our mind and change our mind." — Elena

    "I think many women come into relationships, and they figure, look, he's the giver, I'm the receiver, and it's all about me and me getting my needs met. And that often men don't often get their needs met, and women may think that they are. But we really teach the women in our course how to be great partners." — Lisa Shield 

    "I'm more attracted to the person that Elena is than what she looks like. She's beautiful, but I'm more attracted to parts of her that I have seen through our interactions." — Heath

    "To be so in love, to meet somebody at this age, to find somebody who will accept your children…The hundred miles or so that you were apart. None of that mattered in the end." — Lisa Shield

There's no resolving it, and the person is in complete control when the relationship starts going out." — Benjamin Shield

We'll discuss why men search for a partner who makes their lives bigger, how your past traumas can turn into a desire to control men, and why it is so important to understand how controlling behaviors push good men away. The conversation doesn't end there. Lisa sheds light on the damaging impact these dynamics have on the emotional well-being of men and how women can recognize the fine line between care and control.

    - Impact of Lisa’s father's absence and behavior on personal relationships

    - Her realization about the impact of blaming parents for relationship struggles

    - Deciding to transform and not be defined by the past

    - Transitioning from blaming to taking responsibility for one’s own happiness

    - Lisa’s experience of rejection and fear originating from the father-daughter relationship

    - Her decision to seek and attract qualities in a partner that were lacking in the father

    - Meeting the right partner after personal growth and emotional healing

    - Letting go of past baggage and emotional wounds from previous relationships

     

    Key quotes:

    "I’d meet somebody and tell them my story. Then I meet someone else, and I tell them my story. Eventually, I started to see how inane and boring it is to keep retelling your story as if that's who you are." — Lisa Shield

    “It hit me that carrying all of this blame and this old story that it was my father's fault that I couldn't have a healthy relationship with a man was getting in my way." — Lisa Shield

    "I decided that if I couldn't heal my relationship with my own father, that I could still heal my relationships with men." — Lisa Shield

    "I went on 96 1st dates. The 96th date was my husband Benjamin. The whole time I was putting myself out there, as I was sitting across from a man on a date, I often felt like being rejected by my father all over again. Those fears would come up, and I would have to deal with them. I would sit with my feelings, I would love myself, and I would talk myself off the ledge." — Lisa Shield

    "Instead of using my relationship with my father as an excuse for why I couldn't have the kind of relationship I wanted, I used it as the reason why I had to go out and find the kind of guy I wanted…I knew I had the power to walk forward, to acknowledge that my relationship with my father was never going to be what I wanted, but that I could get out there and do the work and face my fears and learn how to separate the good men from the not so good men and find a Guardian of My Soul." — Lisa Shield

    "I had to learn how to love myself. No matter what was going on around me, no matter whether a guy wrote back to me or asked me on a second date or not, I knew that I had to keep moving forward, healing my heart, and loving myself." — Lisa Shield

    - How Lisa’s course facilitated their mutual understanding

    - The importance of making lifelong connections and identifying relationship needs

    - Learning to be emotionally vulnerable and its impact on relationships

     

    Key quotes:

    "I realized that I needed some help, some different type of help that I wasn't getting anywhere else in the dating world." — Caroline 

    "I would have rather been liked for something I wasn't than disliked for something I was. I was just more concerned with the approval." — Caroline

    “So it took just enough heartbreaks for me, honestly, to realize that, yes, I was doing like reading books on dating and love and how to improve myself, and I was going to therapy on and off, but it still was not producing anything different. I wasn't doing enough differently, so I had to do something." — Caroline 

    "But the older I've gotten, I've learned a lot through [past] relationships of really what I want and being able to communicate with somebody on a totally different level. [...] It's really refreshing, I guess you could say, to find somebody that you can really just talk to and not really be judged or anything like that." — Matt

    "I wouldn't have met Matt if I waited, because there was just a type of guy I was going for. I had this image of what I wanted him to look like, what kind of work I wanted him to do, where I wanted him to live. I had this whole image of what I thought I wanted. And after taking your course, I was like, dude…What are the five qualities I need, absolutely need, in somebody that I could not live without? And those five qualities are beyond a job title. They are beyond what city a person lives in. They're beyond somebody's height." — Caroline

    "We have values that we share together as far as being truthful and speaking our mind with each other. We're very direct with each other…sometimes one of us might have our feelings hurt for a little bit when we are direct that way, but I think it's for the best because if you don't have these tough conversations, then you're going to be at this level but never achieve something greater." — Matt 

    “The lifelong friendships and connections I've made in your program, like the quality of the other women, the quality of you, Lisa–I have a lifetime connection with all of you. I'd say that's one thing that you do…Just having such good quality people I respect and I admire and I look up to and I learn from in my corner." — Caroline

    "We talked about some of our core values that we had as far as what we want in a partner and just the communication that we were able to have just in such a short period of time…" — Matt [00:17:25 → 00:17:39]

    “She invested in herself to want something better in her life and to know exactly what she wants. And I very much respect it that she said, hey, look, this is a problem in my life…Let me figure this out. I'll do a program, and really figure it out and of what I really want." — Matt

    "So many of us have been burned by men, and when that happens, you don't just get over it. Even going to therapy and sitting and processing, it doesn't mean that when you're in the moment with a man that you really like, you're just able to push all of your hurts and all of your years of disappointment aside and suddenly open up to him. We carry those past experiences into each date." — Lisa Shield

    "You're not going to attract the kind of man you truly want unless you can make space and room in your life and heart for him." — Lisa Shield

    "You have the most beautiful hearts, and you're capable of loving in extraordinary ways, and you're longing to attract a Guardian of Your Soul. And the problem is that there's all these little blind spots that you don't even know you have." — Lisa Shield

    Key quotes:

    "Many of you pride yourself on going, doing, and keeping yourself busy every second of every day. And it's like a badge of honor for you to be incredibly busy. You don't know how to relax and stop running and rushing through life." — Lisa Shield

    “He's not looking to just fit into your life. You both will have to fit into each other's lives and make room for each other. " — Lisa Shield

    "So many of us have been burned by men, and when that happens, you don't just get over it. Even going to therapy and sitting and processing, it doesn't mean that when you're in the moment with a man that you really like, you're just able to push all of your hurts and all of your years of disappointment aside and suddenly open up to him. We carry those past experiences into each date." — Lisa Shield

    "You're not going to attract the kind of man you truly want unless you can make space and room in your life and heart for him." — Lisa Shield

    "You have the most beautiful hearts, and you're capable of loving in extraordinary ways, and you're longing to attract a Guardian of Your Soul. And the problem is that there's all these little blind spots that you don't even know you have." — Lisa Shield

    ]]>     How to Become More Receptive, and Bring Out the Best in Men! Lisa Shield- Host & Love Coach 00:50:46 In this enlightening episode of "Finding the Guardian of Your Soul," Lisa Shield takes us on a soulful journey toward deep connection and receptivity. Today's discussion is a compelling dive into the art of becoming more receptive and unlocking the best in men. In our modern world, corporate businesswomen often have high expectations and a stringent checklist for their ideal partner, driven by past relationships and preconceived notions. Lisa challenges this narrative by sharing her own powerful story of receptivity with her husband. Lisa recounts how she was able to open her heart despite initial apprehensions, building an incredible bond that defied her own standards. Her story delves into the concerns many women face: guarding their hearts, lacking patience, or fearing vulnerability – all obstacles that hinder the path to genuine connection. As a guide to women, Lisa emphasizes the pressing need to be emotionally available and thoughtful communicators. She discusses the unique emotional landscapes of men, shaped by hardships and stereotypes, and how women can approach them with a nurturing and understanding touch. Expect to uncover transformative insights on self-reflection, mature responses to unworthy partners, and the power of clear, compassionate requests. This episode is not just a conversation; it's an invitation to dismantle your barriers and be open to the wonders of dating, relationships, and the emotional expanses within.

    Key quotes:

    "My wife and I have regular checkpoints, whether it's annually or quarterly or even monthly, for us to sit down and talk about the finances." — Aaron Thomas

    "A couple can be married for 10, 15, 20 years, and then a divorce happens and all of a sudden the wife is like, ‘What do you mean he wants half of the house that I paid for for 20 years? What do you mean he wants half of my retirement when he sat on the couch when I was out there busting my rear end to earn this money?’ She didn’t realize that when she got married, the default rule is that everything the couple earned over the course of the marriage is considered marital property." — Aaron Thomas

    "Setting clear financial terms during engagement reduces marital issues, and fair prenups lead to happier marriages." — Lisa Shield

    "Without a prenup, a lot of people lose what they built up even before the marriage." — Aaron Thomas

    "Most couples find it best to have, like I said, three buckets, a joint bucket and then two separate buckets so you still have autonomy over the money in your separate funds." — Aaron Thomas

    "It's one of the biggest issues about relationships in general…people fall in love and they're under the illusion that whatever they're feeling in the initial stages is going to go on for the rest of the relationship." — Lisa Shield

    "People today...have an easier time getting physically naked than they do getting fiscally naked." — Aaron Thomas

    "What you are saying is that having a prenup isn’t just about preparing for what will happen in the case of a divorce. When you write a prenup, you're also looking at how you're going to handle your finances throughout the marriage. That's a very important distinction that you're making there." — Lisa Shield

    "And I would actually say that one of the sexiest things my husband ever did was on our fifth date, he sat down and he literally said, these are my finances. He told me. And for me, I felt so taken care of because he was being completely transparent.  It spoke volumes about who he is, who he would be as a partner, and what our future would look like together. A lot of couples are afraid to talk about those things, but for me, it was sexy." — Lisa Shield

    - Communication differences surrounding certain phrases, such as “I need time alone” and "we need to talk"

    - Clarifying the meaning of commitment with each partner

    - Asking specific questions to understand expectations and intentions

    - Regular communication and clarification to avoid misunderstandings

    - Importance of discussing expectations and desires for building a deeper connection

    - Addressing potential issues and clarifying intentions early on

    - Recognizing signs of a potential mismatch in commitment levels

    - Importance of addressing concerns and desires to avoid future hurt and disappointment

    - Men also need space for personal growth and processing, similar to women

    - Seriousness for men may involve consistency and integrating each other into daily routines, not necessarily long-term plans

    - Differences in views on moving in together

    - Importance of open communication and taking time to be sure before making such big decisions

    - Highlighting the need for communication and understanding differing perspectives in a relationship

    Key quotes:

    • "When most women tell a man they want to ‘take it slowly,’ they are saying they want to build a strong emotional foundation before having sex. They want deep meaningful conversations and to build the emotional intimacy first. For men, taking it slowly often means NOT having intimate talks that go too deep." – Lisa Shield
    • “When a woman hears the phrase 'I need some space,' it can trigger catastrophic thinking and tap into her insecurities, causing her to question the stability of the relationship. On the other hand, for some men, being in a serious relationship may simply mean integrating each other into their daily routines and getting to know each other better, without necessarily signaling long-term plans or commitments." — Lisa Shield
    • “It is good to have a conversation to clarify what you mean by certain phrases. You can say, ‘Hey, ________, I know that we said we're in a committed relationship, and I also know that being in a committed relationship, that word can have different meanings for different people. I would love to hear what it means for you.’” — Lisa Shield

    Key quotes:

    • "And I encourage people to wait until they're old enough, mature enough, to really know, to have their own identity, to know what's important to themselves, so that when they're making any choices, it is from a place of empowerment, a place of certainty, a place of confidence, a place of making a long term decision." — Dr. Larry Fan
    • "Even in an era where we are so modernized and women have so many opportunities, the emphasis on looks is awful for so many of us." — Lisa Shield
    • "What I tell people is, number one, if you have a problem that you're not happy with and it bothers you enough to be willing to get help, that's probably an appropriate time to get help, provided you understand, okay, what does the help involve and what kind of results can be expected?" — Dr. Larry Fan
    • The best results are cases where people clearly look much, much better, but they also look very natural and very appealing, where there isn't any obvious sign it doesn't look like they've had surgery. That's the highest level of surgery when people look better, but it's actually undetectable." — Dr. Larry Fan

Dr. Fan is an acclaimed, Harvard-educated plastic surgeon and the founder of 77 Plastic Surgery in San Francisco. With his never-overdone aesthetic, he has positively impacted over 10,000 lives and has been recognized as one of America's top plastic surgeons.

We'll also explore the realities of the recovery process and potential side effects, as well as the importance of setting realistic expectations. But that's not all—Dr. Fan takes us on a deeper journey, emphasizing the need to address both inner and outer beauty.

    • "And it's not just about sitting and waiting for a man to bring your femininity out, but it's also about you knowing how to draw out his masculinity. And as you do that, your femininity will start to emerge in the process." — Lisa Shield

    • Consider these questions as a loose guideline, rather than a mission to interview or interrogate the man.

    • You can also tell by the quality of the answer if he's processing or deflecting. 
    • When you share something vulnerable on your end, does he show empathy, and is he listening, or does he seem to brush off your emotions? 
    • Consider using "think" instead of "feel" when discussing emotions with men.
    • Inquire what he learned from past relationships, but respect if he doesn't want to go into full detail.  
    • Shared core values and principles are important for a successful relationship. 
    • If money wasn't a factor, what would be his dream job? Explore what he says; it can tell a lot about his values, goals, and dreams.

The gap between what women believe men are looking for in a partner and what men are actually seeking is quite significant and causes much confusion. Lisa talks about how women often project their own preferences and desires onto men such as leadership and career status, assuming that men value the same qualities as women, which is not always accurate. She goes on to discuss two of the most crucial traits that men seek in a partner, which are the qualities that genuinely lead a man to fall in love (hint: they aren’t money or success!). Lisa also addresses the necessary balance of feminine and masculine energy, and the common mistakes that women make which can cause a man to feel like his wings are being clipped. She then discusses how her program can help you learn to embrace the qualities men are really yearning for, and how to call in a guardian of your soul relationship that makes both your lives bigger and better.

At the same time, Alex had doubts about meeting an age-appropriate woman interested in starting a family. After another breakup and in the depths of despair, Natalie stumbled across one of Lisa's Facebook ads.

We believe this idealized person will be our knight in shining armor, and once we meet him, we will live happily ever after in our own version of a Disney movie.

They explain how a Guardian of Your Soul is a partner who sees all you are and helps you grow in unimaginable ways so you become more than you ever dreamed you could be.

While all these things are important, they are limiting you. This week, Lisa invites you to a new type of dating, shares her own experience in meeting Benjamin, and how that absolutely would not have happened if she hadn’t expanded her view of what love had to look like, first.

Sticky, smelly, thick and sinking. When confronted with the “we need to talk” or “I need to process this” phrase, men can feel defensive, distracted, and shut down, and if you’re thinking “but whyyyyyyy?” That’s what Lisa and Benjamin get into this week. They’ll also share how you can bring up important issues without totally freaking him out, how we can better understand men’s tendency to feel shame when they feel they aren’t providing for us, and why women fear disconnection- which in turn often creates a cycle that provides further distance.

    • Rules are somewhat arbitrary and they often come from our head, rather than our soul. 
    • Rules can be separating and repel people. They can be black and white, while a boundary is about communicating what matters to you in a way that gives someone the choice to respect it.
    • Lisa gives an example of how Benjamin asked Lisa (nicely!) if she could change her tone, and how that was an example of him setting his own boundary. 
    • Lisa and Benjamin give some real world examples of rules that almost resulted in missed connections and confusion to both the man and the woman.
    • The “rules” and all these strategies and games for dating may work to get a date, or even a ring, but they aren’t building toward a solid foundation because they aren’t based on emotional nakedness, trust, or vulnerability. 
    • Being the Guardian of someone’s Soul isn’t about following rules. It’s about seeing the path that the soul needs to go on, and supporting it in every way possible.

Here’s What To Do Next! What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

    • Ghosting happens, even to the best of us. However, it’s important to remember that you are still in control of your reactions and how you handle it. 
    • Even though getting ghosted can feel super disappointing, a lot of men disappear because they are afraid the relationship is moving too fast and they don’t want to anger or upset a woman by telling her that he doesn’t see it moving forward. 
    • Why do men sit on 3+ hour dates that seem to be wonderful, never to call again? 
    • Other people may ghost, but it’s important for you to live in your integrity and always end things kindly. 
    • When we have a conclusion, there’s understanding and maybe even an eventual forgiveness. When we ghost, you leave the other person to be confused and in the dark about what they did, and what went wrong. 
    • The same way that you may have a long list of turn offs that may make you reconsider a second date with a man, chances are that he has them too! 
    • Men may have a quick timeline for sex, but women have a quick timeline for commitment. Men often ghost when they feel like the relationship is a train speeding down the tracks, with no end or stop in sight.

What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

    • Being sexual is a state of mind, while sensuality is a state of being. 
    • How can you become more sensual just by embracing your senses? 
    • While we can turn the sexual mind on and off, our sensuality is always there. 
    • You don’t have to have a “perfect” body or looks to be sensual. 
    • Men need a woman to remind them of their own sensuality, and help them embrace it. 
    • How did Lisa learn to embrace her sensuality and learn to become emotionally naked with men? 
    • Sensual doesn’t mean exploiting yourself sexually or being overtly sexual. 
    • There's a difference between a woman selling herself and a woman and valuing herself. 
    •  Men were taught not to experience our own sensuality. They need a woman to bring that out and raise it to that level.

    • We are often disappointed when the people we are dating don’t meet our expectations, but we have to surrender to the process and realize we are not entitled to have them follow our unwritten rules.
    • Lisa sees many parallels with the 12 Step Program and the dating process.
    • What does it mean to surrender to the process?  Knowing that we can’t control every aspect or outcome, incompatibility does not equal failure, and resistance is counterintuitive.
    • Trusting the process can be scary, but there is no other way to gain wisdom and experience without going through it.
    • We can’t let the voice of insecurity or pride write our stories; our attitude and our reactions can change the entire outcome.
    • It’s important to remember the dating process is a journey.  Have you thought about why you are dating?
    • Our best version of ourselves will attract the best people; acting with authenticity and genuinely from the heart is the only approach.
    • Every single person can benefit from the perspective of a third party mentor or coach to help them grow.

    • Taking personal responsibility does NOT mean enduring any type of abuse.

    • When we look at most relationships, we don’t see the kind of love that TV and the movies have told us we deserve.

    • Working with Lisa and Benjamin can help you get out of the fantasy world and into the right steps that you need to attract the Guardian of Your Soul. 
    • Disney movies and romantic comedies show couples declaring their undying love together, but not what love looks like 15 or 20 days, or even years, down the road! 
    • Real love offers you a space to be all of yourself. You don’t have to put up walls or pretenses and both of you bring your full selves to the relationship.

What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

    • If men say they love successful and powerful women, why does it seem like they go for the exact opposite? 
    • Why would a man see a successful woman as a threat? 
    • It is true that some men are going to be intimidated by successful women, but that doesn’t mean you should go out into the dating world with a chip on your shoulder. There are plenty of men out there who are confident and successful who would love to meet a wonderful, confident, educated, successful woman. And you only need one! 
    • One of the reasons why men are not interested in successful women is not just because you're smart and successful. It's because women who focus on their careers often lose their femininity or their feminine edge.
    • The feminine lead is one of the most empowering, beautiful, magical things a woman can do. How do you take the feminine lead and make him feel confident AND excited to ask you out? 
    • It’s not always because your success intimidates men. The truth is that you may also be too masculine, in your heart and not in your heart, and he feels like he’s on a job interview rather than a date. 
    • Men are often less concerned with your job and how much money you can make, and more interested in if you have an emotional connection with each other, and if you are playful and reflecting his masculinity back to him.

    • If men say they love successful and powerful women, why does it seem like they go for the exact opposite? 
    • Why would a man see a successful woman as a threat? 
    • It is true that some men are going to be intimidated by successful women, but that doesn’t mean you should go out into the dating world with a chip on your shoulder. There are plenty of men out there who are confident and successful who would love to meet a wonderful, confident, educated, successful woman. And you only need one! 
    • One of the reasons why men are not interested in successful women is not just because you're smart and successful. It's because women who focus on their careers often lose their femininity or their feminine edge.
    • The feminine lead is one of the most empowering, beautiful, magical things a woman can do. How do you take the feminine lead and make him feel confident AND excited to ask you out? 
    • It’s not always because your success intimidates men. The truth is that you may also be too masculine, in your heart and not in your heart, and he feels like he’s on a job interview rather than a date. 
    • Men are often less concerned with your job and how much money you can make, and more interested in if you have an emotional connection with each other, and if you are playful and reflecting his masculinity back to him.

    • The truth is, your girlfriends that are getting male attention are probably signaling to the man that they are open and available for them to be approached!
    • What is romantic signaling? When one person signals to another that he or she is interested.

    • The men may say it’s different, but research says that 90% of the time, it’s the woman who sends the signal first.
