Valentine’s Day is just a few days away, and I know how easy it is to get caught up in the hustle and forget to make time for something truly meaningful.

The transformative power of sharing those words with your partner. Take a few moments to listen and try the exercise.

16:48

In this 16 minute gem with FRD Live facilitator Dr. Robert Glover, best selling author of No More Mr. Nice Guy, we go into how embodying your fullest self naturally attracts the feminine energy in your life and what it takes to be the guy at the concert enjoying the show. Here’s a taste of what you’ll learn: Why the feminine is deeply drawn to a man who’s confident, knows where he’s going, and enjoys the journey. Simple practices to get grounded and shed the self-doubt and shame that hold you back. How to stop overthinking and truly enjoy the moment (even when life gets chaotic). Techniques like “being where your feet are” to stay present, centered, and fully engaged. The surprising link between spending time with other men and attracting the feminine. Dr. Robert Glover will be facilitating at FRDL so if you get a lot out of this episode and are ready to dive into investing in your well-being, join us at FRD Live in Austin, Texas, December 4th-6th.
