The other is through the willingness to surrender to the feminine. Join archetypal psychotherapist Gillian Pothier as she explains why men need to stop asking what it means to be a man.   Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!

Our episode is on the concept of deliberately breaking contracts. Inspired by two of my clients who are in a deep, intimate friendship and relationship and business partnership and how they did the work in a coaching session to let go of the past and the process I took them through, and how it has enriched their process and their relationship and who they are in the world today. I also talked about my own personal breaking of contracts with myself really in my relationship to Morgan about open relationships and a really big insight I had on a recent journey. We then invite Toni and she shares with us her life, what’s going on, her pain and how she’s, on some level, given up but she still longs for a partner, that person to spend the rest of her life. We go through all the things she’s done and she’s done a lot of things. I give her one more shot, one more concept from me. It might work, it might not, but I’m so grateful she came on the show.   Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! Here

Welcome back to Tuff Love with Rob Kandell. The concept of the show today is man’s mission versus self-care, and the strange balance that exists between the two. Many people, Rob included, have a challenge finding that balance. Morgan asked Rob why the show is called ‘a man’s mission versus self-care’ instead of ‘a man’s mission and self-care’, but it’s because to Rob, the two feel contrary to each other. It’s like the motherhood versus self-care conversation, and how most of us don’t know how to do both sides of the equation well.   Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!

Once upon a time, Jean opened an in-flight magazine and saw a bunch of people chilling out and cuddling.

Welcome back to Tuff Love with Rob Kandell. This show is in response to the #metoo meme that has had people all over the world talking about the pervasive issue of sexual assault and harassment. Rob believes the truth is the most important impact we can have in this world, and if we’re not willing to speak up then that impact can remain hidden. You never know who you can help just by telling your truth. The #metoo meme has seen hundreds of thousands of people tell the truth about their experiences. It would be naïve to say it happens only to women, though predominantly it happens exceptionally more to women than men.   Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!

In our heads, there are reasons that we tell ourselves we are the best at what we do but that can go the other way too. Trying to prove to others that you are good enough will leave you disconnected from yourself and your heart. Former model and now life coach Brandliyn Tebo helps her clients escape the Achievement Trap having been caught in it herself when she was young and taught wrongly that supreme thinness equals changing the world. Brandliyn shares her struggles as a student, model and achiever who learned that she doesn’t need to prove herself to make a difference in the world.   Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!

Welcome back to Tuff Love with Rob Kandell. This week’s show is called Taking The Tougher Road. When looking at your life, your experience, your relationship, your job, there are an infinite amount of roads possible and on some level you know this. Which road do you want to take, the easy or the tough? Rob tends to take the tougher road and there are pros and cons to this. It’s built his character, it’s gotten him in a lot of situations where he feels he could have done better, but the whole process of taking the tougher road has increased his capacity for service, expansion and life. Rob recently completed 60 yoga classes in 80 days. It was hard. He was totally exhausted. There were days he was completely sick of the hot air and locker room process. He was relieved when the 80 days was over, but he knew he truly did it. There was total and absolute glee knowing he had the capacity and didn’t take the easy road. Rob has three clear examples of this choice showing up in life lately.   Love the show?

Welcome to another episode of Tuff Love with Rob Kandell. The topic of today’s show is the concept of masculine and feminine dynamics. Rob has been working with a team recently to help the people within that team with some very disparate personalities and views from separation and opposite sides of the playing field to come together, be more connected and find union.

There are 61 social media apps present today and leading them are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and a handful others. Social media and the addiction to it actually started with Friendster and MySpace back in 2004, but it was Facebook that really put the social in social media. Are you one of the many who check their phones in the morning not for the email but for the likes you get from last night’s post? If you are, then that’s perfectly normal because that’s the culture that we live in today. But the thing is, as we feel connected, we also look disconnected. We go to restaurants and take pictures of the food first before we eat just so we can let everyone know we are eating something fancy. Learn how we should be conscious of the experiences around us while still being able to connect to the rest of the world.   Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!
