  • Radical Self-Love When Things Get Hard with Allana Pratt

    Radical Self-Love When Things Get Hard with Allana Pratt

When you're in the middle of a custody battle that drags on for 13 years? When your son goes no-contact for six and a half years and you don't know where he lives? When every relationship you try to build seems to surface the same wound in a new disguise?In this episode of The Sacred We, Mike and Courtney sit down with Allana Pratt -- Ivy League-educated intimacy expert, author of The One Is Bullshit, Becoming the One Is Brilliant and Beautiful, and host of the Intimate Conversations podcast. Allana has spent over 20 years helping people dissolve shame and return to themselves. And in this conversation, she doesn't just teach it -- she lives it out loud.She shares the whole unfiltered story: the two divorces, the 13-year custody battle, the night she called her son's father a name so awful her coach reflected it right back on her -- and how that moment cracked the victim story open. The six-plus years of silence from her son. The 90-second birthday call that broke the dam. The lunch in New York where everything unraveled -- and then the moment she took full ownership for her pain and watched the veil around her son crack.And through all of it: the fierce, devotional, imperfect, never-give-up practice of loving yourself.About Allana PrattAllana Pratt is an intimacy expert, global coach, and author with over 20 years of experience helping people dissolve shame and move into radical self-love. She has been featured on CBS, TLC, Fox, and over 850 podcasts.

  • How to Love Your Partner in Their Shadows While Setting Boundaries

    How to Love Your Partner in Their Shadows While Setting Boundaries
    Jul 3 2026
    Join our new Masterclass offering for individuals and couples wanting to reopen their hearts after conflict. 👉Sign up HERE: https://www.thesacredwe.com/rupture-and-repairIn this episode of The Sacred We, Mike and Courtney go into some of the most honest, vulnerable territory they've shared yet. Mike's shadow: the numbness and freeze that comes from losing two primary attachments before his first birthday -- and how his body stopped showing signs of wanting connection even when he desperately craves it. Courtney's shadow: a fierce, protective fight response to masculine energy, forged through a childhood where she had to battle hard to protect herself.And then they get into the real work: what it looks like to actually love a partner in their shadow -- not fix it, not flee from it, not enable it -- but be in a real, boundaried, tender relationship with it. Together.What "relating with your partner's shadow" actually means -- and why "they just need to do their own work" misses the whole point of intimacyMike's shadow -- the freeze and disconnect pattern -- what it looks like from the outside (blank face, no visual cues) and what's actually happening inside (deep longing for connection)Courtney's shadow -- the fear of the masculine -- the fierce protector that had to fight hard to survive, and what it means to come into relationship with a man who embodies powerLove without enabling -- why letting the shadow drive the bus destroys the relationship, and how to hold both love AND boundary at the same timeThe mirror and reflect practice -- how Courtney names what she sees ("you feel far away") to help Mike access what his own body can't show himMaking requests instead of managing -- how to invite your partner out of the shadow by asking for what you actually need, rather than pushing against what they're not givingHow your partner's shadow is your teacher -- why the places they trigger you most are the exact places you get to love yourself betterThe gift of staying -- what becomes possible after years of learning each other's shadows that no shorter, easier relationship could give youGo Deeper With Mike & Courtney:The Initiated Man -- Mike's men's community for men who are ready to understand and move through their own shadows -- in the company of other men who get it. itsmikeelliott.com/TIMWork With Mike & Courtney -- Private couples work and individual offerings for those ready to go all the way in. https://www.thesacredwe.com/2-2-container-details👉Sign up for our couples list HERE: https://www.thesacredwe.com/thesacredwe💛 Work with Mike & Courtney 2:2 →https://www.thesacredwe.com/2-2-container-detailsWork with Mike → ⁠https://www.itsmikeelliott.com/coaching⁠Work with Courtney → ⁠https://www.courtneywren.com/rebirth⁠📺Subscribe to our YouTube Channel → ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@thetogetherpodcast⁠🏹Join the Initiated Man →https://www.itsmikeelliott.com/TIMDonation link 👇🙏🏼❤️🌏⁠⁠https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=VWHABJWZ749X4⁠⁠Email:⁠⁠transform@itsmikeelliott.com⁠⁠⁠relating@courtneywren.com⁠Website:⁠⁠⁠www.itsmikeelliott.com⁠⁠⁠https://www.thesacredwe.com/thesacredwe⁠www.courtneywren.com⁠Instagram:@MikeElliott.Relating@courtneywren.relating

  • Your Relationship Is Your Child's First Love Story - How Your Relationship Affects Your Children

    Your Relationship Is Your Child's First Love Story - How Your Relationship Affects Your Children
    Jun 25 2026
    Want to turn moments of conflict into opportunities for intimacy? 👉Sign up for our couples list HERE: https://www.thesacredwe.com/thesacredweYour children are not just watching you. They are becoming you.This is not a conversation about perfect parenting. It's a conversation about the invisible field that lives between you and your partner -- and how that field is shaping your children's nervous systems, their sense of safety, their capacity for love, and the relationships they will one day choose.If you are a parent -- or want to be one -- this episode will change how you see your relationship forever.3 Key Points Covered:Your relationship becomes your child's nervous system -- The coherence (or incoherence) between you and your partner becomes the nest within which your child develops. Their sense of safety, their regulation, their capacity to stay connected through difficulty -- all of it is shaped by the relational field you hold together.Your wounds become their blueprint -- Mike shares his own story of being adopted twice in the first 14 months of his life and the abandonment wounding that followed him -- and how, without awareness, that blueprint was handed directly to Cedar. The patterns we haven't healed become the patterns our children inherit.How you treat your partner is how your child will treat themselves and their future partners -- From Cedar saying "I'm so stupid" after hearing it used around him, to mirroring a parent's shutdown behaviour during conflict, our children are always watching. What we model becomes their normal.You'll Also Hear:The story of Cedar's injuries -- including the ambulance call -- and what Mike and Courtney realized about the direct link to their disconnectionMike's personal history with adoption, abandonment wounding, and how he unknowingly handed his blueprint to his sonWhat toxic fighting wires children to believe about love and connection -- and why they may grow up feeling that intimacy is dangerousHow to navigate co-parenting with honor and respect even when things aren't amicable -- and why talking badly about your partner in front of your child fragments them internallyThe constellation practice of gratitude that Courtney has been bringing to their relationship: "Thank you for making me a mama"The most powerful closing line of the episode: "How you tend the shared nervous system of your family is the love story your children will live"Go Deeper With Mike & Courtney:The Initiated Man -- Mike's online men's community for men who are ready to break the patterns they've inherited and become the embodied, connected fathers and partners they know they can be.🏹Join the Initiated Man →https://www.itsmikeelliott.com/TIMCouples Work with Mike & Courtney -- Private 2:2 intensive containers for couples who are ready to rewrite the blueprint -- for themselves, and for the next generation.💛 Work with Mike & Courtney 2:2 →https://www.thesacredwe.com/2-2-container-detailsWork with Mike → ⁠https://www.itsmikeelliott.com/coaching⁠Work with Courtney → ⁠https://www.courtneywren.com/rebirth⁠If something's pulling you toward this work, let's talk.
