From emotional shutdown and avoidance to letting fear quietly run the relationship — this episode breaks down why so many men struggle to lead in love, intimacy, and connection without even realizing it.

Instead of blaming your partner, circumstances, or "just not being wired that way," David reveals the deeper truth:
👉 Leadership in relationships isn't about control — it's about presence, responsibility, and emotional capacity.

If you feel stuck in recurring conflict, loss of desire, emotional distance, or relationships that slowly wither over time, this episode brings clarity to the unseen patterns sabotaging intimacy — and what it actually takes to lead with strength, safety, and love.
