Bonus Episode Alert! Welcome to the first episode in our special five-episode series, where we’re re-running some of our most impactful + memorable episodes. These conversations changed us but also deeply touched you, our community—and in many ways, put our show on the map. We’re starting off with legendary relationship coach, John Wineland. His teachings helped launch Almost 30 into the stratosphere, transforming the way we think about the masculine + feminine in relationships. Conversations with John feel like a spiritual reset for your love life, so buckle up! John takes us inside his transformative work with men, breaking down outdated patriarchal paradigms + showing us how to create soul-nourishing love. Plus, he reveals what your taboo sex kink really says about you—and why leaning in, instead of hiding in shame, can transform intimacy. We also talk about: The energetic impact of intimacy + why boundaries matter How to co-regulate your nervous system within partnerships The masculine as "container" + the feminine as "ocean" The crisis of masculine identity + forging a new paradigm Ways women's pursuit of success can lead to burnout How playing with desire + taboo can unlock hidden nutrients for your soul The art of setting boundaries with an open heart How women can cultivate their own grounded masculine energy Modern relationship tips for authenticity, polarity, and true self-expression Resources: Website: https://johnwineland.com/ Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.
