The wrong man will admire your independence, not because he respects it—but because it relieves him of responsibility. He’ll watch you carry the weight of everything—your career, your healing, your peace, your pain—and silently expect you to keep going, because “you’ve got it.” He’ll mistake your resilience for invincibility, and slowly, without even realizing it, you’ll start doing life alone while standing next to someone who’s just present, but not truly partnered.

The right man, though?
He knows you can do it all—but he won’t let you.
Not because he doubts your strength, but because he honors it.
Because a true man doesn’t sit back and watch you burn out—he steps in. He builds with you, side by side.
He knows leadership isn’t about control—it’s about covering her, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically.

A real man sets the tone of safety and structure in the relationship.
He creates an atmosphere where her nervous system can finally exhale.
Where she doesn’t have to fight to be heard, to be supported, or to feel secure.
He’s consistent—not just when it’s convenient, but especially when it’s hard.
Because consistency is how she knows she can relax into her feminine.
And safety is how love truly flourishes.

In a divine partnership, strength is not found in how much you can do alone, but in how much you can build together. It’s not about being needed—it’s about being present. A woman in her power still deserves to be protected, supported, and poured into.

She shouldn’t have to ask you to show up.
She shouldn’t feel like she’s “too much” for needing masculine leadership.
She should feel safe—because the man beside her leads with love, not ego.

Now more than ever we need good examples of calm, confident and assertive men who prioritize compassion, courage, safety and connection to bring balance to this chaotic world.

We need men and fathers with honor and integrity who can lead and be role models to their children so that their children grow up to be loving, strong and courageous.

The only way to change a cruel world is to teach it that love is more powerful and kindness must be what prevails.

Happy Father's day to all of the men who lean into their feelings and consistently show up because they believe that it's always the right thing to do!

Be proud of the way that you get hit and still get back up and try again! Be proud of the man you've become, especially when you had no one to teach you what it means to be a man! Be proud of how you never let pain stop you from doing what is right and what is most loving! Be proud that you wake up everyday and fight the monsters so your children can feel safe and secure!

Don't ever let anyone make you feel small, don't ever talk down to yourself, stand up and believe in your heart that you are more powerful than anything that you've been afraid of so you can be the example that your children, and the world, needs!

TO THE MEN WILLING TO RISE

There comes a moment in a man's life when he encounters not just a woman, but an awakened woman—a soul who remembers who she is.

She is not here to stroke your ego, entertain your insecurities, or play the role of a wounded healer in your unhealed story.

She is a mirror of the sacred—and if you still cling to outdated notions of masculinity based on dominance, pride, and achievement, you won't even recognize her light.

She doesn't shout, argue, or seek validation through chaos.

She has mastered the art of silence and surrender—not as weakness, but as power.

She doesn't punish with anger.
She rebuffs with truth.
She doesn't settle—she sees.
And if she sees that you are not a deep man, a man with soul, she won't linger.

Because an awakened woman doesn't seek attention. She waits for alignment.

She is a warrior of the heart, forged by fire and refined by pain. Her love is a sacred flame—it isn't given to a man who still plays games. She waits for a man who has experienced his own darkness and emerged honest, humble, and unscathed. A man whose masculinity isn't based on control, but on awareness.

She isn't impressed by how much you earn or how many women you've had. She listens to the language of truth. She watches how you deal with your own shadow. She isn't moved by bravado—she is moved by the quiet strength of a man who has fought his demons and not run away.

Only when a man has torn down the walls around his heart and dared to bare his soul can he face her as an equal. Only then does she open the gates to her inner garden—that sacred place where love flows freely, not because you asked for it, but because you've proven yourself worthy to receive it.

A true man isn't afraid of its depth. He doesn't recoil in the face of its ferocity or wisdom. He respects its temple and knows that her body isn't a conquest—it's a covenant.

The awakened woman walks with grace because she remembers. She knows the power she carries within. She knows that the depth of her feelings isn't a burden, but a blessing. And she knows that her heart isn't a playground for wounded boys who still pretend to be men.

She doesn't want to be saved. She wants to meet someone—soul to soul, truth to truth, flame to flame.

So if you're a man who's still afraid of vulnerability, who hides behind sarcasm or control, who sees women as objects of desire rather than reflections of the Divine, understand this: She won't try to change you. She will leave. Because her time is sacred.

But if you're a man who does the work—the real work—of healing, of accepting his wounds and becoming whole again, then she will see you. And when she does, she will give you a love so deep, so pure, so transformative, that it will feel like returning to a place you never knew you left.

Love is patient. Lust is hasty.
Love gives. Lust takes.
Love builds. Lust burns out.
Love is sacred. Lust is selfish.

And in the end, love is the only thing that endures.

Men—rise up. Work on yourselves. Sharpen your minds. Refine your heart. For the awakened woman is not a fantasy. She exists. And she is waiting for the man who remembers who he truly is.
