72: Balancing the King and Queen Within: Ryan Moresby White on Mastering Masculine and Feminine Energies
Hey, Dirty Dogs! 🐾 We’ve got a special one for you today! In this episode, we had the absolute pleasure of catching up with our dear friend Ryan Moresby White, who’s not only a successful entrepreneur but also a beacon of transformation for men worldwide. Ryan’s journey is nothing short of inspiring—he went from a successful yet unfulfilled life in the construction industry to founding The Inspired Man Project, a global initiative dedicated to helping men reconnect with their true selves and live purposeful, inspired lives. Ryan shared his personal journey of overcoming deep emotional wounds, healing his inner child, and how these experiences led him to embrace both masculine and feminine energies. His mission? To empower men to become true leaders in their lives and, in turn, create a world where relationships thrive and the feminine can flourish. We also dove into the intricacies of masculine and feminine energy, discussing how they manifest in our lives, businesses, and relationships. Ryan’s explanations of the archetypes and how to balance these energies were eye-opening and incredibly valuable for anyone looking to deepen their self-awareness and improve their personal and professional relationships. Key Takeaways: Balancing Masculine and Feminine Energies: Understanding and integrating both energies within ourselves is crucial for personal growth and harmonious relationships. Healing the Inner Child: Addressing and healing childhood wounds can lead to profound transformations in how we show up in the world. Authentic Leadership: True leadership, especially for men, comes from committing to a purpose with heart and integrity. Empowerment Through Awareness: Recognizing how our wounds impact our behaviors allows us to make conscious choices and foster healthier connections.

71: No More Settling: Our Top Non-Negotiables for a Thriving Relationship
Hey, Dirty Dogs! It’s Jess and Meg here, your favorite sister duo, back with another juicy episode of Talk Tovey To Me. This week, we’re diving deep into the nitty-gritty of relationships—the non-negotiables that keep our partnerships strong, happy, and drama-free. We kick off with our usual weekly catch-up (you know the drill, grab a cup of whatever you’re sipping on and settle in), where Jess shares the exciting details of a recent collaboration with a local entrepreneur that has us buzzing. Meg, on the other hand, is still reeling from a wild week of successes, new clients, and a surprising emotional rollercoaster. And yes, there were tears—but the good kind! Plus, Meg drops a little bomb about her latest investment property! Then, we roll up our sleeves and get into the heart of this week’s topic: the non-negotiables that every strong relationship needs. We’re talking about the big C—communication—why it’s the foundation of everything, and how having those hard conversations early can actually save you from a world of hurt later on. We also chat about respect, prioritizing your partner’s happiness, and the importance of making an effort (because, duh, relationships take work!). You’ll hear us break down why we think it’s crucial to understand your partner’s love language, the magic of regular quality time (no phones allowed!), and why it’s so important to have shared goals as a couple. And of course, we couldn’t wrap up without touching on trust—because, let’s be real, without trust, what do you even have? We even throw in a fun little exercise for you guys to try at home: jot down your own list of relationship non-negotiables and “nice-to-haves.” It’s a game-changer for keeping your relationships aligned and thriving. Oh, and we didn’t forget to sprinkle in some of our usual banter—Jess even shares a hilarious (and a little horrifying) experience at a restaurant that was so bad, they actually left feedback. Trust us, it’s a ride. So, if you’re in a relationship, thinking about getting into one, or just love a good deep dive into the psychology of love, this episode is for you.
