How did we get here? Many women are giving up on dating. Right now, men [some] seem to be going through massive change. It’s about time.

Like every transition, shifting a paradigm is challenging. It can be, and often is, painful. Transitions can be messy and chaotic.

One woman asks, “How did we get here?”

We got here because women have been doing their inner work for a while now, decades. Anytime one shifts, it causes a ripple on the other side.

Men feel this energy shift.

Women are invested in inner growth. As a matter of fact, it is a multi-million dollar business educating women on how to be more conscious in relationships, helping women to have boundaries and more self-love.

It also has taught them how to hold those boundaries and speak up!

I know for a fact, from my own experience, this doesn’t go well with patriarchal systems. It shakes them up!

Men are feeling it and reacting to it, triggers!

Like any shift in dynamics, one side changes and the other side has an opportunity to grow and heal, or they can dig their heels in the ground and refuse. Act out!

What you are feeling, ladies is that your growth and change are causing men to feel that change.
