Why You Keep Repeating the Same Relationship Patterns | Masculine, Feminine & Polarity with Chris Marhefka
Notas do episódio
Why do the same relationship dynamics keep showing up in your life?
In this episode, Heather and Kent McKean sit down with master coach and Thirteen Pines co-founder Chris Marhefka to explore the deeper forces behind attraction, polarity, masculine and feminine energy, and the subconscious patterns that shape how we relate to others.
Together they discuss the difference between conditioning and authentic essence, healthy and unhealthy expressions of masculine and feminine energy, nervous system regulation, emotional healing, men's work, and why awareness alone rarely creates lasting transformation.
This conversation offers a compassionate and practical look at the unconscious programs that influence relationships, health, identity, and personal growth, while pointing toward a path of greater wholeness, responsibility, and healing.
