EP156: The Difficulties Men Experience in Life and Relationships & Chemistry vs Compatibility featuring Ailey Jolie
In this week’s podcast, I am joined by Ailey Jolie, a psychotherapist who’s work is rooted in Jungian depth psychology, relational somatics, intersectional feminism, anti-oppressive ideologies, and interpersonal neurobiology.
Ailey was born in Canada, where she grew up in the dancing, entertainment and modelling industries and later became Miss Canada. While she was in that environment, Ailey experienced a lot of sexualised violence, which led her to her personal psychotherapy and then to the work that she does today.
Ailey went to Harvard to study global mental health trauma recovery, where she met with deep thinkers who seemingly were much further along in their career. However, she noticed a deep somatic body sense of heaviness, pain and sorrow in these people who were helping the victims of horrendous trauma, and gender and sexual violence. Ailey was missing the play and the passion in this work, so she continued her search through the field of sex therapy and later really found her home in relational work. She resonated with Esther Perel’s way of thinking that the quality of relationships really resembles the quality of our life. Ailey's whole journey of relationships with others, with her body, herself, and her sexuality, is reflected in her beautiful writing.

EP155: The #1 Secret to Overcoming Self-Sabotage in Dating, Relationships & Business Featuring Ben Owen
In this week's episode, I am joined by Ben Owen, men's coach.
Ben was an elite track athlete from the age of 13 and has worked with some of the best coaches in the UK. He has been surrounded by great men and coaches who were significant people in his life.
They were great figureheads and part of how Ben created discipline and structure in a chaotic household. Around 18 years old, in university, he became a personal trainer. Slowly he began working with more and more people and developed into a business called Fast Way To Fitness, helping people transform their bodies by focusing on boot camps, nutrition and mindset. He used to sit for hours on end in the consultation room with clients and they would talk about life, work, families, sex and all sorts of stuff and rarely talked about food and the results they get.
He had an incredible arc of success, but he was not used to all that money coming in, as a person coming from a poor family. By the time he turned 30 he got married and divorced. Things just started to fall apart for him. Ben noticed for the first time that he had to check in because something was not right. He realized his incessant need to work has turned him into a workaholic and he needed to put on the breaks. He went on a mental retreat where for the first time he could really stop and meditate and engage with yoga practices. He realized there was a lot to work on himself which brought him to men's work. This led to the realization that he likes men's work and decided to get back into coaching.
