In this episode, Preston will discuss defensiveness and how it destroys relationships.

When we become defensive, we put up walls that prevent us from truly hearing and understanding the other person's perspective. It can cause a breakdown in communication and trust, which can be detrimental to the relationship. One way to prevent this is to connect before you correct someone. Make sure you have all the facts straight. It's essential to approach a situation with an open mind and gather as much information as possible before making any assumptions or accusations. It takes a certain level of emotional intelligence to recognize that sometimes, being right isn't the most important thing. It can be detrimental to relationships and personal growth. Instead, a mature individual understands the value of empathy and compassion. Don't miss until the end and remember that communication is KEY in any relationship or interaction!

In this episode, Preston and Alexi will discuss the subtle ways trauma has been sabotaging your life. First, trauma has a profound impact on our lives, often in subtle ways that we may not even be aware of. It can manifest as anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues that affect our relationships, work, and overall well-being. Trauma can also lead to self-sabotage, where we engage in behaviors that undermine our success and happiness. It might include procrastination, self-doubt, or a fear of taking risks. These patterns can be difficult to break without professional help. Secondly, it's important to remember that healing from trauma is a process that takes time and patience.

In this episode, Preston and Alexi will discuss the deep truth of the world of masculine and feminine polarity. This truth reveals the societal constructs and expectations placed upon individuals based on their gender, which can limit personal expression and perpetuate harmful stereotypes. It is important to recognize and challenge these constructs to create a more equitable and inclusive society.

However, this concept has also been used to justify gender inequality and discrimination. Everyone has an individual truth. It means that each person's perspective and experiences shape their understanding of the world, and what may be true for one person may not be true for another. It is important to respect and acknowledge these differences to foster understanding and empathy. Listen to the whole podcast to unleash your inner truth about masculinity and femininity!

In this episode, Preston and Alexi will give you an in-depth explanation of things from a Female and Male perspective, most especially in a relationship.

It's hard for anyone to deal with these kinds of things, but it can really help if you talk about them with each other so they don't spiral out of control. It's important to remember that being in a relationship is about more than just being together—it's about supporting each other and making sure the other person knows how much they mean to you.

In this episode, Preston will talk about the 3 Reasons Men BREAK Up with Women. Men feel some women don't appreciate them as much as they should, so they feel like they don't deserve a partner who will make them happy. They want to be respected, admired and validated by their partners, which means making sure that both parties are on the same page with all their goals in life. Men break up with their partners because they feel that the relationship has become a burden, and a display of emotional intelligence can improve their own relationship's success.

[03:20] Some women apologize but there are some who don't

In this episode, Preston will enumerate the 5 mindsets on how to become a multi-millionaire. The idea of becoming a millionaire is one that is often touted as the ultimate goal in life. It's an aspiration that people have, but it's also something that can be hard to achieve. Becoming a millionaire isn't all that is cracked up to be, though. There are some who have it and some who don't, and there are some who do things right and others who don't. It matters more what you are keeping in lifestyle, the type of life you living than the amount that you are making. It doesn't matter how many millions or billions of dollars someone has, it's what they do with those millions or billions that make them who they are. You can be broke and still have a great life if you know how to live within your means and enjoy life!

[01:08] Millions make you something!

 In this episode, Preston will talk about lying and withholding your truth. We know that you are trying to be as honest as possible in your relationships. You don't want to hide anything from your partner, and you especially don't want to hide things from yourself. The problem is there are times when it can feel like the only way to keep a person around is to lie about who you are. But that's not a good choice for anyone. They'll probably leave anyway because they won't be able to deal with all of your baggage. So why not just stop lying? It's not hard at all! Just tell the truth! It's pretty easy once you get started. Listen to this episode to know more about women lying and withholding their truth.

 In this episode, Preston will discuss the three toxic myths of scarcity and how they invaded your consciousness. Scarcity is the idea that there is not enough of something to go around. But this scarcity is a lie. We live in a world with infinite abundance, but we have been taught how to perceive things differently. If we can learn how to see things as they are, then we can move past these kinds of beliefs and into a place where we truly thrive. Listen to this episode to know more about these toxic myths.
