Very special episode with a special guest, a two-parter, Mike Watts. You may know him as married to Kate Northrup and co-founder of Kate Northrup (they created Relaxed Money). We're talking on the topic of "conscious men," and what do we mean by that? You'll have to listen! This is a PERFECT episode to invite the men in your life.

Two firsts: first time a man was a guest and the first time he's younger than 50.

Diane thinks he's a conscious man. The definition from Diane is the kind of guy uplifting other people in the room, men AND women, not a perfect guy but always learning and trying to be a better man. Mike agrees that he would consider himself one. He doesn't know how to find them, but here's his background. He's always been around large numbers of women. Kate wasn't a pushover.

We're both Virgos and we both have Scorpios rising. He realized he's not right all the time.

What's the purpose of life? He'd like to be a better person when he dies and have fun doing it. So he's put himself in uncomfortable situations.

Letting kids have their own opinions, he's always interested in his kids. The kids can state their opinions and he listens.

He thought therapy was about trauma only, but now goes when needed. Enjoys men's events. He especially enjoys Sacred Sons, not religious or militaristic and contains diversity. "Men can't heal with women, they need men. Women can heal through conscious men but not the other way around."

One part of the success of their 10 year marriage: they really like each other.

Prefers the term "conflict" instead of "fighting" or "arguing." They have shared interests like company, the kids, movies, traveling. Also enjoy solo time.

When he's 50, he likes what he does now. He's looking forward to hanging around for breakfast, coffee, dominoes and pickle ball.

Suggestions for men who want to be more conscious: have real conversations, what are their desires for the future? Getting to know that person. You may want to check out, but stay with it. Don't get stuck in the how. The feeling of "how do I fix this now?" is where the Super Power is.

It's called the Panty Dropper.

What a cliffhanger!

See you next week.

Hellooooo, everyone. I'm back with THE MOST FASCINATING EPISODE.

I'm with Joan Wiseman, who is a coach for women with married men. Suspend judgment for this episode for a bit, and you'll find a very interesting conversation indeed.

:25 Let your guy listen to this one if you have one.

:60 Introduction to Joan Wiseman.

1:39 How did you get into this business? She sought help from a life coach. Wanted to help others. She had an affair with a married man. She had no support.

3:40 It's an original niche. Speaking about compassion. The other woman always gets the blame. The man is "boys will be boys."

4:38 Baffles me about women who never blame their husbands, going after the other woman. Why aren't you mad at your husband?

5:34 The reason is the wife doesn't want to lose what she has.

6:25 How do you help them? Explanation of how the brain works in this situation. Helping them understand power of decision, and work with their thinking and brains.

9:21 Where does someone find you on TikTok? @thejoanwiseman or The Wise Coach.

9:30 What are the "hardest nuts to crack" here?

12:30 Where do people find you? What would you say to "the other women" if you catch her before she becomes that?

14:00 Quickfire questions.

You can find Joan Wiseman at DiscreetCoaching.com.
