Allison explores her initial assumptions about men and how they have been constantly surprised by their complexity. Tune in to discover more about Alison's fascinating exploration of who these people are.
Golden Nuggets From This Episode:
✨ "I wanted to find out what I was doing that was bringing out the worst in men."
✨ "We think of them as a hairy, dysfunctional, emotionally cut off, misbehaving woman who's in need of training and education and discipline and punishment."
✨ "If you took it for granted, it would tell me that you know who I am."
✨ "Watching television deserves to be interrupted at all times."
✨ "They're taking all their years of experience, all their successes and failures, all their assessments of who we are and what really matters to us."
✨ "Their survival depends upon being productive and their productivity depends on being trusted and respected."
✨ "If we can't give each other what we need to give and what we need to get. If we can't do that, it's never going to turn out."
