Hi, I'm Courtney, a relationship coach who works primarily with men who have their lives together but feel stuck when it comes to dating and relationships.

Over nearly six years, I've noticed a pattern: the men who come to me are often thoughtful, successful guys who genuinely care about creating meaningful connections. But somewhere along the way, they learned to tone themselves down - their opinions, their intensity, their natural way of being - thinking it would make relationships easier.

The thing is, it usually backfires. When you're constantly managing how you show up, people can sense it. And the kind of woman who would actually appreciate who you are never gets to see it.

I co-host For the Love of Men Podcast where we talk about what actually creates attraction and lasting connection - not the surface stuff you read about, but the deeper dynamics that make relationships work.

What I've learned from working with both men and women is that most relationship problems aren't about lacking skills. They're about not knowing how to be yourself in a way that actually serves the relationship. That's what I help men figure out.
