Manlihood

In this powerful conversation, Josh sits down with Jeanell Greene, Certified Life & Relationship Coach and the “Man Whisperer” herself. Jeanell works with couples all over the world to rebuild trust, restore connection, and understand each other on a deeper level.

In this episode, Jeanell breaks down WHY so many men feel misunderstood, unheard, and emotionally shut down in their relationships — and what women are really trying to communicate.

She also dives into:

• Why women think men “aren’t listening”

• The emotional wiring differences between men and women

• How men can communicate better without feeling weak or exposed

• Why vulnerability is actually a man’s superpower, not a liability

• What creates safety, trust, and intimacy in a marriage

• Why couples get stuck in cycles of hurt — and how to break them

• How to rebuild trust quickly (even after major betrayal)

Whether you're dating, married, or trying to heal a struggling relationship… this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and practical tools to lead with strength without losing your heart.

🧠 Key Takeaways

• Vulnerability creates connection, not weakness.

• Women aren’t asking men to be mind readers—but they often assume men “should know.”

• Most conflict comes from different wiring, childhood conditioning, and misunderstandings, not lack of love.

• Tone matters more than words when communicating.

• Safety + empathy = trust restored.

• Praise your spouse often — appreciation is fuel for intimacy.

• Healthy marriage habits start with self-awareness and emotional honesty.
