For women

Monday, March 19th, 2007

Womans_Button.gifI have been receiving a lot of wonderful feedback, emails and comments from women on this blog and at the website. They have a lot to say, ranging from discussing their own Disquiet and it’s similarities and differences to men’s, to how they really see the Disquiet in the men in their lives and want help on how to support them.

This huge and favorable response led me to designing the family support series as part of my coaching programs. This is unique support system to help my client support his family while he is undergoing significant favorable changes in the coaching. You can read more about it here.

I also am going to start posting articles specifically for the women and families supporting the men in their lives who are struggling with their Disquiet.

Please let me know topics you would like me to cover by leaving comments below or sending me an email. Thanks!

Monday, November 27th, 2006

I have been writing a bit about the male mid-life crisis (MLC) and how it’s seen as a joke in the media and in our culture. Underneath the joke is a pretty significant life event. In an article I wrote at LifeTwo.com, I said:

Jokes aside, the MLC is a hugely spiritual happening. Maybe the word “crisis” is the problem. It evokes the feeling of an emergency that was unplanned. Like a hurricane that comes out of no where and destroys the town.

What are the 5 things a woman desires in a man?

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

Here is an interesting article I read on Nicolette Beard’s man-o-pause Blog (BTW, she has a great blog, check it out). In her article, she describes a new book that may be helpful:

My friend, Eliot Katz, author of Being a Strong Man a Woman Wants, wrote me to say that he’s now marketing his book to…Women! After several months in print, he realized that his main buyers are women, who give it to men with the comment, “This is what I’ve been trying to tell you all this time.”

So what exactly are women trying to tell men?
