  • Powerful, practical and deeply respectful of men

    Melanie’s interviews or absolute gold – grounded, clear, and incredibly validating for the good men I work with who want real love and feel stuck. Whether you’re dating, healing, or just trying to understand yourself better as a man, this show delivers!

    As a dating coach, for midlife men, dear men is one of the few podcasts I trust enough to recommend to my clients. Melanie’s conversations are insightful, compassionate, and rooted and emotional intelligence.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

420: 'I know what I need to do ... I just don't do it.' (ft. Jason Lange)
Q: Can you explain how the pattern 'I know what I need to do, I just don't do it' shows up in life and with clients?
The line marks the gap between awareness and embodiment. Real change happens when awareness translates into embodied action through group support, state training, and repeated practice, rather than relying on talk therapy alone.
422: Want MORE from your love life? 3 ways to grow past Nice Guy Syndrome (ft. Jason Lange)
Q: What happens when a man learns to claim his 'no' and set boundaries?
He builds trust with partners because his boundaries are clear and his self-care is visible. This reduces resentment and covert contracts, increases safety, and enhances attraction as the partner experiences a grounded, reliable energy rather than people-pleasing behavior.
422: Want MORE from your love life? 3 ways to grow past Nice Guy Syndrome (ft. Jason Lange)
Q: Can you walk us through what it looks like when a man doesn't have conscious brotherhood?
Without community, he becomes lonely and isolated, often defaulting to superficial online interactions and lacking the depth of real friendships that validate and support vulnerability. This lack of connection makes him susceptible to patterns that don't serve him in dating or long-term relationships.
409: Have you ever felt adrift as a man? (ft. Scott Kaltenbaugh and Djeli Celestia)
Q: What was the forest rite with the host's son about?
An intimate, two-person rite offering grounding, reconnection with old friends, and tools to manage anxiety as he steps into young adulthood.
409: Have you ever felt adrift as a man? (ft. Scott Kaltenbaugh and Djeli Celestia)
Q: How can rites of passage help with this adrift feeling?
They provide intentional transition points, accountability through elders, and practical rituals that frame responsibility, grounding, and meaning.
