  • The Importance Of Critical Feedback From The Opposite Sex
    Dec 4 2024
    Over the past few weeks, I spoke to more than 30 women who identified as successful in work,(Bossbabes, if you will) who "didn’t need a man” to take care of them.Even though they considered themselves independent,many of them tearfully shared with mesome of the struggles they were facing in their relationships.What I discovered was a “eureka” moment for them.It was almost as if they were all dating (or married to) the SAME DUDE.Through our conversation, they were able to discover their blind spots that were pushing healthymasculine leadership energy away,and unknowingly attracting men (and behavior in their men)who wouldn’t commit, wouldn’t plan, and wouldn’t leadinto devotion.Quite the opposite.Many of these men were actually more like children,feeding off their energy, extracting from these womenmuch like having another child in the house.Of course they were living in a constant state of resentmentabout life in general, they all had a few things in common.Take a wild guess what it could be.You’ve heard the term “blind spots” in driving on the road.We also have Blind Spots in our psyche.They are parts of ourselves that we can’t see,like trying to read the label of a jar from the inside.Blind Spots are unconscious parts of ourselvesthat cause us to unknowingly create our own suffering.Parts of us that are too painful to admit are there, but they are.And unless we have the courage to face them and get them exposed,we are doomed to repeat the same cycle again and again, like groundhog Day.You know exactly what I’m talking about:Same arguments every time, like a broken record.One woman was married and divorced 7 times and tried all the therapies without finding the root of it,but through our interaction— was able to see what she hadn’t been able to in all the years:Her part in the dynamic that was causing relationships to break down,without fault or blame.Another woman who was married and divorced 4 times,now in a relationship with an avoidant who doesn’t make her a priority,also couldn’t see her blind spot despite all the books and therapies:She was so preoccupied with him and diagnosing him that she didn’tacknowledge what she needed to change within HERSELF to inspire him to commit.It pains me to hear their stories because most therapies they try are about validating their side of the story,rather than committing to actual healing— which involves learning SKILLS instead of venting stories.No one had the courage to tell these women the truth of their blind spots, because it would have bruised their ego.One of the women was an actual counsellor and therapist and was stunned to hear my feedbackon her blind spots. She received it gracefully and gratefully, admitting that she wouldn’t beallowed to be so direct with her clients— that it would run the risk of her getting a complaint to the board.The only problem with that is that having your blind spot revealed is CRITICALif you want to change your relationship pattern.Tell me if you notice what I call the “Bossbabe Conundrum”:If you want to drop being in charge of the relationship, it’s not just about HIM.Something within YOU needs to change, and your ego won’t like it.Otherwise, you can leave that partner but the next person you date—same person, different haircut.So in service to all boss babes who want out of the conundrum,I invite you to watch or listen to this one hour podcast.Listen now, or save it for later— I start first with the back story ofwhy a man like me would want to speak to Bossbabes who are brave enoughto taste the bitter medicine of the truth in order to attract men who are mature,devotional, protectors, providers. If you’re a person who gets offended with the notion that a man hassome potent information for powerful women who want to learn how toreign it in so they don’t scare off quality men— then this podcast won’t be for you.But if you want to see if you can identify with some blind spots so that youcan stop pushing high-value secure love away, then this podcast episode is for you.After you listen, send it to someone who you know is struggling in their relationship,and see if they relate too.If you stay to the end, you’ll see some traits that some quality men (when asked) sharedabout what they consider irresistible for being wife material.If you’ve ever dreamed of being devotionally led by a healthy masculine partner,you’ll want to grab a pen and start getting to work.You deserve love that is secure.Your wingman on the adventure,Nima____________________________________________________________________Click the link below to watch the complete transmission:https://youtu.be/3KS1nCt9bsk

  • Why You Are Repeating These Patterns
    Nov 3 2024

    It was 2019 when I realized something had to change.

    I’d nailed success in almost every area of my life—
    except one: intimate relationships.

    Every relationship ended up in a mess,
    and I couldn’t figure out why my last one was such a disaster.

    Then I discovered the concept of enmeshment—and everything clicked.
    It was the root of the trauma bond, the codependency,
    and the endless push-pull that kept me stuck in toxic cycles.

    I was shocked.
    Here I was—smart, successful—
    yet always falling into this same, self-destructive dance.
    Highs that started strong and fizzled out,
    leading to me becoming the "bad guy" in someone else's story.

    That last relationship?

    It was my wake-up call.
    I was committed to NEVER repeating that again.
    So I dug deep, and I uncovered 3 hidden forces that kept me stuck in these patterns.

    Now I’m married and there’s ZERO drama.

    What were the blind spots I had to uncover to get there?

    I share them in my latest Manxiety Podcast episode.

    If you relate to #3, there’s good news—
    you CAN break free if you’re willing to practice the skill I discuss.

    If you want:

    • Deep connection without falling into the same toxic cycles,
    • To break the generational patterns of struggle in relationships,
    • To be in control of your moods,
    • And to honor your boundaries, rather than bulldozing over red flags…

    It starts with understanding and healing these 3 forces.

    If you’re ready to get uncomfortable and do something radically different,
    this episode is for you. It’s about owning your freedom and creating the safety you deserve.

    You’ve got this.

    Your wingman on the adventure,
    Nima

    P.S. If you’ve tried therapy, read the books,
    done the work, have achieved success in your career,
    but keep falling into the same anxious avoidant dance,
    maybe it’s time to get to the root.

    I’m offering a limited number of Trigger-Proof Blind Spot sessions
    to help you uncover how enmeshment may still be running your relationships.
    If you’re ready to take a real deep look in the mirror, and receive honest feedback
    that’s intended to uncover what you may not be able to see,
    and you’re humble enough to want to grow and committed to do the work,
    hit reply with your back story and what work you’ve done,
    how it’s impacting your career, and end it with:

    "Nima, I’m ready to break free. Send me your private calendar link.”

    If you’re good at following instructions, and I can spot a potential snag,
    and I think I can help you, I’ll send you my link and we can talk.
    No obligation.

  • How to Understand the Avoidant
    Sep 22 2024

    When you’re reading about relationships
    and secure attachments, avoidants get thrown under the bus.

    As I unpacked my last relationship which was definitely a Trauma Bond,
    I had to take ownership of my avoidance behaviors and find the root cause.

    I didn’t want to go through the painful push-pull dynamic again.

    I wanted to trust myself.

    I wanted to trust love.

    Even though I was successful at work,
    I desperately craved the feeling of love that felt secure.

    I didn’t want to die NOT having experienced safe and secure love.

    Now, in teaching the people in my cyclebreakers community how to go
    from insecure to secure attachments by learning high level skills in relating,
    I noticed how much resentment those with anxious attachment carry
    towards their avoidant partners.

    So I decided to hit the record button to help those with anxious attachment
    better understand their avoidant partners.

    In this episode I reveal the MAIN THING that avoidants are trying to avoid.

    When you understand this— you feel less victimized and resentful.
    Your frustration turns to compassion— and from there,
    you have much better options than to push them away with more neediness.

    This episode is to help those who identify as avoidants
    (or those who partner with avoidants) to upgrade your understanding
    of what’s really going on— so that you can make the shift towards
    emotional healing and creating the most important experience as a human being:

    Love that feels fulfilling and connected.

    A home that feels like a sanctuary.

    Safety in your Nervous System.

    This is for you if you want to shift your avoidance behaviors,
    or to make it safer for your avoidant partner to turn TOWARDS you
    when they are taking space.

    Your wingman on the adventure,
    Nima
