In this wonderful couch talk with Alison Armstrong we hit on some powerful topics: 1. Her background and how she became an enlightened relationship expert 2. How to keep from "Frog Farming" as she calls it when we are in relationship, 3. How to empower our mate, 4. Understanding key differences between the masculine and feminine in relationship 5. Discussion on Stress in relationships and the peri-menopause and peri-andropause Alison Armstrong is a sought-after speaker in the areas of gender differences, well-being, empowerment, sexuality and relationships. She is the author of The Queen's Code and creator the widely acclaimed "Queen’s Code" workshop series, plus a host of other products and programs designed to foster understanding and further partnership between men and women. In Alison’s own words, "I'm passionate about Partnership. I want to know everything about this paradigm – this magic that can happen between people. What makes a partnership possible, what makes one brilliant, what destroys a partnership, what expands the power of partnership. Everything I study and distinguish is to give greater access to the phenomenon of partnership. "This is why I've spent so much time on male/female and masculine/feminine dynamics. The misunderstandings and misinterpretations between testosterone-based and estrogen-based creatures (usually known as men and women, but not always) devastate lives, destroy families, and put our dreams of love and fulfillment out of reach. And that's just in the personal, romantic domain. Apply these misconceptions to education, work and community, and the real consequences of fundamentally not understanding each other are exponentially worse."
