In this episode, Melissa Roberts breaks down the cultural conditioning that trained women to manage men's emotions, lower their expectations, and mistake emotional regulation for emotional connection. From the "Silent Woman" era to the Mars / Venus phenomenon and the rise of pickup-artist culture, Melissa unpacks how each generation inherited the same unspoken rule: make him comfortable, and call that love.

You'll learn:

  • Why "understanding him" became code for suppressing yourself.

  • How Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus rewired us to normalize emotional distance, even 20+ years later.

  • The link between pickup-artist tactics and women's people-pleasing programming.

  • What really happens when you keep "managing his emotions."

Melissa's signature clarity and humor turn decades of pop-psychology into a clear map of how we got here—and how to get out.
