Too Much, Not Enough: Healing the Polarity Wound in Relationships

Too Much, Not Enough: Healing the Polarity Wound in Relationships27 Aug51 min

<p>Every couple knows this dance: she reaches for more and he braces, or he tries to fix what was never broken and she feels unseen. In this episode, Mike and Courtney unpack two of the most common wounds in relationships — the "too much" wound in the feminine and the "not enough" wound in the masculine — starting with a reframed reading of the Adam and Eve myth through a goddess mythology lens.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then they get real: earlier that same day, Mike and Courtney had their own version of this exact rupture, and they walked through the entire thing — what was said, what was heard, where it went sideways, and how they repaired it. It’s an unfiltered look at how these ancient wounds show up in a real marriage, and what it actually takes to soften them.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you’ve ever felt like you were "too much" for your partner, or like nothing you do is ever "enough," this conversation will change how you see that pattern — and your partner.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Connect With Us</strong></p><ul><li><p>The Initiated Man — Mike’s men’s community for doing this work in brotherhood, not alone: <a href="https://www.itsmikeelliott.com/TIM" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.itsmikeelliott.com/TIM</a></p></li><li><p>The 2:2 Couples Container — private, intensive couples work with Mike &amp; Courtney: <a href="https://www.thesacredwe.com/2-2-container-details" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thesacredwe.com/2-2-container-details</a></p></li><li><p>Sign up for our couples list: <a href="https://www.thesacredwe.com/thesacredwe" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thesacredwe.com/thesacredwe</a></p></li><li><p>Bringing the Oracle to Him: <a href="https://www.courtneywren.com/bring-your-oracle-to-him" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.courtneywren.com/bring-your-oracle-to-him</a></p></li><li><p>Rebirth 1:1 with Courtney: <a href="https://www.courtneywren.com/containers" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.courtneywren.com/containers</a></p></li><li><p>Work with Mike: <a href="https://www.itsmikeelliott.com/coaching" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.itsmikeelliott.com/coaching</a></p></li></ul><p>Email: <a href="mailto:transform@itsmikeelliott.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">transform@itsmikeelliott.com</a>  <a href="mailto:relating@courtneywren.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">relating@courtneywren.com</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mikeelliott.relating/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/mikeelliott.relating/</a>    <a href="https://www.instagram.com/courtneywren.relating/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/courtneywren.relating/</a></p><p><br /></p>
