The Deeper Meaning of Masculine Provision in Relationships
There is a quiet edge many women feel when the topic of provision arises.
On one hand, there can be a deep longing to be supported, cherished, and held in a dynamic where life feels resourced and steady. On the other, there may be fear - fear of losing independence, fear of being judged, or fear of surrendering into something unknown.
In this conversation with Courtney Ballard, we explore masculine provision not as a transaction, but as a relational experience. One that touches identity, trust, devotion, and the ways we allow ourselves to soften in partnership.In this episode, I invite Courtney Ballard on to talk all things letting a man provide for us financially, gender roles, the way masculine provision invites us to soften, and how it goes way beyond simply the financials.
We talk about:
🗝️ The misconceptions around being a ‘kept’ woman
🗝️ Being 'fully grown' inside a dynamic of provision
🗝️ How his ‘No’ is also provision
🗝️ Embracing the experience of softening
🗝️ Self protection and the fear of letting men pay for us
🗝️ Courtney’s journey from independent woman to allowing her partner to provide
🗝️ Softening to receive a man’s guidance and lead
