Our hormones shape so much of how we react to each other.

Women, driven by estrogen, are wired for connection and emotional harmony, while men, influenced by testosterone, tend to react to conflict with more aggression or defensiveness.

I’m diving into the biological differences between men and women and how those differences affect our relationships.

Understanding these natural differences is key to improving communication and reducing unnecessary blame.

When we manage our reactions and recognize our instinctual wiring, we can navigate relationships with more clarity and less emotional upheaval.
