Episode Notes

Finding the Guardian of Your Soul with Lisa Shield
Episode Title: “Is Your Success Intimidating Men… or Is It Something Else?”

Welcome to Finding the Guardian of Your Soul! I'm your host, Lisa Shield, and I’m thrilled to have you here. Please share this episode with your single girlfriends, guy friends, and anyone navigating the dating world. What we discuss here is something you won’t hear from other coaches—I bring a unique lens to the challenges smart, successful women face in modern dating.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into a common and frustrating narrative: “Men find me too intimidating.”
You’ve worked hard, climbed the ladder, built a life you’re proud of—so why does it feel like your success is working against you in dating?

I’ll share powerful insights from nearly 25 years of experience, including:

• Why it’s not your success that’s turning men away—but how you're presenting it
• The difference between being confident vs. coming across as masculine
• How to embrace your femininity without “dumbing yourself down”
• Why men do want strong, successful women—and how to let them in
• The importance of learning to receive, not reject, a man's gestures

You don’t need to be less of who you are—you just need to learn how to show up in your full, feminine power.

Whether you're getting lots of first dates but no meaningful connections—or you're just tired of hearing that you're “too much”—this episode is for YOU.
