In this eye-opening episode of The Gathering of Lions, Min. D sits down with special guest Dr. Lisa Oppong to unpack how unhealed anger and hidden fear show up in dating and relationships.

Why do some men pull away when things get serious?

Why does frustration turn into silence, control, or emotional distance?

This conversation dives into how past hurt, fear of vulnerability, and unhealed anger shape the way men show up in dating—often leading to emotional distance, inconsistency, and difficulty building healthy relationships. It challenges men to confront what’s beneath the surface, do the inner work, and learn how to show up fully, communicate effectively, and build something real.

This isn’t just about dating—it’s about doing the inner work so you don’t bleed on people who didn’t cut you.If you’ve ever struggled with trust, opening up, or maintaining healthy connections, this episode will challenge and equip you to show up differently.
