Know a woman who’s carrying too much in her relationship (or just needs support)?


Hey Reader,

I’ve been hearing from women for years—quietly, consistently—asking for something that didn’t exist yet.

Some are women doing the emotional heavy lifting in a relationship where their partner still doesn’t “get it.”

Others are women whose partners are trying—maybe even working with me—but they’re still uncertain, cautious, or just carrying a lot on their own.

What they’ve all shared in common is this:

They’re tired of feeling like the only one doing the work.

They want to stay open—but don’t want to keep over-functioning.

They want clarity—without burning the whole thing down.

That’s why I’ve created something new.

It’s called RISE—a coaching and support community for women who are navigating relational stuckness, healing, or awakening.

And I’ve just opened a waiting list for it.

If enough women are interested, I’ll open it soon—very soon.
If there’s not much interest, that’s okay too. I’ll trust the timing.

This won’t just be me hosting it.
My wife, Zelda, will also be participating in the space.
We’ve walked our own version of this journey. She knows this terrain not just as a partner but as a woman who's had to find her own clarity and voice—even when I hadn't yet.

You can learn more or join the list here:

If someone comes to mind—a wife, a friend, a sister, or your own partner—who could use a space like this, feel free to pass this along.

Even just knowing this kind of support exists can be a huge relief.

With care and respect,
Sven

Hey, I’m Sven Masterson—husband, father, mentor, and coach to men who refuse to stay stuck. I work with men who are tired of frustration, conflict, and self-doubt—men who are ready to break free from patterns that keep them small and step into a life of strength, clarity, and purpose. For years, I’ve helped men navigate the toughest personal and relationship challenges—not with gimmicks or quick-fix tactics, but by guiding them to unravel emotional struggles, reclaim their power, and lead their lives with confidence. Through my writing, private community, and one-on-one mentoring, I challenge men to rise—to stop waiting, stop blaming, and start leading themselves and their relationships with unshakable presence. If you’re done with feeling stuck and you’re ready to become the man your life, marriage, and mission need you to be, let’s get to work.

Hey Reader, If you’ve been doing the work—calming your reactivity, leading yourself, tending the emotional fire in your home—but still find your wife cold, guarded, or withdrawn… You’re not alone.

Hey Reader, I want to share something with you that’s been decades in the making. For most of my life, I carried a deep ache—a hunger I couldn’t name but also couldn’t escape. It showed up in childhood crushes, romantic fantasies, emotional intensity, and a constant low-level sense that something… or someone… was missing. It took me years to realize the ache wasn’t about a woman.Not about the one I married.Not the ones I admired.Not even the ones I secretly fantasized about in my lowest...

Hey Reader, For years, Craig believed what most of us have been taught: If I work harder, provide more, and push through… eventually, she’ll see how much I love her. So he bulldozed his way through life—building a house, growing a business, staying busy, doing everything right. But underneath the effort was a silent desperation. He was exhausted. Resentful. Alone. And no matter how much he did, it never seemed to be enough. His wife felt it. His kids felt it. He felt it. And when everything...
