The Dumbledore Reframe
Ancient Role Models https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Dec13_Post.mp3 One of the reasons they invented storytelling was because it provided good role models.

Reframe Her Tests In The Right Direction For Massive and Instant Attraction
When a girl tests you, how do you respond? There’s three or four ways that are pretty common responses, but not all of them are helpful. But first, let’s understand what those “tests” mean.
