Have you ever heard the saying, “men are from Mars, women are from Venus?” It comes from the popular 1992 book of the same name, which posited that men and women are fundamentally different, and it’s a lack of understanding of our male and female traits that causes problems in relationships. 

However this philosophy is outdated, and today’s guest has a different theory.

Christoffel Sneijders is a leadership coach and therapist, and he’s speaking with me today about what he calls the Mars and Venus Fallacy — because men and women are, in fact, biologically similar. 

Both sexes possess masculine and feminine traits, but it’s society that develops our biases around what’s appropriate or who we should be.


In the episode, we talk about how these biases affect relationships and leadership, and Christoffel’s scientifically-backed 3 brain theory.

He dives deep into his Head-Heart-Gut approach, including the purpose of each brain and how you can integrate them to make decisions that align with your goals. Plus, he shares the inspiration for his latest book, Relationships? Which Brain is Talking?

Tune in as we break myths, shed biases, and give you advice to flourish both at home and work!
