Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

“I am responsible not for how you feel, because I can't possibly know the meaning you're gonna make of everything I say, but I will be responsible to it. Meaning, I will be available [for that conversation] if you let me know what happened for you when I said this thing [that caused a disconnection], but I won't take responsibility for it.”

“We want to blame someone for how I feel. It's much easier than me thinking through all of what's happened to me in my life and becoming responsible that I don't want to blame myself, but I will blame you.”

Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

“Use Ketamine first because it can be an introductory [psychedelic] and that might be all you need. It's accessible, it's super, super safe, it's legal and the effects are short lasting, but the after effects are long lasting. So it really is like a good primer for psychedelics.”


“The biggest side effect is really that enhanced mood that lasts up to two weeks after, even if you're just doing the one dose. Clients report just feeling more energy, feeling a sense of lightness, you know just more joy, understanding and peace.”

From Toxic Relationships to Love Mastery | With Irena Polyakova

From Toxic Relationships to Love Mastery | With Irena Polyakova

Summary

Irena helps people overcome toxic relationship patterns from their childhood so they can master love in adult relationships. 


In this episode, you’ll learn about:

  • What it’s like growing up in an emotionally abusive environment.

  • Why it’s important to recognize red flags in relationships and discover what changes you need to make for a healthy relationship.

  • Re-parenting, healing the inner child, and identifying and challenging self-limiting beliefs and unhealthy attachment styles. 

  • The challenges of online dating and their experience with consensual non-monogamy. 

Irena was born and raised in Ukraine. After moving to USA in 2001 in search of better life and getting married at 23, her envisioned happily ever after crumbled very quickly. Growing up in an environment where all her emotions had to be suppressed, feeling unloved and abandoned, she only learned how to be ready for a fight, how to blame others and how to look for external validation desperately trying to feel worthy. 

After trying out various types of relationships, monogamy & polyamory, after having my two children, and living in different countries,she realized that she was the common denominator in all her unsuccessful attempts at relationships. She had to make changes. And she did. It was a long and painful process, but it was worth it. Now, being back in USA, she is dedicated to help others to acquire crucial skills for forming and sustaining healthy relationships.

FOCUS WHEELS - AN AMAZING TOOL FROM ABRAHAM-HICKS FOR FOCUSING YOUR INTENTION & SHIFTING YOUR FEELING STATE.


Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

“Because when we get triggered, this only points us in the area where work is needed. So when kids trigger me, that means something is healing within me, it's not the kids, it's me and it has made my parenting. It's still challenging. Don't get me wrong, but it has made it much easier.”


“I think the biggest issue they deal with is they're probably still using some kind of coping mechanisms they acquired long ago and they're just not realizing that their belief system is no longer serving them. And instead of reevaluating this system and their mechanisms and their default modes, they just keep applying them and applying, but it's no longer working.“

Seek the Risk: Non-monogamy through the eyes of an extreme sports participant | With Adam, Author

Seek the Risk: Non-monogamy through the eyes of an extreme sports participant | With Adam, Author

Summary

Adam discusses how extreme sports have influenced his perspective on non-monogamy and how facing challenges such as jealousy and self-worth issues have led to personal growth.


In this episode, you’ll learn about:

  • Adam's experiences with jealousy and imposter syndrome in a non-monogamous relationship, emphasizing the importance of autonomy and choice in exploring different sexual experiences. 

  • Adam making the connection between his fears in extreme sports and emotional challenges, emphasizing the importance of managing fear in ENM relationships.

  • Adam’s experience dealing with stigma and judgment from people who didn’t understand his chosen path for non-monogamy

Adam has been an adventure seeker his whole life. Climbing some of the world's steepest mountains, snowboarding epic backcountry mountain terrain, and BASE jumping off of objects and cliffs. Seeking the risk rather than the reward has been his guiding mantra and life philosophy, and it's what drew him into the world of non-monogamy at the age of 40. As Adam likes to say, he strives to get comfortable being uncomfortable because that's where his real living begins. But non-monogamy ended up being the ultimate test of his commitment to that philosophy.

Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

“I had to honestly solve my personal issues in my psyche around the impostor syndrome because that's what was driving a lot of the jealousy. And then once I got there, I could really sink into the healthy jealousy.”


“Masculinity was deciding about what kind of man I wanted to be. Do I want to be someone that friends, lovers, family members could count on, could they count on me physically? They can count on me emotionally. It meant being strong, not just showing people you were strong."

  • All about people-pleasing and doing the necessary work to heal

Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

“Inner child healing is very simply just reconnecting with your emotions to be with your emotions rather than engaging in behavior such as fixing someone else or rescuing a situation that we people-pleasers do. Or overeating or over drinking or overspending like any of this outside behavior that helps us escape ourselves.”

“But one of the most important things is that emotions want to move. So whenever you feel like you have a strong emotional reaction and your nervous system is activated, just move around."

Choice Theory

Existentialism Therapy


Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

“[ENM] does not have to be any kind of way as long as all members involved feel safe and like they are being respected in the relationships.”

“[Partners demonstrating people-pleasing] may be quieter or they're going to protest slightly but they back down. So it's very much like being pulled along is how I would describe it. That doesn't mean they're being coerced necessarily or not wanting it, but having that lack of differentiation of identifying really what their own needs, values, and feelings are and actually verbalizing them is what I notice.”

Let's talk about societal norms around sexuality and how they impact your journey of self-discovery. It's a wild ride!

Karine Bedard is The Sex Positive Relationship Designer and host of Breaking Free Authentically: The Sex Positive Relationship Podcast. Her mission is to help people Break Free from the Societal and Religious boxes that we have been programmed into that keep us from the ability to live Sexually Authentic lives. She is normalizing Ethical Non-Monogamy (open relationships) as an equally beautiful option to Monogamy so that people realize that they have Choices about what kind of relationships they can design for themselves.

She learned, in a very painful way, that not honouring your authenticity and truly loving yourself is destructive to your mental health and all of the other connections in your life. It is not selfish, it is necessary! She wants to help you transform and design the life and relationship of your dreams.


Main points from the show:

  • Self-discovery and meeting one's own needs are crucial, but it can create pressure on a partner.

Shifting the script to trusting desires, embracing pleasure, and finding a balance between religious practices and personal enjoyment can be the light at the end of the tunnel.

Episode 24: Unpacking ADHD: Coaching, Accommodations, and Relationships | With Kamden Hainsworth, ADHD Coach

Episode 24: Unpacking ADHD: Coaching, Accommodations, and Relationships | With Kamden Hainsworth, ADHD Coach

Unlocking the Power of ADHD Coaching: From Procrastination to Productivity Kamden worked as an educator in a variety of capacities for over ten years. She has always felt the most fulfilled helping others realize their true potential. Years after her daughter was diagnosed, Kamden received her own ADHD diagnosis at 36 years old and quickly began advocating and researching to learn how to build her new amazing life as an ADHDer.  Kamden developed TheADHDirectory after feeling the overwhelm of accessing ADHD information on the internet. This service is a one time 1:1 consultation service to help ADHDers (adults and minors) connect with personal and tailored resources including coaches, podcasts, books, and subscriptions that will help direct them to their ADHD home. 

Main Points from the Show:  This podcast episode explored various aspects of ADHD, including the lack of accommodations for students with ADHD, differences in diagnosis between childhood and adulthood, and how women may not get diagnosed or get misdiagnosed due to certain gender roles. The discussion also touched on the overlap between ADHD and anxiety or depression, and how ADHD coaching can help individuals get to the root of the problem and create systems that work for them. The episode also covered how to work with procrastination and ADHD, and how partners can support those with ADHD by being vulnerable, accepting the diagnosis, and asking for consent when offering help. Ultimately, ADHD is not a deficit of attention but a self-regulation disorder that affects emotions, time, impulsivity, and communication. Stay in touch with Kamden:

Episode 22: Polyamory, Monogamy, and Patriarchy - Oh My: Breaking Down Stigmas and Getting Real About Relationships | With Rachael Purtell, PhD Candidate

Episode 22: Polyamory, Monogamy, and Patriarchy - Oh My: Breaking Down Stigmas and Getting Real About Relationships | With Rachael Purtell, PhD Candidate

Why does it matter so much to others how many partner's someone has?
Rachael Purtell is a PhD Candidate that focuses on consensual non-monogamy (CNM) stigma and research, monogamy and sexism/patriarchy, bi/pansexual erasure. Rachael also sees teaching as a form of activism and believes it can be transformative and that her critical reflection of her positionality as a white, cisgender woman—who continues to benefit from whiteness both inside and outside the academy—has helped her to leverage her privilege to challenge the pervasive dominant ideologies and discursive forms of violence within academia and organizations.

Main points from the show:
In this podcast episode, we delve into the world of consensual non-monogamy (CNM) and its intersection with LGBTQIA+ communities. We talk about the statistics around CNM and discuss the lack of education and knowledge surrounding this topic, even among professionals in the field of sexuality and sexual orientation. Rachael noted the communication styles in CNM relationships and how jealousy is not only an issue in CNM dynamics but in other relationship dynamics as well. We discuss the stigma and barriers to healthcare for CNM communities and the lack of legal protections for marginalized communities. There is an intersection of monogamy and patriarchy and Rachael speaks to the disadvantages that women face in monogamous relationships.

Episode 21: How to kick the diet culture, love your body, and improve your relationships | With Jemma Haythorne, Body Image and Food Freedom Coach

Episode 21: How to kick the diet culture, love your body, and improve your relationships | With Jemma Haythorne, Body Image and Food Freedom Coach

It's time to burn diet culture to the ground! 

Jemma Haythorne is a Body Image & Food Freedom Coach who works from the non-diet approach, and will help you transform your relationship with food and your body, so that your life can be full of fun and pleasure again. Jemma believes in a weight-inclusive, Health at Every Size approach that helps you to achieve your goals from a place of self-love, respect and a positive mindset. Health doesn’t have to be hard!

Main points from the show:

Jemma shares what intuitive eating is and how it's coming back to what our body is asking for. She warns how restricting foods can lead to unhealthy eating habits, so giving yourself the freedom to eat what you want takes the power away from food. 

She notes that body image comes down to mindset, not about what you look like and affirmations alone improve your body image. The mirror exercise that she teaches can help you change the way you view yourself and help you realize that body acceptance can be more achievable than body positivity.

We talked about weight and how praising a partner for losing weight can do more hurt than good. Instead, try praising the actions your partner is taking on their health journey instead. She shared how to respond to people commenting on your weight. 

Lastly, we discussed how body image and working on a health journey impacts your sex life. She also shared how to feel more safe and confident in yourself about being intimate.

Episode 17: How to Feel Like You Again After a Betrayal in Your Marriage | Gilza Fort-Martinez, LMFT

Episode 17: How to Feel Like You Again After a Betrayal in Your Marriage | Gilza Fort-Martinez, LMFT

How do you ever recover from your partner betraying you? This episode will cover the process!

Gilza Fort-Martinez is a bilingual licensed marriage and family therapist with over 30 years of experience in conflict resolution, improving interpersonal relationships, stress management, and navigating life transitions. She has successfully helped individuals, couples and families rediscover and create paths of resolution that have turned their lives around. She is the founder and CEO of Resolution Counseling Center, a private practice in Miami, Florida and is certified in hypnotherapy, family therapy, and meditation.

Main points from the show:

We reviewed how the 4 R’s are a roadmap, a guide to restore and rebalance yourself after loss and betrayal. True rest can help your mind to slow down and  soothe yourself. With Reflection, you can intentionally look inward and listen to redirect your inner critic's criticism to feedback. Re-setting is about intentionally creating a life for yourself. Not just what you do (activities), but also how you do life. The last R is Re-engagement is the decision in both mind and body to return to relationships. Return to the process of getting to know someone else, now with a fuller knowledge of ourselves and what we want. We can use this knowledge to direct us to people that will fill us, instead of drain us.

Episode 6: What it's like living with a chronic illness and how it impacts relationships | With Dr. Kevin Payne

Kevin is a social psychologist, entrepreneur, author, podcast host, speaker, teacher, and frequent guest interview or panelist. He shares the results of his extensive research concerning how to live a quality life with chronic distress, pain, and illness. He also shares his personal exploits as a collector of experiences — even while battling Multiple Sclerosis for decades. Life is too remarkable to sit on the sidelines, even when we’ve got to get more creative about how we get in the game!

**Trigger Warning** There is mention of Suicide within this episode between minute 37-44. Please do what is best for you and skip over this portion of the episode, if needed. 

In this episode we cover:

  • Difficulties he's had on letting his own expectations go for life.
  • The prevalence of chronic illness and how it makes you more susceptible to other illnesses.
  • How important it is to nurture our bodies so that we can take care of them BEFORE they break down.
  • How sky diving became a lifestyle for him and how that had changed when he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
  • He opened up how difficult it was for his family to discuss his chronic illness.
  • He addressed why it's a problem to view your own chronic illness as a MonSter. 
  • He discussed how his chronic illness combined with his wife's health issues impacted their marriage.
  • Dr. Payne noted how Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes was something he related to in his own chronic illness.
  • Dr. Payne opened up about his own struggles with suicidal ideation and how he overcame that.
  • He discussed his book and the technology that he is creating (dropping late next year) to profile a person's problem and make an individualized treatment plan for that particular person.

If you go to yourlifelivedwell.co you can get a free chapter from Dr. Kevin Payne's upcoming book.
