In this episode I sit down with Irene Morning who is a somatic coach, intimacy education, and author of the bestselling book, The Polyamory Paradox: Finding Your Confidence in Consensual Non-Monogamy. We dive into the ins and outs of polyamory with a focus on getting started and exploring it as both single or coupled.

Irene shares why polyamory is having a moment, common mistakes folks make when getting started, tips for doing it consciously and carefully, and what "centering your pleasure" means and looks like . We also dive into some of the deeper philosophical questions like the different reasons people choose polyamory and how to navigate those differences.

This episode is deep and rich and packed with insights for anyone exploring polyamory - whether you're brand new or been doing it for years! Plus, I share some of my own personal stories, questions, and insights as a long-time poly person who is only recently living a polyamorous lifestyle.

In this episode we really get to the heart of conflict resolution and how so many of us are missing the mark when it comes to repair conversations and what we can do about it. Intimacy coach, Dr. Hazel-Grace Yates, has used their extensive experience both personally and professionally to develop The REPAIR Process, which is designed to help others transform conflicts into connections with ease.

We talk about why this is so important and the many ways that we might be getting it wrong with repair. Plus, we dive deep into the 6 steps of the REPAIR process and how you can improve relationships and deepen connections using it. This REPAIR process is useful for ruptures both big and small, and the goal is to simplify these conversations so you can have them easily when needed.

Have you ever wished you could have more direct, clear conversations while in conflict? Do you struggle with regulating yourself when triggered? Do you feel like these convos just never quite go the way you want? Do you want to feel more connected after a repair conversation? Then this episode is for you!

In this episode, I sit down with Malcolm Dydo, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Freedom Within Prison Project, a Santa Cruz, CA-based nonprofit dedicated to restoring wholeness to individuals, families, and communities impacted by incarceration.

We talk about the recent, devastating execution of Marcellus “Khaliifah” Williams in Missouri. While tapping into our anger and sadness for the broken prison system, we also explore our shared hope for what is changing and can change.

Malcolm shares a broader view of what it's like inside and what incarcerated folks are up against, as well as the many ways that volunteer programs (like Freedom Within) are working hard (with success!) to create new pathways for healing, growth, connection, and learning.

This episode is an exploration of what is possible if we're open to empathy, change, and healing for every human. And how emotional literacy and human connection are foundational elements for every human's healing journey - and that everyone deserves access to.

Stefan Haves (an award-winning theatre and Cirque Du Soleil director and teacher) shares with us his life-long journey in theatre and the many twists and turns along the way, and some key insighs he has to pass along to the rest of us.

We dive into what clowning is, the art of it, and why it's important in both theatre and performing arts, but also in the world and in activism. Did you know that clowning is really based in the idea of anti-authority? And that the audience HAS to want the clown to the win? All this and a whole lot more is discussed around what actually makes clowning particularly healing for so many.
