Ep. 34: Sex After Childbirth with Special Guest Anne Chronnell 45:41

Disclaimer: This episode focuses on vaginal birth only and may contain triggering information for some listeners. The term "normal" birth is used ironically and in the video version on YouTube you can see that Anne uses quotation marks. If you or your partner has recently given birth, here's a podcast for you! In this episode, we welcome our special guest counsellor Anne Chronnell who specializes in helping us navigate major life events such as childbirth and parenting. We chat about what the body goes through and needs to heal from, expectations we/our partners/or society places upon the birther, ways to build intimacy with your partner, and how to support someone who's given birth. Note: we recognize not all birthing parents identify as female and may use terminology other than "mother" to describe themselves. Find out more about Anne and her work at https://redtentcounselling.ca or reach her directly at her email: info@redtentcounselling.ca Anne is hosting an in-person workshop for new birthers with babies 0-6 months old in January 2024 in Kelowna, BC, Canada. #polyam #polyamorous #polyamorousrelationship #sex #healthyrelationship #becomingaparent #parenthood #birthing #givingbirth #newparents #newparent #ethicalnonmonogamy #openrelationship #openrelationships #womenshealth #labour #intimacy #intimacygoals #intimacycoaching #sexcoach #relationshipcoach #relationshipcoaching #relationshipcoachingformen #relationshipcoachingforwomen…

Ep. 33: Comparison in Non-Monogamy 1:03:28

há 1 year1:03:28

1:03:28

Comparison is the thief of joy! You may have heard that, recognize its importance and STILL suffer with comparison. We chat in this episode about our experiences with comparison, how it's shown up in our relationships and what we can do to help manage or reframe comparison to make it more helpful! While we focused in this episode on the differences in relationships to highlight their uniqueness, it is also worth noting that you may find yourself comparing similarities - which can lead to feeling "replaceable". Again, refocusing on what makes you special and unique as a human will help with those feelings. Also asking for reassurances from your partner(s). Books recommended: "Polywise" by Jessica Fern and David Cooley, and "The Body is Not an Apology" by Sonya Renee Taylor as well as the Workbook "Your Body is Not an Apology" by the same author. Error: Around 2:20 Leanne said "I'm comparing myself to my partner" but what she meant was "comparing myself to my meta" - although it also points out that you may feel competitive with your partner as well! #polyamorousrelationship #polyamory #polyamorous #polyam #ethicalnonmonogamy #consensualnonmonogamy #empoweredpoly #relationshipadvice #relationshipcoach #relationshipcoaching #relationshipcoachingforwomen #relationshipcoachingformen #comparison #healthyrelationships #healthyrelationship…

We were super jazzed to have psychotherapist and author of "Polysecure", Jessica Fern, return with her co-author David Cooley to chat about their new book, "Polywise" which is an amazing resource on healthy relating. We discuss restorative relationship conversations, parts work, codependency, ambiamory and how Eastern philosophy helped shaped their journey, as well as we dive into their own relationship history. Eye-opening and genuine conversation with two awesome humans! We had a blast! NOTE: Outtakes at the end!

You may not have heard about Ambiamory - the ability to be in either monogamous or polyamorous relationships. For those who identify as Ambiamorous, like Leanne, there are challenges and gifts. We invite you to explore what Leanne's journey of Ambiamory is like. If you're confused about why your mono-mind is so active when you really WANT to be polyamorous, or you wonder why as a monogamous person you can't shake the need to have other connections, this may be the episode for you!

#polyamory #polyamorousrelationship #openrelationships #openrelationship #nonmonogamy #ethicalnonmonogamy #relationship #relationships #healthyrelationships #entitlement #possessiveboyfriends #possessiveness #unhealthyrelationships #personaldevelopment *Content Warning: sexual assault mentioned. Steeped in the mindset of possessiveness and ownership, entitlement can show up in ANY relationship, and polyamory is no exception. We chat about what entitlement is and how it's different than deserving, about the ways in which people feel entitled to you and why it's important to shift away from it when it does show up for you. Join us (Leanne & Greg Million) as we share our insights from our own experiences as well as what we've observed as Relationship Coaches. And sometimes we have an "aha" moment during one of these shows!

#polyamory #relationshipcoach #ethicalnonmonogamy #relationshipadvice #breakingup #breakups #endingarelationship #shiftingarelationship #polyamorous #openrelationship #openrelationships #relationshipcoaching #howtobreakup #managingabreakup In this episode, we take a look at how to mindfully frame a breakup in a healthy way, managing our feelings, holding space for the other person and dealing with potentially challenging or difficult breakups. During this podcast, we actually had a slight misunderstanding. Leanne had offered the idea of bringing to your partner how you would like to be broken up with, and Greg misheard this as "ask your partner how they'd like to be broken up with". Subsequently, Leanne didn't correct him, but went with the flow (as she is wont to do) and assumed she'd said it incorrectly. We missed that left turn and ended up in Albuquerque (if you know, you know). Ultimately, it all turned out fine in the end with some important discussion. Trigger warning: we mention situations where someone may be at risk and need to leave immediately, and we also mention getting help if you are in danger from yourself or others. These are not discussed in detail. Reference to the book "Illunimata: a Return to Prayer" by Marianne Williamson.…
