Ever feel like your journey into non-monogamy is all about hard work? You're not alone. Many people reach a point where they wonder if all the emotional regulation, self-reflection, and relationship meetings are worth it. This feeling is incredibly common, whether you initiated opening your relationship or not.We've both been there. The reality is that unpacking our assumptions about relationships takes significant emotional energy, especially when regular life continues demanding our attention. But there's so much you can do to make peace with these feelings. This episode will help you to re-ground into your reasons for being poly, and find practical tips for re-energizing and recovering from overwhelm.In this episode, we talk about:— Why it's normal to feel overwhelmed by the constant self-work required in non-monogamous relationships— The importance of connecting to your "poly why"—your personal values and reasons for choosing this path— How entitlement can secretly undermine our experiences when things feel asymmetric or unfair— Why community support is crucial when navigating difficult emotions (and what to do if you don't have access to community)— The value of self-expression through writing, art, or other creative outlets when processing challenging feelings— How to recognize when you're falling into the "martyr" or "hero" archetype in your relationships— The difference between dating for genuine connection versus dating to "balance the scales" when your partner is having more fun than you— Why celebrating your milestones and growth—even the seemingly small ones—is essential for sustainability— The importance of acknowledging that asymmetry is normal in relationships, and "balance" may not be the right goal— How to reconnect with pride in your journey of unpacking the ownership model of relationshipsResources mentioned in this episode:— Our PWF episode about finding compatible partnersJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & support.

What happens after you build the business of your dreams… but have no idea what comes next?In this vulnerable solo episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really looked like to step away from the day-to-day at Social Curator, operationalize the company, and wait for “the next big thing” to arrive.Spoiler alert: It didn't.I share how I found myself on a remote island in Hawaii with no social media, no laptop, just a journal—and a lot of questions. Despite outward success, I felt stuck, unsure, and disconnected from my purpose. This is the behind-the-scenes of navigating a personal and professional identity shift, facing silence after momentum, and learning to sit in the unknown.If you've ever hit a wall in your business and thought, “What now?”... you're not alone.Let's talk about what happens in the in-between.Because friend… if you don't quit, you can't lose.Click >>PLAY
When Dr. Nachi Felt first joined us, he introduced two big ideas that stuck with a lot of listeners—the Cycle of Ambiguity and the Cycle of Agency. Those conversations gave language to what so many of us experience every day with ADHD: the frustration of getting stuck, and the relief that comes when we finally start moving again.This time, Nachi is back to take the next step forward with something new: the Cycle of Accountability. It's not about guilt or discipline or “holding yourself to higher standards.” It's about what happens when you stop treating accountability like punishment and start seeing it as connection—to your values, to your sense of purpose, to the people who matter to you.Together, we dig into how meaning drives motivation for ADHD brains, why avoidance feels so sneaky and familiar, and how the smallest acts of self-acceptance can spark real change. Along the way, Nachi talks about trauma, growth, and what it means to finally believe that you matter enough to take ownership of your own story.Links & NotesClearheaded by Dr. Nachi Felt • Sign up and get the introduction to the new book right now!Support the Show on PatreonDig into the podcast Shownotes Database (00:00) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (01:12) - Support the Show: Https://patreon.com/theadhdpodcast (02:04) - Introducing Dr. Nachi Felt (04:08) - The Cycle of Ambiguity (22:10) - The Cycle of Accountability (44:21) - Clearheaded by Dr. Nachi Felt ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In today's episode, I share the story of how chasing money and success left me feeling empty, even after I had everything I thought I wanted. From growing up poor with a single mom to becoming a millionaire just a few years out of law school, I believed that financial security would buy love and happiness. It wasn't until losing everything and confronting the limits of success that I began to understand humility, gratitude, and purpose. I talk about learning to love what I don't like, why intuition is timeless, and how fulfillment only comes when your pursuit aligns with who you truly are.

He's also a good guy to sit next to at the hockey games. Segment 1: Opener discusses the Frozen Frenzy, among other topics. Perron's skill provides the first goal. Ivankovic steals the day. Special teams good again. Too many penalties bogging down the flow of 5v5. Have you ever seen an empty netter like that one? Segment 2: Another pretty even game, just didn't go Michigan's way. Called off goal might've been the turning point. First freshmen defensive breakdowns of the year. Felt like a trap game going in. Is PSU good? Is Wisconsin good?

In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, we're exposing one of the most seductive lies in modern spirituality: the curated, beautiful, emotionally soothing version of feminine spirituality that looks sacred—but is rooted in self-made religion.Drawing deeply from Colossians 1–2, we'll walk through how rituals, divine feminine teachings, and aesthetic spirituality may have the appearance of wisdom, but lack the power to transform or save.You'll hear my personal story of reading Colossians for the first time while visiting Destin, Florida—exactly one year after God began pulling me out of the New Age. This powerful, Scripture-rich episode is a must-listen for Christian women who are waking up to the false light and craving true Biblical wisdom and freedom in Christ.

Ed Cofrancesco, chief executive officer at International Assets Advisory, says there is a disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street, where the economy has been great for stocks but consumers have been feeling the pain. He is hoping to see rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, with the impacts trickling down to Main Street in ways that might perk up some of the soft data and consumer sentiment, and that could help people avoid falling into the trap of spiraling debt. Stefan Sharkansky, creator of The Best Third, discusses his research, which shows that the classic "4% Rule" — where retirees expect to be set for life financially if they can live by spending no more than 4 percent of their retirement nestegg annually — has two bad potential outcomes, either premature depletion of their portfolio or unnecessary underspending. He dials in on how savers can better view their savings to make more efficient use of their nestegg. Kyle Guske, investment analyst at New Constructs, revisits Warby Parker in The Danger Zone, noting that the eyeglass maker and retailer is popular but that brand-recognition alone isn't enough to make a good stock, particularly if it leads to greater sales without any signs of profits. New Constructus first put Warby Parker in the Danger Zone when it was going through its IPO in 2021. Plus Lester Jones, chief economist for the National Beer Wholesalers Association, discusses the latest Business Conditions Survey released today by the National Association for Business Economics, which showed that economists believe the likelihood of a recession is shrinking, at least for now.

This conversation goes deep — into healing, intuition, and what it truly means to live in alignment with your dreams. Zoe shares her story of finding kinesiology after walking away from osteopathy studies, and how that choice changed everything. She also opens up about breaking free from an abusive relationship and the deep transformation that followed — including a newfound sense of freedom she recently experienced at Burning Man.

"The protection of interiority is the central motivation of Metamodernism." So says Greg Dember, a Seattle-based musician, songwriter and independent researcher in Metamodernism. As the co-founder of the What Is Metamodern? website with Linda Ceriello, PhD, Greg's writing and podcast appearances speaking on metamodernism have helped popularize the terminology outside of academic discourse through accessible writing. He is the author of Say Hello To Metamodernism!: Understanding Today's Culture of Ironesty, Felt Experience, and Empathic Reflexivity (2024 Exact Rush). He is also a co-editor of the forthcoming multi-author volume, My Impossible Soul: The Metamodern Music of Sufjan Stevens (Bloomsbury/Lexington). He holds a BA (1987) from Yale University.____________Greg and Linda's Metamodern site - https://www.whatismetamodern.comGreg's article on the 11 methods of Metamodernism - https://medium.com/what-is-metamodern/after-postmodernism-eleven-metamodern-methods-in-the-arts-767f7b646cae Greg's book on Metamodernism - https://www.amazon.com/Say-Hello-Metamodernism-Understanding-Reflexivity/dp/B0DHGFKZ8W/__________In this conversation, I sit down with Greg to explore metamodernism as the cultural backdrop that's emerged since roughly 2000, taking over from postmodernism's ironic detachment. We discuss how metamodernism oscillates between modern earnestness and postmodern irony to defend the significance of interiority and felt experience. Greg introduces his framework of 11 metamodern methods—including empathic reflexivity and the double frame—and we examine how artists like the Daniels (Everything Everywhere All At Once), Wes Anderson, Bo Burnham, and even The Beatles navigate this territory. The conversation ranges from David Letterman's evolution to Don Quixote as a proto-metamodern text, exploring how this sensibility has spread from indie niches into mainstream culture, and what it means for how we make and experience art today._____________⏳Timestamps0:00 Episode Intro2:26 Greg's current work: Sufjan Stevens book3:26 What is metamodernism?

This talk explores the transformative power of tuning into the felt sense—the subtle, bodily knowing that lies beneath thought and emotion. Rooted in early Buddhist teachings and supported by contemporary somatic practices, the felt sense offers a direct path to presence, insight, and release. By connecting deeply with the body from the inside out, we ground our awareness in the Four Foundations of Mindfulness and begin to directly experience the liberating truths of impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, and non-self. You'll learn how to recognize and trust the language of inner sensation, how the felt sense awakens the Five Spiritual Faculties—faith, energy, mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom—and how this embodied presence becomes a guide for wise action and compassionate insight. Through reflections, guided sensing, and practical tools, you'll discover how to stay close to what's real and alive, and how this intimacy with the body can lead to deep inner freedom.
We all carry shame—it's part of the human experience. But what if there was a way to transform that shame into something more nurturing and supportive? In this episode, we welcome back Jessica Fern and David Cooley to discuss their groundbreaking new book, Transforming the Shame Triangle: From Shame to Love with Parts Work. Jessica describes this as her most important book yet!This isn't just another relationship book—it's a practical guide to understanding and transforming the internal patterns that keep us stuck in cycles of shame, self-criticism, and unhealthy coping mechanisms. Whether you're in a monogamous or non-monogamous relationship, the tools and insights shared in this conversation can help you build more authentic connections with yourself and others.In this episode, we talk about:— What the "shame triangle" is and how it operates within us— How shame narratives are inherited from family, culture, and society rather than being personal flaws— The ways our inner critic can transform into an inner coach with more supportive messaging— How our "escaper" behaviors (like perfectionism, numbing out, or overworking) can evolve into inner nurturers— The connection between attachment styles and our preferred escape strategies— Why addressing our shame triangle is essential for authentic living rather than just surviving— Practical ways to recognize when you're caught in the shame triangle during interactions with partners— How to create a shared language around shame that can deepen intimacy and understanding— The importance of differentiating between raw emotional experiences and the shame stories we tell about them— How this work can help break cycles of intergenerational traumaResources mentioned in this episode:— Jessica and David's new book: Transforming the Shame Triangle: From Shame to Love with Parts Work (out October 31st)— Jessica's website— David's websiteJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & support.

Send us a textWhat happens when the generation meant to build the future feels like they don't have one?In this raw and deeply personal solo episode, host Lira Ndifon steps out from behind the interview mic to share her own harrowing battle with depression—a journey that stripped her of her identity but ultimately led her to her purpose. But her story is just the beginning. Lira confronts a crisis hiding in plain sight: the staggering rates of mental health struggles among children and teens. Armed with alarming statistics, she reveals that 73 to 74 million children in the US are grappling with mental health issues, yet a devastating 79% receive no support.This isn't just about numbers; it's about the silent suffering behind closed doors, the stigma that keeps young people—especially young men—from speaking up, and the societal pressures contributing to suicide becoming the second leading cause of death for ages 10-34. Lira challenges the silence, arguing that open conversation is not the risk—it's the antidote. She connects the dots between untreated mental health, community violence, and the specific hurdles faced in African and African American communities.This is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone who cares about the next generation. You will discover:Lira's Untold Story: How losing her identity led her to the depths of depression and the self-reflection practices that brought her back.The Shocking Statistics: A clear breakdown of the youth mental health crisis and why it demands our immediate attention.Beyond the Stigma: Understanding the unique challenges and cultural barriers preventing young people, especially boys, from seeking help.Your Mental Wellness Toolkit: Four simple, powerful tools—journaling, meditation, exercise, and community—that Lira personally used to heal and that you can implement today.This episode is a powerful blend of vulnerability and data, a heartfelt plea for awareness, and a practical guide to finding hope in the darkness. It's a reminder that your pain can become your power, and that you are never, ever alone.If this conversation moved you, please share it. Your voice matters.

We all experience transitions in our relationships. And, they can actually be even more frequent in non-monogamous relationships, like when our attention shifts from one partner to another, when we leave for a date, or when we return home. These seemingly small shifts in energy and attention can create surprising friction, even in the healthiest dynamics.A ton of us could use extra support around these issues. In fact, transition management is the topic that results in the most emergency sessions scheduled with Dr. Joli! That's because these moments, when handled poorly, can turn what could be positive experiences into sources of conflict and disconnection. But with some thoughtful planning and self-awareness, transitions can actually become opportunities for deeper intimacy.In this episode, we talk about:— What relationship transitions actually are (they're more than just coming and going!)— Why the "grinding" day-to-day moments can either build you up or wear you down— The importance of acknowledging your own transition style—are you a "fast shifter" or a "slow shifter"?— Why it's okay to be "high maintenance" about your transition needs (and why pretending you don't have needs only makes things worse)— How to create simple but effective transition rituals that don't have to be complicated to work— Why compromise in transition planning doesn't necessarily mean "splitting the difference"— The critical difference between reconnection and debriefing (and why mixing them can lead to problems)— How to handle the "last bit of time" before reunion, which is often the hardest part for the person at home— The unique challenges of managing transitions in long-distance relationships— Why the fear of being "too needy" can actually prevent us from creating the transition support we really needJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & support.
