“It's brave of them to let people just step in and screw up. But it's not about how well you do, or whether you want to do it - we have a task and each person embodies it. If we're getting anything here, it's that authenticity.” - Gyokei Yokoyama   They say you don't choose your family, and in Zen we don't pick our sanghas. Gyokei discusses what it means to practice with a sangha, why it can be the trickiest and most rewarding of the big three jewels (Buddha, Dharma, & Sangha), and the kind of authentic bonding that only happens when we don't get to choose who we sit next to in the zendo. In a culture of transactional communities, what are we getting out of this one? How can we tell the difference between being taken advantage of in a community, versus doing our part to a greater whole? And how do we run a successful operation when the operating plan is to let people screw it up? Find out here.

In this week's episode, I'm talking about some of the couples I've worked with who came to me feeling like friends without benefits before we started working together. I'm sharing their stories of how they learned frameworks to help them change from living like roommates to developing an intimate friendship. You'll hear about Jon and Julie, Josh and Emily and Bill and Marsha. Each of them struggled to connect and communicate until they learned certain skills and committed to doing things differently than they were doing before. They needed a neutral third party to point out the dynamics in their relationship they couldn't see themselves. For more information on coaching with me, book a call at: https://secretsofhappilyeverafter.com/apply. For details about the Valentine's Day Romantic Retreat in McCall, Idaho, check out: https://secretsofhappilyeverafter.com/vdayretreat.

Damon, Jordan & Tony are curious, do the best relationships start from platonic friendships? We play a game of never have I ever, asses the environments where Queer people meet, discuss the benefits of or lack there of in prioritizing platonic friendship over romantic attraction, and share our thoughts on casual sex between friends. We are excited to welcome you back with a fun topic on which we hardly agree. This one is a hot button within a community in which the dating and friendship pool is small and greatly overlaps. We know a lot but we don't know it all so join the conversation on social and let us know your thoughts.
