Redefining Love, Long Distance, and Returning to the Nest (Season 6 | Episode 251) When Amir and I sat down with Jennifer and Chris for this episode, I knew we were in for something special. There is a quiet, profound sweetness in the way these two understand each other—a connection honed not by daily routines in the same living room, but through years of intentional presence across continents. As open nesters, so many of us are searching for ways to rewrite our stories once our kids begin to fly, and Jennifer and Chris offer a breathtaking map of what happens when you dare to choose an unconventional path. Open Nesters Podcast Ethical Non-Monogamy in Midlife Long-Distance Polyamory Relationships Navigating Relationships with Adult Children Redefining Intimacy and Relationship Design Their story began decades ago as high school sweethearts who eventually went their separate ways, traveled the world, and reconnected later in life via long-distance emails and letters. What struck me immediately was how they built a foundation of compersion—that rare, beautiful feeling of genuine joy for your partner's happiness outside of yourself—long before they even attached a label to their relationship. By the time they officially stepped into an adult relationship together, they had already learned how to cheer each other on from afar, establishing a deep sense of trust that would soon be tested and expanded in ways neither expected. When Jennifer brought up the idea of exploring ethical non-monogamy, it wasn’t a reckless leap; it was a conscious invitation to growth. For Chris, taking those first steps into polyamory while separated by an ocean was a radical, challenging shift that required deliberate inner work. They immersed themselves in books, attended meetup groups, and established dedicated two-hour check-ins to hold space for the hard, uncomfortable conversations. Through navigating long-distance dating, time zone hurdles, and emotional friction, they discovered that opening their relationship didn’t pull them apart—it built an indestructible framework for radical honesty and deep self-awareness. What I love most about their dynamic is how fluidly they allowed their relationship to evolve. After several years of practicing polyamory, both Jennifer and Chris found themselves naturally transitioning back toward a committed, monogamous bond. Their time exploring open relationships wasn’t a “failed experiment”—it was a transformative bridge that taught them how to express their desires, set healthy boundaries, and bring a renewed sense of erotic novelty and intimacy back to each other. It's a powerful reminder that we have full permission to design our relationships in seasons, choosing what serves our growth at any given stage of life. This spirit of openness inevitably ripples into our homes and how we show up for our adult children. Both Jennifer and Chris recently experienced the unexpected gift of having their adult daughters move back home—Jennifer's 26-year-old daughter for ten months, and Chris's daughter while pursuing her PhD in Germany. As parents, watching our children navigate their own adult transitions allows us to model a life of continuous self-discovery. By letting go of traditional expectations in our own lives, we create a supportive, judgment-free space where our children feel safe to grow, return, and eventually take flight again. As we move through midlife, there is so much grace in giving ourselves permission to ask for what we need, whether that's in the bedroom, in our careers, or in our living arrangements. Aging doesn’t mean settling into static routines; it's an invitation to step out of the “vanilla” defaults society hands us and try something new from the menu. When we embrace the pauses, practice active listening, and give ourselves grace, we realize that midlife isn’t about holding onto control—it’s about opening our hearts to whatever rich experiences are waiting for us next. Reframing “Addiction” If there's one takeaway from my conversation with Jennifer and Chris, it's that there is no single right way to be an open nester. Whether you are navigating long-distance longing, rethinking your relationship design, or welcoming adult kids back into your spare room, the secret lies in savoring every season for what it is. I encourage you to pause, listen closely to your partner and yourself, and step boldly into your next chapter. What is one area in your relationship or life where you could give yourself more permission to grow this week?

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Doug Curran and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I listened to 2 medleys - the Big Medley from the The Word Is Live box set, recorded on 5th October 1978 at The Forum, Inglewood and a recording of Jon Anderson and The New Life Band playing their Yes medley in 1980 at The Royal Albert Hall from a BBC recording broadcast the same year. Yes Medley - Jon Anderson - Royal Albert Hall Event 1980 The Big Medley (Time & a Word, Long Distance, Survival,The Fish, Perpetual & Soon) (Inglewood 1978) It was a very entertaining process and, as you'll hear, Mark has a particularly interesting reaction to the rather different style of the New Life Band's interpretations, on a tour that Jon Anderson arranged to promote his recently-released second solo album, Song of Seven. Having just left Yes for the first time, he ended up being out on tour at the same time as the Yeggles version of Yes, who boasted Geoff Downes and Trevor Horn as part of their (fairly hastily assembled) lineup. For his part, Anderson collected together brilliant musicians but with a rather different instrumentation to the classic rock band arrangement. The Big Medley wasn't played on The Drama Tour (unfortunately, some would say) so we can't compare these two performances directly, but they are very close in time. What songs were included in each medley? How does the New Life Band instrumentation work? Which ends up being a better Yes medley (and do we even make a decision on that)? Do take a listen to the recordings I have embedded into the show notes for this week and let us know what you think in the comments over at YesMusicPodcast.com

The Fantasy Loop™ doesn't happen randomly. It shows up in seven very specific relationship dynamics and life situations — and once you can name them, you'll start seeing them everywhere. In your past relationships. In your current patterns. In your friends. And if you're honest, in yourself.In Episode 318 of Secret Life Podcast, Brianne Davis-Gantt breaks down the 7 dynamics most likely to trap you inside The Fantasy Loop™ — and introduces a one-question tool to start breaking out of it.THE 7 DYNAMICS:1. Emotionally Unavailable RelationshipsYou're not relating to who they are. You're relating to their potential. As one client said: "I wasn't dating him. I was dating the future version of him." That is The Fantasy Loop™ in one sentence.2. The SituationshipSituationships are Fantasy Loop factories. No labels, no clarity, just enough connection to keep hope alive. The problem: the less information available, the more your imagination fills in the gaps. And eventually, the fantasy becomes stronger than the actual relationship. You're not grieving reality. You're grieving possibility.3. Long Distance and Online ConnectionsThe less physical reality you have, the more imagination takes over. More time imagining than experiencing. More time projecting than observing. More time building than verifying.4. The Ex You Can't Let Go OfYou're not holding onto the person. You're holding onto the fantasy of what you thought the relationship was —and the future you imagined. And if you don't separate the fantasy from the reality, you'll stay emotionally attached long after the relationship ends.5. Rescue DynamicsHelping becomes fixing. Fixing becomes saving. Saving becomes your identity. You're no longer relating to who they are — you're relating to who you hope they'll become with your help. That is not connection. That is projection. And projection always creates The Fantasy Loop™.6. The Future Fantasy LifeWhen I lose weight, when I make more money, when I launch my business, when I'm healed — then finally I can be happy. Then my life will begin. The Fantasy Loop™ convinces you fulfillment exists somewhere in the future. But the future never arrives, because every time you reach a milestone, the fantasy moves the goalposts.7. The Fantasy Version of YourselfThis may be the most painful loop of all. You spend so much time chasing your imagined self that you abandon the person who is here today. "I keep comparing myself to a version of me that doesn't even exist." Falling in love with your potential while abandoning your reality.All seven look different on the surface. Different people, different situations, different stories. But underneath, they're all built on the same foundation: emotional emptiness, ambiguity, longing, unmet needs, projection.And Brianne introduces The Truth Reset — a one-question tool to interrupt the loop: What is true right now? Not what you wish was true. Not what you hope could be true. What is true right now?Because truth is always, always going to break the fantasy.Resources at secretlifepodcast.comShare your secret: secretlifepodcast@icloud.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Paring Down: Realistic minimalism to live more intentionally
Nineteen years ago, a group of women came together at Christopher Newport University and built something truly special. I got to sit down with my very dear friend, Leslie Hepburn, to reflect on the journey of our acapella group, the Newport Pearls, who still gets together for annual retreats 19 years later. This episode is a celebration of the community that forms when friends choose each other, again and again, on purpose—and plenty of insight to create something similar in your own life.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back for another Ask Me Anything from Portugal and there is absolutely no shortage of chaos!The pair kick things off by diving into the realities of being reunited after time apart, with Abbey admitting Peter has completely ruined the routine she'd finally managed to get in place while solo parenting. There's also a fresh long-distance confession from producer Gaz, who reveals he took his girlfriend's pants to LA for “comfort” only for them to be neatly folded by the housekeeper and left on full display in his room…Elsewhere, Abbey and Peter discuss one listener's boyfriend who insists on calling a Leeds-to-Manchester relationship “long distance”, whether ugly animals are actually the cutest pets of all, and why Abbey can't stop rescuing tiny kittens in Portugal. There's also a truly bizarre internet confession involving a sex act, a shout of “Shabba!” and an Alexa request for Mr Bombastic that completely derails the pod.Plus, Abbey opens up about her Scouse identity, whether she's become “too posh” for Liverpool, and the strange experience of sounding too Scouse in London but not Scouse enough back home!If you want to submit an Agony Ab to the podcast - hit the link belowhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKDST4HU_8al_aWpOlys3TRJrWvDV-84piVdlOOjU4/edit00:00 Introduction02:20 G's Long Distance Comfort Knickers04:22 Abbey's New Coconut Coffee Obsession07:22 The Boyfriend Who Calls Leeds to Manchester ‘Long Distance'09:28 Ugly Pets, Feral Cats and A Farm Podcast Invitation12:17 Abbey's Portugal Animal Rescue Update15:17 The Shabba Bedroom Confession18:04 Laughing With A Straight Face19:01 Abbey on Being Scouse in London vs Liverpool22:20 Abbey Plans G's MakeoverTo contact us:Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouchWebsite: https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg Hosted on Acast.

Phil Burt has fitted Chris Froome, Bradley Wiggins, Chris Hoy and Geraint Thomas. He designs saddles for Physique, runs his own clinic in Manchester, and has spent two decades at the sharp end of bike fitting in elite sport. He also wrote a LinkedIn post recently that got a lot of people talking — and that's where this episode starts. Phil's argument: FTP is overrated. Not useless, but overrated. From there we get into why 165mm cranks are worth serious consideration for a lot of riders, why a bag full of expensive saddles is almost never the answer to the problem people think it is, and why after five or six hours in the saddle your position matters far more than your power numbers. We finish by talking about MyVeloFit, the app Phil has developed with a Canadian tech team that lets you access his expertise from anywhere in the world, without leaving your house. If you ride a bike for any serious amount of time, this one is worth your full attention. 5 KEY POINTS FTP is the engine but the chassis matters too. The right position, crank length and body robustness matter far more than power numbers beyond the five-hour mark. Asymmetry is normal and usually not a problem. British Cycling never worried about anything less than a 45/55 power split — trying to make people symmetrical often makes them worse. Saddles are almost never the actual problem. Phil's first question is always about the position the saddle sits in, not the saddle itself. Stance width is the next frontier. There is a 30cm difference in natural stance width across the human population, yet every bike uses the same pedal spacing. Comfort is performance in long distance events. After five hours anything suboptimal in your setup becomes a battle you don't need. 3 TAKEAWAYS Get the foundations right before chasing numbers. Bike fit, crank length and contact points are the platform everything else is built on. You don't know what you don't know. Even if nothing feels wrong, a bike fit can confirm that — which is just as valuable as finding a problem. Expert advice no longer requires geography or a big budget. MyVeloFit puts Phil's expertise within reach of anyone, anywhere in the world. KILLER QUOTE "After five hours there's a lot of fight going on already. Anything that's suboptimal in your setup, we just make more optimal. You don't want to be fighting anything you don't have to fight."

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Felix shares the story of a long-distance relationship that began like a once-in-a-lifetime romance and slowly became controlling, destabilizing, and physically abusive. What initially felt like fate was reinforced through intense declarations of love, marriage plans, international travel, matching rituals, and promises of a shared future. Over time, Felix found himself managing his partner's emotions, proving his commitment, sacrificing parts of his own life, and trying to solve problems that kept changing shape. Felix discusses love bombing, future faking, digital monitoring, emotional double standards, HIV-related shame, blame shifting, physical violence, strangulation, and the way apparent accountability pulled him back into the relationship. He also reflects on how the mythology of their love story kept replacing real repair, and how his body recognized the danger before he was fully ready to accept it. It's a story of long-distance relationships, control destabilization, physical abuse, fate, love bombing, future faking, digital monitoring, double standards, HIV-related shame, blame shifting, strangulation, LGBTQ domestic violence, lies, gaslighting, humiliation, withdrawal, whataboutism, false equivalence, verbal abuse, and abuse cycles. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode graphically discusses adult physical abuse (IPV), and strangulation. *** If you are in search of therapy from professionals dedicated to dealing with TRAUMA - Narcissist Apocalypse recommends REBOUND THERAPY and they can be reached at hellorebound.com/na Click if you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@pm.me Click on the title to read about Coercive Control as Care: Signs & Patterns Sign up to our Domestic Violence Newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Passione Triathlon n° 361Davide Labanti protagonista della nuova puntata di Passione Triathlon, intervista condotta da Dario Daddo Nardone.In questa profonda chiacchierata con il Daddo, il coach e atleta Davide Labanti ripercorre la sua lunga storia sportiva, iniziata precocemente nel nuoto agonistico nel 1982 e arricchita dalla multidisciplinarietà del tennis e del ciclismo, fino alla scoperta del triathlon. Davide analizza la sua evoluzione da "racer" e accanito agonista a tecnico consapevole, una transizione accelerata da una dura esperienza personale di overtraining e burnout psicofisico. Attraverso la sua filosofia del "less is more", Davide spiega l'importanza cruciale del riposo, i pericoli del fiondarsi su un Ironman senza un percorso graduale e condivide i ricordi magici delle sue qualifiche mondiali nell'Ironman 70.3 a Chattanooga e nell'Ironman a Kona (nuotando in mezzo alle tartarughe).

What actually keeps a long distance friendship alive for over two decades? Kelly is joined by her absolute ride-or-die, her best friend Aggie, who flew in from Chicago for this one, and they are getting into all of it.These two met in the early 2000s on the Chicago club scene and have now survived a coast-to-coast move, heartbreaks, a loss, cancer scares, and somewhere along the way, a whole lot of matching tattoos. In this episode, they share the real, practical things that have kept their friendship not just intact but genuinely thriving for 23 years, including nine of them with 2,000 miles in between.You'll hear about the importance of stating your intention out loud, why it doesn't have to be 50/50 (just mutual), the power of a FaceTime hit over morning coffee, always having something on the calendar, showing up for the big moments whether they're happy or devastating, and creating your own little rituals that make the friendship feel like home no matter the distance.This one is warm, funny, and honestly a little emotional. Aggie flew out here and she delivered.Follow Kelly on Instagram: @KellyRizzoA special thank you to Home Run Inn Pizza for sponsoring this episode.

The ritual was interrupted. Whatever beings the group carries the influence of, they decided to try and reach out during the Luminous Procession's alignment process. With such a drastic and dangerous disruption, the caravan leaders obviously want to talk. But they give everyone time to catch their breath. Which also gives them time to have a few conversations. Options are given, visions are drawn, and motives are uncovered. Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori consider the ramifications.

15. John Hardie explains Ukraine's innovative drone technology, including long-distance interceptors operated via Starlink. Drones cause approximately 80% of Russian casualties and protect pilots by moving them from the front lines. However, Ukraine still faces a severe manpower shortage that drones cannot fully resolve on their own. 151930 COUNCIL OF WORLD PARLIAMENTS
The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
Long distance relationships can be sweet and brutal at the same time. You miss each other, you overthink texts, you put way too much pressure on visits, and sometimes one weird phone call can throw off your whole week. If you've been trying to figure out how to make long distance work without losing your mind or your connection, this episode is for you. This week on the Love, Happiness, and Success podcast, I'm revisiting an earlier conversation with my colleague Brogan Crosby about what actually helps long distance couples stay strong. Brogan is a couples therapist at Growing Self, and her clinical work and master's research both focus on long distance relationships. Together, we talk about the real challenges couples run into, including disconnection, insecurity, pressure around time together, and the fear that physical distance might start turning into emotional distance. We also get into what helps. This is a practical conversation about how to stay connected in a long distance relationship, how to build emotional security across the miles, and how to use love languages creatively when you can't just reach for each other at the end of a hard day. From FaceTime and shared meals to letters, movie nights, and thoughtful gestures, this episode is full of grounded long distance relationship advice that can help your relationship feel stronger and more secure. Brogan also shares something that deserves more attention: long distance relationships can have real strengths too. Space can create room for personal growth, deeper appreciation, and more intentional connection. We also talk about what happens when the distance finally closes, because moving in together is its own transition. Even when love is solid, couples still need honest conversations about expectations, roles, and how to stay connected in a new season of the relationship.

In this episode, we sit down with ultrarunning legend Hal Koerner and Ian Sharman to go beyond the race results and into the stories hidden between the aid stations. Hal reflects on the gritty era of ultrarunning when gear was simpler, races were rougher, and success often came down to who could stay calm while everything else unraveled. The conversation explores their approach to downhill running, how they learned to descend with confidence, and why many runners sabotage themselves by braking too much and overthinking every step. Hal also shares memorable moments from decades in the sport, including hallucinations, race-day mistakes, lessons from other legends, and the strange, beautiful chaos that unfolds after enough miles in the mountains. Along the way, we discuss how the sport has changed, from shoes and nutrition to the growing popularity of ultrarunning, while Hal remains the same smiling, endlessly curious runner with the grin that somehow survives even mile 90. By the end, the episode feels less like an interview and more like sitting beside a campfire with one of the sport's great storytellers while the mountains glow quietly in the background.
