Send us a text Ever feel like dating is just one big, soul-sucking game where you're constantly bending over backward to be what they want—only to end up disappointed again? Turns out, the problem isn't your profile, your texts, or your date-night strategy—it's that you've been abandoning yourself in the process. In this episode, I sit down with dating coach Marie Thouin to break down mindful dating—a radically different approach that's all about showing up as your full, unfiltered self so you attract connections that actually fit. We dive into why mainstream dating advice sets you up for failure, how to use dating apps without losing your mind, and game-changing principles that will help you navigate love from a place of self-trust instead of desperation. If you're exhausted by modern dating, this conversation might just be the reset you need. You can find my spicy site here. https://talksexwithannette.com/talk-sex-with-me/My spicy OF handle is @talksexwithannetteMy free spicy handle is @annettetalkssexSubscribe to my e-newsletter: https://she-explores-life.ck.page/e9760c390cAsk a question, Leave a Comment: https://www.speakpipe.com/LockerRoomTalkPodcastMy substack: https://talksexwithannette.substack.com/Use code EXPLORES15 for 15% off all Womanizer Products at Womanizer.com.

We talk about compersion a lot (duh, it's awesome!!). But compersion is more than an emotion, and it's more than the opposite of jealousy. Luckily, Marie Thouin (one of our podcast BFFs) returns to PWF to discuss her new book, What Is Compersion?, which dives into the complexities of compersion as a value system that does not have to be restricted to romantic relationships. In fact, we all have benefitted greatly from expanding the way that we understand and practice compersion to our platonic and professional relationships!

We draw on our personal experiences, academic research, and insights from coaching hundreds of people in the non-monogamy community. In this episode, we talk about: — Why compersion is more than just an emotion — Compersion as a value vs. compersion as an escape — Compersion myths, including the misconception that it can eliminate jealousy entirely — The power of applying the concept of compersion to non-romantic relationships, and how that can be a huge opportunity for personal growth — Compersion vs. jealousy vs. envy — Addressing personal challenges in feeling compersion, particularly in friendships, and overcoming envy and competitiveness — Discussing practical ways to cultivate compersion in daily life and relationships — Why compersion doesn't mean the absence of jealousy, as emotions are fluid and contextual — Integrating academic research, coaching, and personal experience to better understand and teach compersion Resources mentioned in this episode: — Marie Thouin's new book "What is Compersion" is available for pre-order! — Check out Marie's website whatiscompersion.com for information about her research, blogs, and a list of resources on compersion — Follow Marie's Instagram account @loveinsightdating — Book a FREE 30-minute introductory coaching call with Marie Join the global Week of Visibility for Non-monogamy – July 15-21.

They are a butch, gender-queer AFAB, kinky pervert. As such, they love going to sex parties. Their boyfriend meanwhile, is straight, vanilla and family oriented. Their relationship is open, and he's found a lass he wants to bone down with. But the caller doesn't want him to! It's a complicated situation, and Dan is here to help.  Next up, Dan chats with a caller whose new dom demands that she shave off all her body hair for an erotic “inspection.” But she's a feminist and has issues with this request. Should she do it? Did she do it? Hear their convo and find out.  On the Magnum, have you heard of “compersion?” Our spell check program sure hasn't! It comes to us straight from poly-land. It's “the positive emotion one feels when one sees their partner with another person.” Our guest this week is Dr. Marie Thouin, an expert on the concept. She and Dan discuss how compersion and jealousy can coexist, how it differs from cuckolding, and how long until San Fransisco is one giant polycule? Finally, a woman is in the 3rd trimester of her pregnancy and the sex is getting weird. What changes can they make to improve their sex life? Oh honey.

Welcome to True Love Knots! Today, Maria is joined by Marie Thouin. She is a mindful dating & relationship coaching practice where she helps people of all ages, genders, sexual and relationship orientations navigate the path to intimate love in a growth mindset. She is also the Founder of Love InSight. She is going to talk about how to navigate in modern dating and build a healthy relationship. Standout Quotes: What people have in common is a thirst for growth. People I work with are people who want to use the dating experience as a way to fuel their journey of personal growth. Rejection hurts. But we can see it as something that just opens the door for the right person to come in. If there's not a compatibility with another person, it's not meant to be. So to be able to express that very clearly with kindness with heart, we can then free the other person to find a person that they're meant to be with. On the communication side, you can't be very surreptitious about it. You have to be open. When you're open, it allows you to feel less pressure. Key Takeaways: Dating is not easy. There's going to be a lot of situations that will trigger some pain and there's a lot of confusion that can come in. So for Marie, she really dives into unwinding those pain points and going deeper into who you are. When receiving a rejection, self-care comes in as something that's super important because we have to address the fact that sometimes rejection can impact our nervous system, and be in a place where we take care of ourselves well. And we can make sure that we do things that give us pleasure, and put our nervous system in a state of receptivity and goodness and comfort as much as possible. This will alleviate the hurt and the impact of the experience. When you're open and honest, you're both able to go work your way through. If you have a partner that isn't, that's where you're going to struggle. So being open and transparent is the key thing.

SHOW NOTES https://youtu.be/UA3PRe_mOl0 (https://youtu.be/UA3PRe_mOl0) Dr. Marie Thouin is the Founder of Love InSight, a mindful dating & relationship coaching practice where she helps people of all ages, genders, and sexual orientations navigate the path to intimate love in a personal growth mindset. After years of being bullied in her childhood, Marie gave up on romantic love and friendship for many years. However, after a deep spiritual journey of finding herself, she made the decision to create & share love from her end, no matter what. She went on a mission to shift her pattern of isolation, to go make friends and build meaningful intimate relationships. Dating (including online dating) was a meaningful part of that process. Dating & relationships are often a huge pain point for people because of the fear of rejection and heartbreak, and since she has so much experience with those emotions, she wants to support others on their journey of finding love within themselves and towards others no matter what the external circumstances are.  Social Media:  Facebook (personal): https://www.facebook.com/marie.thouin.7 Facebook: @loveinsightdating Instagram: @love_insight_dating LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marie-thouin-phd-148047ba/ Free Offerings:  30-min free exploratory coaching session:  https://www.loveinsight-dating.com/schedule Host:  Carine Camara  website: http://carinecamara.com/ (carinecamara.com)  instagram: http://instagram.com/carinejcamara (instagram.com/carinejcamara)  facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carinehealing (https://www.facebook.com/carinehealing)  Music Credits: Laughing Matters- https://laughingmusic.com (https://laughingmusic.com)

Dr. Marie Thouin joins Tristan Taormino to talk about her research on compersion in non-monogamous relationships. She defines compersion as “our wholehearted participation in the happiness of others. It is the sympathetic joy we feel for somebody else, even when their positive experience does not involve or benefit us directly. Thus, compersion can be thought of as the opposite of jealousy and possessiveness.” They discuss compersion as a feeling, a practice, and a goal and some practical ways to access it. Dr. Thouin holds a PhD from the California Institute of Integral Studies.⁠ She is the founder of Love InSight, a mindful dating and relationship coaching practice where she supports growth-minded people of all backgrounds and relationship styles to foster soulful, intentional love.

Los sentimientos en relaciones poliamorosas pueden ser muy complicados. En el episodio 4 hablamos acerca de los celos y de cómo deconstruir ese conglomerado de sentimientos es un ejercicio imprescindible para mantener una relación duradera y sobre todo sana, no solo con todas tus parejas, sino también contigo misma. Por eso en este episodio hemos querido hablar más acerca de un sentimiento que muchas veces ha sido descrito como el opuesto a los celos… LA COMPERSIÓN. “Compersión” es el término que se utiliza para describir ese sentimiento de felicidad que te invade cuando una persona a la que quieres experimenta felicidad. Que nuestra pareja tenga una nueva relación nos da la oportunidad de crecer más como personas y como pareja, y también de entendernos mejor. Muchas veces ocurre que cuando nuestra pareja empieza una relación nueva, ver su felicidad y toda esa nueva energía (ENR - Energía de la Nueva Relación) saca a relucir nuestras inseguridades y celos, pero esa misma experiencia también nos da la oportunidad de experimentar felicidad y compersión.Para este episodio hemos utilizado los siguientes recursos:- Libro Opening Up de Tristan Taormino. - Episodio de Multiamory sobre la compersión con Marie Thouin.  - Investigación de Marie Thouin sobre la compersión. --------NUEVA sección de recursos en nuestra web: https://www.poliamordesobremesa.com/recursos/Si quieres saber más aquí te dejamos:Nuestra página web: poliamordesobremesa.comInstagram @poliamordesobremesa.Twitter @polidesobremesa.Agradecimientos Roberto Mario por la música.Transcripción del episodio en nuestra web y en YouTube.
