Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz sit down with Zach and Sally Maxwell, relationship thought leaders, executive coaches, and co-founders of The Art of Conscious Love, for a conversation that will change how you think about romance. Together since they were 18, the Maxwells have built a modern relationship framework around a radical premise: love is not something you fall into. It's something you practice. They walk through their eight-pillar approach to conscious relationships covering personal accountability, inner narratives, transparency, desire, conflict resolution, and the art of consciously designing your own monogamy. A masterclass in what it actually takes to make love last. https://www.max-wellcoaching.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/sally-swallow-maxwell/ sally@max-wellcoaching.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John talks about the Department of Justice opening a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, claiming she perjured herself in her two civil trial victories against Donald Trump, the adjudicated rapist. He also discusses the stupidity of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin proposing withdrawing Customs and Border Protection officers from sanctuary city airports, and greatly impacting air travel to punish woke cities. Then, John interviews Jason G. Green who is the author of "Too Precious to Lose", a memoir which blends family history, civic life, and historical research to explore how communities endure. And, he jokes with standup comedian, writer, and podcast host Ophira Eisenberg. She's been headlining theaters and comedy venues across the world, has toured regularly with the Moth Mainstage, and she hosts the weekly parenting-comedy podcast Parenting is a Joke. She also hosted NPR's trivia comedy show Ask Me Another for 9 years. Her breakout memoir Screw Everyone: Sleeping My Way to Monogamy has been optioned for a television series. They talk about her new standup special “I USED TO BE NICER”.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain the neuroscience of grief, including how the brain maps relationships across three dimensions — space, time, and closeness — and why losing someone requires a remapping of those neural circuits. I describe how grief differs from depression, the role of oxytocin in driving yearning after a loss, and why people move through grief at different rates. I also discuss science-based tools for grieving adaptively, including how to access feelings of attachment while decoupling them from episodic memory. Finally, I explain how foundational biology — particularly sleep and cortisol rhythms — shapes our capacity to navigate the grieving process. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Distance doesn't just test love—it tests trust, loyalty, and emotional resilience. When you can't rely on physical closeness, commitment takes on a different meaning. This episode explores whether it's fair—or even realistic—to expect strict monogamy when two people live apart, and what really holds long-distance relationships together. Inside This Episode:

James Sexton joins the show for a powerful conversation on the raw truth behind human relationships, personal transformation, and the evolution of consciousness. For decades, James has been one of the world's most sought-after divorce attorneys, navigating the most intimate and fractured dynamics of love. In this episode, he steps away from traditional marriage advice to explore a side of his life he has never publicly shared: the profound impact that psychedelics, specifically LSD and psilocybin, have had on his spirituality, worldview, and healing. Sexton breaks down how realizing the finitude of love and life can completely reframe our priorities, shifting our focus away from trivial conflicts and toward deep connection. He also dives into the root causes of relationship breakdowns, the illusion of outer appearance versus inner strength, and the myth of emotional closure. Watch until the end to understand how facing our darkest moments and dismantling the ego allows us to cultivate authentic intimacy and build meaningful relationships before time runs out.

Michael plays devil's advocate and argues that human societies naturally refine their values over time. Monogamy works better. Less crime is good. These truths emerge through trial and error. Matt pushes back hard. Without truth and love as a fixed reference point, he argues, the word "better" loses all meaning. What looks like natural progress is actually borrowed capital from a civilization built on Judeo-Christian values. They explore Canada's assisted suicide program, the sterilization of young people through the transgender movement, and Nietzsche's warning that removing God does not just remove religion. It unmoors everything. This one goes deep. It is about what happens when a culture forgets where its values came from. And why substituting anything for God makes your world smaller. Cheers y'all

Detectives Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler search for a baby who was ripped out of her pregnant mother's body. The detectives learn Nichol Manning was having an affair and suspect the man who may be the actual father. But the alibi of Nichol's husband isn't adding up. Dr. George Huang says Richard Manning (played by John Ritter) is an arrogant neat freak who didn't want another man's baby ruining his life. Though the infant is later found dead, ADA Alexandra Cabot says they have to prove the child took one breath to make a murder charge stick. During a devastating cross-examination, Manning gives them the proof they need: he says the baby cried before he killed it.  We're talking about Special Victims Unit season 3 episode 11 "Monogamy." Our guest from our October 24, 2018 episode is Rebecca's best friend, Molly McKean, Esq.  The ripped from the headlines story is the murder of expectant mother Bobbie Jo Stinnett.   New episodes of These Are Their Stories will return July 8!

Danielle 1. On adults needing honesty before they can guide young people “But then that comes back to us and being able to honestly talk about our own experiences as kids and be far more honest about what that experience was. Be far more honest about the spectrums we probably all lie along or the ways we've felt confused or the way we've worked through maybe even contradictions in our own selves that don't feel like they fit and what tools have we used that are helpful, what tools have not worked for us… I think it's a new way of differentiating from us as parents to be able to explore something different.” 2. On colonization, sex, caste, and racial hierarchy in Mexican history “One thing I know about my history and a part of the complex and layered part of Mexican history is that when colonizers came over, the Spanish particularly, they would then send for their families or their wives, but they would also, part of the strategy along with the Catholicism and the Christianity that was brought, was having babies with Africans that were enslaved… part of the colonial atmosphere was to essentially make classes of people based on race. And so you have a Christian monogamous colonizer with this sent-for family also having… either Indigenous folks or Africans that have been enslaved… That was intentionally done through sex under the guise of monogamy.” 3. On anger, violence, and the body “We know how arousing anger is and regardless of your sexual orientation, in our bodies anger is so arousing… as they put certain categories of people into unacceptable other categories, they're literally arousing themselves… essentially getting off on the violent talk is what I think and feel… using the content of the United States and our military as a form of doing that just feels so deeply violating.” Rebecca 1. On sexuality and gender as communal, not only individual “Sometimes we can think about this conversation about sex and sexuality and gender and all of that as this sort of individual choice or this individual expression. But I think there's something to be learned from the idea that it can be very communal and very collective and in that way have communal and collective impact. And I think sometimes we don't take that into account in very real ways.” 2. On young people needing a bigger frame “I definitely have the experience with my two kids of just a general sentiment like the frame that you gave me is not big enough to hold all of the things that my world requires me to hold. It's not. I need a different frame. I need a bigger frame. I need some flexibility in the framing in order to engage the world that is in front of me… Sometimes I think the best thing that we can do as adults in that space is say okay and be willing to knock down some walls and get rid of some steel and put something flexible in that space so they can breathe a little bit and figure it out.” 3. On not confusing authentic monogamy with colonial violence “Does that invalidate monogamy? And my answer would be no, it doesn't… if you're running around intentionally creating babies with the Indigenous people that were there in the place where you have come to conquer, don't call yourself believing in monogamy because that's a boldfaced lie… Christian nationalism is not Christianity, it's something else. And part of what is infuriating to me is the hijacking of an idea or vocabulary or belief that in and of itself is fine and it gets hijacked and applied to something that is a gross perversion of what it was meant to be.” Jenny 1. On purity culture, abstinence-only education, and labels “So much of that… is a symptom of purity culture and the fact that we don't talk about sex. The abstinence-only generations since the '80s were we don't talk about sex. And it was sort of Nancy Reagan's idea of just say no was applied to sex. And so consent was not talked about. Sexuality was not talked about. Gender expression was not talked about. And it's not that those things didn't exist… The queer community has always been around.” 2. On labels as both liberating and limiting “Raphaela Fieo from Healing Exchange says labels can be liberating or they can be limiting. And I think it's important to hold both. For some people, labels are really, really important and for some people labels are like, I don't actually want you to try to define me or put me in a box.” 3. On settler sex and Christian nationalism “What would have to happen is the reckoning of white heteronormative Christian nationalism… Kim TallBear is an Indigenous polyamorous scholar who has this article called Making Love and Relations Beyond Settler Sex… they essentially critique a lot of the white sex-positive communities that don't acknowledge the privilege in white polyamory or sex-positive practices when it literally was gender and racial and familial relations often that were used to Christianize Indigenous communities across the globe.” 4. On monogamy, normativity, and honoring difference “Monogamy could be part of that expression and all of these other things also are part of that expression… getting out of this normative thinking of like, if this is the way I do it, this is the way everyone should do it. And rather, okay, this is the way that resonates with me. So if I stay with what feels like the truest expression of my relationship and sexuality now, can that also give me more capacity to honor the ways in which other people are living into theirs, even if it's vastly different than mine?”   Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.

Welcome to the bed hoppers podcast. In this episode we interview filmmakers Dillon and Urvashi, who discuss their documentary ‘More Than Monogamy'.

From “relationship mediation” to monogamy hangovers, this conversation gets into the messy, fascinating space between perception and reality... and how to come back to truth without losing connection.If you've ever thought “they never understand me” or “maybe I'm the problem,” this one is going to land.

Supreme Court Case on Religious Liberty: Sean and Scott discuss a new case involving Catholic preschools in Colorado that were denied public funding for refusing to enroll children from LGBTQ families. The debate centers on whether the state can mandate non-discrimination policies for faith-based organizations receiving public funds.The Ethics of Monogamy and Infidelity: Despite a near-unanimous American disapproval of infidelity, the hosts analyze a recent article questioning if it is time to move beyond traditional monogamy. They explore the rise of "consensual non-monogamy" and how individualistic cultural tendencies are shifting moral perspectives on relationships.Developing Virtuous AI Models: The team examines an article discussing a new AI model from Anthropic that incorporates religious and philosophical principles to create a "virtuous" chatbot. They question the effectiveness of using technology to simulate wisdom and the theological implications of "religious" machines.Policy Shifts on Psychedelics: A discussion regarding an executive order loosening restrictions on psychedelics explores the potential medical benefits and moral risks of these substances. The hosts weigh the clinical applications of such drugs against the biblical call for sobriety and sound-mindedness.Audience Question: AI Actors and Necromancy: In response to an audience question on using AI to represent deceased actors, the hosts discuss whether this technology crosses a line into digital necromancy. They explore the ethical boundaries of interacting with simulations of the dead versus using them as creative tools.Audience Question: AI as Tools vs. Beings: The team addresses whether AI models should be viewed strictly as machines or if treating them like social beings compromises our understanding of personhood. They emphasize maintaining a clear distinction between human "Imago Dei" and man-made technology.Audience Question: AI in Job Interviews: Responding to employers who use AI to conduct job interviews, Scott and Sean discuss concerns about algorithmic bias and the loss of human connection. They argue that the hiring process should recognize the dignity of individuals rather than reducing them to data points.==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.   Find all episodes of Think Biblically at: https://www.biola.edu/think-biblically.   To submit comments, ask questions, or make suggestions on issues you'd like us to cover or guests you'd like us to have on the podcast, email us at thinkbiblically@biola.edu.

The sexual revolution didn't happen all at once, it came in throbbing waves: the Pill. Stonewall. The AIDS crisis. The Internet. Grindr. PrEP. Doxy PEP. Sniffies! We have more options than ever before and yet some still feel lonely. Swipe culture gives us abundance, but it also trains us to treat each other like custom coffee drinks. How do we build intimacy without running a background check on somebody?And why does jealousy still show up like it is paying the rent?Today, queer activist and marriage and family therapist Damon L. Jacobs joins us to unpack the great queer divide: monogamy vs. open relationships.His web series Choosing Queer Joy argues that joy isn't frivolous, it's revolutionary. But when we start talking about sex, love, and commitment the revolution can get real messy, real fast.FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM:★ instagram.com/faustofernos★ instagram.com/marcfelion★ instagram.com/damonljacobs

In this video, John and Jackie from OpenLove101.com respond to a comment on a Daily Mail article that claims people who want sexual freedom shouldn't get married. They challenge that belief by redefining what commitment, love, and marriage can look like—especially in the context of swinging and open relationships. Drawing from personal experience, they explore how mutual consent, open communication, and individual freedom are essential to building a healthy relationship—regardless of whether it follows traditional norms. Their message? Love doesn't have to equal exclusivity. Every couple should define their relationship on their own terms.

WILD MONOGAMY! Live! your life… with MALI and JOE WILD MONOGAMY To understand the concept of “Wild Monogamy,” one must first look at the traditional framework of the relationship. Monogamy is most commonly defined as a form of relationship where an individual has only one partner at a time, often characterized by emotional and sexual exclusivity. While this is the bedrock for many couples, the routine of long-term partnership can sometimes lead to a “tame” or predictable dynamic. This is exactly where guests Mali and Joe, featured on The Open Nesters podcast, suggest we start shaking things up to rediscover the electricity of the early days. We explore the idea that staying committed to one person doesn't have to mean sacrificing passion or adventure. Mali and Joe, authors of The Soulmate Experience, share their journey of nearly two decades, proving that erotic connection can actually intensify over time. Their philosophy centers on the idea that monogamy isn’t a restrictive cage, but rather a safe container within which partners can be as “wild” and expressive as they choose to be. One of the most moving stories shared in the episode involves the struggle with aging bodies—a common hurdle for “open nesters” over 60. Mali describes the vulnerability of dealing with a sagging or changing physique, only for her partner Joe to respond by photographing her from every angle. By seeing her body through his eyes—as a work of art, wet and dry, inside and out—she was able to shed her insecurities. This “wild” act of radical acceptance is a core pillar of their message: intimacy thrives when we stop hiding and start showing up fully. The episode explains that “Wild Monogamy” is about cultivating erotic intimacy to keep desire alive without necessarily looking outside the relationship. It's the “monogamous” version of a play party—where you might go to a spicy event but choose to only play with your partner. By bringing that level of intentionality, fantasy, and novelty back into the bedroom, couples can bypass the boredom that often plagues long-term unions. Mali and Joe emphasize that this doesn’t happen by accident. It requires a continuous conversation about love, sex, and connection. They've dedicated their lives to coaching couples on how to move past the jealousy, inhibition, and shame that often tangle up our sexuality. For them, “wildness” is a practice of being present and adventurous within the safety of your primary bond, ensuring that the “magical feeling” of dating never truly ends. For those in the “Act III” of their lives—the empty nesters—this message is particularly resonant. Tessa and Amir highlight that this stage of life is an opportunity for a “new nesting” experience. It's a time to ask what you need to open up in your life, your body, and your spirit. Whether it's through body movement, sensory exploration, or deepening your erotic connection, the goal is to live with an open heart and a sense of play. Ultimately, “Wild Monogamy” serves as a reminder that your primary relationship can be the greatest adventure of your life. By choosing to be “wild” with one another, couples can transform a decades-old partnership into a vibrant, ever-evolving romance. If you're looking to reignite that spark and move beyond the “empty” in empty nesting, this episode offers a roadmap for keeping the fire burning bright through every season of life.

Zach sits down with Courtney and Nathan Boyer, a couple married for over twenty years, parenting three kids, and living overseas on a U.S. military base in Germany. Courtney and Nathan share the story of a major turning point in their marriage—when Courtney asked to open the relationship after years of suppressing her needs, identity, and desire. Raised in a strict religious culture, Courtney explains how she spent much of her marriage prioritizing her husband's career and her role as a mother, slowly becoming resentful and disconnected from herself. Nathan, a military physician, reflects on how his drive for achievement and constant “next step” mindset left him unaware of how much was being lost along the way. The couple walks through the six-month conversation that followed Courtney's request—marked by resistance, fear, patience, and an honest willingness to walk away if they couldn't find a way forward together. Nathan shares what it was like to realize he is deeply monogamous at his core, while Courtney names polyamory as an essential part of her identity rather than a lifestyle choice. They also talk candidly about shame, public backlash, parenting through non-traditional choices, and the surprising ways opening the relationship strengthened their emotional and sexual connection. Throughout the conversation, Zach highlights the importance of long-form conversations, adult responsibility, and the courage it takes to renegotiate a marriage rather than quietly disappear inside it. This episode is a nuanced, human look at love, consent, identity, and what it means to grow without abandoning one another. Key Takeaways Long-term marriages go through distinct cycles tied to life stages, not just emotions Suppressing needs often leads to resentment, not stability Identity shifts don't happen overnight—they require long conversations Consent includes the real option to walk away Monogamy and polyamory can coexist in one marriage with clarity and care Erotic energy and trust can grow through expansion, not just exclusivity Adult relationships require ongoing renegotiation, not silent endurance Guest Info Courtney Boyer Relationship coach, author, and creator behind The Monopoly Couple. Courtney writes and speaks about identity, desire, religious conditioning, and non-traditional relationships.
