Episode 091:The Metamorphosis of Intimate Relationships For New and Seasoned Parents with Markella KaplaniHave you ever wondered how the rollercoaster of parenthood can redefine who we are and the fabric of our closest relationships? In a heart-to-heart with the Parenting and Relationship Counselor, Markella Kaplani, we peel back the layers of emotions and psychological adjustments that come with the passage into parenthood. Markella, with her dual expertise in couples counseling and child psychology, offers profound insights into the transformation known as 'matrescence' and its ripple effects within the family unit. Parenting is no small feat, and this episode brings to light the stark contrast between societal narratives and the real, lived experiences of new parents. From identity loss to the myth of maternal fulfillment, we tackle the hard truths about the expectations placed on parents and the need for authentic support systems. Communication, a cornerstone of any healthy relationship, comes under the microscope as we dissect the challenges faced by parenting partners. We confront the shame and guilt that can plague mothers, preventing them from seeking much-needed help, and the emotional disconnect fathers might experience without shared parenting moments. The conversation culminates with strategies to foster effective communication and understanding between partners, how narrationo can transform conflict into connection.

In this episode, your host, Leandra Costa, talks with Relationships Done Different Facilitator Rudrani Devi about being a caring caregiver. Rudrani has never had to fill the typical maternal or caregiving role, but after her mother moved in with her during Covid, she found her world was turned upside down. After going through a period of exhaustion, resentment and weight-gain, she began to facilitate herself and created the space she needed to care for both herself, and her mother. Key points from this episode's conversation Becoming a Relationships Done Different Facilitator Caregiving Done Different Coming into Allowance In allowance of you or of them? Setting Boundaries Breathing Through It Ask For Help Becoming a Relationships Done Different Facilitator In 2019, although Brendon and Simone had been doing Relationship Done Different classes, there was no such thing as an Access Certified Facilitator for Relationships Done Different yet. Rudrani really wanted them to create it, especially after reading the book ‘Relationships: are you sure you want one?' She recognised that the tools were amazing and that they could create so much in the world, and she was a big believer that you teach what you most want to learn. So, what did she do? She snuck in as a host for a few of Simone and Brendan's classes, and became a Certified Facilitator the very first time it was offered. Her life changed immensely by facilitating the classes, as did her facilitation in her role as a Relationship Counselor. She was able to marry her two roles - as a Certified Facilitator and as a Relationship Counselor - with her clients. For example, a participant in one of her Relationships Done Different classes was going through a divorce. After attending the class, the woman decided that instead of going through with the divorce, she and her husband would simply live apart, in their own homes, and date each other again. This arrangement may seem strange, but the relationship is still going strong today! Caregiving Done Different Rudrani is the caregiver for her mother, which is a complete role reversal of the mother-daughter relationship for them. Rudrani has never had her own children (although she prides herself on being the favorite aunt!), and has never had to fill a typical care-giving role. However, there came a point where her mother was no longer able to care for her home herself, and they began to discuss the possibility of her moving in. Rudrani thought it would be simple and fun as her mother was a go-getter and independent. So independent, in fact, that even after Rudrani renovated her home and created a private section for her mother, it took Covid hitting to convince her to finally move in. At that time, Rudrani was in the middle of hosting a Certified Facilitator Relationships Done Different class online, which involved being up the whole night (as Simone and Brendan were in Australia). She found classes at these times manageable when she was alone, but with her mother around, she struggled. Her mom moved in, got Covid, and Rudrani had to look after her. She was EXHAUSTED. She wasn't in Allowance of anything, and she felt her life was suffering because of her mom. She felt she was being a bad daughter, and she put on weight (and blamed her mom for it!). Eventually, she recognized that she had to start facilitating herself and asking what she needed to be in that situation. Coming into Allowance Rudrani had to come into Allowance of how much her mom loves her trauma drama. For example, her mom is a piano teacher and when she was teaching, she would demand all sorts of programs and posters that take time away from Rudrani's work. Instead of going into resentment and stress over these demands, Rudrani took a step back and decided that it was okay. She also looked at the 5 Elements of Intimacy, which are the basis of Relationships Done Different and every class she facilitates. It's amazing what melts others' and her own world, every time they go through those 5 elements. In allowance of you or of them? Rudrani had to be reminded of how much space she is for her mother. She had to acknowledge that she is that space, and even just acknowledging that was such an honor for her. She also has to ask herself whether she was that space for herself, as so often when people are looking after their parents, they lose themselves. She chose to be that space for herself. For example, she recently did a 3-month challenge after realizing her body really loved form and structure. She was weighing her food and working out, and this was taking time away from her mother. Her mom would demand attention but Rudrani recognized she needed to be that space for herself and would prioritize her diet. In 3 months she lost all the weight, and it was an Honoring of herself and being in Allowance of her requiring to take care of herself. She didn't make herself wrong for prioritizing herself. Setting Boundaries Rudrani's mom wants to feel significant in her world, so she gives her tasks to include her. It could be a really simple task like getting her to cook pasta sauce for a dinner party, but it gives her that feeling of being useful. Rudrani also made it clear that her mother would want for nothing, but she would have to give her space at times too. She still needed to go out with her friends and facilitate classes, and she couldn't invite her mom to everything. She had to set a boundary and initially it was hard for her mom to receive that. Her mom is busy, and teaches almost every night, so she's a busy lady! When she's facilitating piano lessons, she's amazing. But when she walks out of teaching, she immediately goes to the ‘take care of me' space, which Rudrani accepts. Luckily, Rudrani and her mother really care about each other, which is that allowance and that vulnerability and being willing to set boundaries when it's necessary. Breathing Through It Breathing really comes in handy. One weekend,her mom had a fall. When Rudrani found her, she had to stop, lower the walls and barriers, fill the eight corners of the garage, and breathe. This probably only took a few seconds, but she needed that before she could be that space for her mother again. Fortunately, the fall was nothing serious, but taking that moment to become still and take a breath when there is chaos was a game changer. She has to do that a lot with her mom! Ask For Help Something else that creates more space for caregivers is being in allowance of having siblings - or anyone else that could help - help in any way that they see fit, even if you don't agree with it. Rudrani's older brother helps out whenever she is too busy to look after her mom, and it works out great! Her brother feels useful, her mom gets to hang out with her son, and Rudrani gets the space to honor herself and her choices. As a caregiver, there's a lot of allowance, being present with your body, being kind to you and being willing to ask for help. Be willing! Don't be so righteous about things that you insist everything must be done your way and you don't ask for help. If you're choosing to create something different in our world, whether it's in your relationship or how you live your life, thank you! Your choosing greater allows us all to choose greater.

In Episode 9 my guest and I discuss the topic "Maintaining Healthy Relationships". Below are the highlights of our discussion
IN THIS EPISODE, we share our conversation with war veteran now therapist, Mark Cunningham. Mark sheds some light on what it is like having witnessed battle and what he learned from it that now informs some of his work with patients as he develops his couples counseling practice. He explains what a soul wound is. And he reveals what his secret wish would be if he happened across a magical genie in a bottle, and you might be terribly surprised to find out what it is! We were honored to interview Mark Cunningham, a couples counselor & sex therapist with specialization in healing trauma, helping other veterans through it, and guiding individuals and couples through the often difficult task of piecing together their lives after painful events occurred. The interview proved to be a rare look into a therapist's own process within their practice, less shop-talk and more personal insight. As such, it became less a conversation about relationship techniques, and more of a glimpse into what happens in the mind of the counselor or therapist themselves. We also touched upon Mark's history of military service, and in what ways his personal story impacts his work, both in relationship counseling and personal counseling for vets dealing with trauma. He shares some techniques he learned along the way, such as contact statements and emotional focusing, which help his clients get in touch with the store of emotions trapped within their physical bodies. He describes his upbringing, and how it affected his vision of sexuality & love. And he even shares what happened when his mom discovered his porn stash. And he discloses how that search for his sexual/romantic identity led him though some questionable avenues before finding the right path for himself.

E21 Intentional Living: Why People Ghost + Letting Go! with atlas amari At the end of Episode 20, I asked you to consider a quote about why people ghost. Here is that quote from Samantha Burns, who is known as The Millennial Love Expert. She is a Relationship Counselor, Dating Coach and author of the free eBook: 10 Tips for Successful Love. In her article, “What You're Really Saying When You Ghost Someone,” appearing on The Good Men Project website, she writes: “Though daters claim they [ghost] to avoid hurting someone's feelings, ... We do it because it makes us feel less awkward and uncomfortable—it's really not about taking the other person's feelings into account at all.” In today's episode: Part 4 of Our Relationships Series: Why People Ghost + Letting Go!, we'll explore the top reasons why people ghost, the 3 personality traits that make some people more prone to ghosting, how you might feel if you're ghosted and what to do next. Hi! I hope you've had a joyful week! Welcome back to the Live Curious Die Wild Podcast, I'm your host, atlas amari. Every Saturday we discuss a topic related to intentional living, in order to help you stop cruising on autopilot and start taking the wheel. You deserve to fiercely and joyfully live your dreams with courage, self-confidence, and an abundance mindset. Now, it's time to grab a cup of coffee, matcha, tea, or lemon water, and let's go!

Are you aware of your attachment style in relationships? Do you know what activates you into feeling insecure in a relationship? Knowing your attachment style will be hugely beneficial in understanding how you relate to other people. In this episode we consider whether your mindset is determined by your attachment style. We ask whether an insecure attachment style is more likely to lead to a fixed mindset and conversely whether a growth mindset can contribute to changing your attachment style. We briefly discuss the four attachment styles and how they manifest in relationships: secure, anxious-preoccupied, avoidant-dismissive and fearful-disorganised. Neither attachment styles nor mindsets are set in stone - a growth mindset can contribute to developing security in relationships.
Do you believe in the idea that love is either there or it isn't? Do you think that your partner is either meant to be for you or not? Do you worry that a partner who is not always as perfect as you want them to be may not be the right partner for you? In today's episode we discuss how your mindset influences your thinking about relationships and dating. The notion of mindsets was developed by Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck (2006). She suggested that people can take up two extreme positions in life: they either have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. If you have a fixed mindset you believe that your own qualities or that of others cannot change; if you have a growth mindset you strongly believe in stretching yourself through learning and trying. Your mindset will determine your attitude to all aspects of life including your thinking about relationships.

Understanding the structure of your brain helps you and your partner to understand what happens when you are in a state of high emotional expression, e.g. when angry or feeling under attack. We briefly discuss the three main regions of the brain: the brainstem, the limbic area and the cortex by using Daniel Siegel's highly visual hand model of the brain. When we feel threatened we react - that's the way our brain works. Being reactive and mobilising for fight, flight or freeze responses means we are in survival mode. In this mode we are reactive rather than receptive to our partner. In order to be open to others we need to be able to employ the thinking part of our brain, the cortex which enables us to reflect, think and connect with others. We discuss how to be able to switch from a highly reactive survival response to having the capacity again for social engagement: listening, understanding why we responded the way we did and being able to generate understanding for the other person.
Do you frequently feel that you are the only person around who is constantly giving? Do you struggle with actually taking in compliments when they are given to you? Or do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed when there is too much attention coming your way? In today's episode we discuss the importance of giving and and receiving love in a balanced way. We look at the complexities around giving: often the need to constantly give can be driven by an underlying issue with low self worth or a number of anxieties. Often there is also a correlation between giving a lot and not being able to fully receive other people's attention and care. Conversely, you may find yourself struggling with giving your partner or other people close to you the attention that they desire from you. You may also find too much attention overwhelming.
How self aware are you? Do you know what makes you tick? Self awareness is key to building successful relationships: it helps you to distinguish between yourself and others, to understand why you might have certain perspectives and beliefs and most importantly it is the springboard to making changes in your life if necessary. In today's episodes we explore why knowing yourself is so important and how you might go about getting yourself a little better. We offer some suggestions that can get you started on your journey to self awareness and self knowledge.

In this episode, Matt, Steve, and Jessica will dive into the night of their wedding and what Steve did. Steve will start off by hilariously talking about how that day was “a great milestone” in his life because he had just given away his ex-wife. He left the wedding feeling like a huge burden had been lifted from him and the feeling was actually similar to what he felt the day he rode his bike away from Jessica after they had officially ended things. After that he had to redo his apartment with a friend of his because it had too much of Jessica’s taste in stuff, and that whole process was very therapeutic for him.The three will discuss how reality hit Matt hard on their second night of marriage because he realized that he was in an almost similar situation to that of his first marriage where in the beginning being married to Ann was so much of a burden for him because he had found himself providing for a new wife (who was not so good with finances) and a baby on the way without even getting to have a honeymoon phase in their relationship. Steve understood what that dilemma was like for Matt, and was afraid that his marriage to Jessica was somewhat similar in that regard, because with Jessica, he also found himself with the same kind of responsibilities, if not more.Matt and Jessica will then share what their honeymoon was like and all the amazing places they visited before getting back home to real life, and how they went on to have a rough first few years.

In this episode, Matt, Steve, and Jessica will welcome Jimmy Rex to talk about his experience with leaving the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A lot of people have been reaching out to them with questions about navigating their relationship with the LDS church, and they have all had a lot of interest in that, and the beliefs people have within the church. Jimmy has a great perspective of being in and outside of the church, and the importance of an individual bringing good into the world above everything else. He acknowledges that it's more important to be a good person, and to love the people around us than to affiliate with a specific religious group. Jimmy grew up in a family that was very active in the LDS church and he went on missions, and did all the things that are expected of a Mormon child, but by his 20s he would be super conflicted because the kind of lifestyle he desired was not in line with the doctrines of the church. He would have a hard time in almost every aspect of his life, especially dating. He was a devout Mormon and followed all of the church’s beliefs, but by age 32 he had had enough of subscribing to doctrines that he didn’t agree with, so he started studying everything he could find on the church, and that enlightened him in a huge way.He started looking for spirituality in other ways and studying other religions which led him to a level of spirituality that was so much greater than what he had ever had when he was in the church. Jimmy is now happier, more fulfilled, and he gets to love himself in a different way. He doesn’t worry about what the rules and regulations (doctrines) are anymore, and gets to just focus on who he is, and even more so, other people. That has enabled him to build greater relationships with the people around him and to be more impactful in society. Stay tuned for more of his amazing story and the life changing insights he has to share.Highlights of the Discussion: How his religious beliefs started conflicting with what he felt was right (01:56)Looking for spirituality in other ways and getting more than he was getting in church (06:34)Figuring out that his whole life needed to be about love (09:02)The contribution having a mission statement for his life made (15:58)Having better connections and relationships even with his family who are still active in the LDS church (19:11)Overcoming blind obedience through questioning everything that doesn’t make sense (21:36)Sharing pure love and helping other people get happiness and live extraordinary lives (26:15)His awesome podcast and the positive impact it’s making in society (29:25)The Coronavirus and how it’s a way for the universe to heal itself (31:45)Retraining our minds for gratitude through paying attention to where certain gifts are (33:51)Additional Resources:The Jimmy Rex Showwww.Linktr.ee/TheBoldLogic--Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook!--You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.If you haven’t already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!
In this episode, Matt, Steve, and Jessica will talk all about the week before Matt and Jessica got married. Jessica will talk about how empowering her bachelorette party was because of all the awesome things she got to experience like learning how to pole dance and lap dance. Matt on the other hand doesn’t remember much of his bachelor party except that they went long-boarding, because he had to go to Ann’s house after she called him and asked him to go pick up their kids because her husband had physically abused her.He considered calling the police on the man but the man’s mum was present at the scene and she requested him not to because it would destroy his future. Matt had to take his kids away from that scenario, and he took them to stay with Jessica, which was the first time she had all three kids with her. That experience gave their marriage a little bit of a weird start because it affected Matt so much.On the day of the wedding, Jessica recalls that Matt’s daughter Sarah came up to their house to get ready with all the girls, and she all of a sudden got very emotional because there was an issue with her hair. But Jessica feels Sarah’s reaction to her hair issue was more about the fact that she couldn’t process that her dad was marrying someone else. Fortunately, Jessica’s aunt Cassie calmed Sarah down and got her excited. They all later went to the little chapel where they got married in the presence of a few members of their extended families and friends. Stay tuned to hear more of the heartwarming story about how the day went down.Highlights of the Discussion: How Matt hates it when Jessica plays with his ears (03:30)Jessica’s bachelorette party and taking classes in pole dancing and lap dancing (10:32)Matt’s horrible experience on the day of his bachelor party (12:26)How Steve met Ann and her husband for the first time (18:49)Steve going to the wedding and showing support for Matt and Jessica’s union and the therapy he had to go through a month before (22:01)The benefits of counselling and how everyone should get it even without having major issues (27:46)How Matt slowly disclosed to Jessica what really happened between him and Ann (33:24)Luncheon at the Golden Phoenix and the toast Steve had prepared that he didn’t do (34:07)Finding out if different aspects of a relationship work before getting married (43:28)Additional Resources:www.Linktr.ee/TheBoldLogic--Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook!--You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.If you haven’t already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!
In this episode, Matt, Steve, and Jessica will continue their conversation on how dating was like for Matt and Jessica before they got married. They will dive into the subject of love languages, which refer to how different people love each differently. Jessica will explain how she is comfortable with her weird mix of love languages because everyone in her life loves her in their own unique way and she appreciates it. Matt’s love language towards Jessica for example, includes him understanding the importance of accepting Steve as part of their lives because he’s always known what Steve means to Jessica and Penny.Steve’s love languages when he was married to Jessica and in life in general are physical touch, words of affirmation, and quality time. He was always very affectionate and touchy, especially in public. It took Jessica a lot of getting used to when she got married to Matt because Matt is not affectionate. However, he was more affectionate when they were dating, and made up for the inadequate affection by always writing cute texts and notes for Jessica. They will highlight the value of couples doing nice things for each other without expecting anything in return and address the issue where a woman doubts her partner’s motives when he does a nice thing for her because she thinks he just wants to score some sex in return. A nice gesture goes a long way in making a person feel loved, and for women especially, when it’s done with the expectation of nothing in return, they tend to show up better in the bedroom. Matt and Jessica will share so much more about the time they were dating, like how they never went out on many dates because they just couldn’t, and how Matt designed Jessica's ring and had it custom-made so he could propose to her with it. It’s all going to be a super interesting look at what a great relationship that can lead to marriage should look like, and so much more, so don’t miss out.Highlights of the Discussion: The first time the Hosanna shouts were done outside (03:29)Steve’s time of big self reflection when he always takes a good hard look at where he is in life and how he feels about it (06:23)The peace and calm of watching conference (09:18)Avoiding the habit of beating ourselves up and thinking we have to hit some high standard of something none of us are ever going to get to (12:00)Opening ourselves up to being okay with receiving love in different ways (16:15)Steve’s starvation for affection because of the quarantine (22:04)It doesn’t take much to show people love (23:08)Taking a birthday trip whether the quarantine is lifted or not (29:06)The backstory of how Matt designed a ring and proposed to Jessica (32:16)Getting married at an adorable teeny tiny church (35:13)How sewing, cooking, and food canning skills will come in handy during this time (40:10)Why Jessica never went mountain biking with Steve and yet did it with Matt (48:08)The bishop who not only married Matt and Jessica, but was also Steve’s bishop (52:25)Additional Resources:www.Linktr.ee/TheBoldLogic--Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook!--You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.If you haven’t already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!
In this episode, Matt, Steve, and Jessica will talk about how dating was like for Matt and Jessica before they got married. They’ll start off the episode by sharing how they’re all doing with social distancing and "sheltering in place" due to the global Coronavirus pandemic. Things have been out of balance for Steve because all he’s been doing is work (working a ton of hours because they laid off 12 out of their 17 employees) and self quarantine at home alone which makes him feel the loneliness of being single. Penny on the other hand has been doing a lot of reading and calling her cousin almost every day so they can do math problems together. They’ve even made things a little bit more fun by doing writing prompts.Jessica’s experience has been a little bit different because she’s been guilting herself to tears for not doing enough stuff on a daily basis because of the limitations of the self quarantining. On some days she’s getting some things done to her satisfaction while on others she can’t do anything for a whole day, and that makes her feel like she’s failed, but she’s been learning not to be too hard on herself. Matt is also having different experiences with the whole pandemic and the chaos it’s causing in people’s lives, but he feels that everyone should be grateful and appreciative of the people who are out there still working so that everyone can still have access to essential goods and services.Getting into Matt and Jessica’s dating, Jessica knew from the very beginning that they would end up together and several people in her life were also making suggestions that her and Matt would be great together, but it wasn’t until nine months were gone that they actually started dating. Matt was dating someone else, but when they chatted with Jessica he would express the fact that he wanted to break up with her because he was done with relationships. All the while Jessica was making sure Matt knew she was interested in him, and how they ended up dating will make for a hilarious and amazingly lovely story that you won’t wanna miss, so stay tuned.Highlights of the discussion: What the Coronavirus social distancing has been like (01:33)Penny’s amazingly creative writing skills (04:11)How people in a relationship are driving each other crazy from being self-quarantined together (13:36)The importance of being an engaged parent and how hard it is sometimes (14:39)Having some grace for others during this difficult time (23:14)How Matt and Jessica came to be, and how Jessica pulled a “New Girl” on Matt (31:11)Making moves on each other and going out on a real date (37:20)The friend of Jessica’s who hated Steve because of his laugh (39:07)Talking about marriage two weeks into dating (46:16)Stepping right into the void that Jessica left in the single moms club (48:52)Additional Resources:www.Linktr.ee/TheBoldLogic--Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook!--You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.If you haven’t already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!
In this episode, Matt, Steve, and Jessica will have a conversation with Jason Dunnigan, better known as The Modern Dad on Instagram. His Instagram handle, the_modern_dad, is an ode to his message and belief that dads need to be more involved in their children’s lives than they traditionally have been. While he’s an expert social media marketer and runs global social media accounts for a craft company, his true passion lies in being a husband and father. He is married with four children, and is known for his love of shopping, fashion, and all things family focused.Jason will hilariously share his great story about learning to love himself and being an awesome dad and husband. They will all start off by sharing what they’ve been going through with the effects that the Coronavirus related shutdowns have had on their personal lives. Jason’s journey started in Elementary school where he got teased a lot and the other kids thought he was gay because he liked jumping rope with the girls instead of playing with the boys. He wasn’t so much into most of the things that boys were into and that put a lot of social pressure on him because people kept saying mean things about him, and he just couldn’t understand what made people think of him that way when he was just being himself and enjoying it. That continued all through into his late teens until at one point when he got sick of it and decided to move to California where he experienced so much acceptance that he figured out all he needed to do is not care what anyone else thought of him, and just love and accept himself as he was. Now, Jason is the perfect example of what it means to live your best life by being true to who you are. Stay tuned as he shares how he got to the point of owning who he is and how that set him free, so you can apply the same to set yourself free from the confines of caring too much about what other people think of you.Highlights of the Discussion: Matt’s worst nightmare dressing rooms (02:19)Why Jason calls himself The Modern Dad (04:11)Knowing the comfort of leggings and doing the single ladies dance in a custom made leotard and heels (08:12)Having to still go to work despite being in a digital oriented position (12:57)How Jason learned to accept who he was and love himself (15:17)The biggest misconception that people had about him (22:30)Crazies of getting married at 30 and Jason’s opinion on online dating (26:15)The detriment of getting so caught up in who everybody else thinks we're supposed to be (34:16)Helping people accept and love themselves (43:24)Additional Resources:Jason “The Modern Dad” on Instagramwww.Linktr.ee/TheBoldLogic--Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook!--You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.If you haven’t already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!
In this episode, Matt, Steve, and Jessica will be talking about Matt’s dating life right after his divorce was finalized. He has been going through a very rough divorce because his ex-wife had insisted that she would be the one to file the divorce papers, and she dragged it on for more than a year and a half during which time Matt was going through the dry spell of the century. He wanted to start dating, and he weirdly expected lippage (making out) on the first date with the first person he would date, but his mom advised against it, so he shelved the dating idea altogether.After the divorce was finalized, he could finally start dating, but he was having a hard time finding the kind of person he was looking for from the network of people he knew. So he joined a dating website called LDS Planet, and with his great copywriting skills, he was able to build a good dating profile that got him a lot of potential dates. The dating experiences he had with the different women were not so encouraging for him because he was looking for something serious with someone he had stuff in common with.The one thing he didn’t like is the fact that about 75% of the women would lie about themselves on their LDS profiles. An example was when he went on a date with someone and noticed that she walked funny like she was handicapped, but she had never mentioned on her profile that she was handicapped. Matt will share the experiences he went through dating each of the women he dated before he met Jessica, and it’s going to be a mix of funny and inspirational storytelling that will definitely make your day. So make sure you stay tuned.Highlights of the discussion: Dealing with a very long dry spell and wanting lippage on a first date (03:35)Looking for somebody with common beliefs and who was truthful and faithful (07:42)Enjoying LDS Planet and selling himself with great copy (09:52)The experience Matt had with dating women who were not truthful about themselves (13:04)How people set themselves up for disappointment with dating (15:36)Four or five girlfriends before Jessica and some of the freaky things they were into (19:54)From touching ribs to choking: From one extreme to another (24:49)Dating the perfect girl and how Jessica started hitting on him three weeks into that relationship (30:17)Realizing that Jane wasn’t the one and sitting next to Jessica in church (37:06)The cycle of the never ending story that almost made him give up on marriage (40:58)Additional Resources:www.Linktr.ee/TheBoldLogic--Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook!--You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.If you haven’t already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!

In this episode, Matt, Steve, and Jessica will dive into Steve’s dating life right after him and Jessica ended things, and they’ll start off the conversation with an interesting discussion on the type of guys he’s attracted to and likes to date. Right after ending things with Jessica for good, Steve dated Sebastian and after that too was over, he got into the dating scene in Boise. He had a bit of a rough time in the beginning because, as he later learned, he wasn't meeting the expectations of most of the guys who were interested in him, due to the fact that he was neither looking to mess around nor get into a serious long term relationship.The first guy he dated was very understanding and gave him space because he knew he was just starting out in gay dating. He was a great guy and was actually also friends with Jessica even after he ended things with Steve to the point where he actually took care of her, did her hair for free, and even went out dancing with her. Jessica was always very supportive, loving, and welcoming of every guy Steve dated which made being new to gay dating much easier for Steve. She got comfortable with pushing the boundaries when it came to supporting Steve in his new lifestyle because she understood what Steve was doing was not personal to her or a reflection of how he felt about her. She knew Steve cared a lot about what she thought of his new life and all she wanted was for him to love and accept himself, and understand that she was okay with his new life. Steve will share how he got his first group of gay friends when he joined St. Michael’s church by the Capitol building in Boise. It was a very accommodating gay church but he only went there for six weeks because he discovered that religion wasn’t for him. It’s going to be quite an interesting episode getting to learn about Steve’s dating experiences and how they positively impacted Jessica’s life. You can also expect some awesome inspiration on acceptance of self and others, and how to make the best out of your relationships. Enjoy!Highlights of the Discussion: Steve’s “type” and how he’s attracted to qualities he wants to develop in himself (05:14)The learning curve to gay dating and the two ends of the spectrum when it comes to gay dating (08:25)Enjoying a three-month relationship that would expire at the end of the summer (13:14)Standing by Steve and pushing him in his new gay dating life (15:52)Meeting all the guys Steve had short and long term relationships with and being friends with them even after Steve broke up with them (19:48)The church with the great gay clergy, gay choir, and gay everything (20:34)Taking his new gay friends to his ex-wife’s house for dessert (22:00)Being the straight person at a gay club and being groped by a gay man (28:00)The issue of standing in holy places and what it should really mean (31:44)The value of dating to learn (39:22)Additional Resources:www.Linktr.ee/TheBoldLogic--Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook!--You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.If you haven’t already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!

In this episode, Matt, Steve, and Jessica will chat about when it is the right time for someone to introduce whomever they’re dating to their kids, especially when they’re in a co-parenting/blended family arrangement. Jessica feels that the way to handle that is very personal and depends on the unique situation one is in. In her own experience, when she dated someone she would sometimes introduce him to Penny right away, but the one thing that she applied with every one of them including Matt (even after they were married), was that she was very cautious to never leave Penny alone with any of them. She echoes the importance of someone communicating with their co-parent about the people they’re dating if only to maintain a fair level of mutual respect.For Matt, when he would introduce someone to his kids would be determined by whether or not they had kids because he felt that someone who had kids would better understand what it was like to be a parent. The kind of relationship one has with whomever they’re dating is also critical because for example, Matt, Steve, and Jessica knew each other from church long before Matt and Jessica started dating, and so when they started dating it was easier for Jessica and Penny to trust him. Steve on the other hand believes in introducing someone to Penny to gauge whether they will have any sort of chemistry before he decides to take get more serious with that person. The last relationship he was in was very serious, and they were practically living together, but when they broke up, the guy totally disappeared and Steve could see that Penny had a difficult time processing that. That made him incredibly cautious about ever getting serious with anyone else. They all agree that one should be open with their kids about the people they’re interested in or dating, have a discussion with their co-parent about it, and generally talk to their kids about hard conversations so the kids can know that they can trust them to be honest with them. If you’re a co-parent or dating someone who is a co-parent with someone else, then this is going to be a very interesting, impactful, and resourceful conversation to listen to. Don’t miss out. Highlights of the discussion: Steve’s love for travel and taking advantage of every trip (03:22)A woman that a gay man uses to mask his gayness (04:34)It's totally personal and kind of depends on the situation (07:19)Thinking about it from the child’s point of view (13:31)The awkward situation of saying goodbye to an ex’s kids when you break up (18:28)Letting the other parent know what's going on in the children's lives (23:12)The first time Penny saw Steve kiss another man and how he handled the situation (25:17)The importance of overly communicating things when raising a child together (31:48)Making sure that your kids can come to you with anything (35:30)The advantages and disadvantages of dating someone who has kids (41:16)An open communication with your ex creates a more open communication with your kids (42:37)Additional Resources:www.Linktr.ee/TheBoldLogic--Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook!--You can find the podcast on Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.If you haven’t already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!
In this episode, Matt, Steve, and Jessica will dive into why Steve and Sebastian’s relationship didn’t work out and discuss how dating went for Jessica. A lot of listeners have been reaching out to the trio about why Steve and Sebastian are not together, and so they will go into a journal entry that Steve had written about what went wrong with the relationship.Steve and Sebastian met while Steve was still married to Jessica and it was an intense on/off relationship all through, up until Steve and Jessica separated. They kept seeing each other more seriously after the separation, but somewhere along the way, they had to break things off because Steve had decided to get back with Jessica.Of course, things didn’t work out the second time around with Steve and Jessica, so they got divorced. A couple of years later, way after Jessica and Matt were married, Steve and Sebastian gave things another try. Steve had never moved on from him for all those years, and never even gave anyone else a chance, and he says the reason it failed this time around was because he was a totally different person.When they first met, he was a total disaster. He had just come out, and he really needed someone to hold his hand and guide him through gay life. Sebastian took up that role with pleasure and that formed the basis of their relationship, but this last time around when they gave things another try, Steve being in a better place made him see how unhealthy their relationship really was, so eventually it just couldn’t work.It’s going to be a great story of just how relationships are never perfect, the huge role that compatibility plays in strengthening a relationship, and how important it is for anyone in a relationship to always feel free to be themselves in that relationship.

In this episode, Matt, Steve, and Jessica will talk about how Matt came into everybody's life. They recently attended a winter carnival in McCall with all their kids, and they will talk about how much fun they had there, Steve especially, who Jessica and Matt had not seen having that much fun in a long time. They will then take a trip down memory lane and talk about how they first met. It was when they found themselves in the same church ward and Matt was actually the one who noticed Steve and Jessica.At a church service after that, he saw Jessica and Penny and thought she was a single mum, who he found cute, but then Steve joined them, and he was somewhat disappointed because he assumed they’re married. On another occasion, still in church, Steve approached Matt and introduced himself because Matt seemed like he needed a friend. Matt liked that Steve was friendly and from that point on they became good friends and would go mountain biking together. And it was on one of those mountain biking hookups that Jessica met Matt.On another day when Matt rode his bike from his house to the apartment complex where Jessica lived to meet Steve, he found them both chatting with several of the residents there, and when Jessica saw Matt, she thought to herself, “This guy is super cute. I want to date him and honestly, I’m just gonna marry this guy.” Two weeks after that, she and Steve broke up for good, and she was still thinking about how she could marry Matt. That was the beginning of Matt and Jessica’s amazing journey to marriage.

From the arms of a martial arts instructor to a Russian yoga teacher, all while mourning the loss of her mom and renewing herself, Francesca shares her journey which has led her to teaching and coaching others worldwide. And at the end of this episode I'll share with you a tiny food that is a big powerhouse for helping fight depression as well as balancing hormones. Our guest, Francesca Gentillé I am very excited to be joined here today by Francesca Gentillé, who is an initiated shaman in 4 traditions, a clinical sexologist, she's an empowered aging specialist, and a relationship counselor. She has published, appeared on television and also teaches all over the world. Francesca has an incredible story to share with us today as well as a really generous gift just for listeners of Clean Food, Dirty Stories, which we'll share with you later. First though, let's get to the story. So Francesca welcome to the Clean Food, Dirty Stories podcast! I'm really excited to have you here today! Francesca: I am so delighted to be here Barbara. Barbara is also one of my favorite people in the world; creative, talented, big hearted. Me: Well we've had a lot of adventures together. We have enough stories to fill up an entire season of a podcasts all by ourselves. But for today's story I know that like me you grew up with depression. Also, you had some quite heavy food intolerances where you may have felt like you were almost in the wrong kind of family. So can you tell us a bit about that? Francesca's story Francesca: Yes absolutely. I was raised in a very loud, periodically, emotionally volatile, creative, dynamic, great cook Italian family, an Italian American family. And my mother was bipolar: it was the worst of times and the best of times, and of course they were cooking Italian. So there were lots of pastas and wonderful homemade pizzas and canola. Me: Sounds like heaven. Francesca: It was on the one hand beautiful and so tasty but I would always feel tired and I would feel depressed and they would say in the family that I was always sleeping. They'd say "Why is she so sensitive?" Enter the food intolerances I think some of our sensitivities are signs of being a shaman and but on the other hand I think some of the sensitivity was exacerbated by the food intolerances. And I didn't know this until many years later when a friend of mine was reading The Body Ecology Diet for candida yeast infection that wouldn't go away. She said that when she started doing the diet her yeast infection not only went away, but within two weeks her body pain went away and within a year she lost thirty pounds. And it was the body pain that I that I kind of tuned into and I decided to try it and as I tried it I realized that my body wasn't hurting. Suddenly I felt like I had more energy and I also felt like my mood was stabilized. Yes, a huge difference. Me: So what food did you cut out for that? What were you intolerant to? Francesca: I was intolerant to gluten. Me: Wow! So Italian food was a big no, no. Francesca: All the breads have lots of gluten. So all the pastas all of that is gluten. We eat that and I was also intolerant to cow dairy; so lactose basically. Me: Well so cheese. Francesca: Cheese, and I could have a little goat or a little sheep but in general they were cooking with cow cheese. And so those were two things that were death to my body and my immune system and really I think creating that leaky gut syndrome for me too. Cutting out the bad stuff Me: I know that you said that later on you solved all of that. So besides cutting out gluten actually what other foods did you cut out? Francesca: Well eventually, I have to say I'm somebody who does my life in like small steps. I'm not someone who has created success by changing my whole life overnight, whether that's in relationships or whether that's in business or whether that's and in food. Normally I'll try one little thing and then try another little thing. Me: Sounds like me. Francesca: At first it was gluten and dairy but I was still eating processed, you know like quinoa pasta and millet bread. And then eventually I went on a two week kind of cleanse where it was no processed flours at all; some grains but no processed flours. No sugar, no caffeine, no dairy of any kind and lots of vegetables - cooked and raw. A little bit of grains that might be cooked and then a small amount of either fish or chicken, but lots of vegetables everyday. Many more than I had normally done in any given day and some fruits. And I found in two weeks that I started to feel better and I found in a few months that even though I actually hadn't lost any weight which was something that I wanted but even though I hadn't lost any weight people would start to say "What have you done to your face? You look younger, you look radiant!" It was all these fruits and vegetables and wonderful fruit and juice smoothies. Then within a year I was down to my ideal weight and I just felt amazing! Me: Wow, that's fantastic! Francesca: I did it the healthy way. Enter the martial arts instructor Me: So then I guess you looked so radiant and so amazing that the martial arts instructor found you right? You mentioned that - how did you meet him and what happened? Francesca: Well in this process it wasn't at the complete end of the steps towards health. But in this process of getting more and more healthy, I am also a teacher of relationships and sexuality, and I teach recovery from trauma, and I teach about tantra in a healing way for couples. So while I was doing this, this gentleman came to one of my classes. I felt some energy between us, but at the same time I had learned that sometimes the man I'm most attracted to is the one that I need to walk away from. My animal instincts that get very attracted to people do not tell me that that person is honest. They do not tell me that that person is good. They only say that we have compatible histo immune systems. I thought I should walk away and I did. But he kept writing to me and one day the email wouldn't work. I tried so many different ways but it would not go through. He had given me his phone number so I called him and I said "Do you know if there's a problem with your email?" and he said "Maybe you're just supposed to talk to me." A beautiful relationship So we started to talk and it developed and it really became a very beautiful and magical relationship. He had been studying Dzogchen Buddhism which is a very spiritual form of tantra for twenty five years. We had a lot in common in terms of core values, and it became a relationship which I think of as a soul mate relationship of the best kind, where we were passionate and compassionate. In the six years we were together we never yelled at each other, we never raised our voices. That's not to say we never had a problem or a disagreement, but we were able to work through those disagreements while staying in a centered, mature, adult state. It was such a grace. When I would walk into the room we'd each take a breath like "ah, now I'm safe, now I'm home". And even though he swore he would never get married because he'd been married twice before and they were these terrible relationships, in four years he asked me to marry him. Are you sure you want to marry me? I always knew he would. Although I thought it was going to take a decade, but I always felt like "yes, he's going to ask me to marry him. He just needs to heal a little bit from these past relationships". So when he asked me to marry him after four years I was shocked. He said "You're not saying yes!" and I said "Well I-I didn't expect you to ask me to marry you yet!" I said "Are you sure you want to marry me? Do you know my flaws? Sometimes I'm messy and I don't clean up right away". He said "Yes, I know that". I said "Oh and I love pretty things and sometimes I can kind of over shop and I'm not good at saving money". He said "Yes I know that". So I was like going through the list of all my flaws and he said, "Why do you think it took four years?" He said "I actually wanted to marry you sooner, but I wanted to make sure that I could hold space for your imperfections". And so I said yes, but we decided to wait until my son graduated from high school. That was a few more years down the road. Good news So you know, things were going well, but his business was failing. He was a full time martial artist, he taught martial arts to school children and adults. And it really wasn't financially successful and that was very hard on his heart. It was very challenging for his self-esteem. One day he came to me and he said "Francesca I have some good news and some bad news". And I said "Tell me the good news!" He said the good news is that a friend of his was selling a fitness center, a gym in town in his town with all the workout equipment etcetera. John said "If I combine fitness and martial arts, maybe that will be the ticket for success". I said "Honey, that's great!" Because of course we want our partners to be happy and fulfil their life's mission. I said "You should do that, what's the bad news?" And bad news His martial arts studio would be open from about 8 or 9 in the morning till 9 at night with some breaks in the day. It would get very quiet until the kids came after school. So it had a certain pace that had some spaciousness in it. And you know 8 or 9 in the morning till 9 at night, although still a long day, is not terrible. He said that this fitness studio was open from 4 in the morning till 11 o'clock at night. Because he was investing his money into it, he felt that for at least the first maybe 4 to 6 months he needed to be there. He needed to see how it was being run so that he could try to change it and make improvements. And he said "For approximately 4 to 6 months sweetheart I'll be getting 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night and I really won't have any bandwidth". Well, be careful of what you say to the universe! I said "Oh don't worry, our relationship is so strong, we can handle this". And 5 days later... Within 5 days of that my mother died. 5 days after he signed the papers and put the money into the investment. You never know how you're going to respond to the death of a parent or someone that's very, very close to you. You don't know until it actually happens. And I adored my mother but I was also afraid of my mother. I was conflicted and although I had a lot of anger towards her while she was alive, I made a choice never to bring that anger to her. As she got older her bipolar got worse and she eventually had Alzheimer's, and it just isn't appropriate to bring these kinds of unresolved issues to people who are mentally ill. Me: But then you have to solve them for yourself, right? How do you do that? The grieving process Francesca: And all of those unresolved emotions were there. All the anger and rage that I never expressed to her was there. And then the grieving, because since about twenty five till when she died when I was fifty I had chosen to mostly be separate from her even though we'd been very close when I was young. So I was not only grieving that she was now dead, I actually was grieving the twenty five years that I had chosen to be separate from her. Me: And did you regret those twenty five years? Francesca: Yes and no, because if I had to go back I would probably still make the same decision because she didn't feel safe to me. On the other hand, for the little girl like when I was very young and she was a bit healthier, probably from you know birth till about thirteen we were very, very close. And so the little girl in me just missed her mommy. I would be at home alone curled up into a little fetal ball rocking and this little voice would come out of me saying, "I don't understand!" It was this little girl who just didn't understand that her mother was gone and didn't understand that she would never have an opportunity to be close to her. I think the magical child always hoped in some way that they would reconcile. So yeah I was very shattered. My son would later say that it was like I was missing for two years. Me: How old was your son? Francesca: My son was... I think he was either, maybe about fourteen, something like that. Me: Oh wow! Okay, so old enough to know that yeah there was some heavy stuff going on. Walking in the underworld Francesca: And yeah, those two years in many ways are a blur. I would eventually end up going to two therapists a week for over a year, a year and a half. And I really ended up feeling like I was later like I was walking with my mother in the underworld for that time. Me: Oh wow! Francesca: Yes, it was very deep, it felt very profound. Me: That must have been very helpful, very healing. Francesca: Where I am now, I'm at peace with her. I feel her love for me, I feel my love for her. It's like we've completed what we were meant to complete in this life, and I feel like I've known her many lifetimes and I'll probably know her again. Me: Yep, I'm sure you will. The birth of a crazy idea Francesca: But in this time period where so much of my energy is now in the underworld or so much of my little girl is grieving and crying while my adult self is missing...In that time period John is getting three or four hours sleep a night. He needed me more than he ever needed me and I couldn't be there emotionally. And then I needed him more than I ever needed him, and he couldn't be there for me emotionally. Neither one of us were thinking particularly straight. But we were noticing that we were getting more and more depleted, more and more raw. It's almost like when you haven't had enough sleep and your mind is just starting to think sort of crazy, and you almost feel like you're shaking because you're under-slept. Both of us were like that because I wasn't sleeping well with the grieving. Me: Well and you do literally start to lose your mind when you lose sleep, when you don't have enough sleep, right? I mean that's a proven thing. Francesca: Exactly, and we came up with this crazy idea which is "We need more support, we need more energy in the relationship. I know! We'll open up the relationship in a 'don't ask, don't tell' model". Me: Wow! So can you explain? Because some people might not know what that is. How not to navigate an open relationship Francesca: I'm not against open relationships or polyamorous relationships or swinging or anything else. And I think there are ways to have open relationships that are beautiful and ways to do them terribly. Just like there are ways to be monogamous that are beautiful and ways to be monogamous that are awful. I mean it's not the design of the relationship that is the grace or the problem. It's really "Are we centered? Transparent? Collaborative? Compassionate? Do we have good communication skills?" That's what's going to make any design better or worse, depending on who we are bringing to that relationship. Well one of the things as a relationship counsellor that I would say is that if you're going to have an open relationship it's actually healthy to be transparent, to reveal to your partner, to not lie, to not hold things back, to be able to collaborate so you still feel like you're a partnership. So even though you might be dating someone else, or going to a party and canoodling with someone else, you still feel like your home partnership is your best friend, is that place that you're the closest to, is the person that you're revealing everything to. And I think it's very dangerous to try to do this without revealing to each other. It's very easy when we start withholding information, whether about sex or anything else. Sex, money, you name it; when we start to withhold information, it's easy to build resentment. So it's easy to start feeling more and more separated. Now this is a crazy notion that I never would have agreed to in my right mind, but I wasn't in my right mind. Where's my primary care support? So we agreed and we weren't living together at this time. We were living in different houses but we'd see each other every weekend and talk every day. And he ended up having a couple of, you know, kind of flings. Things that were a little lighter, it was fun, it was sexy but it wasn't particularly emotionally depthful. But I felt - oh my God! Barbara, I felt like I was going crazy. I felt like I just wanted someone to hold me when I cried. And I wanted someone to hold me in the night when I felt so frightened and alone. For me, I didn't want just a little sexy fun fling. I felt like I needed what they call in the hospitals in America 'primary care support'. Like when someone is in the intensive care unit and they need twenty four hour care. I felt like that was me. Enter the Russian yoga therapist And there was a man that had been a student of mine who was very, very alluring, kind of reddish brown copper hair, big almond brown eyes, slender...He was a Russian yoga therapist and massage therapist. Me: You already got me intrigued! Francesca: With long hair...and he and I started to spend more time together and he was being emotionally supportive. And when this open relationship design came into being I went to him and I said, "What do you think?" Well he was all over it! Me: Literally! Francesca: Oh my God all over it and all over me! I remember a night, I think it might have been the night where I said you know, we've opened the relationship and we could get together where I think he said like he couldn't get out of this chain link fence, he was somehow locked in. He actually climbed the fence, and he ripped his clothes! You know, this person who's just like running to try to get to you... Me: Like in a movie, right? Francesca: And it was the beginning of...of course it was very passionate in the beginning and we were, you know, making love at night and in the middle of the night, and in the morning, and we were traveling together...within a month I had actually moved this guy in! Me: Wow! Did John know at that point? Francesca: No because we were doing the 'don't ask, don't tell' model! Me: Oh! Oh my God...okay! Francesca: Yes! Life with a sexy fitness coach And this guy was this primary care support where he would cook for me, and he was someone who cooked very vegan, very healthy. So he would cook for me. He was also a fitness coach so in the mornings he would have me do yoga stretches. And it was in a way it was exactly what I needed. I could tell that this was moving too fast and that John... I couldn't keep doing 'don't ask, don't tell'. When 'don't ask don't tell' becomes 'you'd better tell' So I visited John and I said I need to talk to you. I said "I have gone and not just dated someone, I've not just had sex, but I've gone very, very deep. I've formed another primary relationship and I've already moved this person in". And of course John was shocked and hurt but once again he was getting three or four hours of sleep a night. He just didn't have the bandwidth to even talk about it. It was just...we tried to talk, but he didn't have the bandwidth, and I didn't have my normal skill sets. I'm normally quite erudite, normally very adept in language and communication and in graceful language and communication, and I wasn't. Within I would say maybe a couple of months, John called me and he asked me if we were having unprotected sex. And we were. John said, "Were you planning to tell me?" I said "Yes". He said "When were you planning to tell me?" And I said "You know, I think the next time we were going to get together". John said "Well, it's over". Another death to grieve And then I was not only grieving the death of my mother, but I was grieving the death of the relationship with my soul mate. It really was the best relationship I'd ever had and it's now been ten years and it will be best relationship I've had so far; hope springs eternal, but so far - and it was another shattering for me. So now I'm with this seductively charming Russian yoga master, and it seemed like 'well maybe you're supposed to be with him'. Is this my stuff or his stuff? But something starts to happen where I start to feel more and more insecure. And at first you know maybe I'm thinking 'well it's because I'm grieving' or 'it's because I'm not centered' But I've come to find out over the years - I now have a data collection taken from many relationships - that in the relationships where I feel the most calm, I am with someone who is honest, with good integrity and who is in fact trustworthy. And when I'm in a relationship with people who are lying to me or withholding or cheating in some way, I start to feel more and more insecure. Me: Well that makes sense, right? Francesca: There is an exception to this and usually whenever I start to feel a little insecure, possessive and obsessive in a relationship, I make sure to get counselling. I make sure to get the support so that I'm coming back to the center and I've separated out what are my issues from my childhood versus what is my energetic intuition saying about this relationship. Me: Yep I get it. When a healthy influence turns to dysfunction Francesca: And so sometimes we do have some of our own issues from the past. But with all the therapy and everything...One week the therapists both said - even though they weren't talking to each other - in the same week they both said "I think you need to look at your relationship. I think you're not just grieving and I think that there are some things that might be unhealthy in your relationship" and they both said it interestingly enough the same week. So with this guy, something would just snap in him and he would begin to yell at me. He'd yell at me and shame me and denigrate me - not just for like three minutes, but I would time it. For fifteen minutes, for twenty minutes, for twenty five minutes, for thirty five minutes. Me: Right, so super unhealthy. Francesca: Super unhealthy! and I would tell him, you know, "I'm grieving, this is not okay, I can't handle this". It would be fine for a little while and then he'd go back to it again. Very emotionally abusive. I didn't actually find out until after we broke up that he had been... we also ended up teaching together and he had gone to some of the students in our classes after he found out that they had been molested as children, after he found out that they had terrible family backgrounds and it was hard for them to understand their boundaries. After he found that out, he would seduce them. Me: Whoa! He should be in jail! Seriously! Francesca: Yeah! I didn't find this out until after we broke up and then ... Me: So what did you do? What's the lesson here? Francesca: I tried to let my community know that this person was very, very unhealthy. And you know I did my best to get that information. But it felt terrible, really, really terrible. I had allowed him to stand beside me and teach, I'd actually helped promote him in my community. That's still something periodically that's heavy on my heart. And for me I want to say that I've learned to forgive myself and that's an important part of healing. Me: Oh yeah. Francesca: We can't just beat ourselves up, we have to get the lesson. Like what's the lesson? Part of that lesson - this is very interesting - when my mother died, no one came to visit. What do you do when someone dies? Where I come from back in the center of the United States, it's more farmland, it's more...people are in the same area generation after generation, and when someone dies, your friends show up or your family shows up and they bring you food. They understand that you're not going to want to cook, that you're going to feel sort of out of your body. So people show up and take care of you at least for the first couple of weeks if not longer. When my mother died, no one came to visit. I tried to email and say, you know, my mother has died, I feel very shattered, this is so hard, I'm having so many emotions...and no one came. Tough questions and enlightening answers A couple of months later when I was out in the world I would see my friends and I would say "Do you know that my mother died?" "Yes". "Okay uh...I'm curious, why didn't you stop by? Or why didn't you call?" And what I heard really highlighted the wounding that we have in our culture around grieving. So what they said was, "Well you're such an independent woman, I thought you would want to do it yourself". Well this is weird because you know, in most cultures in the world you grieve in community. You don't grieve by yourself! That's such a weird modernization. We're meant to do this together. And so I thought 'hmmm, that's a wound of culture that they thought I needed to grieve by myself'. Some people said that they were afraid of death. I understood that and I could have compassion for it, but I thought that's another wound of culture. Because death is so removed. It's in the hospital, it's far away, it's in a hospice. We don't see death like we would have seen it a hundred years ago, a couple hundred years ago where death was a part of life. You learn to work with it. Once again you learn. People would say "I wouldn't know what to say, I didn't want to make it worse". I would say "Well, let me give you an option. One possible thing to say is 'I'm so sorry for your loss'". Me: Yes exactly! Francesca: Fairly safe, but they literally didn't know that! Enter the life-changing answer So the answer that started to change my life was when people said, "Francesca of course I love you, of course you're important to me, but I thought that you're so well loved that you would have people that were closer to you than me. People who would be with you". And I said "Well what I think I hear you saying is that you don't realise that you're important to me. That you don't realise that you're actually really close to me". And they said "Yes!" and I thought 'Whose job is it to let you know that you're important to me?' Me: Yours! Francesca: It's my job! But I'm not doing a good job of letting people know that they actually matter to me! When walls no longer serve When I saw that I thought 'Oh my God! I have a wall around me'. It's the wall that I built to protect myself. I built it brick by brick as a child, as an adolescent, as a young woman. And I built this wall to try to protect me from being hurt by my family or being hurt by mean kids or etcetera. But now I realize this wall that has been designed to protect me also keeps people from me and I have spent my life proving my independence and that I can take care of myself. So if I need to move forward in life, the next development in life is to let people in to care for me and to let out, to be vulnerable, to reveal how important you are to me. Me: Wow! That is almost freaky because I had the same realization about the wall about a year ago. And in fact that was one of the reasons why I started this podcast! Because I thought, 'What way can I start to share some vulnerability with the world?' How can I start to yeah, just you know, tear down the wall, basically! So that is really freaky because I didn't know that that was going to come up today. Wow! Francesca's gift We have to wrap things up pretty soon but before we do that, I mean what an incredible story! I want to put links obviously to what you do in the show notes. But before we get to the food tips for this episode I know that you have very generously offered a special gift for our podcast listeners. So can you say something about that? Francesca: I have! You know, all of the suffering becomes a grace when we learn from it and in that we can help others. So if anybody's listening and they've suffered a lot, on the other side of that suffering is who you are as a healer. I want to offer my support to all of the listeners and to say that I'm happy to offer you a gift session by phone or Skype. This will be approximately forty five minutes to an hour. You would email relationshipdiva@gmail.com and put in the subject, 'gift session'. I'm happy to collaborate with you and really offer my support for our time together. Me: Wow! That is awesome Francesca, thank you so much. I know that people will take advantage of that because I mean you've got so much to offer in so many areas. Around sexuality and relationships and even, you know, life's journey and the whole thing. So thank you so much for that. I really appreciate it. It's been super, super having you on the podcast! So thank you again so, so much! A food that helps you fight depression and helps with balancing hormones So, I mentioned at the beginning of this episode that I'd share with you a tiny but amazing food that can help fight depression as well as help with balancing hormones. And that food is... Flax seeds! Benefits of flax seeds, including balancing hormones Flax seeds are amazing and if you aren't eating them yet, you've got to get yourself some. The reason they can help fight depression is because they're high in omega-3 fatty acids. But they also can help with balancing hormones. I'll link to a study in the show notes that seems to say that eating flax seeds may help prevent some forms of cancer. Flax seeds are also high in fiber and low in carbs, and they help reduce sugar cravings, they improve your skin and hair...I mean there are just too many benefits to mention here, so I'll link to an article or two in the show notes if you'd like to read more about flax seeds. How you eat flax seeds Now, how do you eat flax seeds? Well, some people buy flaxseed oil and pour that over salads and veggies. What I like to do though is buy the whole seeds and then grind them quickly in a coffee grinder or high-speed blender. You can then sprinkle them over salads or cereals, or use them to make crackers, bread, pancakes and all kinds of things. They're great to thicken recipes. And of course if you want some specific recipes that use flax seeds, I've got a gorgeous recipe for Nut Burgers (and ketchup) in my 5-Minute Mains recipe ebook that I'll link to below. Have YOU got a story to share? If you've got a true story to share, and you'd like to know what food could have saved the day in your situation), I'd love to hear from you!
