| 02 Feb 2021 | 129. Rebuilding Trust In Your Relationship After Betrayal | 00:53:33 | |
Safety, trust, and vulnerability. These are some of the pillars of long-term relationships. That is why infidelity could inflict a deep wound within us - for betrayal stands at the opposite end of what relationships stand for: open-heartedness, transparency, and communication. Licensed marriage & family therapist Jennifer Lehr is the founder and owner of WeConcile, through which she helps couples heal from pain and reconnect in their relationships. She stresses that infidelity is such a powerful force that it completely changes a relationship - but through work, transparency, and the willingness to own up to vulnerabilities, couples may be able to reconcile and begin their relationship anew. In this episode, Jennifer and I explore the different aspects of betrayal in relationships. We highlight the difference between privacy and secrecy and explain how the latter can become destructive to a relationship. We discuss whether the cheated person should ask detailed questions about an affair. We also underscore the role of transparency and vulnerability in healing and reconciliation after a betrayal and emphasize the importance of supporting each other’s growth in a relationship.
“Infidelity is a tsunami - it completely changes the landscape of a relationship. Rebuilding is a definite process that involves responsibility and remorse, and transparency.” - Jennifer Lehr

| 03 Mar 2020 | 81. The Challenges of Workplace Relationships | 00:49:39 | |
Thomas Doochin is the CEO of Daymaker, an organization that helps employees cultivate a deeper connection with their community, team, and themselves through the intentional acts of giving and service. Daymaker helps people realize and foster their intrinsic goodness and generosity by helping employees and their companies connect with under-resourced communities. Through this experience of generosity and service, Daymaker aims to bring givers and the people they serve closer, and inspire them to explore the feeling of aliveness and connection. Thomas joins me again today to discuss forming relationships with our colleagues in a work environment. We share our personal experiences of forming deep friendships with colleagues and bosses and discuss how it could be challenging to bring in our humanness and develop meaningful connections in the workplace. We describe how differences in age, experience, and hierarchy can prevent an employee from being their authentic selves. We also discuss how good workplace relationships can transform the working environment as well as explain why it is difficult to bring our relational skills into the workplace.
“There is an opportunity each day in our workplaces to be simply aware of how we are reacting to those who are around us.” - Thomas Doochin

| 21 Jan 2020 | 75. Dealing With Family Dramas: Standing Up For Yourself | 00:51:52 | |
Everybody has family dramas. But while no family is entirely healthy, it’s always great to be in a family where there’s less drama. My wife, Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky, brilliant artist, founder and owner of Artsy Goddess Studio, hails from Denmark. With my American background and her upbringing from a different culture, we’ve had our share of family drama with our relatives. How can a couple stand up for themselves and their happiness amidst the expectations of their family? In today’s episode, Yvonne and I share how we handled family drama and stood up for the decisions we made for ourselves. We explain how deciding for your happiness can get genetically or energetically passed down to the next generation and change your family’s narrative. We reflect on how standing up for our decisions made us happy and set the tone for the rest of our lives together. We also discuss why we shouldn’t make decisions to satisfy other peoples’ expectations and highlight how setting up boundaries can break family drama. I also answer a listener’s question about whether she should invite her relatives to her wedding next fall and why planning your wedding shouldn’t be about protecting other people or their feelings, but about celebrating the love you share with your partner. I explain what you should consider when deciding who to invite to your wedding celebration to stay authentic and true to yourself and your feelings as well as my philosophy on the younger generations often surpassing their parent’s ability to set boundaries.
“ We felt into our hearts and co-created what this family was going to be about.” - Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky

| 23 Apr 2019 | 36. Understanding Racism: Relationships are at the Heart of This Work | 00:40:58 | |
Connie Burns has been a counselor for three decades, specializing in therapies focusing on trauma and the body. Residing in the Blue Ridge Mountains, she is extremely passionate about issues on racism and environment conservation. A combination of the current ideological disconnect in Western society and the ever-looming threat of climate change spurred her into action, as she now takes a more active role in leading discussions on shattering existing racist norms in American society.
Connie joins me today to discuss the inherent racism in Western culture, particularly in terms of white supremacy. We share our individual experiences with racism growing up and share our personal perspectives. We discuss how we process our thoughts and emotions revolving around racism, as well as the need for openness in order to successfully break down the socially erected barriers of skin color. We also discuss the importance of taking a stand in the face of racist practices and cultural inequality.
“It makes a difference when there are more people speaking up and saying, ‘Yeah, this isn’t right.’” - Connie Burns

| 14 Mar 2023 | 181. The Role of Body Image in Relationships | 00:50:43 | |
In this episode I have a conversation with Jackie Dobrinska. Jackie is a teacher, coach, and spiritual director who has married two decades of mystical practices with 15 years of expertise in physical health, including diet, herbalism, and Ayurveda. She works with people to live from their truest essence. In addition to coaching individuals and leading group workshops, she is currently the Director of Education, Community & Inclusion for Ram Dass' Love, Serve, Remember Foundation. We have a conversation about body image. Are you satisfied with what you see when you look in the mirror? Regardless of what you may think, both men and women, of all ages, are affected by negative body image. How an individual evaluates one’s self has a great deal to do with the quality of one’s interpersonal relationships. How we actually embody our body is a better barameter to understand our relationship with our body’s and how we relate to others. “The first step is to be present with your own body” - Jackie Dobrinska Contact: Jackie Dobrinska Website: ASimpleVibrantLife.com Related Podcasts: Body Awareness Can Help Us Relate Practicing Self-Care in Relationships How Depression Effects Relationships HeartShare: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Relationships

| 04 Feb 2020 | 77. The Power And Effects Of Words | 00:56:44 | |
Trish Kruger is a duo-licensed professional counselor and clinical addiction therapist. Trained in trauma-informed care and motivational interviewing, Trish believes in the value of talk therapy, mindfulness, and expressive arts which she includes in her practice. She completed her graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Western Carolina University and currently works at Blue Ridge Treks, a community of mental health therapists in Asheville, North Carolina.
In today’s episode, Trish and I share stories from our professional and personal lives regarding the power and effect of words. We illustrate how our central nervous system responds to the words we use and receive. We explain how a slight change in the words we use can create belief systems and open us up to new possibilities. We also discuss the different challenges the younger generation faces and how self-compassion, compounded with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy techniques, can help them.
“Every belief started as an experience. We begin telling ourselves a story. As that story gets rooted deeper in our brain, we develop a pattern.” - Trish Kruger

| 17 Aug 2021 | 142. HeartShare: Making Your Relationship A Priority | 00:34:48 | |
Life is becoming busier and busier. The further society progresses, the more it seems that we have more to juggle: work, family, friends, education, health, finances, Netflix series, mortgages. Between these and many other modern-day distractions, it’s difficult for many of us to put effort into our relationships - and easy to say, “I don’t have time!” I get it. But we have to understand that cultivating and nurturing our relationships isn’t solely about time. It’s also about keeping boundaries, protecting what’s truly important, and consciously giving your attention to you, your partner, and your relationship.
In this episode, I discuss the importance of making your relationship a priority and how to do it in spite of the world’s busyness. I discuss our tendency to prioritize our relationships in the beginning and lose our focus over time. I reveal the many reasons it’s difficult for us to prioritize our relationship and explain how we can stay deeply connected with our partner - even when doing individual things. I share the exercise questions I use to assess whether I’m giving my wife the quality attention she deserves. I also underscore the role of self-care and self-development in maintaining and prioritizing relationships and highlight what it means to have a shared experience with your partner.
“Every relationship requires effort. The happiest ones are given plenty of attention.” - Pripo Teplitsky

| 05 Jan 2021 | 125. The Shame/Fear Dynamic In Couples | 00:50:55 | |
There are many moments in a couple’s life that shame and fear show up shrouded in subtlety. While men predominantly feel shame and inadequacy, women tend to go through fear and anxiety. Because of this experiential difference between men and women, it becomes a challenge for couples to understand and navigate the dynamics of shame and fear in relationships. As such, Juan Santos - the owner of Santos Counseling and author of Couple’s Workbook: Making Your Relationship Work - recommends that couples seek self-discovery and strive to cultivate an environment of safety where they both can open up to vulnerability in their relationship. Today, Juan and I illustrate how shame and fear interact and feed off of each other. We discuss the underlying factors of the shame/fear dynamic and describe how societal expectations exacerbate men’s experience with shame in adulthood. We explain how childhood upbringing influences the way people navigate moments of shame in their lives. We also underscore the power of compassionate touch in soothing and calming moments of vulnerability between couples and highlight the role of compassion and kindness in the self-exploration of shame and fear.
“We have to do work on ourselves to be able to feel comfortable with witnessing shame, so we know how to make space for others” - Juan Santos

| 27 Oct 2020 | 115. HeartShare: People Pleasing | 00:37:49 | |
It’s natural for us to want to care for the people we love and make them happy. Many of us are also naturally compassionate and find fulfillment in altruistic endeavors. But there is a fine line between being selfless and being a people-pleaser. It’s essential that we discern whether our proclivities towards catering to others’ needs come from an authentic desire to help or from a place of fear and insecurity. In this episode, I discuss the vital role of compassion in realizing our tendency to be people-pleasers and in transforming ourselves and our relationships. I illustrate how insecurity, fears, and low self-worth can foster the people-pleasing pattern and underscore the dangers of being a people-pleaser. I explain why honesty is one of the greatest gifts we can give to other people and how we can weave kindness into it. I also reveal how we can overcome our people-pleasing tendencies through setting boundaries and being true to our needs.
“When we constantly strive to please, it’s unlikely that we’ll thrive in relationships because we start to feel invisible, even though we’re the ones creating the experience.” - Pripo Teplitsky

| 07 Dec 2021 | 149. Aftermath of a Fight or Regrettable Incident | 00:58:24 | |
Aftermath of a Fight or Regrettable Incident Most people do not have a good way to process the conflicts and fights after the fact. Typical attempts not only fall flight but most of the time spiral right back into the unproductive and disconnecting experience instead of healing and connecting ways. In this episode my wife Yvonne Rainbow and I explore ways we have and do handle the aftermath of fights or conflicts we experience. We also discuss the modeling that each of us have experienced in our own families of origin to understand some of our templates that we’ve brought to our relationship and needed to transform. Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky is the founder of Artsy Goddess Studio, where she actively carries out her role in helping others and the planet heal. Yvonne is passionate about art, as seen in the upcycled clothing she creates from second-hand materials, as well as the visual arts she creates, such as murals, paintings, and tapestries. Yvonne also helps women transform through voice empowering workshops and helps couples through workshops and retreats that she co-facilitates with me.
“If each of us just first owned our part of the conflict after coming back together, we would stop pointing fingers at each other” - Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky

| 09 Jul 2019 | 47. Dealing With Grudges | 00:30:38 | |
Are you guilty of holding grudges? Let’s face it - holding grudges is a common practice for most of us, but it can be detrimental to your relationships as well as your health. Over time, grudges can easily transform into anger, resentment, high stress levels, and even depression. This resentment is often what causes many relationships to end.
So how do we deal with and move past the grudges we may have against others to begin the process of healing and moving forward?
On today’s episode, I discuss how holding a grudge can impact your relationships. I share my personal experiences of dealing with grudges and how holding grudges can impact the people around you. I explain the physiological process involved in holding onto anger and resentment and how holding onto long-term grudges can impact your health. I also share the common personality characteristics of people who frequently hold grudges and share strategies you can use to help yourself and your partner move past grudges for a healthier relationship.
“Resentment is actually the feeling of the act of holding a grudge.” - Pripo Teplitsky

| 25 Sep 2018 | 01. Introducing Myself: What is Connection | 00:37:00 | |
Relationships are critical for creating a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life. They are all around us - from the people we interact with on a day-to-day basis to the animals and nature in our environment. Our relationships are built on the connections we forge with the people, places, and things in our life - whether that be the connections with our friends and family, our pets, or the emotional bonds we tie to items such as heirloom effects that have been passed down from generation to generation.
On today’s episode, I share who I am, my background, and why I decided to launch the Relationships! Let’s Talk About It podcast. I share what you can expect from each episode and guest conversation featured on the show as well as my intention to help more people forge deeper, more meaningful, and authentic relationships with those around them. I also explain what it truly means to build deep connections with your spouse or significant other as well as tips on how to forge more meaningful connections within your relationships.

| 04 Oct 2022 | 170. Defensiveness | 00:59:26 | |
It’s natural to get defensive when you feel threatened, or criticized...but your defensiveness may not serve you, your partner, or your relationship. The sad thing is many of us react defensively without even thinking about it. It creates an atmosphere of contention, tension and most of the time blame that eventually leads to a loss of trust, alienation, and separation. Owning our defensiveness is the first step to changing that automatic reaction. In this episode, I have a conversation with my friend Gregg Levoy and we dive into this topic. Gregg is a frequent seminar leader who holds workshops in the faith-based, human-potential, educational, governmental, and business industries. He is a Passionate Living Expert who has penned bestselling books such as Vital Signs: The Nature and Nurture of Passion as well as Callings: Finding and Following An Authentic Life which has been named as one of the Top 20 Career Publications by the Workforce Information Group. He regularly shares his insights and expertise as a frequent contributor to Psychology Today. “I’m realizing that winning isn’t the objective, even though it feels good” - Gregg Levoy Related Content: Other Podcasts with Gregg Levoy: Circling: A Powerful Communication Tool New Love...Taking Risks To Be Real What is a Generous Conversation Connect with Gregg Levoy:

| 08 Sep 2020 | 108. Under Stress, We Regress | 00:49:31 | |
A lot of people are in tremendous stress as a result of the global pandemic. Some people find themselves falling back to some old behavior patterns that they thought they had already let go. This is what’s called regression: a defensive mechanism for coping with stress. It’s a common phenomenon many of us experience unconsciously. Corey Costanzo - a licensed addictions counselor and good friend of mine - believes that a significant part of managing our regressive responses to stress is mindfulness. Corey is a licensed massage and bodywork therapist, somatic experiencing practitioner, and co-owner of Still Point Wellness, a premier Esalen Massage and Salt Water Floatation spa in Asheville.
Today, Corey and I discuss our tendency to regress when we are under stress. We highlight the different ways regression can manifest in our lives and how they can impact our relationships. We share some of the tools you can use to learn how to recognize regressive tendencies and manage them. We also draw from our personal experiences with regression and illustrate how we work with it, as well as emphasize the parents’ roles in teaching children how to cope with stress and negative experiences.
“It’s important for everybody to figure out the resources to be able to stand up in the face of uncomfortable sensations and thoughts.” - Corey Costanzo

| 25 Aug 2020 | 106. HeartShare: Is Your Relationship Stuck On Autopilot? | 00:34:02 | |
When something is enduring and permanent, we can often take it for granted. This happens in long-term relationships, too, and when we take it for granted, we assume it will take care of itself. We go full-on autopilot in our relationship, abandoning all semblance of control, and think that by the end of it all, our partners will still be there. There are so many ways that we put our relationship on autopilot - some of them we’re not even aware of until it’s too late.
Today, I explore the different ways we go on autopilot in our lives, whether in our relationship with our partners or ourselves. I describe the relationship between mindfulness and going on autopilot, explain how we become unhappy when our mind wanders, and discuss how we can avoid it through introspection. I also highlight the importance of slowing down to directly experience our lives and share some questions you can ask yourself to help you disrupt your tendency to autopilot your life and relationships.
“The alternative to being on autopilot is being conscious. It’s about having a deep awareness of our relationships and our environment.” - Pripo Teplitsky

| 28 Jul 2020 | 102. Leading With Love, Humor & Employee Autonomy | 00:48:07 | |
Trusting employees is crucial to the growth of a company. Whether you’re leading a Fortune 500 company or a three-person podcast production company that operates remotely, you need to foster good relations by giving employees autonomy and freedom. That’s the wisdom of Kate Astrakhan, an audio engineer and technical podcast producer. She is the founder of Podcast Network Solutions, a podcast post-production company that testifies her love of storytelling and audio broadcast. Through her company, Kate demonstrates what it means to be an empowering leader whose actions are based on faith and values systems.
In this episode, Kate and I discuss how she leads her business and the people she works with. We explore how appreciation can encourage positive behavior and how giving autonomy and freedom empowers their genius. We describe the role of trust in business relationships and emphasize the value of helping employees through tough times. We also examine the impact of letting employees work on what they love and encouraging employees to grow in their area of genius.
“Let your team be the mayors of their world. Empower them to rule their area of genius in service to clients and company.” - Kate Astrakhan

| 19 May 2020 | 92. HeartShare: Stop Playing The Blame Game | 00:32:04 | |
If there’s another big contagion going around, it’s blame. Its infectious nature is so profound that it goes back and forth between a couple, trapping them in a cycle of criticism, pain, and disempowerment. No one wins in a relationship that plays the blame game - it has no positive impact on any of the parties involved. It’s sometimes difficult for people to see themselves tethered with the chains of blame, but to be able to co-create a relationship, one must rise to the challenge of letting go of blame and criticism. In this episode, I discuss how blame erodes a relationship’s creative potential and how to overcome it. I illustrate blame and criticism’s addictive nature and describe the physiological stimuli we feel when we attack or blame another person. I discuss how chronic blaming could destroy your partner’s self-esteem and self-worth and how it could set you up for an unhealthy relationship in the future. I also share how we learn to blame another person through our parents as well as highlight how we can foster an environment where our children can learn responsibility instead of criticism.
“Blame is an endless loop. The antidote is curiosity, connection, appreciation, and responsibility.” - Pripo Teplitsky

| 13 Oct 2020 | 113. Authentic Relating | 00:47:30 | |
Benjamin Haynes is a wonderful example of today’s young generation. He is a meditator, yogi, and evangelizer of “authentic relating.” I was impressed by his presence, groundedness, and the intentional manner in which he spoke when we met about a year ago. After graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill and teaching in Malaysia under a Fulbright grant, Benjamin recently joined Authentic Relating Training, an organization dedicated to the practice and production of authentic relating programs.
In today’s episode, Benjamin and I explore the meaning and purpose of authentic relating. We discuss what led him to authentic relating and share tips to help you relate with others with presence and authenticity. We illustrate how meditation can impact our lives and benefit the way we communicate with each other. We also emphasize the power of leading with presence and the value of focusing on what matters.
“Authentic relating transforms yourself and your relationships through communication.” - Benjamin Haynes

| 23 Jan 2024 | 203. Heartshare: Following Through on Commitments in Your Relationships | 00:47:36 | |
In this solocast I talk about the importance of following through on commitments. It’s basically keeping your word. If you say you'll do something, do it. Whether it's taking out the trash, meeting your partner for dinner, or attending their work event, follow through reliably. The key is consistently matching your actions with your words. Follow-through breeds trust and reliability in relationships. Essentially, partners who do what they say they'll do don't just gain trust; they earn it. Their actions give evidence that they are worthy of trust. This firm foundation is key for relationships to go the distance. “Only make commitments you know you can reasonably keep. Don't say yes to everything.” - Pripo Teplitsky Related Content: Other Podcast Episodes HeartShare: Attitudes of Connection HeartShare: How Practicing Humility Helps Your Relatiopnships Compromising in a Relationship HeartShare: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Relationships How to Have the Partner You Most Want to Have Micro-Moments in Relationships Let’s Talk About It!

| 05 May 2020 | 90. Maintaining Connection Through Conflict: Relationships in a Pandemic | 00:46:53 | |
Conflict is a truth for every couple. Every relationship has its fair share of arguments from time to time. While the threat of COVID-19 persists around the world, couples are spending more time in close proximity while quarantined together and find themselves in more bouts of conflict. In fact, my wife, Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky, and I recently had a special conflict situation. Rainbow is an artist and fashion designer. She is the founder and owner of the Artsy Goddess Studio, where she facilitates voice-empowering workshops and Wisdom Women’s Tents.
Today, Rainbow and I share a recent conflict we had, how we stayed connected through it, and what insights we realized during that time. We explain how the lack of alone time can fuel impatience and highlight the importance of repair and reset after a conflict. We also describe how our practice of deliberate appreciation, acknowledgment, and validation has empowered our relationship over the years, allowing us to stay connected through conflict.
“Don’t get your emotions involved in the unloading. Just be there and witness.” - Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky

| 21 Apr 2020 | 88. The Need For Patience: Relationships in a Pandemic | 00:45:58 | |
Patience is one of the pillars of our everyday lives that must be cultivated. At a time where uncertainty about our future plagues the air, we can feel an anxiety that could drain our patience. We may feel irascible and get frustrated easily, even with people whom we love. Recently, my wife, Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky, and I had a bout of impatience with each other and worked through it. After all, we need patience now more than ever, as it will foster the love that will see us through this crisis. Yvonne is the founder and owner of the Artsy Goddess Studio, where she facilitates workshops and day-long retreats. In today’s episode, Rainbow and I discuss the need for patience amid the COVID-19 crisis. We illustrate how the pandemic is making people lose their patience and describe how impatience can affect our relationships. We share our recent experiences with impatience in our relationship and how we dealt with it. We also explain how insecurity can cause impatience as well as describe the steps you can take to cultivate patience for yourself and others.
“Frustration is something we all experience - it’s not something to feel ashamed or guilty of, as long as we don’t take it out on each other.” - Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky

| 23 Jul 2019 | 49. Our Relationship With The Natural World | 00:27:24 | |
Counseling and connecting with people for over 30 years, Connie Burns is a body-centered psychotherapist who specializes in body and trauma therapies. She has a passion for teaching people how to reconnect with their relationships - relationships with their own bodies, other people, and the natural world. Connie was urged to act on her strong convictions about the current division and conflict happening in western culture as well as the imminent threat of climate change.
Connie joins me today to share the different ways that we are connected to the natural world and how this crucial connection affects us. We dive deep into how our culture has lost that meaningful sense of connection to who we are, how society is disconnected from the natural world, and the challenges it poses on our relationships with others. We also discuss the incredible benefits of being connected to ourselves, to others, and to the natural world as well as how it can take our relationships to a deeper and more authentic level.
“The sacred sons of omnipresent love - we don’t have access to that when we don’t have access to our bodies, and that’s tragic.” - Connie Burns

| 01 Jun 2021 | 137. HeartShare: How To Be The Partner You Want To Be | 00:31:31 | |
If someone asked you to define your perfect partner, how would you respond? Oftentimes, our knee-jerk response focuses on different characteristics and personality traits like ‘I want someone kind, caring, compassionate, supportive, and patient.” But, before we begin to describe our ideal intimate partner - we need to look within ourselves and ask: “Am I being the person I want my partner to be?” and “Am I being the partner I want to be?” The old adage, ‘treat others the way you want to be treated’ rings true in nearly every relationship and - more often than not - the quest to find the intimate partner you most want lies in doing your own inner work. In today’s episode, I discuss why it’s difficult - if not impossible - to find the intimate partner you want the most if you avoid looking within yourself and changing your own behaviors. I discuss how the characteristics and values you seek in an intimate partner are often the same characteristics and values you want in yourself and how reflecting on your life and relationships can help you become the kind of partner you want to be. I discuss why it’s crucial to be compassionate with yourself as you shift your behavior and the importance of finding opportunities each day to show up as the kind of partner you want to become. I also explain how taking time to take care of yourself can help you become a better partner and attract the intimate partner you most want to have. “How you relate to other people is a reflection of who you are in your higher self; how you connect.” - Pripo Teplitsky This week on Relationships!

| 22 Feb 2022 | 154. When to Let It Go | 00:54:22 | |
We all have held on to conflicts, resentments, arguments, grudges, and anger. The decision of whether to bring up and try to resolve a conflict is a tricky one. When is the right time? How should you do it? What if your partner is not open to talk about it? Is it healthy to just let it go and move on? And if you decide to let go of a conflict, what do you do instead? In this episode I have a conversation with my wife, Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky. She is the founder of Artsy Goddess Studio, where she actively carries out her role in helping others and the planet heal. Rainbow is passionate about art, as seen in the upcycled clothing she creates from second-hand materials, as well as the visual arts she creates, such as murals, paintings, and tapestries. Yvonne also helps women transform through voice empowering workshops and helps couples through workshops and retreats that she co-facilitates with me. “Pretending to let it go is just another form of avoidance” - Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky Related Podcasts: Aftermath of a Fight or a Regrettable Incident Maintaining Connection Through Conflict

He is the co-owner of Still Point Wellness, an award-winning Salt Water Floatation and Esalen Massage spa in Asheville, NC. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Vermont and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with a special focus on somatic/body psychology from Santa Barbara Graduate Institute.
Corey joins me today to discuss the aspect of integrity and doing the right thing when faced with difficult decisions. We discuss the difference between following what our bodies and hearts tell us to do versus following our thoughts. We explain how practicing mindfulness and self-inquiry can help you determine whether you’re making the right decisions based on your values and integrity and how these practices can help you be more in-tune with your spouse, partner, or others in your relationships. We also discuss how our past experiences shape the way we make decisions and influence our decisions on doing the right thing.

| 17 Nov 2020 | 118. Mending Political Divides Among Each Other | 00:50:59 | |
Our country is rife with political conversations that tend to divide people. These exchanges can become more challenging when political differences occur in families and close relationships, where a divergence of ideals can strain connection. When the writer, teacher, and food activist Lee Warren recently witnessed one of her peers using aggressive language towards people of the other political spectrum, the experience spurred her to write Can We Love Our Political Enemies?, a piece where she curates an online conversation about having empathy for people who think differently. Lee is the co-founder and managing partner of SOIL - the School of Integrated Living - an organization that teaches organic food production, regenerative systems, and community living. She is a sustainability professional whose experience spans over 25 years and whose interests include rural wisdom, sustainable economics, community, and conscious dying. In this episode, Lee and I explore how we can connect with and love people who have political ideals different from ours. We discuss holding friends to a higher standard of empathy and illustrate how social media tends to exacerbate division among people. We describe what it’s like to experience political differences within families and close relationships and explain how fear and trauma can influence our politics. We also highlight the need to bring curiosity into our ideological differences and discuss how we can use non-violent communication to hold political dialog.
“If we want community, the thing to do is to build real, human coalitions between people who have different perspectives and values.” - Lee Warren

| 04 Jun 2019 | 42. What do men want in relationships | 00:48:50 | |
Vijay Director has provided coaching and consultation services for over 25 years and across a broad spectrum of specialized areas. From relationships and intimacy to sports performance, meditation, and business, he has had extensive experience in supporting men in need of guidance and emotional reassurance. An entrepreneur in the fields of natural living, therapy, as well as arts, health, and spirituality, Vijay also runs a non-denomination, non-profit learning center and has led support groups for men for three decades. Additionally, he is currently on the cusp of completing his first book.
Vijay joins me today to discuss the need for women to understand men’s shame and feeling of inadequacy. We discuss the need for affirmative acknowledgment and appreciation as well as non-sexual physical contact as affirmation of love and support. We share our thoughts on the challenges that men face, particularly with regard to anger and healthy masculinity. We also discuss men’s need for softness in complaints, as opposed to harsh criticism.
“Men are looking to be in relationships and be in spaces where they can avoid shame or have that shame healed in some ways.” - Vijay Director

| 16 Jun 2020 | 96. The Importance of Apologies | 00:49:58 | |
An apology, meaningfully and thoughtfully given, transforms. It transforms us, empowering us to take ownership of our actions and behavior. It transforms relationships between couples, paving the way for love and intimacy. It transforms relationships between peoples, giving them the courage to take responsibility for the past and standing up for racial equality and justice. These are lessons I keep learning in the life I share with my wife, Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky. Rainbow is an artist, fashion designer, and founder of the Artsy Goddess Studio. Together, Rainbow and I continue to hone our skills in the art of apology. We consistently learn about the truths of apologies and forgiveness, whether it’s from our daily interactions with each other or from social and human rights movements like the Black Lives Matter movement. In today’s episode, Rainbow and I discuss why apologizing is as essential in relationships as appreciating. We illustrate how upbringing and social and cultural environments can affect our attitudes toward taking responsibility and asking for forgiveness. We reveal the foundation of giving meaningful and profound apologies and underscore the role of empathy in this foundation. We also share how we apologize to each other and explain how apologizing brings connection and healing.
“A happy marriage is between people who are willing to apologize and forgive.” - Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky

| 29 Dec 2020 | 124. New Love... Taking Risks To Be Real | 01:08:54 | |
The willingness to take risks, to be authentic, and to be open to vulnerability is critical to a new relationship. To author and speaker Gregg Levoy and musician and former Silicon Valley tech executive Cindy Nelson, being able to work with each other’s darkness and light - not to mention their “crazies” - allows them to go deeper in their connection with each other. Gregg & Cindy both began their relationship in May 2020. At the height of the pandemic, Gregg & Cindy navigated their budding relationship slowly, bearing the openness to balance out infatuation and romance with gentle doses of reality, indeed demonstrating that “love” is not only a feeling, but also a verb. In this episode, Greg, Cindy, and I share the story of how they met and illustrate their unique way of connecting with each other. We discuss the value of catching and addressing issues while they’re still small and describe how couples can use non-violent communication to resolve conflict. We also highlight how couples can cultivate safety in each other and explain why it can be beneficial to see a couples’ therapist early on in the relationship.
“As we share our vulnerabilities, we become more capable of handling them, sharing them with somebody else, and putting our hearts in their hands.” - Gregg Levoy

| 10 Oct 2023 | 196. HeartShare: Micromanaging in Relationships | 00:44:05 | |
In this solocast I talk about micromanaging. Micromanaging in a relationship is when one partner excessively controls or monitors the other partner's actions, often to the point of interfering with their independence and decision-making ability It is a form of control and manipulation when it is a constant in your relationship. Micromanaging often stems from a lack of trust or insecurity. It can also stem from OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) tendencies. “Micromanaging in a relationship is unhealthy, exhausting, and will affect your happiness” - ~Pripo Teplitsky

| 15 Aug 2023 | 192. How to Listen Without Being Defensive | 00:57:32 | |
In this episode, I have a conversation with Cathy Courtenay. Cathy is a relational coach and facilitator. She works with both couples and individuals who are striving to find deeper connection and intimacy both with themselves and each other. She helps her clients to see the patterns of relating that are holding them back from what they truly desire. Cathy also facilitates the practice of the Circling Method where she creates a safe space for people where they can stand in their truth and experience what is real for them. Responding to life’s call to find truth, Cathy is committed to a mission of helping uplift humanity and develop profound compassion and empathy in the world. Most of us are challenged to listen non-defensively when we are triggered or our conversations start to get intense. Listening without getting defensive is a skill that can be learned. First awareness is key, know that ourselves or the other is activated. Self-soothing is another step in the process in order to regulate ourselves so that we can listen with curiosity and the intent to understand, not defend.
“If neither partner is resourced in the moments right after activation, that’s when it gets really tricky." ~Cathy Courtenay

| 03 Dec 2019 | 68. Food and Diet Can Influence Relationships | 00:56:30 | |
Mollie Curry is a ‘true Earth’ person. In addition to being a wilderness ranger, communitarian, permaculturist, home herbalist, and gardener, she is a natural builder who aims to help the planet and its people come to greater balance. Through her work, Mollie fosters more profound connections with herself, society, the Earth, and spirit. She was first involved in the art of natural building in the mid-90s when she moved to the Earthhaven Ecovillage in North Carolina.
After years of honing her skills and working as a ranger for the Forest Service, Mollie met her husband, Steve Kemble, at the Lama Foundation, a spiritual community in New Mexico. They eventually moved to Asheville, NC. where she combined her business, Earth Circle Natural Building, with her husband’s to create MudStrawLove, an organization dedicated to training people in natural building techniques.
In today’s episode, Mollie and I discuss how health and diet can affect relationships. We discuss what caused her addiction to sugar and what made her decide to choose a healthier diet. We discuss the cycle of shame that came with her sugar addiction and how that shame affected her relationship with her husband. We also discuss the psychological aspects of eating habits and why distressed couples eat unhealthy food. “There are so many ways of being fed. If you feel an emotional eating impulse, you can go outside and take ten deep breaths. That’s a way of being fed as well.” - Mollie Curry

His work focuses on helping individuals and couples heal from patterns of ancestral, familial, and relational trauma.

In this episode, Jared and I have a conversation about parenting and fatherhood. We discuss our own involvement with our sons and our relational schemas with our fathers. Jared shares his journey into fatherhood after years in recovery, which gave him a foundation and practice in the journey of emotional regulation and renewal We explore such questions as; What do sons wish they had received from their fathers? What might honest, healing conversations between fathers and sons look like? What does it look like to heal intergenerational trauma and dysfunction? “Being the dad that I want to be on a daily basis is not overshadowing the small things; like cuddling my son in bed or helping him regulate when he’s having a tough time.“ - Jared Hinton Related podcasts: Connect with Jared Hinton: Let’s Talk About It!

Phoenix Bartalos is a healer at Blossom and Be, a Nonviolent Communication Coach, a Shadow Work® Facilitator, and a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist among many other training and certifications he has acquired in the previous years. With over 25-years of experience in personal growth, he offers healing services relating to physical, mental, and emotional health throughout the Asheville, North Carolina region. Additionally, Phoenix coaches couples on the foundations of a healthy relationship and helps single people discover and equip themselves on how to open up to others to cultivate conscious relationships.
Today, Phoenix and I explore the reasons for engaging in conscious dating as we reflect on the things we will repeat - and those that we won’t - in our future relationships. We emphasize the importance of working on ourselves and loving ourselves as well as the physical science of setting boundaries. We discuss online dating and what to watch for when looking at online profiles. We also explain how to assess compatibility, especially regarding communication, as well as vital elements such as self-forgiveness and self-love.
“Step one is learning to love yourself. Conscious dating - being in a conscious relationship - that means being conscious of who I am.”- Phoenix Bartalos

| 12 Feb 2019 | 26. HeartShare: Constructive Criticism? | 00:29:41 | |
You will often see the words disapproval, judgment, and faults when you do a Google search on the definition of the word criticism. Many people believe that offering constructive criticism helps improve and build relationships - whether personal or professional. With the negative words associated with the word criticism, why are we surprised that many relationships fail to achieve their goal of finding solutions to the challenges they encounter?
Today, I share what appreciation is and how it is related to criticism. I discuss the big distinction between complaints and criticism, how to test yourself to know if you’re being critical, and the difference between judging-type questions and learning-type questions. I share stories of how criticism creeps up in my own personal relationships, how I ‘dial down’ my inner critic, and how it impacts your external behaviors and criticism. I also share the formula for resolving differences, what relationship hygiene is and the relevance of doing it, and how your habits affect your ability to be positive or negative in your relationships.
“Love does not survive critical judgements from a loved one.” - Pripo Teplitsky

| 05 Dec 2023 | 200. Feeling Seen and Heard | 00:54:41 | |
n this episode I have a conversation with my wife, Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky. She is the founder of Artsy Goddess Studio, where she actively carries out her role in helping others and the planet heal. Rainbow is passionate about art, as seen in the upcycled clothing she creates from second-hand materials, as well as the visual arts she creates, such as murals, paintings, and tapestries. She also helps women transform through voice empowering workshops and helps couples through workshops and retreats that she co-facilitates with me. The longing to be seen, heard and considered is normal and vital. But if you don’t feel heard or understood by your partner (or vice-versa), chances are, neither you nor your partner are really present to each other as much as you could be. We don’t want others necessarily to agree with all our feelings, but what we crave is that they at least validate them. Rainbow and I talk about how this shows up in our relationship. “The best way to understand people is to listen to them” - Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky Related Podcasts: Giving Your Partner the Benefit of the Doubt Repair is Key to a Successful Relationship Aftermath of a Fight or a Regrettable Incident Maintaining Connection Through Conflict

| 14 May 2019 | 39. Helping Men Learn to Connect with Women | 00:53:58 | |
Cathy Courtenay is a dating consultant for men. She uses her learnings from the art of circling to provide personal and spiritual guidance to men who want coaching in the dating and relationship world. Her experience with somatic bodywork and dance, combined with her expertise in marketing and parenting, have provided her with a unique set of skills that allow her to process human emotions and experiences, transforming them into valuable lessons for her clients.
Cathy joins me today to discuss vulnerability, presence, authenticity, self-awareness, and other aspects of dating that can help men better understand what women truly want. We discuss her philosophy and approach when it comes to dating and relationships and how our separate professions allow us to gain deeper insight into other people and learn to “fall in love” with their truths. We also share our insights on self-validation, the emotional barriers that prevent men from having meaningful relationships, and the biggest missteps men commit in pursuing and understanding women.
“In terms of masculine and feminine and our roles, we’re in a different paradigm than we were even 10, 15, 20 years ago.” - Cathy Courtenay

| 18 Oct 2022 | 171. Repair is Key to Relationship Success | 00:47:11 | |
The idea of “repair attempts” in a conflict has been especially important in understanding what matters about the way that couples manage conflict. John Gottman, (relationship expert and researcher) describes repair attempts as “any statement or action — silly or otherwise — that prevents negativity from escalating out of control.” An argument can be avoided and hurt feelings diffused by using repair attempts. If done successfully, they can help de-escalate conflict and keep things from getting out of hand. In this episode I have a conversation with my wife, Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky. She is the founder of Artsy Goddess Studio, where she actively carries out her role in helping others and the planet heal. Rainbow is passionate about art, as seen in the upcycled clothing she creates from second-hand materials, as well as the visual arts she creates, such as murals, paintings, and tapestries.

| 25 Sep 2018 | 05. HeartShare: The Art of Listening | 00:37:44 | |
One of the most common complaints in distressed marriages, partnerships, and relationships is that one - or both - people feel as though the other is not really listening to them. Mastering the art of listening is a critical component for improving your communication skills - and ultimately - your ability to deepen your connection with your partner and the people around you. On today’s episode, I discuss the importance of honing your listening skills and how it can impact and improve your relationship with your partner as well as your friends, family, and colleagues. I explain what reflective listening is and how monitoring your self-talk can impact your ability to become a good listener for others. I also explain what it means to listen with empathy and how being present, curious, and interested in a conversation you are engaged in can impact the way the speaker feels as well as how it can help deepen the connection with them. “Listening and empathy skills are the hallmarks of good communicators.” - Pripo Teplitsky This week on Relationships!

| 20 Jun 2023 | 188. Fantasy vs. Reality and the Effects on Relationships | 01:00:09 | |
In this episode I have a conversation with Eric Ingersoll. Eric is a relationship transformation guide. He knows transformation from the inside out, because he is walking this path himself. Once a brooding indie-rock musician using sexual fantasy to try and meet his needs for aliveness and acceptance, he has since learned the relational skills that empower him to get his needs met in his real-life relationships. By cultivating a magical blend of intimacy and autonomy, he and his wife are falling more deeply in love with each passing day. They now work as a team supporting individuals and couples that want to cultivate more aliveness and connection in their own lives. You can learn more about their work at ericandzucu.com. Eric discusses how living in fantasy most of his life took him away from reality and made it difficult for him to create authentic intimate relationships. Through the continuous work around feelings of shame and inadequacy, and finding compassionate communication tools, Eric is now living a life that is more fulfilled, present, authentic and enriching. If you find you are continually living out relationships in the safe zone of your mind, give this a listen.

| 20 Sep 2022 | 169. Focusing on the “WE” in Your Relationship: Being a Team | 00:54:08 | |
Most couples struggle at times of how to build and feed the “US” or “WE” in their relationship vs. their individual needs and desires. Thinking of your partnership as a team shifts your focus. Suddenly it’s not “me versus you”, it’s “us”. The next step however, is shifting the thinking of this focus and putting it into action. In this episode, I have a conversation with Cathy Courtenay. Cathy is a relational coach and facilitator. She works with both couples and individuals who are striving to find deeper connection and intimacy both with themselves and each other. She helps her clients to see the patterns of relating that are holding them back from what they truly desire. Cathy also facilitates the practice of the Circling Method where she creates a safe space for people where they can stand in their truth and experience what is real for them. Responding to life’s call to find truth, Cathy is committed to a mission of helping uplift humanity and develop profound compassion and empathy in the world. “Being on the same team takes the frailty out of the relationship” - Cathy Courtenay Connect with Cathy Courtenay: Cathy Courtenay Website Cathy Courtenay on Facebook Related Content: Other Podcast Episodes with Cathy Developing a Healthy Relationship with Yourself Control Issues Relationship Sabotage Couples Communication: Circling Techniques Difficult Conversations Falling in Love Let’s Talk About It!

| 04 Aug 2020 | 103. Couples Communication: Circling Techniques | 00:55:37 | |
Cathy Courtenay is a Conscious Relating Coach who brings her heart and listening skills to everything that she does, whether it’s dance or Body-Mind Centering. She is a true gift to the relational world, and through leading the Art of Circling, Cathy cultivates a safe space for people where they can stand in their truth and experience what is real for them. Responding to life’s call to find truth, Cathy is committed to a mission of helping uplift humanity and develop profound compassion and empathy in the world. In this episode, Cathy and I explore and demonstrate the art of circling and how it can cultivate relational skills between couples. We discuss how society has conditioned us to be solutions-oriented and how we tend to be uncomfortable with simply being present for another person. We describe the different kinds of noticing and illustrate how we make assumptions on or judge our experiences. We also underscore the role of curiosity in practicing the art of circling and detail how couples can establish circling as a daily practice.
“The more curiosity you can bring in, the greater the ability there will be for more understanding, connection, and intimacy.” - Cathy Courtenay

| 14 Jul 2020 | 100. Couples Appreciation | 01:07:43 | |
If a relationship is a garden, what is the number one thing you could do to make it thrive? You might think it’s sex, but the number one relationship booster is appreciation. Appreciation is the most potent tool couples can use to cultivate their relationship with each other, their friends, and their family. My 25-year-long relationship with my wife, Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky, has grown through mindfully and intently expressing our appreciation.
Rainbow is a brilliant artist, designer, and founder of the Artsy Goddess Studio whose practice of appreciation - not only in her relationship with me but with all of the people around her - has grown and blossomed like the flowers in her garden.
In this episode, Rainbow and I explore how appreciation has defined and deepened our 25-year-long relationship. We share how we began to consciously practice appreciation and how couples can establish appreciation as a practice. We discuss how consistently and meaningfully expressing appreciation can nip the bud of affairs in relationships and explain how a couple can escape the blame game through cultivating appreciation. We also illustrate how appreciation can magnify the potential in people as well as share an example of how Rainbow and I express our appreciation for each other.
“Appreciation expands and grows. Plant their seeds and see them bloom into flowers.” - Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky

| 24 Sep 2019 | 58. HeartShare: Emotional Availability in Relationships | 00:39:48 | |
Knowing ourselves well involves understanding ourselves so we can be emotionally available in our relationships. It’s about knowing what triggers us to pull back, stonewall, and protect ourselves from the potential pain that was brought about by our circumstances. Being emotionally available to others allows us to establish honest and healthy relationships, even during conflict.
Today, I share what emotional availability is and the steps you can take to increase your emotional availability with others. I discuss why people are emotionally unavailable in relationships, how to deal with the challenges associated with it, and what you can do to make others feel comfortable with opening up and being emotionally available. I also share how my perspective of the male emotional world has changed since my childhood and how my family and I experienced a deeper level of connectedness, honesty, and love in spite of a family conflict.
“This is one way to transform the world - by being emotionally available.” - Pripo Teplitsky

We also share how these methods help put things into perspective and allow us to reconnect with ourselves and our partners as well as explain how giving yourself - and your partner - personal space can positively impact your relationship.

| 25 Feb 2020 | 80. HeartShare: Understanding Jealousy | 00:44:39 | |
Jealousy is a human experience. Whether we were the ones receiving it or the ones feeling it, we’ve all had our fair share of jealous feelings and behaviors. Despite the commonality of this emotion, jealousy could bring on challenges and issues in a romantic relationship that, when aggravated, could create distrust and eventually end the relationship. Couples need to take the necessary steps to overcome jealousy and cultivate a relationship that is connected, open, and loving. Today, I share my thoughts on jealousy, its causes, and its effects. I explain how jealousy can force our partners to put up boundaries or even commit actions that foster distrust. I reveal how insecurities and low self-esteem can cultivate our tendency to be jealous and share some evolutionary perspectives on why we feel jealous. I share my personal experiences with jealousy and highlight the steps we can take to overcome these feelings. I also answer a listener’s question about how to move forward in a relationship without bringing emotional baggage, why couples need to focus on their willingness to examine and work through emotional hurts and difficulties, as well as highlight the importance of celebrating successes in overcoming emotional baggage.
“No matter how jealous we feel, we need to find a way to come back to ourselves. Know that no matter how strong these feelings are, they will come and pass.” - Pripo Teplitsky

| 13 Nov 2018 | 13. HeartShare: The Art of Apology | 00:53:33 | |
When was the last time you said ‘I’m sorry’ and truly meant it? It is often easy to say the words, but to truly feel sorry - to be vulnerable, take accountability, and try to change a bad behavior or habit - it can often prove more difficult. We tend to say ‘I am sorry’ when we feel embarrassed about mistakes or trying to appease another person.
The art of apologizing is a critical skill we must learn in order tobuild deep, meaningful relationship with those around us. And while we often try to avoid conflict in our day-to-day lives - especially with those closest to us - it’s important to remember that it is through conflict and differences that we learn, grow, and improve ourselves and our relationships.
On today’s episode, I discuss the art of apologizing and why it is critical for deepening your relationships. I explain why conflict is necessary for self-growth and understanding and the connection between self-compassion, accountability, and a sincere apology. I also explain how a sincere apology can impact the healing process following a hurtful event, why it’s okay to take time to truly feel sorry before apologizing, and how it can often lead to acceptance and forgiveness.
“One of the greatest gifts of exploring apologies is the lesson of humility.” - Pripo Teplitsky

He is a meditator, yogi, and evangelizer of “authentic relating.” I was impressed by his presence, groundedness, and the intentional manner in which he spoke when we met about 3 years ago.

In today’s episode, Benjamin and I explore contempt directed within us and projected outward to others and how this creates emotional violence. We talk about how we focus on non-violent living in our lives. “Emotional violence is likely to leave marks on the outside or inside of the body” Benjamin Haynes Related Content:

We share how being authentic means paying attention to signs within and around you — and preparing to hear self-truths from ourselves that may not always be pleasant.

Breah Livolsi Parker is a graphic facilitator, authenticity coach, and TEDx speaker who lives by the mantra, “Be who you are… it is so much more than enough.”She is the creator of What’s Right With Me - an audio workbook that is the foundation of her individual coaching sessions and workshops. She is passionate about empowering those around her to fulfill their deepest desires, rediscover their dreams, and unlock their individual uniqueness and innate gifts to truly make a difference in the world.
Breah joins me today to discuss why I consider fatherhood as my kind of yoga. We discuss my relationship with my son and my philosophy on freedom, control, and trusting your child’s life path - as well as your path as a parent. We discuss why children often feel uneasy sharing various experiences and discussions with their parents and how I created an environment where my son feels secure about discussing any subject with me. We discuss how mothers can encourage their spouse to establish a relationship with their children and the impact that a father’s influence can have on their children. Breah also shares how becoming a grandmother has allowed her to try different parenting techniques that she wishes she used while raising her children.

| 23 Oct 2018 | 10. Non-Violent Communication | 00:47:20 | |
R010 Non-Violent Communication
Steve Torma is the co-founder of The REAL Center, an organization that has been committed to encouraging compassionate relationships since 2007. He is the former President of Earthaven Ecovillage in Black Mountain, NC, and was a core faculty member for The Asheville Tantra School. He has established a thirty-year career of helping countless people find healing, direction, and meaning in their lives through his mastery of Non-Violent Communication (NVC), Radical Honesty, Body Electric, Cuddle Party, Restorative Circles, Permaculture, and Creation Spirituality.
Steve joins me today to discuss non-violent communications and how being in sync with our feelings can help us better understand our needs and gain insight on why we make the decisions we make. He explains how our relationships are affected by how well - or how poorly - we know our own feelings, particularly in the way we translate our thoughts into words. He also briefly touches on the four gateway feelings in his line of work — anger, depression, shame, and guilt — and what each of those things really means for the individual.
“Thoughts are obviously important, but to be able to communicate what’s in your body — that kind of aliveness is one of the main things that creates connection.’” - Steve Torma

| 29 Oct 2019 | 63. HeartShare: Curiosity Can Improve Your Relationships | 00:35:45 | |
When you put two people together - people who grew up with different values and belief systems, who lived out different customs and principles - the natural outcome of this human partnership can be both fascinating and frustrating. Each person’s unique experiences can either build up or tear down relationships, depending on whether the people involved would choose to judge or be curious about the other person’s experience. If you take the time to be curious, you would be amazed about how it could change the level of your relationships for the better.
Today, I share how your curiosity builds up your relationship with your partner and those around you. I discuss how curiosity allows you to reexamine the conflicts in your relationships as you stay away from assuming, concluding, and judging the other person. I also share the different ways you can ask your partner, “How’s your day?” as well as how my own curiosity led me to bring a certain level of freshness and newness into my relationships.
“Wondering and curiosity creates fertile ground to create open discussions.” - Pripo Teplitsky

| 12 Jul 2022 | 164. Developing a Healthy Relationship with Yourself | 00:55:25 | |
It can be difficult to be in a relationship if you don’t have a great deal of self-love. Remember that self-love is important for enjoying a happy, healthy, and respectful relationship. When you are secure, confident, and feeling good about yourself you feed positive energy into the space between you. One's relationship with oneself is crucial to proper development. In this episode, I have a conversation with Cathy Courtenay. Cathy is a relational coach and facilitator. She works with both couples and individuals who are striving to find deeper connection and intimacy both with themselves and each other. She helps her clients to see the patterns of relating that are holding them back from what they truly desire. Cathy also facilitates the practice of the Circling Method where she creates a safe space for people where they can stand in their truth and experience what is real for them. Responding to life’s call to find truth, Cathy is committed to a mission of helping uplift humanity and develop profound compassion and empathy in the world. “The relationship with myself determines everything.” - Cathy Courtenay Connect with Cathy Courtenay: Related Content: Other Podcast Episodes with Cathy Couples Communication: Circling Techniques

We also discuss why couples should be both friends and lovers and how to make a habit of creating moments that will sustain your relationship.

| 07 Sep 2021 | 143. The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Do You Dare to Change Yours? | 01:05:58 | |
“Our life is a story”, yet some of our individual stories that we tell ourselves also limit us which can therefore reinforce our core limiting beliefs of ourselves as well as others in our lives. These stories may have originated in childhood or conditioned by society and have stayed with us throughout our lives. Some of the stories we tell ourselves do serve us, yet there are those that hold us back. We need to ask ourselves, “Are these stories true?” “Is this still my reality?” and if so “Do I dare to change them?”. In this episode, I have a conversation with my friend Gregg Levoy and we dive into this topic. Gregg is a frequent seminar leader who holds workshops in the faith-based, human-potential, educational, governmental, and business industries. He is a Passionate Living Expert who has penned bestselling books such as Vital Signs: The Nature and Nurture of Passion as well as Callings: Finding and Following An Authentic Life which has been named as one of the Top 20 Career Publications by the Workforce Information Group. He regularly shares his insights and expertise as a frequent contributor to Psychology Today.

| 11 Aug 2020 | 104. The Loss of Touch | 00:44:41 | |
Gregg Levoy is a lecturer and seminar leader in the areas of business, education, and human potential. As a speaker, Gregg has delivered workshops and keynotes for organizations such as Microsoft and the Smithsonian. He is an eloquent writer whose books, Vital Signs: Discovering and Sustaining Your Passion for Life and Callings: Finding and Following an Authentic Life, reflect his mission of helping people find and sustain their passions in life and has been rated among the Workforce Information Group’s Top 20 Career Publications. In this episode, Gregg and I explore the challenges and grief we experience in the time of COVID-19 due to the loss of touch. We discuss how the pandemic has us in “stranger danger” mode and how avoiding physical touch in light of social distancing can affect us mentally and physically. We illustrate what it’s like to experience social distancing for a single person who lives alone and describe alternative ways we can satisfy our need for physical touch while we’re isolated. We also discuss how we, as a society, may need to relearn and re-approach how we consent to physical touch and how we can address the difficult emotions we feel due to the loss of physical connection.
“We’re grieving the loss of physical connection. That arm slung across the shoulder is worth its weight in gold. They’re not just toss-away gestures.” - Gregg Levoy

| 17 Mar 2020 | 83. The Importance of Rituals For Relationship Transformation | 00:57:05 | |
Trish Kruger is a professional counselor and therapist currently working at Blue Ridge Treks, a community of mental health therapists in Asheville, North Carolina. She is dual-licensed as a counselor and addiction therapist trained in trauma-informed care and motivational interviewing. With a diverse background in yoga, art, and entrepreneurship, Trish values mindfulness, expressive art, and talk therapy in her practice. In this episode, Trish and I discuss the role of rituals and ceremonies in transforming relationships. We share some of our personal experiences with bringing rituals into the transition periods of our lives and how they help us honor those processes. We illustrate how we work with clients and help them create rituals for divorce, coming of age, and others. We also discuss how meaningful rituals can help us heal in times of grief and difficulty and describe rituals from the perspective of neuroscience.
“There’s so much ritual hidden in our culture. If we can consciously bring ritual in times of transition, it can help people start the next phase in an opened, renewed way.” - Trish Kruger

| 04 Dec 2018 | 16. HeartShare: Understand and Manage Differences in Your Relationships | 00:45:00 | |
There’s a common expression that says, “You wouldn’t want to marry yourself!” This expression sounds funny to many, but if you look closely, it expresses a deeper issue people face in relationships. Having differences is inevitable, but whether you choose to be accepting or critical, curious or judgmental, interested or disrespectful towards the other person makes the difference in the status of your relationships.
On this episode, I discuss the differences in people’s relationships and how to navigate them through real-life stories and examples. I emphasize the importance of the “how” versus the “what” when negotiating differences, the difference among needs, wants, and preferences as well as how to effectively communicate using these. I also explain how to train your mind to see traits you can like and appreciate about the other person and discuss the difference between a complaint and criticism as well as ways of dealing with differences in money, expectations, and non-negotiables.
“Differences call for understanding and negotiating.” - Pripo Teplitsky

| 24 Mar 2020 | 84. HeartShare: The Fear Of Commitment | 00:35:47 | |
Commitment: that big ‘c’ word that causes cold feet for some people. In many ways, it’s a projection of future scenarios that a person creates in their mind. Will their partner change? Will they be able to make decisions for themselves? Will they be able to meet new people and do the things that they like? If you’re someone who constantly asks these questions before entering a relationship, you may have a fear of commitment. But whether you have this fear or not, it’s worthwhile to look inward and meditate on the meaning of commitment and your relationship with it. In today’s episode, I explore the fear of commitment, its causes, and the ways we can overcome it. I share my personal experience with the fear of commitment in my 20s and explain how that eventually led to my current relationship. I reveal how being afraid of boredom, change, and the lack of freedom can make a person not want to commit as well as underscore the importance of shared values in a relationship. I also discuss the vital role that creativity plays in relationships and how we can cultivate the courage to overcome our fear of commitment.
“When we fear commitment, we see a future where we feel trapped. We must focus on the kind of intimacy we want and envision ourselves responding to it.” - Pripo Teplitsky

| 12 May 2020 | 91. Intentions: Setting The Tone Of Your Relationships: Relationships in a Pandemic | 00:47:19 | |
Many people are well-acquainted with the power of intention to manifest their projects, their desires, even their businesses. But intent could be also be taken into our relationships and used to transform us into better individuals, partners, and human beings. At the beginning of our relationship, my wife, Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky, and I set the tone of our life together by creating our foundations through intent. Rainbow is the founder and owner of the Artsy Goddess Studio. A brilliant artist born and raised in Denmark, Rainbow brings creativity not only in her work but also in our relationship, where she cultivates ‘intentional coziness’. In this episode, Rainbow and I share stories of how we met, how we built the foundation of our relationship through intention, and the role of improv in our life as a couple. We discuss how we continue to create intent in our relationship, especially while we spend our time in quarantine. We illustrate how conscious intent impacts our everyday interactions and help us become the people we want to be. We also share how you can use visualization to create and manifest intent into your life as well as describe how your intentions program the brain.

| 22 Dec 2020 | 123. Relationship Sabotage | 00:58:43 | |
Whether we’re in the dating stage or have been married for many years, there are many ways that we conduct self-defeating behaviors that can undermine our relationships. Some of these behaviors are so deeply rooted in our history that it can become challenging to uncover. Yet, it is human to have self-sabotaging tendencies, stresses Cathy Courtenay, a Conscious Relating Coach who guides people through connecting with themselves. With all our complexities and nuances, it may look impossible to form intimate relationships; but, through self-awareness and healing work, Cathy stresses it is possible to overcome our inclinations to sabotage and create healthy, fulfilling relationships. In this episode, Cathy and I discuss the many ways we sabotage ourselves in our relationships, uncover their underlying causes, and share advice on how they can be managed. We dissect our personal challenges with self-sabotage in our relationships and discuss the steps we take to manage them. We also highlight the role of self-esteem and self-awareness in cultivating intimacy in relationships and healing self-sabotaging patterns.
“If you are self-sabotaging in your relationship to a point where it creates harm and damage, there may be a trigger from your past that needs to be looked at.” - Cathy Courtenay

| 22 Oct 2019 | 62. HeartShare: Having Privacy vs. Keeping Secrets | 00:32:06 | |
Honesty and open communication greatly contribute to the health of any relationship, especially intimate ones. Being open can be a struggle for couples who have different expectations about keeping secrets and where to draw the line when it comes to their privacy. Does the mantra “I’ll show mine if you show me yours” establish a healthy foundation of trust in a relationship? What kind of attitude should we have to foster and maintain trust in our relationships to save ourselves from all unnecessary hurt and heartache?
Today, I dive into the differences between privacy and secrecy. I share how my wife and I dealt with privacy and secrecy in our relationship and how these circumstances affected our openness towards each other. I explain how keeping secrets diminishes your ability to build strong connections with your partner. I also discuss the different types of infidelity that can occur between couples, aside from sexual infidelity, as well as what it takes for couples to gain back the trust they lost due to keeping secrets.
“Trusting one another to be in a relationship and to show up with trust and honesty can be one of the greatest risks that you take in a relationship.” - Pripo Teplitsky

He launched pockitudes.com in 2016 to share the practice he developed to support his mental well-being. Today he continues to develop new products and speak about his journey to positive mental wellness to groups throughout the country. We have a conversation about the power of gratitude and how that focus and practice can change states of depression, anxiety, shame, etc, to a more uplifting and positive way of living and behaving. Frederic shares his journey of turning his life in a different direction. The consistent practice can take many forms including the daily ritual of writing in a gratitude journal. We also discuss how appreciation and gratitude are complimentary feelings and the benefits can transform states of being. “The key, for me, is to let this tiny act become a habit, a habit to be grateful and choose happiness.” - Frederic Terral

| 15 Jan 2019 | 22. HeartShare: Talkaholics and How To Deal With Them | 00:34:26 | |
Have you ever felt trapped in a conversation with someone who can’t seem to run out of things to say? You start to wonder when the monologue will end so you can carry on with your life and make the most out of your time. If bumping into a talkaholic feels like your time has been stolen from you, then it’s time to speak the truth and be authentic in your encounters.
In today’s episode, I explain the different factors that contribute to the making of a talkaholic. I share stories of my interactions with people who talk excessively as well as how I have experimented on my responses under those circumstances. I also share strategies you can use when dealing with talkaholics, including actual phrases you can practice and experiment with to discover the best way for you to handle these situations.
“Don’t have the fear to interrupt. Allow yourself to do that - experiment with interrupting.” - Pripo Teplitsky

| 20 Feb 2024 | 205. Using Astrology in Relationships | 00:58:15 | |
Nastassja Noell is a lichenologist who traverses outside the fenced pastures of science. As a biologist, an artist, writer, and astrologer, Nastassja's work grapples with living in times of profound change. She feels that the Earth is birthing something new through each of us. Nastassja has studied astrology for the past 10 years, and has found that astrology provides a map of change, where each transit is a portal for each of us to become our own compass." In this episode, Nastassja and I have a conversation about using astrology to understand relationships. Astrology provides clues about human behavior and is a powerful tool for having more harmonious relationships. We discuss how Synastry is the art of relationship astrology. It is a fascinating and illuminating study of how individuals interact with one another. “Exploring astrological insights can offer valuable perspectives on building and maintaining healthy relationships. “ - Nastassja Noell Connect with Nastassja Noel: Nastassja's website is https://beinglichen.org.

| 29 Sep 2020 | 111. Foundational Trust in Long Term Relationships | 00:55:46 | |
Questions about the meaning of trust and how couples can establish it in their relationships frequently come up in my practice as a couples counselor. Trust is a cornerstone of long-term relationships. My wife, Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky, is a fashion designer, artist, and owner of the Artsy Goddess Studio. In the 25 years I have shared with her, trust - in each other, and ourselves as individuals - has carried us through better or worse. Part of Rainbow’s mission is to help heal ourselves and the world we live in. And sincere apologies, she says, not only bring healing to couples but are also an essential ingredient to a relationship’s longevity.
In today’s episode, Rainbow and I emphasize the importance of trust in relationships. We discuss the value of trusting yourself in bringing the kind of partner you want to be in a relationship. We share some of the challenges and issues we have navigated throughout our life together and underscore the need to trust that each person will help move the relationship through conflict. We also illustrate the power of cultivating friendship with your partner and how appreciation can drive a relationship through the years.
“Apologizing well is a huge key to good long-term relationships. It brings so much healing.” - Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky

| 10 Mar 2020 | 82. Letting Go of Family Relationships: Whether Toxic Or Not | 00:45:22 | |
Families are complicated. As much as we want to always be there and support our loved ones, sometimes our relationships could be toxic. It’s difficult to draw a boundary between you and a relative, but how do you know it’s time to cut off ties with a family member? Or how do you know when to maintain the relationship? My wife, Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky, the founder & owner of Artsy Goddess Studio, has her own experiences of challenging family relationships where issues and misunderstandings have stacked on one another. In this episode, Rainbow and I answer a listener’s question about drawing boundaries with an important family member and explain why it’s important to not force conflict resolution and instead opt for cultivating space. We share our experiences and vulnerabilities with family issues and cutting-off friends and relatives. We describe how toxic behavior in the family affected us as children. We reveal the common characteristics that define toxic behavior such as manipulation and lying, as well as illustrate how guilt can prevent us from letting go of toxic people. We also discuss the importance of looking inwards when considering challenging relationships and cutting ties with family.

| 12 Nov 2019 | 65. Time Apart vs. Time Together: What's Healthy? | 00:51:06 | |
Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky is a talented artist who creates tapestries and paintings from a variety of materials. Born and raised in Denmark, she now runs her up-cycled clothes design business in the USA, Artsy Goddess Studio, in addition to facilitating voice-empowering workshops in Black Mountain, NC, co-facilitating couples' workshops with me, and hosting a women’s circle in our home. Yvonne does many things outside of our marriage and remains open and curious about life. Doing her own things means she spends a lot of time outside of our relationship. Spending time apart is as vital as spending time together in a relationship. After all, some space creates the spark. Yet many couples fear being apart, with one person (or both people) in the relationship worrying that the other might find something—or someone—better. And, at the other end of the spectrum, some couples make little time to feed their relationship. How do you find that sweet spot, that balance between being alone and being together? In today’s episode, Yvonne and I discuss how we navigated as a couple in the past 25 years and found the sweet spot between spending time apart and together in our relationship. We discuss the challenges we faced in maintaining that balance and how we managed it. We share how our relationship has changed through the years and how we adapted to those changes. We stress the importance of spending alone time, what we do when we’re together and apart, and how couples can improve the time they spend together. We also share something that’s unique to our relationship and why we maintain it.
“It feels so enriching to be away from each other for a day, two days, or more.” – Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky

| 20 Oct 2020 | 114. Codependency | 00:49:16 | |
Codependency is rather insidious: though many people are familiar with the term, they don’t know how it manifests in families and impacts relationships. Awareness, Corey Costanzo stresses, is key to healing it. Corey is a licensed addictions counselor and bodywork therapist, somatic experiencing practitioner, a master didgeridoo player, and a good friend of mine. Together with his wife, Robin, Corey co-owns Still Point Wellness, a premier Esalen Massage and Salt Water Floatation spa in Asheville, North Carolina. Today, Corey and I explore the hallmarks of a dysfunctional family and how it breeds codependency. We illustrate the dynamics of codependent relationships and their children and explain why dysfunctional families find it difficult to navigate difficult emotions and situations. We describe the characteristics of codependent behaviors and illustrate their impact on relationships. We also share our experiences in dealing with codependent relationships and emphasize the role of awareness in breaking the cycle of codependency.

| 12 Jan 2021 | 126. The Anger Habit | 01:00:08 | |
Whether we are its origin or its receiver, we all experience anger throughout our lives. While anger isn’t necessarily “bad,” it is a critical emotion to understand, for what we do with anger has the opportunity to bring our loved ones closer or push them away from us. And like other emotions, we become more accustomed to anger the more we express it without restraint, creating a toxic habit that can lead to contempt in our relationships. Anger becomes more difficult to manage when it becomes a habit, for habits are executed without much conscious effort. Although the anger habit can be hard-wired in a person’s brain, bodywork therapist and Still Point Wellness owner Corey Costanzo suggests that a person can break free from anger’s chains through awareness, conscious work, and education. In this episode, Corey and I define anger as the need to be in control of external factors. We reveal how helplessness leads to frustration and, eventually, anger. We highlight different means of expressing anger in a healthy, non-destructive way. We discuss how anger impacts relationships and creates codependent dynamics in family systems. We also uncover the other emotions behind the mask of anger and underscore the power of appreciation as an antidote to the anger habit. “Anger is an emotional pathway that gets hard-wired in the brain. With a bit of awareness, work, and information, you can shift out of the anger habit.” - Corey Costanzo

| 18 Feb 2020 | 79. What Makes A Relationship Worth Doing The Hard Work | 00:56:10 | |
At a very young age, Cathy Courtenay felt an urge to find truth and has since been living her life responding to its call. Cathy brings her heart into everything that she does, whether it’s leading the Art of Circling, Body-Mind Centering, or working with her clients as a Conscious Relating Coach. She helps people fully stand in what’s real for them, and all of her work ultimately teaches authenticity and sovereignty that creates a greater space for a love that helps uplift humanity. Cathy joins me today to discuss the elements that make a relationship worth the hard work. We share some of our professional and personal and experiences with learning the meaning of hard work in relationships. We reveal why individuals need to understand their own values and find common relationship values. We illustrate the importance of self-awareness and communication skills, especially during conflict situations. We also explain why hard work in relationships doesn’t need to be a struggle as well as highlight why you need to ask yourself if you become a better person through the relationship. “It’s a spiritual experience to connect with a partner who’s deeply appreciating, and seeing and loving who they are in the world.” - Cathy Courtenay

| 26 Jan 2021 | 128. Revealing Is Healing: Embracing Vulnerability | 01:02:34 | |
There is something beautiful and affirming about being truly seen and known. To be understood and accepted for who we are, despite our flaws and shortcomings, is a common aspiration in relationships, one which requires us to embrace vulnerability. Greggy Levoy, speaker and author of Vital Signs and Callings, suggests that the choice to show your cards and lower your defenses - despite the fear and anxiety of shame and losing control - is the kind of vulnerability that builds trust and safety in relationships. And when we embrace our vulnerabilities, we open ourselves to healing.
Today, Gregg and I contemplate the power of vulnerability. We discuss vulnerability’s capacity to create trust between relationships and encourage others to embrace their vulnerability. We explain how vulnerability feels like weakness when considered from the inside out but looks like courage when examined from the outside in. We describe how we can default to vulnerability through compassion and the difficulty of accepting love and appreciation. We also highlight the healing power of vulnerability and underscore how we can create space for someone when we are on vulnerability’s receiving end.
“Vulnerability and trust are intimately related. By lowering your drawbridge, you encourage your partner to do the same.” - Gregg Levoy

| 31 Mar 2020 | 85. Navigating Your Relationships: Relationships in a Pandemic | 00:57:57 | |
Human beings are resilient creatures. Amidst the fear, stress, and anxiety brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, people relate to each other kindly and meaningfully, from checking-in online to singing together on balconies. But social distancing and quarantines can challenge even the happiest and most stable relationships. My wife Yvonne Teplitsky—the founder & owner of Artsy Goddess Studio—and I have been spending time in quarantine together. Like many couples in quarantine around the world, we’ve had our share of ups and downs while sharing this experience. In today’s episode, Yvonne and I share our experiences with spending time together while being self-quarantined and how we’re navigating it as a couple. We discuss how we cancelled a trip to Florida in light of COVID-19 and how a quarantine can exacerbate relationship issues. We highlight the importance of communication and intentionally making space to talk about fears and anxiety about the crisis. We also discuss how appreciation can keep us grounded and connected to our partners as well as illustrate how allowing ourselves to feel joy can help us in these trying times.
“It’s like we’ve all been turned upside-down and shaken. Everything is getting reset and we’re asking: “What am I about now and how do I want to continue?’” - Yvonne Teplitsky

| 26 May 2020 | 93. HeartShare: Men And Emotional Honesty | 00:36:30 | |
When your partner asks you about what you’re feeling, what’s your typical response? Do you attempt to change the subject or joke around? Freeze for a while? Or maybe start blaming your partner? Everyone can find it challenging to open up their inner world of emotions - but a lot of men find it particularly difficult to do. It’s understandable why the topic of emotions and feelings can be puzzling for men. Yet, emotional honesty is a crucial aspect of cultivating intimacy, connection, and trust in a relationship; it’s an essential tool that everybody needs to develop to become relational heroes.
In today’s episode, I discuss the difficulty men experience when they share their emotional world in their relationships. I reveal the significance of emotional honesty in cultivating connection and intimacy in relationships. I explain why men avoid the topic of emotions and opening up to their partners and explain how a person should respond when someone shares their feelings, despite the difficulty of expressing them. I also highlight the importance of cultivating emotional truth within our friendships and share a story about a friend who honestly shared their feelings and emotions.
“This path of emotional honesty is the way of the relational hero.” - Pripo Teplitsky

| 25 Sep 2018 | 02. Alternative Relationships | 00:48:31 | |
Lee Warren is an herbalist, writer, teacher, and food activist with an avid interest in rural wisdom, alternative relationships, sustainable economics, and women’s issues. She is the co-founder, designer, and builder of Earthaven Ecovillage, an off-grid, sustainable-built, co-housing neighborhood in Black Mountain, North Carolina. She is the founder and Manager of Imani Farm, a 5-acre pasture-based co-op farm as well as the Managing Partner of S.O.I.L. - the School of Integrated Living - which teaches organic food production, regenerated systems, and community living.
Lee joins me today to discuss the dynamics of monogamous and alternative relationships, why she believes many first-marriages often result in divorce and the importance of being open to experimentation and exploring new possibilities. We discuss the difference between open relationships and polyamory and the qualities that make up healthy, loving, and successful relationships. She explains why she believes there’s a lack of abundance regarding love, touch, sexual expression, and sensuality in today’s society and culture. She also explains how your intrapersonal relationship impacts your interpersonal relationships and how “emotional foreplay” can improve relational communication and understanding between men and women.
“We need to be experimenting on every level.” - Lee Warren

| 22 Jan 2019 | 23. HeartShare: Increase Your Emotional Intelligence | 00:38:42 | |
Respect, trust, and honesty are some of the factors that contribute to a healthy relationship. But there is one essential ingredient in the success of any relationship that many do not consider - emotional intelligence. To be able to understand and identify your emotions. To manage them well as you respond to the emotions of others. That beats being the top performer in class or at work because these abilities allow you to impact one of the things that matter most in life - your relationships. Today, I discuss what emotional intelligence (EQ) is and the impact that having a high EQ can make in your life and the people around you. I share tips on how to show emotional intelligence in various relationship aspects such as with partners, colleagues, and children. I explain how men can contribute to their relationships in a positive way when they understand and increase their EQ. I also share why self-awareness is crucial in developing emotional intelligence and why self-regulation is the most important thing you can do to make the world a better place.
“Developing emotional intelligence is the very first step to relationship success.” - Pripo Teplitsky

| 08 Oct 2019 | 60. HeartShare: Relationship Advice: Rethink Giving Advice | 00:31:51 | |
It’s an instinct for us to give advice - whether we are asked for it or not - as we show care and concern for others, especially to those who are close to our hearts. Our intentions may be good, but more often than not, giving unsolicited advice causes more harm than good. Learning how to shift our mindset about showing care and offering help as well as learning other life skills can prove to be more helpful over providing a “quick fix” through unsolicited advice.
Today, I discuss the difference between solicited and unsolicited advice and why we should reconsider giving the latter. I discuss why people feel the need to offer unsolicited advice and the role that timing plays in providing help to others. I also share how I deal with unsolicited advice in my personal and professional life and share tips on how to handle advice given by people you love.
“Advice assumes that our perspective is the right one and that the way that we see things will work perfectly for others.” - Pripo Teplitsky

| 05 Apr 2022 | 157. A Healthy Divorce | 00:52:59 | |
Separation and Divorce can be an emotional difficult time. The emotions of sadness, anger, grief and fear are typically experienced. Most divorces are rife with conflict among separating and divorcing partners. It takes a tremendous toll not only on the people divorcing but also their children, family and friends. Is it possible to have a healthy divorce? One that honors not only each person but the union that was once filled with love and hope. Consciously Uncoupling is a mindful, respectful and loving approach to ending a relationship. In this episode I have a conversation with Becky Boisvert. An inveterate adventurer, Becky (she/her) has grown to see life itself as the adventure. When that adventure beckoned the transition out of her marriage, Becky created a process to help guide her and her former spouse, Sanne, through the terrain of separation and eventual divorce. Many who get to know Becky and Sanne are deeply inspired by the ease and consciousness with which they engaged this process. Since then, Becky has begun coaching individuals and couples through threshold experiences in life like the lead-in to marriage, divorce, health crises, and more, as well as holding mediations for more deeply embedded conflict. Becky is deeply devoted to supporting herself and others in transforming the grit and hardships in life into opportunities for healing.

| 26 Jul 2022 | 165. Money and Relationships | 00:57:40 | |
Shaun Rawls - is highly sought-after keynote speaker and author of “F”-IT-LESS - Rawls spent 25 years working in real estate, ultimately building Atlanta’s #1 residential real estate firm, The Rawls Group of Keller Williams. Having met many of his professional goals, Rawls made a deliberate choice to shift his attention out of the daily operations of his firm and into new ways he could add even more value to others. Through his work and book, Shaun helps other people evaluate and define what’s important for them and outline actions so they can work on being the best version of themselves. In this episode, Shaun and I discuss different ways of dealing with money in our relationships that can bring us more understanding or further apart. It’s well known that money is one of the most common subjects for couples to argue about so how you talk about money is key. We also touch on concept of “financial infidelity” and why it is detrimental to building trust and reliability and why having shared values and goals around money can be key to building relational health. “Keeping financial points in a relationship is a dead end game” - Shaun Rawls Connect with Shaun Rawls:

| 24 Nov 2020 | 119. Codependency: Ways To Overcome | 00:54:46 | |
Once a person recognizes codependent patterns in their relationships, the next important step is to learn how to overcome them. Our friendships can be a source of good modeling and influence our journey through healing codependency in our lives. My friend, Corey Costanzo, is one such friend who encourages my positivity in the world. He is a licensed addictions counselor, bodywork therapist, and somatic experiencing practitioner who owns Still Point Wellness, the premier Esalen Massage and Salt Water Floatation spa in Asheville, North Carolina. Through the years, Corey and I have worn many hats together: as colleagues who consult with one another and as fathers who celebrate each other’s parenting. Ours is a friendship that has seen joy and appreciation - truly, a fine piece in overcoming codependent tendencies. In this episode, Corey and I discuss the hallmarks of codependent patterns and behaviors in relationships and the tools a person needs to break them. We discuss how childhood upbringing and family dynamics can inform codependent behavior later in life and illustrate how friendships can support the healing of codependent relationships. We highlight the role of education in raising awareness of codependent patterns as well as overcoming them. We also underscore the power of the breath in realizing, managing, and healing codependent behavior and explain how meditative practices can help us self-soothe difficult emotions.
“The antidote is loving oneself, self-respect, and self-awareness.” - Corey Costanzo

| 08 Dec 2020 | 121. HeartShare: Contempt - The Biggest Predictor of Relationship Failure | 00:31:20 | |
If appreciation is the number one relationship booster, what is the biggest thing that can undermine a relationship? The answer: contempt - that pattern of feelings and behaviors that expresses disgust and scorn towards a person or a group of people, ultimately dehumanizing them. The severity of contempt’s impact on people can make it seem like it’s easy to recognize; yet, contempt enters relationships as subtle as poison administered in careful, incremental drops. In this episode, I discuss how contempt can usher a relationship to its failure. I share John Gottman’s definition of contempt and describe what causes it to sneak into intimate relationships. I highlight some behaviors that cultivate the seeds of contempt and explain why it’s so difficult to resolve. I also reveal how we can heal and reverse contempt in relationships and discuss how kindness and compassion can be antithetical to contempt.
“Contempt is a deep, slow poison in relationships. It goes for the kill by attacking a person’s sense of self.” - Pripo Teplitsky

| 21 Nov 2023 | 199. The impact of Trauma on Relationships | 00:57:50 | |
Corey Costanzo is the co-owner of Asheville’s Still Point Wellness Spa, a licensed addiction counselor, trauma specialist, licensed massage therapist, master didgeridoo player, colleague, and good friend. In this episode, Corey and I have a conversation about how trauma effects relationships. Living through traumatic events may result in expectations of danger, betrayal, or potential harm within new or old relationships. People who experience trauma may become anxious or frightened in relation to others, experience them as having power or control, or easily feel abandoned or rejected. Still, others may become overprotective or dependent. Though it’s challenging, you can heal the trauma and change the effect it has on your life and relationships. “We are not made the same, and we all heal in our own way, our own time."

| 05 Feb 2019 | 25. Women Working in Male Dominated Workplaces | 00:42:51 | |
Mana Vermeulen-McLeod is a fascinating woman who can talk about everything from hairstyles to the different types of chainsaws. She is a tree worker, carpenter, and conflict mediator at Earthaven Ecovillagewhere she has resided since 2007. Originally from Holland, Mana is an advocate for The Work that Reconnects, a staff member at the Southeast Wise Women’s Herbal Conference, and a student adviser for Gaia University. After a decade of being part of her community and facilitating conflict resolution, Mana currently focuses on supporting and helping others create the life they want, grounded in authenticity, through her life coaching practice.
Mana joins me today to share her experience as a woman working in male-dominated workplaces and discuss the physical challenges women face in the tree-working and carpentry industry. We dive into stories on the challenges she and her husband faced while working together as colleagues in the tree industry and how their relationship grew and flourished. We also discuss the other side of the coin on this topic as Mana flips questions back at me, since my work in therapy is a female dominated industry where I use a lot of feminine energy such as nurturing, listening, and empathy.
“Masculine energy the container. The feminine energy is what is inside of that container that gets to blossom if it’s in a good and safe container.” - Mana Vermeulen-McLeod

My son, Zander Teplitsky, is currently living in the Netherlands while attending college at Maastricht University. Zander and his girlfriend, Emma, recently came home to visit over summer break, and we’ve shared so many interesting conversations.
Zander joins me today for a father-son conversation about our relationship and how we cultivated our relationship through honesty, communication, and appreciation. We discuss how we continually inspire and motivate each other and why Zander inspired me to start a podcast. We discuss why it’s important for parents to cultivate a level of friendship with their children, the qualities Zander believes helps our relationship thrive, and how communication, honesty, and appreciation helps build trust and respect between parents and their children. We also discuss how allowing your children to make mistakes helps cultivate a sense of freedom while enabling them to learn and grow independently as well as how Zander developed his positive outlook on life and his perspective on the world.
“We try really hard every day to be as present with each other, and as loving, and as honest as we can.” - Zander Teplitsky
