163. Can We Agree to Disagree with Our Partner Jun 28, 2022

Show notes

Agreeing to disagreeing may be essential in our relationships. We also need to know to how to work effective compromises when we differ. Getting away from the negative mindset of "right" and "wrong" is essential. Disagreeing in fact is beneficial in healthy relationships if done correctly. Disagreeing can provide an opportunity to address issues, get insights and understandings and most of all can strengthen intimacy.

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.

"Agreeing to Disagree can take the fight out of the energy therefore making more room for feeling that there is an "us" to take care of""

- Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky

162. HeartShare: Relationship Red Flags Jun 14, 2022

Show notes

In this solocast I talk about some red flags to be aware of in your relationships. Not every red flag a sign that the relationship won't work, but understanding your non-negotiable one will help you to understand whether to stick around or not. So it is important to understand the difference workable differences and non- negotiables. Recognizing our own relationship patterns is key. Do you find yourself repeating the same old patterns or attracting the same kinds of people? Does this person communicate effectively and display emotional awareness and intelligence...and for that mtter do you?

"Knowing yourself is key. If you don't deeply know yourself, how the heck are you going to deeply know another person" - Pripo Teplitsky

157. A Healthy Divorce Apr 05, 2022

Show notes

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.

"If we came together once in love, we have the power to uncouple with dignity"

- Becky Boisvert

156. Destigmatizing Addiction: A Family's Journey Mar 22, 2022

Show notes

The public health crisis of addiction and overdoses continue to rise. Fentanyl poisoning now ranks No.1 on the biggest list of killers of 18-45 yr. olds in the United States, for the last three years by a wide margin. Destigmatizing mental illness and addiction is crucial to empower those suffering to reach out for help. Many people do not understand and also fail to educate themselves on the importance of mental health and due to stereotypes and misrepresentations, some people do not understand that addiction is a disease and believe that people may even choose addiction. Much of the stigma comes not only from friends, family, the public, and the judicial system, but many believe that it is a moral character flaw and fail to see people struggling with addiction through the lens of integrity of individuals as whole human beings.

In this episode I have a conversation with my next-door neighbors Eileen and Barry Cook whose daughter Catie died recently at the age of 31 of fentanyl poisoning after struggling with addiction for over 15 years. We talk about their journey as a family and a couple in navigating the rough waters of emotion and how they had different ways of coping and addressing their daughter's addiction and ultimately the respect and compassion that grew in their hearts.

"Your journey is your journey and it's okay to feel your feelings"

- Eileen Cook

155. Having Your Partner's Back Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

What does it mean to have your partner's back? The feeling of emotional safety and the knowing that you can rely on your partner in many ways, especially at time of stress, overwhelm and crises is a cornerstone to this support and safety. Relieving each other's "load" and lending support is a hallmark of healthy dependence. Emotional safety is also taken away and eroded when partners don't have each other's back.

"Some people seem to roll easier in the habit of complaining than of highlighting what is good about their partner or their child"

- Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky

154. When to Let It Go Feb 22, 2022

Show notes

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?

"Pretending to let it go is just another form of avoidance"

- Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky
