Even while I'm taking some time off, I want to continue showing up for you and pursuing my passion, which is to help people break free from societal norms and rethink everything they know about relationships.

So, to keep the conversations alive, I've taken a look back at my two years of episodes and noticed some exciting themes emerging. Each week, during my hiatus, I'll post a specially curated playlist of episodes centered on a specific topic. Then you'll find links to those episodes in the show notes to help you dive deeper into areas that might resonate with where you are in your journey.

This week's theme isrelationship with self.
I'm starting here before divinginto other relationship
structures, because I believethis is the most important
relationship you have.
When you cultivate therelationship with yourself,
you're better able to identify,understand and communicate your

needs, wants and desires.
The first episode in thisplaylist is episode five, your
number one relationship therelationship with self.
This is the first episode Italk about the importance of
cultivating a healthy, lovingrelationship with self.
Our society tells us that we'llfind our happiness outside of

(01:44):
ourselves, through ourrelationships, careers and
overall life.
We hear that when we have agreat relationship, we can
finally be happy.
However, the empowering truthis that it's actually the other
way around.
When we cultivate therelationship with ourselves and
find acceptance, compassion andlove internally, it begins to

(02:04):
show up in our world through ourrelationships, careers and
overall life.
This episode explains thisconcept and why it's so
important.
The next episode I'm going totag is episode six.
How do I get to know myself?
In this episode, I give ideasabout how you can begin
cultivating the relationshipwith yourself.
Give ideas about how you canbegin cultivating the

(02:27):
relationship with yourself.
When you are your most intimaterelationship, you're more aware
of your true thoughts, ideasand feelings.
This allows you to be yourauthentic self in your other
relationships, which isimperative to move into a more
conscious, intentionalexperience.
The next episode I'm going totag is episode 14.
Is it selfish to love yourself?
In this episode, I look at theidea of selfishness versus

(02:50):
selfless.
When is it beneficial to beselfless and when is it
important to be selfish?
If you forego your own healthmental, physical, emotional or
spiritual for someone else's,you begin to experience a life
lived for everyone else exceptyourself, which inevitably
becomes a life lived for otherswhile betraying yourself.

This episode explores thisconcept to help you in your own
inquiry.

of my favorites, episode 118,let's Be Real With Our
Relationship Experiences.

non-monogamous is so much aboutthe relationship with self and
self-inquiry as part ofrelational fulfillment.
Her daily journal promptsencourage and support the
