85. Staying Connected With Humans And Your Humanity In A Technological World

Look, there are plenty of pros to the advancements in technology, especially when it comes to communication. AND it is also important to recognize where these advancements are actually making it difficult for us to connect with others and with ourselves in a very human way. We go over the common challenges that intimate relationships run up against as the world gets more tech-centric, as well as some of the pitfalls that can happen when AI is too heavily relied on. What are you facing in your relationships when it comes to the role that these different advancements play? How are you intentionally staying connected to your own humanity and to the humanity of others in your life? Send us a textSending you so much love!Love our show? Please rate and review!

Boundaries will inevitably come up in your self-development/personal growth work. It is a buzz word that often draws people into this realm of exploration, but how do we use boundaries for the purpose of expanding our personal growth?A fine question that we go into today and use examples from our own lives, and from the sessions we have with clients as they navigate relational challenges. Send us a textSending you so much love!Love our show?

Intuition. A gut feeling. Inner knowing. Whatever the word, whatever the phrase, let's talk about getting connected to that (often) soft voice within yourself and how that relates to any and all relationships.There is a lot of noise in the world from external sources and it can be so difficult to know what action to take or what choice to make. And then, maybe you do have some clarity around what your intuition is telling you, but then you run up against the barriers of taking action in that direction for a variety of reasons.We are exploring the ins and outs of being led by your intuition in this very loud world, as well as what happens when listening to that inner voice has you actually feel restricted instead of free. Send us a textSending you so much love!Love our show?

Okay, first off, what the heck is shadow work? We go over it in the episode, but overall, this is the work that involves diving deeper into what is beneath the surface for us in the land of the subconscious. Assumptions, preconceived notions, beliefs, and stories that often run the show in our relationships.When we are able to bring awareness to these challenges, we have the opportunity to address them with partners in a way that creates transformation for all involved. We are going into the depths of what we have seen in queer relationships in this realm, and what is possible when you are willing to face the things that we have pushed into the darkness. P.S.

Conflict is something most people run away from in relationships, but we know it is inevitable because well, we are humans. The aftermath of conflict leads us into that season of repair, which could be one afternoon or perhaps could be a couple of years, depending on what the conflict entailed. Repair entails a lot more vulnerability and tender moments in a relationship, and can lead to micro moments of conflict too. The conflict has not been resolved, but you are working on it together and you still want to feel connected...so how do you do that? And what does that even mean to be connected while repairing a relational conflict? We talk on a variety of blocks that we have seen in clients when it comes to actually engaging with the repair process, as well as some simple ways to connect with your partner(s) in the process. It is often messy, but even the mess can still hold openings to deeper connection and love. P.S. Wanting to sharpen your skills in the art of difficult conversations and conflict?

We know it for ourselves. We hear it from clients and our friends in the queer community. There is A LOT happening in America with the political system and it is, understandably, creating a lot of unrest and fear. To start, you are not alone in any of this. Even when it feels like you must be, you are not. And we hope that this episode gives you some practical tips to tend to the basics of what can help you regulate your nervous system a bit more on a daily level, as well as what can help to move forward even when it feels so very uncertain. P.S.

Y'all, we are in quite the challenging times. Something that we have been noticing more and more in sessions with our clients is the importance and growing desire for queer friends and community, which makes sense that we would be seeking that out as the challenges in America grow for queer folks. We dive into the meanings of friendship and community, which we both have different takes on so you will get to hear some different perspectives on these topics. As always, we invite you into looking at what these concepts mean for yourself and what you are wanting in your life. And, if queer community and friendship is on the menu for you, always remember that the door to the QueerLove Community is open to you! Send us a textSending you so much love!Love our show?

Exploring your gender is a tender and vulnerable experience, with an understandable amount of concern that is growing under the new administration in the US. All that said, this brings up a lot within the context of a romantic partnership for all partners involved and is something that we navigate a lot with our coaching clients. What are some of the factors at play here and what can help in addressing different pieces of this exploration? We share some challenges that we have witnessed with clients and from our own experiences, as well as some of the beautiful, connective moments we have seen come from this exploration in partnership too. You are never alone. Send us a textSending you so much love!Love our show?
