The predictable pushback: what if he cheats or leaves?Dr. Cowan has lived on both sides. He’s been divorced once and has now been with his wife for 27 years. He’s also blunt that he didn’t care what happened to his ex-wife financially, and he’s at peace with how he handled it.In his view, without merged finances it isn’t a marriage, and a lot of people getting married should really just be hanging out.I also tell him what an email he sent me a couple of years ago did to my relationship patterns.Stay for the donut shop story. Dr. Cowan was living with another woman when he met his wife, knew immediately, and four days later was figuring out how to leave so he could marry the love of his life.You’ll learn:[0:00] Introduction[6:04] Why I want my daughters to marry true providers[9:15] If you haven’t merged finances, you’ve never been married[16:42] If Tom died or left, would Linda be taken care of[27:48] The email quiz that changed how I see marriage[35:30] Freedom is the paradox at the core of commitment[39:33] Selection bias and the fears women bring into marriage[45:43] A marriage needs a shared project, not shared ideology[51:11] You travel for a feeling, not an intellectual insight[59:37] Kindness is the quality you can smell in a person[1:02:42] Meeting Linda at a donut shop and knowing she was the one👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

Access Kelly's Bio Marriage Live Stream here. Get access to Kelly's Audacious Embodiment 2 recordings here.Anyone who thinks libido only declines after menopause should listen to this interview.Kimberly is a sexological bodyworker, Somatic Experiencing practitioner, and author of The Fourth Trimester, Call of the Wild, and the forthcoming Erotic Seasons, and she has worked with women across birth, postpartum, and menopause long enough to call the standard midlife story out as incomplete.I open with Marion Woodman’s map of a woman’s life, which folds maiden and mother into one phase and places a virgin stage before the crone. The virgin, in this framing, is a woman whole unto herself, and it is the stage most of us are hitting around midlife without any language for what is happening.Kimberly describes moving through menopause without hormone therapy, tracking forty-eight so-called symptoms, and what two years on the other side of it has done to her libido and her sense of self. She also talks about the sexual revolution some women experience as they enter menopause, and the grief nobody warns you about.Her erotic awakening involved a photographer in Rio and a shot of cachaça she turned down, then wished she hadn’t. Why she did it, and what it unlocked, is a story worth hearing in her own words.You’ll learn:[0:00] Introduction[6:19] Marion Woodman and the forgotten virgin stage of a woman’s life[10:34] Why you can’t be a crone until you’ve lived seventy years[14:40] Walking the virgin stage single versus coupled[17:59] Moving through menopause without any hormone therapy[24:50] Aliveness as the backdrop for every fracture and rupture[28:38] Our particular defenses against feeling good[32:57] Writing past trauma culture without making women victims[38:27] Kimberly’s erotic awakening and the nude photo[46:43] The messiness and rawness that is also erotic life[49:13] Being overtaken by Erotic Seasons and choosing aliveness over perfection[52:39] Choosing what you genuinely love over what’s good for you[1:00:51] Everything always works out as a different access to life 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

Access Kelly's Bio Marriage Live Stream here. In a difficult co-parenting dynamic, it’s easy to assume you’re the more evolved one, and that assumption is exactly what keeps you stuck. This week’s audacious ask came from a woman who wants cordial, drama-free co-parenting with her ex and asked me how to pull it off without getting pulled into his reactivity.My answer starts somewhere uncomfortable: the commitment to not speak ill of your son’s father. It’s a healing practice for you, your inner masculine, and your father line. And it pairs with a second practice: looking at how often you position yourself as the better parent, the more stable one, the more spiritual one.Family constellation work places you and your ex on the same line, not in a hierarchy. From that seat, your choices become visible. You can see the bait when it’s dangled, and you can stay trained on what you came to ask for, instead of defending yourself into another round of drama.Through a simple scheduling conversation that goes sideways, you’ll see the specific move that keeps you with yourself when he changes the subject. If raising your son means staying linked to a man you’d rather not deal with, this is the reframe that changes the practice.You’ll learn:[0:00] Introduction[2:31] The audacious ask about drama-free co-parenting after divorce[4:06] Co-parenting as a growth crucible the Mom actually chose[6:04] Resolving superiority and the paradigm of better and worse[8:13] Family constellation puts her and the ex on the same line[10:04] Not taking the bait of the drama[12:17] The line between trusting someone entirely and not at all 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

Alex became exceptionally good at repair, and it changed nothing. While his body told him they were making progress, her nervous system was still telling her she wasn't safe.He asks the men he works with three questions. Are you stronger than your partner? More physically capable? More capable of violence? Every man answers yes to all three, and taken seriously, that answer changes what a man is responsible for in the room.I believe women are the custodians of their own experience. Alex believes men have to self-initiate first. The most useful parts of this conversation live in that friction.We also get into why the car is a diagnostic for polarity, why the calmest man in the room is the most dangerous, and why regulating your nervous system gives entrepreneurs more capacity than any biohack.You’ll learn:[0:00] Introduction[6:36] How an ultimatum catalyzed Alex's reclamation as a man [9:44] The hidden pattern in many heterosexual relationships[14:57] The biological reality of a woman's nervous system under threat[22:20] What shifted in his wife after he committed[25:51] Micro choices a woman makes in every moment[31:30] Whether Katie could have done anything to induce Alex's shift [39:13] The nice guy versus the man in his dark masculine[44:03] Dominance of oneself, not of her[52:35] Why successful entrepreneurs so often fail at relationships[1:00:28] Always putting out fires means you're probably the arsonist[1:02:55] Contained masculine energy as a healing force in The Brotherhood 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

Access Kelly's Bio Marriage Live Stream here. How can you activate your true feminine energy?My guest Nina Lombardo teaches conscious intimacy, polarity, and sacred feminine practice at Way of Devotion, and she's one of the few voices in this space who refuses to sell an outcome.We start with her own arc from what she calls "puddleness" into a woman with a spine, and how that reshaped the way she now teaches women coming from the opposite direction: armored, ambitious, over-functioning.Nina makes a distinction between a need and neediness that reorganized how I think about asking my partner for anything.There's a piece on choosing partners who conveniently can't meet your depth, because staying hidden feels safer than being fully seen. She doesn't let anyone off the hook here, including herself.Later, Nina walks through what it actually looks like to express anger through the body as an invitation instead of an accusation, and why a whimper in real time beats resentment every single time.If you've done therapy, done the healing, and still can't figure out why intimacy feels stuck, the answer she offers is uncomfortable in the best way.You’ll learn:[0:00] Introduction[5:24] The heroine's journey and a woman's maturational arc[10:07] The needy woman is the entitled woman[21:53] Relaxing into desire as its own animate force[28:28] Having a witness exposes where we're performing and hiding vulnerability[41:57] Expressing feelings through the body rather than words[49:09] Responding to him in the moment, versus reacting to the past[55:04] Exposing your fullness to see whether he meets you[1:02:18] Shifting from masculine mode into your feminine center of gravity[1:09:35] Relaxing into subtle realms without agenda 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?
