Empowered Connection Podcast

Themes: Romance, Love, Real Love, Valentine’s Day, Society, Romantic Fantasy, Partnership, Self Love, Relationships

In this solo podcast episode, Empowered Connection Podcast host Damodar Cordua presents a critique on society’s over infatuation with and unreal fantasy of romantic love.  This critique finds its ultimate expression in the stereotyped ideals of the Hallmark holiday, Valentine’s Day.

In this exploration, Damodar reveals many of the unhealthy perspectives our society’s ideals & pressures around love & romance - ones that block not only an empowered connection with another person, but also prevent a deeper relationship with our own selves.

Finally, Damodar presents a reframe that gifts the listener three ways that we can “redo” Valentine’s Day and these societal scripts that empower our relationship to: 1) the idea of romantic partnership 2) our relationships with all others in our lives and 3) the romance of many lifetimes, the relationship with our own self

EMPOWERED CONNECTION

Themes: Relationships, Friendship, Family, Partnership, Acceptance, Unconditional Love, Real Love, Self Empowerment, Authenticity, Boundaries

In this solo podcast episode Empowered Connection podcast host Damodar Cordua sheds light on the relationships in our lives - friendships, family, partnerships and more - that are transactional… that say we can only “get connection” if we act this way, please this person, hide ourself, fit in, or have some measurable value to another.

Challenging this way of interacting with others, Damodar asks of us to explore the relationships in our lives that are unconditionally in our corner and STAND FOR a way of relationship that allows us to be accepted + connected fully and authentically.

- Dive deep with a practice that will clarify this in your own life + relationships.

- Become vulnerable in reckoning with what relationship has been, is, and will be for you.

- And learn how to find that unconditional love + connections without qualification and see how it can empower your life.

That and much more...

As we approach the New Year, there is the common propulsion & expectation to come up with resolutions & goals for the year to come

Oftentimes, we get stuck in a fantasy of what we want to do next - coming up with goals that aren’t realistic or aren’t practically aligned as a stepping stone from where we actually are right here, right now.

Join Empowered Connection Podcast host Damodar Cordua for this special episode made specifically for those looking to honestly & sustainably transform their lives in 2023

Damodar shares a tool that he has been given to him by his teachers and that he uses both in his own life and to empower the lives of his clients

This tool is provides a great way for individuals and couples to:

- Be honest with the values we are ACTUALLY living out in our day-to-day lives  & the goals coming from those values
- Track how those values + goals are playing out in our day-to-day life and how they can be sustainably bridged to real change that is in integrity with our deeper desires & life purpose
- See where our lifestyle & values are misaligned & develop New Year’s goals that aren’t a fantasy but are real & sustainable
- Line up our system of lifestyle & values with our partners to see where there is alignment and misalignment… and create deeper connection + conscious agreements with those alignments
- Learn to see & speak to their loved ones through their loved one’s ACTUAL values + goals, not a fantasy we might have of them based on our values

And so much more...
