In this episode, I’m exploring my own experiences around masculinity, what toxic masculinity is, and most importantly: what’s missing from today’s image of masculinity (because that is the key to healthy communication and emotional expression!) If we want masculinity and toxic masculinity to change, we have to change the way we interact with one another, as well as play the role that wasn’t played for us earlier on in life. We have to be the change we want to see in the world.

Join us for an episode full of powerful notions around self-love, self-worth, and gratitude; nuggets of wisdom on how to stay connected to yourself and others; how to manifest these concepts and create real change; how to practice and spread love and eradicate fear; how to identify your fears and turn them into love; and much, much more!

Today I’m really excited to bring you something that I’ve never done on the podcast before, and that is a conversation with someone I have worked with. When you work in this field and you help people when they’re at their lowest, a lot of the times they don’t really want to talk about it even after they’ve gotten better. But luckily, an amazing individual has stepped up to the plate!

In this episode, we’re kicking off a new format to the IGNTD Relationships podcast! Each month we will be exploring a new theme with various guests and at the end of the month we’ll wrap it all up with our key findings through a ‘Going Deep’ episode. This month, the theme we will be exploring is our relationship between our biology, body, and physical nature with our spirituality and psychology

The way we help people with addiction right now is so messed up that we should actually count our blessings that there aren’t actually more people dying from drugs and alcohol. In rehabilitation centers, they are kicking people out of treatment when they relapse — when really, this is exactly when somebody needs help the most. I went through this myself personally and I think it is a major problem for those seeking treatment for their addictions

Today we’re talking all about intuition with our dear friend, Aarona Lea Pichinson. Intuition is one of these things that sound so easy, but really, it can become difficult to listen to your inner voice when you’ve been told not to or have learned over time not to trust it. It’s incredibly important to have practices, rituals, and things you can do on a daily basis to bring you back to your inner compass

In this episode, I’m breaking down the conversations that we had, what we worked on, the lessons that I learned from working with him, and most importantly: why external validation and material success won’t bring you the satisfaction in life you’re craving

Today’s episode is all about radical transparency! Authenticity, vulnerability, and letting your partner in on your thoughts and feelings, all offer an opportunity to grow as a couple. And the couple joining us today, Nicholas and Amanda Bayerle are such great examples of this! They got married young and have learned how to consistently grow together, be completely honest with one another, and successfully work together as a couple business-wise!

So today, I want to talk to you all about why we have this fear of being stuck, the truth behind the fear of being stuck, what we really need to work on in order to get over this fear, and what you can start doing, right now to get unstuck!

Today we’re covering so many interesting topics from body positivity, listening to your intuition, and really tuning into what your body needs (rather than chasing the media and what others say) — to skin care and food! We talk about creating your own idea of wellness, the importance of honoring who you are in this phase of your life, and all of our own struggles with self-image and self-love
