Me and Miwa Line Løtveit digs into the levels of self expression and there, straight on, we fuck up our audio and I am sent into a trigger of fear of failure. 

So, on live podcast, we dive into the rhelm of the triggered landscape. 

How is that, how to meet ourselves and the world in that situation and how to move past what is keeping us from doing what we want and showing up as we truly are. 

Miwa has herself gone deep into the world of self expression and facilitate dance, breathwork, drawing, tantric and similar kinds of workshops. 

She, as me, comes from a totally normal job, education and life. Which she figured made her unhappy and unfulfilled.

Make yourself a glorious day ya all.

In part one of our conversation me and Miwa Line Løtveit digs into the levels of self expression. 

Aliveness. 

Being true to yourself. 

Being aligned in truth. 

How to engage with people we are attracted to. 

Grounded in our truth. 

Magnetize the people who are attracted by us. 

Ressonating energy. 

Our intuition knows. 

Not performing and pretending to be something we are not.

What is really honest. 

What is going on on the inside.

The feeling of losing control. 

Getting paralyzed by failure. 

Feeling blank in situations where we really want to perform. 

Taking up space. 

Going after what we want. 

Feeling into the triggers and fears and cutting the bullshit, doing even when it¨s scary. 

Standing in our power when we put someone on a pedestal. 

Talking to and relaxing around people we are intimidated by. 

RBDSM-AT talks. Cutting the mystery. Taking away the drama and fun. 

Changing how we look at sexuality. 

How is that, how to meet ourselves and the world in that situation and how to move past what is keeping us from doing what we want and showing up as we truly are. 

Miwa has herself gone deep into the world of self expression and facilitate dance, breathwork, drawing, tantric and similar kinds of workshops.

Lag deg selv en god dag. 

Om Anders 

Da jeg ble plassert i en workshop med menn på en Tantra festival for godt over en håndfull år siden, innså jeg at mine mellommenneskelige ferdigheter, spesielt med menn, ikke var så gode som jeg hadde trodd. Blant de andre deltakerne så jeg ikke brødre, men heller konkurrenter.

På grunn av min avvisning av mine egne skyggesider, bar jeg mange dommer mot menn og generell maskulinitet, og brukte stigmatiserende merkelapper som «offermentalitet,» «kvinnebedårer,» «player,» «egoistisk nihilist,» «usikker mobber,» osv mot alle menn rundt meg. Og alt dette levde jo egentlig i meg selv og mitt syn på mine medbrødre ble selvfølgelig preget av disse fordømmende etikettene. Jeg selv, selvfølgelig, betraktet meg som «helgenen.» Denne erkjennelsen markerte begynnelsen på min reise inn i arbeidet med menn. Målet var å lege forholdet mitt til menn, maskulinitet, og ikke minst, til meg selv.

Dette var veien mot mannsarbeidet.

Selv om reisen ikke er fullført, har jeg kommet langt. Det er likevel dager hvor jeg føler meg som et spedbarn, dager hvor jeg knapt kan «gå» i det hele tatt. Likevel har jeg nådd et punkt hvor jeg tydelig ser at jeg har utviklet meg på mange områder.

Part two of the conversation with Levi is about asking for what we want and giving what we want, without pushing others into something they do not want to be part of. 

Have you ever said “yes” when you really meant “no”? Or felt unclear about what you actually wanted? In this episode, we dive into Betty Martin's "The Wheel of Consent", a powerful framework that transforms how we navigate touch, relationships, and power dynamics. Whether in business, love, or everyday interactions, understanding the difference between giving, receiving, taking, and allowing can be life-changing. Join us as we explore how to reclaim agency, communicate desires with clarity, and step into true consent—without guilt, pressure, or confusion. 🚀💡

Tune in and start making clearer, more empowered choices today! 🎧✨

Workshop details further below.

These are the quadrants:

You are doing:

1) Serve: you are doing. Action to benefit others. You give a gift, it's for them. "Yes, I will"

2) Take: you are doing. Action to benefit yourself. You receive/ ask for a gift, it's for you. "May I?" 

They are doing:

3) Allow: opposite of the taker. They are doing. Allow others to act as they want. You are giving a gift, it's for them. "Yes, you may"

4) Accept: opposite of the server. They are doing. Benefit from the action of others. You are receiving a gift, it's for you! "Will you?"

Shadow sides of the wheel of consent. This is when there is no consent anymore:

1) Serve: "do gooder", rescuer, martyr, slavery, push onto others what they don't want, sacrifice themselves

2) Take: Perpetrator, stealing, groping, assaulting, rape, war

3) Allow: endure, tolerate, doormat, pushover, victim, passive

4) Accept: Freeloader, assumption of privilege, slavery, entitled
