"When you're strong in your intention and it has a really beautiful alignment behind it, it can make a huge difference in where you go in the year."

"Women have the right to say, "No," and "I'm not interested in you." This is not an attack on your ego."

"I identify as poly because I believe that I can be in love with multiple people at once, and it's not going to draw energy away from my relationship with my husband."

Poly Points: The only limited resource is time, not love.

This week on Open Late, Jess interviews Andre Lazarus to get his perspective on presenting men in society. The conversation goes deep and wide as they talk about Andre's challenges while serving in the military. He spoke about how "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was repealed, allowing us to see more individuals feeling more comfortable. Unfortunately, the policy created a culture of fear that made it difficult for many people to live openly or honestly. But when did we stop being afraid? When did we start taking steps toward equality?

In this episode of Open Late

• Overcoming the fear of vulnerability

• Normalizing having feelings when you’re in a masculine role

• Having the courage to fight gender norms in the military

• How the deficit of true intimacy is effecting men
