In the first part of Tony’s story we talk about couples, throuples, open relationships, narcissists, and how his last relationship might have been represented by the Devil card in the Tarot. All with Tony’s great sense of humor and grace. This is just the beginning of him sharing a lesson for not only discovering the person you want to be with, but also how to show up for yourself.

In the second, you find out how Tony’s past relationships have influenced his life today, what Blanche Devereaux has to do with it all, and what an emotional bottom is.

Now, Tony and I chat about his self talk, why ‘exit interviews’ and sitting with himself was important, and what it feels like to trust your gut instinct.
