Understanding Autism and Mixed Neurotype Relationships with Angela Lauria

Unravel the mysteries of the neurodivergent brain with my special guest, Angela Lauria, host of the Autistic Culture Podcast. Drawing from her personal experiences, Angela offers a unique lens to view the world of neurodivergence, likening it to being an orchid in a tulip garden. We journey with her through an enlightening exploration of neurodiversity, discussing the need for special accommodations and how they help neurodiverse people feel safe and accepted.

Communication in mixed neurotype couples can be a challenge, as Angela candidly reveals.  We also discuss the reasons behind certain behaviors that might seem incongruous to neurotypical individuals. And shed light on how neurotypical partners can navigate these dynamics, providing accommodations without veering into ableism, and the potential benefits of partnering with an affirming therapist.

Lastly, we touch upon the often misunderstood realm of autism, discussing concepts like selfism, monotropism, and how they differ from narcissism. Angela emphasizes the importance of recognizing and celebrating special interests for the thriving of autistic individuals.

Join us in this immersive conversation to deepen your understanding of neurodiversity, and learn how to foster empathy, understanding, and connection in your relationships.

Can Embracing Imperfection Lead You to More Fulfilling Relationships?

This episode is an exploration of the debilitating impact of perfectionism on relationships. We look at how striving for perfection can damage intimate relationships, specifically when engaging in more non-traditional structures.

Even though I often talk about self-growth and evolution, when done through perfectionism, this process can compound wounds and work against healing and growth.

So how do you balance digging into your self-growth with having realistic expectations of yourself?

Learn about the subjectiveness of perfectionism and how to gracefully release these illusory perfectionistic goals.

All through the lens of diverse relationship structures.

Episode 071
Stepping Off the Relationship Escalator: A Conversation with Intimacy Coach, Daniela Stevens

Do you ever feel like your relationships are stuck on autopilot, dictated by societal norms rather than your own needs and desires? What if you could reimagine your relationships in a way that's not only non-traditional but also deeply fulfilling? This is exactly what I explore in my enlightening conversation with sex and intimacy coach, Daniella Stevens. With over two decades of experience, Daniella shares her insights on how blending science, spiritual wisdom, and creativity can shape non-traditional relationships and promote self-discovery.

Unpacking societal structures, we dive into the concept of the 'relationship escalator', a theory introduced by Amy Gahran. This idea breaks free from the linear progression of relationships, encouraging us to pause and maybe even step off the escalator at any point. We also talk about the importance of nurturing love, pleasure, and care within ourselves as a way to extend the same to others.

Our conversation further ventures into the intriguing terrain of 'relationship anarchy', emphasizing consent, communication, and freedom from expectations. We discuss the challenges of building depth in non-traditional relationships and how to create more room for love and pleasure in our lives.

So, are you ready to step off the relationship escalator and embrace a new, fulfilling approach to your most intimate relationships? Tune in and let's start the journey of reimagining together.

Join the movement to be a part of this new paradigm of conscious, intentional and diverse relationships.
