Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

"If dating apps wanted to help you find a life partner would put these things as filters. Right. Do you want a baby? How soon do you want a baby? Like they, they would add these filters."

"If you think about it, more people are identifying as part of the non monogamous community compared to some under the queer umbrella, but we're not really giving them a space to talk about it. We tend to shame things that don't feel comfortable to us, and so there's a lot of judgment and not a lot of understanding when it comes to non monogamy."

Summary

Alain and Marz are on a mission to create the most exquisite and transformative experience on the planet with you at the Top Floor Club. With guiding principles such as immersion, authenticity, generosity, character, and equality, they’ve been deemed the most exclusive play party in New York.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

Alain and Marz are part of the team that runs Top Floor club in New York. It’s not just a party for sexual self-expression, it’s a place for connection and transformation. They are an exclusive invite-only private play party to givers of the highest character who will make a strong contribution to the party and community. 

Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

"A play party,  especially [at] Top Floor, we level that up because it's about connection. It's about freedom, it's about trying out whatever you want. It's about individual journeys through the night.”

“One of the factors I consider a successful [night at Top Floor], one of the measures is when people come to me afterwards and say ‘I had a life changing experience’ and that happens pretty much every party.”

“One of the things that differentiates our party, I think from almost all play parties, is we do not ever have performances. We never separate anyone from audience to performer because that isn't great for the vibe. Everyone's a performer, everyone's participating.”

Summary

Dr. Emy Tafelski, an integrative soul coach, specializes in helping women cope with significant loss. She shares her personal experience of losing her mother and discusses the process of healing and rediscovering oneself after such a loss.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

Dr. Emy Tafelski is a licensed therapist turned integrative soul coach who helps women who have suffered an untethering loss reweave their souls into wholeness. Her work stems directly from her own healing journey following the loss of her mom which left her shattered and untethered. It is her mission to revolutionize how women transform after loss so that they can release what holds them back and reclaim their power. She believes that when women fully tend to their wounds (including those that come from the culture around them) and align with wholeness they are absolutely unstoppable. She offers transformative group and 1:1 Soul Weaving services.

Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

“There's a piece, particularly for women I think.  You know, I speak of untethered loss. I think women in general are sort of raised to anchor or tether to things outside of ourselves: whether it's a partner or Children or whatever. But I think that is one of the reasons why this works so important, right? Because when we experience something that untethers us and we lose that external tether, it gives us an opportunity to re-anchor and do it internally, which is a much more solid, a more permanent sense of self.”

“Like attune... where we first create space for all of the feelings that we have because our culture does not make space for grief in the accompanying feelings.”

Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

“Use Ketamine first because it can be an introductory [psychedelic] and that might be all you need. It's accessible, it's super, super safe, it's legal and the effects are short lasting, but the after effects are long lasting. So it really is like a good primer for psychedelics.”

“The biggest side effect is really that enhanced mood that lasts up to two weeks after, even if you're just doing the one dose. Clients report just feeling more energy, feeling a sense of lightness, you know just more joy, understanding and peace.”

Summary

Irena helps people overcome toxic relationship patterns from their childhood so they can master love in adult relationships. 

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

Irena was born and raised in Ukraine. After moving to USA in 2001 in search of better life and getting married at 23, her envisioned happily ever after crumbled very quickly. Growing up in an environment where all her emotions had to be suppressed, feeling unloved and abandoned, she only learned how to be ready for a fight, how to blame others and how to look for external validation desperately trying to feel worthy. 

After trying out various types of relationships, monogamy & polyamory, after having my two children, and living in different countries,she realized that she was the common denominator in all her unsuccessful attempts at relationships. She had to make changes. And she did. It was a long and painful process, but it was worth it. Now, being back in USA, she is dedicated to help others to acquire crucial skills for forming and sustaining healthy relationships.

Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

“Because when we get triggered, this only points us in the area where work is needed. So when kids trigger me, that means something is healing within me, it's not the kids, it's me and it has made my parenting. It's still challenging. Don't get me wrong, but it has made it much easier.”

“I think the biggest issue they deal with is they're probably still using some kind of coping mechanisms they acquired long ago and they're just not realizing that their belief system is no longer serving them. And instead of reevaluating this system and their mechanisms and their default modes, they just keep applying them and applying, but it's no longer working.“

Adam discusses how extreme sports have influenced his perspective on non-monogamy and how facing challenges such as jealousy and self-worth issues have led to personal growth.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

Adam has been an adventure seeker his whole life. Climbing some of the world's steepest mountains, snowboarding epic backcountry mountain terrain, and BASE jumping off of objects and cliffs. Seeking the risk rather than the reward has been his guiding mantra and life philosophy, and it's what drew him into the world of non-monogamy at the age of 40. As Adam likes to say, he strives to get comfortable being uncomfortable because that's where his real living begins. But non-monogamy ended up being the ultimate test of his commitment to that philosophy.

Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

“I had to honestly solve my personal issues in my psyche around the impostor syndrome because that's what was driving a lot of the jealousy. And then once I got there, I could really sink into the healthy jealousy.”

“Masculinity was deciding about what kind of man I wanted to be. Do I want to be someone that friends, lovers, family members could count on, could they count on me physically? They can count on me emotionally. It meant being strong, not just showing people you were strong."

Noteworthy quotes from this episode:

“Inner child healing is very simply just reconnecting with your emotions to be with your emotions rather than engaging in behavior such as fixing someone else or rescuing a situation that we people-pleasers do.
