My friend Keira is one of the most amazing humans on the planet. I wanted to have her on my podcast because she is the epitome of unconditional love. She has known hardship, has had difficult relationships, struggled and still, she doesn't close her heart to people. I am truly inspired by her. 

This episode is the two of us having a conversation about what is was like being in a manipulative and/or abusive relationship. It's just a drop-in to our conversation. I asked her if I could start recording and she said yes. Listen in as we talk about the hard decisions you face when someone you love is causing you harm, why leaving is so difficult, how to pick up the pieces and how we discovered loving again. There is very little formality and there's a couple of times where we're searching for words because we want to keep some things anonymous. Some of the names and specifics may not be represented to protect her anonymity. 

If you are in a unhealthy, manipulative or abusive relationship, you are not alone. As hard as it may be, share with someone you trust. Take the first step in healing. If you don't have anyone you can talk to call your local domestic violence center. There are people trained in having these types of conversations.

Special Thanksgiving Episode! Family Edition. This weeks episode I speak with Kaleb Laird. Kaleb is Brandee's twin. Brandee is my partner. Ok, shut up, it's close enough for a family episode. 

Listen in as your host, Elizabeth Cunningham, chats with Kaleb Laird about being a "baby dyke" to coming out transgender. He talks about what it's like to grow up being transgender but not knowing what that is exactly or how to express it. He shares his insight and how love shows up when navigating his own gender identity. Kaleb shares about his experiences, his search for love, what he's learned about himself and others. Just FYI for all of the single ladies out there, Kaleb is single!

Ya know how there are people around you like your partner, your parents, your roommates, etc. that keep doing the same things over and over again? It's just the way they are, right? It's not going to ever be any different. Consider that you have been training the people around you to be how they are with you. This is great news! Cause guess what? That means YOU can DO something about it! 

Listen in with host, Elizabeth Cunningham and polyamorous coach, Steve Yang, as Steve talks about how we've trained the people around us, how they can be with us and how we can "re-train" them how to be with us. 

A little bit about Steve:

“I'm Steve Yang. I'm 41 years old, and I've been polyamorous for 7 years now. I have 1 life partner, and am dating 3 other women. My life partner is married (to someone else), has kids with him, and also one other lover in addition to me.

I'm also a Relationship Coach, specializing in polyamory and non-monogamy, with 7 years of training and experience. I help polyamorous people who are struggling with communication and intimacy to restore love and authenticity so they can be free and empowered in their relationships.”

Is your relationship healthy? Do you have rules, agreements or boundaries for yourself or for the relationship? Do they work? Do they leave you empowered? Do they leave your partner(s) empowered? Listen in as host, Elizabeth Cunningham, dives deeper into the differences between rules, agreements and boundaries in relationships. When we have healthy boundaries for ourselves and for our relationships, when we can be self-expressed, when we know our own self-worth and value, then our relationships flourish. You know what else happens when you're able to fully be yourself in a relationship? You got it. You can love deeper! You can be more connected. You can have love dripping from the walls of your life.

Want to have conversations where everyone wins instead of everyone ending up upset? Ellie Bachaud, the professional badass, reached out to me because she had something to say about expectations in relationships. "I was talking with my boyfriend in the car and I realized I had to talk to you about this!" All of us - no but really, all of us - have expectations in our relationships, whether they are communicated or even full realized by ourselves or not. Don't you expect your boyfriend to put the toilet seat down? Don't you expect your partner to turn down the TV when you're ready to go to bed? And then, do you ever try to communicate your expectations and it totally fails? Maybe it's because of how you say it or how they take it, regardless, it just doesn't end well. Listen in as Ellie and I unravel our expectations, how to distinguish them and how to communicate them so everyone wins!

Do y'all like to orgasm or what? We got such great feedback from Episode 2: Just F***ing Talk to Each Other that we made a second episode highlighting a woman's perspective. Listen in as host, Elizabeth Cunningham, speaks with Shaun Hamilton (he's back!) about the women's side of what Shaun has deemed "The Orgasm Crisis." Elizabeth shares about her experiences as a woman and why it's so hard to say what you want! When did anyone ever tell us how to do any of this anyway??? Regardless of what type of relationship you are in this topic applies to you. We're all human and we all have barriers to being able to truly express what we want and we all have barriers in being able to hear what our partners want!

There are a multitude of different ways one can come out. It's a multifaceted process. How it looks can depend on your age, gender, family background, religion, geopolitical location and so much more. Listen in as Robert, Timothy and myself talk about all the ways in which we have come out in our lives i.e. gay, pansexual, queer, polyamorous, atheist, HIV status and transgender. Our stories are both simultaneously unique and universal. I just love these two so much. We always have a blast. Regardless of what life throws at us, what it comes down to is the love and support we find when we are truly able to be ourselves.

When we love ourselves, we have the freedom to love others.

Wherever you are at in coming out, know that we love you and we support you!
