The Loving Challenger

Right now, most of us could use more “safe spaces” to feel and express our feelings. In this episode, we start by getting emotionally current with each other, during which we see how we allow (or not allow) for each other's feelings.  We all share our own personal experiences around expressing emotions, what makes us feel unsafe, and then wrap up with some very specific practices that we all can do to   create a safer space for ourselves and others.

In this episode of Amory, Kyle shares his ideas about energetic freedom, choosing himself, all arising from his decision to stay in New Zealand. As usual, we find overlaps with our current life lessons, and Marty takes the opportunity wrap Kyle's decision around his Ikigai (life purpose). We also use Karpman's Drama Triangle (Victim, Persecutor & Rescuer), and learn how to move beyond it to a healthy version to an Empowerment Triangle (Survivor/Creator, Coach, Challenger). Megan shares her insight about being her own persecutor, which had kept her in victim mode...but no longer!

Ok, we're not in the apocalypse...but these are some crazy times to be living through.  In this episode, Kyle talks through the decision of whether to stay with Megan and Marty in New Zealand, or to head back to the US to be with his family. We ask the question - Are people practicing polyamory more equipt in times of change? We also get into how to benefit in these quarantine times - find your Ikigai (purpose), create new grounding practices for your health (mental, emotional, physical), learn to cook...maybe naked.  (recorded on March 19th)

It takes a lot of courage to share your relationship status as polyamorous, in a world where monogamy is still the "norm". We recorded this episode so you could hear our own personal challenges of the "coming out" or "sharing your truth" process...and support you wherever you are in your poly journey. We are very fortunate to be in a position where we were able to share our relationship status without major repercussions. This is why it's important all three of us to use our voices to create a safer space for more of you to join us in being "out" in your communities, if you choose to do so.

This short podcast is a Public Service Announcement (PSA) for our community. It's inspired by a conversation Marty has had with a member of another polycule that is very close to ours.  This is about a clause in Megan & Marty's relationship agreement that has helped them successfully navigate opening their relationship. It now includes Kyle and Marty's partner as they have grown to a loving polycule and metamors are included.

It's about what to do when one or more member of your relationship(s) is going through a crisis of the heart, or fear, or trauma, or anything that requires you all to remove the noise of too many variables hitting at once. It's about getting to the core of the issue. It's about owning your own shit, and being a support for one another's growth. It's not about being fair all the time. It's about being the best versions of ourselves. It's about leading life with love. It's what Amory is all about. 

This episode is dedicated to those of you who need a little extra love right now. There are no ads. There are no calls to action. This is simply for us to be a source of love and support to our community. We love this community and have been given so much love and support it is our honor to have you listening. 

Love, 

Megan, Marty, Kyle, and one more :)

No matter what your current relationship structure, having the courage to bring up a conversation around needs/wants can be scary, let alone admitting them to ourselves. In this episode of Amory we discuss these questions:

At the end of the episode, we walk the walk- making real time requests of each other around our current needs.

Part of being polyamorous is experiencing your own solo time when your partner(s) are with their Other Significant Others (OSO's). In this episode, Megan talks about how she grew through the "solo time" over the last two years...while at the recording of this episode both Marty and Kyle are with their other partners, continents away. Learn how to get through moments of jealousy, overcome the fear of ending up alone, how to create healthy agreements during the opening process, and most importantly, how to become your own best partner!
