The Loving Challenger

This episode of Amory is very different! It's actually an exchange of WhatsApp messaging with a friend who was sharing a major breakthrough in his healing journey. He describes the moment he realized the pattern between his emotions, and his thoughts...not getting overly identified with them, nor denying them. The ability to "be with" both his emotions and thoughts is creating the space for him to see himself as the loving witness. From that place, he is free to act instead of react, and therefore create the life he truly desires.

I am sharing this because his realization is raw and authentic and may support you on your journey of relating (with yourself and others).

After I recorded the beginning and ending of this episode, my friend Dojo created an account so you can reach him on Instagram - @bustout_dojo. If you are called to send him a direct message - please do!

If you are interested in the 6-month group program, please message [email protected] or DM @amorypodcast

Do you know what you are feeling? Do you avoid feelings or get flooded by them? How do you relate to the different emotions that arise?

In this episode I share my own limiting beliefs that I'm working through, how to use anger as "change energy", what it means to "do the work" and why it's so important.

Self-expression is not only what we say, but how we are able to move our bodies. When you are cut off from moving your body in certain ways, parts of you are not being accessed. Confidence radiates as you feel strong, flexible and integrated in your body and mind. Lisa Chaves radiates confidence and joy! In this limited edition Amory podcast, Lisa shares her philosophy about the healing power that comes from a joyful movement practice!  Check out the video version so you can be inspired and how strong and vibrant she is at 48 years old!!! 

Lisa's 20 year career as a fitness trainer had me working with the elite of New York City, but she had a passion to explore the world beyond the concrete jungle and beyond fitness. The natural environment of Costa Rica has inspired a unique approach to physical training.  Lisa now passionately guides and inspires others in this grounding and empowering movement practice.

Wow, how long has it been since Kyle and I shared openly about our relationship? Too long! We catch you up on all of the recent learning we've had together, and where we are headed (spoiler alert, it's the title of this podcast!).

Do you consider yourself to have a polyamorous identity? How important is it to you to have a visual representation (flag) of polyamory?

As a 2nd time guest on Amory, Amber Gordon and I dive into one of the biggest parts of our lives - our work. Amber looks at relationships systemtically - not only our romatic relationships, but also and especially the relationships we have in the workplace. She gives incredible insight around how we can revolutionize the workplace to be an environment that supports our personal growth and development. Amber is committed to sharing tools with people around communication, accountability of nervous system regulation, and so much more!

Thank you Amory Patrons for your support!
