The Unconscious Couple

Everyone says "relationships are work," and we think....that's kinda dumb. This week we make the case that if your relationship feels like a constant grind, something deeper may be off, and we discuss what actually keeps a partnership thriving (in our most humble opinion!!)

Along the way: we share a triple rescue story on the same dangerous street, Heather's new pregnancy rage, a brand-new Hate & Celebrate segment, and our new farmer's market obsession.

Welcome to Season 2! We've been gone for over a year and a LOT has happened. This episode is us doing what we've been wanting to do for a while... just sitting down & yapping.

This episode was inspired by Heather's (AKA Mrs. P's!!!💍) quest for a podcast that is lighthearted & hosted by peaceful people who actually communicate with one another. We decided to ~be the change~ and finally hop back onto the mic ourselves instead of endlessly searching for that perfect podcast unicorn outside of ourselves. 

We start with a cold open praising Ben Stiller's performance in Dodgeball as the ultimate #MatrixDelight and go with our fun flow from there. 

In this episode, we're thrilled to welcome back Michael Ostrolenk, MFT, for a deep dive into how you can optimize your nervous system to better follow through on the agreements you set within your relationship. We explore the delicate balance of holding safe space for your partner’s triggers without enabling unhealthy patterns, and how to cultivate heart rate coherence to maintain emotional equilibrium. Michael also shares how embracing curiosity can be a powerful tool for navigating the complexities of your relationship, helping you and your partner grow together in harmony. Tune in for practical tips and profound insights to enhance your connection and communication.

In this episode, are thrilled to have spiritual coach and teacher, and our dear friend, Omri Agam, as our special guest. Together, we dive deep into transformative topics to move beyond the ego to create from the soul. Omri shares profound insights from Kabbalistic teachings on the inner opponent, offering wisdom on how to hold and heal wounded parts of ourselves when triggered.

Join us as we explore the power of prayer and the importance of clarifying our desires to manifest beyond the limitations of the mind. Omri's teachings guide us on how to let go and let God, embracing a loving consciousness for personal and spiritual growth. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of self and connect with their inner divine wisdom.

In this episode, we're diving deep into the world of manifestation, stripped bare of all spiritual douchery. We focus on the vital roles of the conscious and unconscious mind. This episode explore the science behind how these parts of your mind work together with the Universe to help you achieve your goals, demystifying the process and making it accessible for everyone.

Heather shares her personal journey of overcoming manifestation blocks, offering practical tips that you can apply in your own life. SPOILER ALERT: Your excuses, even the most valid & compelling, are boring AF. 

Finally, we'll delve into what happens within your brain and your external environment when you set a goal. By aligning your inner neurology with your outer world (#AsWithinSoWithout), you can create a supportive environment for your manifestation journey. Tune in for a balanced, science-backed conversation that empowers you to harness the power of manifestation to create your reality.

In this episode of the Unconscious Couple podcast, marriage-family therapist and transpersonal psychologist Michael Ostrelenk shares:

• Practical tips for building relationships rooted in nervous system regulation, laughter, playfulness, and safety.

In this episode, we offer a blend of perspectives on social snafus: 

🦋Victor, a Leo social butterfly who thrives in extroverted outings, and 
🏡Heather, a homebody introvert who moved from the boozy Midwest🍻 to Austin's spiritual community🌀, learning valuable lessons along the way. 

Together, we address two major social hazards: the awkwardness of anxiety-inducing small talk, and the dangers of toxic vulnerability. 

We share tips to make small talk and build rapport, and strategies to identify and avoid energy vampires who use feigned “vulnerability” power plays for personal gain.

• The "of course" of getting engaged: Learn the fundamental compatibility and the "secret sauce" to a super loving relationship.
