017: Intimacy triggers us with Nicole Mathieson 0

Apr 30, 2017

Today's episode of Unbreakable is a little different. I felt the need to talk about the shift in direction for Unbreakable - a direction towards exploring love, intimacy and relationships. To do this, I have invited back my podcast expert friend, Alana Helbig from Untangled.
Alana helps me explore why I believe that as women we need more practical support as we manage the epic, soulful, evolutionary experience that our relationships offer us.

I also share;
- the big crisis / expansion points that have shifted my relationship
-My theory on intimacy and how it triggers us and why this is so often mistaken for us being with the wrong partner
-How marriage as an institution is evolving and changing with the times
-How relationships are like life and death - they don't last forever so we must treasure what we have
-how honesty seems to work and has never let me down

016: Loving the one you're with, with Sirgun, Lindsay German 0

Apr 16, 2017

In this episode of Unbreakable I talk to my beloved Kundalini yoga teacher Sirgun Lindsay- German.

Once a week I show up on my mat in front of Sirgun as she inspires me to push through an entire cycle of mental anguish , physical pain, resistance and surrender and if I am lucky – break through. As we discuss in this interview, kundalini is preparation for life in general and in particular, marriage. Our intimate realtionship are not always going to feel wonderful and expansive – we are not always going to be aligned and connected, we may even be filled with hate and anger at times – but things cycle and process through. If we stick with it we break through. Sirgun has broken through many things – from her reflex to leave when things got tough, to her neediness for love. She finds herself now 17 years into her marriage, with a cheeky rekindling of her love affair with her husband.

Sirgun shares with us:
+ How Kundalini helped her find herself as a new wife and mother
+ Why her children are no longer her priority – her relationship with her husband is
+ Why we can get so triggered by the masculine sun energy and how to love it instead
+ The importance of embracing our feminine moon energy
+ How being passive aggressive made her PMS much worse
+ Her commitment to loving the one she’s with

015: Love, freedom and open relating with Rachel Rickards 0

Apr 3, 2017

Imagine giving your partner total freedom - to the point that you can be in the same room with them while they are connecting intimately with another. How would you respond? Instead of going into a jealous rage, like most of us, my guest this week Rachel Rickards, channels that energy of jealousy into her own expansion. Rachel and her partner are polyamorous, meaning they have an open relationship. As a monogamous woman, speaking with Rachel really blew my mind. I really feel that there is a lot here for us more conventional relators to be inspired by.
Rachel also shared:
+ What she does to move through the energy of jealousy
+ The sticky belief of "I do not belong" and how she found her place in the world
+ The dance between freedom and control - she swears she is actually a control freak!
+ The connecting practice of belly to belly and how it works to calm her nervous system
+ The difficult challenges of polyamory and why she still chooses it
+ We talk about intimacy and what it truly means to be intimate with another
+ And finally I ask Rachel her advice for us monogamous folk on how to keep our relationships alive
