| 216: HeartShare: The Benefits of Talking to Strangers | 30 Jul 2024 | 00:42:16 | |
In this solocast I talk about the benefits of approaching and taking with strangers. We have been programmed to believe taking to strangers is dangerous. My experience though tells me that the wide majority of my interactions with strangers are positive and growth orientating. I believe it builds trust, intuition, communication skills as well a feeling of belonging to the greater community of humans.

| 215. HeartShare: Communicate Better By Focusing on Your Responses | 16 Jul 2024 | 00:40:39 | |
In this solocast I talk about the importance of focusing on how you want to respond instead of focusing on other people’s reactions, responses, or behaviors. We have no control over changing others'; we only have control and choice over how we respond to others. Our relationship with ourselves is reflected in this “discipline”.

| 203. Heartshare: Following Through on Commitments in Your Relationships | 23 Jan 2024 | 00:47:36 | |
In this solocast I talk about the importance of following through on commitments. It’s basically keeping your word. If you say you'll do something, do it. Whether it's taking out the trash, meeting your partner for dinner, or attending their work event, follow through reliably. The key is consistently matching your actions with your words. Follow-through breeds trust and reliability in relationships. Essentially, partners who do what they say they'll do don't just gain trust; they earn it. Their actions give evidence that they are worthy of trust. This firm foundation is key for relationships to go the distance. “Only make commitments you know you can reasonably keep. Don't say yes to everything.” - Pripo Teplitsky Related Content: Other Podcast Episodes HeartShare: Attitudes of Connection HeartShare: How Practicing Humility Helps Your Relatiopnships Compromising in a Relationship HeartShare: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Relationships How to Have the Partner You Most Want to Have Micro-Moments in Relationships Let’s Talk About It!

| 202. Asking For Help | 09 Jan 2024 | 01:01:48 | |
In this episode, I have a conversation with my friend Gregg Levoy and we dive into this topic. Gregg is a frequent seminar leader who holds workshops in the faith-based, human-potential, educational, governmental, and business industries. He is a Passionate Living Expert who has penned bestselling books such as Vital Signs: The Nature and Nurture of Passion as well as Callings: Finding and Following An Authentic Life which has been named as one of the Top 20 Career Publications by the Workforce Information Group. He regularly shares his insights and expertise as a frequent contributor to Psychology Today. Asking for help is not an easy task, especially because it elicits vulnerability. Many people have a difficult time asking for help because they don’t want to appear weak, put others out, seem inadequate, or fear it may be used against them at a later date. How good are you at asking for help? “You’re not weak or lazy; everyone needs support.” - Gregg Levoy Related Content: Other Podcasts with Gregg Levoy: Circling: A Powerful Communication Tool New Love...Taking Risks To Be Real What is a Generous Conversation

| 200. Feeling Seen and Heard | 05 Dec 2023 | 00:54:41 | |
n this episode I have a conversation with my wife, Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky. She is the founder of Artsy Goddess Studio, where she actively carries out her role in helping others and the planet heal. Rainbow is passionate about art, as seen in the upcycled clothing she creates from second-hand materials, as well as the visual arts she creates, such as murals, paintings, and tapestries. She also helps women transform through voice empowering workshops and helps couples through workshops and retreats that she co-facilitates with me. The longing to be seen, heard and considered is normal and vital. But if you don’t feel heard or understood by your partner (or vice-versa), chances are, neither you nor your partner are really present to each other as much as you could be. We don’t want others necessarily to agree with all our feelings, but what we crave is that they at least validate them. Rainbow and I talk about how this shows up in our relationship. “The best way to understand people is to listen to them” - Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky Related Podcasts: Giving Your Partner the Benefit of the Doubt Repair is Key to a Successful Relationship Aftermath of a Fight or a Regrettable Incident Maintaining Connection Through Conflict

| 199. The impact of Trauma on Relationships | 21 Nov 2023 | 00:57:50 | |
Corey Costanzo is the co-owner of Asheville’s Still Point Wellness Spa, a licensed addiction counselor, trauma specialist, licensed massage therapist, master didgeridoo player, colleague, and good friend. In this episode, Corey and I have a conversation about how trauma effects relationships. Living through traumatic events may result in expectations of danger, betrayal, or potential harm within new or old relationships. People who experience trauma may become anxious or frightened in relation to others, experience them as having power or control, or easily feel abandoned or rejected. Still, others may become overprotective or dependent. Though it’s challenging, you can heal the trauma and change the effect it has on your life and relationships. “We are not made the same, and we all heal in our own way, our own time."

| 198. Heartshare: How Practicing Humility Helps Your Relationships | 07 Nov 2023 | 00:49:51 | |
In this solocast I talk about humility and being humble. To be humble or practice humility means to value other people and their opinions without indulging in self-pride. It's the opposite of arrogance, boastfulness and vanity. A humble person does not always have to prove their point, be right, or lead the conversation because they are truly comfortable with who they are. Being vulnerable and showing humility to a romantic partner can allow for better communication and trust to develop in the relationship. “Humble partners are more likely to apologize readily and accept an apology with grace.” - ~Pripo Teplitsky

For nearly three decades, spanning six continents- Charley Castex has paired his intuitive gift with spiritual teaching. Spotlighted by the New York Times & Huff Post, his down to earth psychic guidance gets to the heart of the matter.

| 196. HeartShare: Micromanaging in Relationships | 10 Oct 2023 | 00:44:05 | |
In this solocast I talk about micromanaging. Micromanaging in a relationship is when one partner excessively controls or monitors the other partner's actions, often to the point of interfering with their independence and decision-making ability It is a form of control and manipulation when it is a constant in your relationship. Micromanaging often stems from a lack of trust or insecurity. It can also stem from OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) tendencies. “Micromanaging in a relationship is unhealthy, exhausting, and will affect your happiness” - ~Pripo Teplitsky

Virginia Gilbert is a licensed marriage and family therapist serving clients in North Carolina and California.

In this episode, Virgina and I have a conversation about high conflict couples including high conflict divorce and ways to manage this dynamic. High conflict couples have a lot of intense, out-of-control, hurtful fights. Usually the fights are complicated, twisty, blaming, and contemptuous. The fighting also escalates quickly and both people say and do harmful things during conflict. “High-conflict individuals aren’t bad people; they just have poor strategies for getting their needs met, which makes them really tough to deal with “ - Virginia Gilbert Related podcasts:

| 192. How to Listen Without Being Defensive | 15 Aug 2023 | 00:57:32 | |
In this episode, I have a conversation with Cathy Courtenay. Cathy is a relational coach and facilitator. She works with both couples and individuals who are striving to find deeper connection and intimacy both with themselves and each other. She helps her clients to see the patterns of relating that are holding them back from what they truly desire. Cathy also facilitates the practice of the Circling Method where she creates a safe space for people where they can stand in their truth and experience what is real for them. Responding to life’s call to find truth, Cathy is committed to a mission of helping uplift humanity and develop profound compassion and empathy in the world. Most of us are challenged to listen non-defensively when we are triggered or our conversations start to get intense. Listening without getting defensive is a skill that can be learned. First awareness is key, know that ourselves or the other is activated. Self-soothing is another step in the process in order to regulate ourselves so that we can listen with curiosity and the intent to understand, not defend.
“If neither partner is resourced in the moments right after activation, that’s when it gets really tricky." ~Cathy Courtenay

| 188. Fantasy vs. Reality and the Effects on Relationships | 20 Jun 2023 | 01:00:09 | |
In this episode I have a conversation with Eric Ingersoll. Eric is a relationship transformation guide. He knows transformation from the inside out, because he is walking this path himself. Once a brooding indie-rock musician using sexual fantasy to try and meet his needs for aliveness and acceptance, he has since learned the relational skills that empower him to get his needs met in his real-life relationships. By cultivating a magical blend of intimacy and autonomy, he and his wife are falling more deeply in love with each passing day. They now work as a team supporting individuals and couples that want to cultivate more aliveness and connection in their own lives. You can learn more about their work at ericandzucu.com. Eric discusses how living in fantasy most of his life took him away from reality and made it difficult for him to create authentic intimate relationships. Through the continuous work around feelings of shame and inadequacy, and finding compassionate communication tools, Eric is now living a life that is more fulfilled, present, authentic and enriching. If you find you are continually living out relationships in the safe zone of your mind, give this a listen.

Corey Costanzo is the Co-Owner of Asheville’s Still Point Wellness Spa, a licensed addiction counselor, trauma specialist, licensed massage therapist, master didgeridoo player, colleague, and good friend. In this episode, Corey and I have a conversation about emotional flooding. That is when we get so overwhelmed with emotion, that the emotions take over, so we completely lose access to the logical part of our brains. We also lose access for empathy which is a key component to transform conflict. We also lose the ability to accurately assess tone of voice as well as facial expressions and see them as threatening because we are in the “flight/fight” response. “Creating and maintaining strong boundaries is essential for avoiding overextending yourself to the point of struggling to regulate your emotions”.

Regardless of what you may think, both men and women, of all ages, are affected by negative body image. How an individual evaluates one’s self has a great deal to do with the quality of one’s interpersonal relationships.

| 180. Trauma Bonding in Relationships | 28 Feb 2023 | 00:49:29 | |
Corey Costanzo is the Co-Owner of Asheville’s Still Point Wellness Spa, a licensed addiction counselor, trauma specialist, licensed massage therapist, master didgeridoo player, colleague, and good friend. In this episode, Corey and I have a conversation about bonding through trauma and another aspect of which is called “trauma bonding”. A trauma bond is an attachment formed between two people who unconsciously bond through an experience or experiences of shared trauma. We also hear of trauma bonds in narcissistic abuse within an adult relationship. However, most of these relationships do not begin just in adult relationships, they begin early on in our childhood and they manifest and continue in our adult lives. “Walking away from the cycle of trauma bonding can feel like you are weening yourself off an addiction”.

| 179. Sexual Healing and Freedom Through Hypnosis | 14 Feb 2023 | 00:55:09 | |
In this episode I have a conversation with Laura Callahan, BA., CHt. Laura is a clinical hypnotherapist specializing in assisting clients with sexual dysfunction, trauma resolution, anxiety and fertility issues. She is also a Certified HypnoBirthing® Educator. She works with clients via Zoom throughout the US, Canada and elsewhere around the world! We have a conversation about Sexual Freedom through Hypnosis. Sex and intimacy can be a major source of anxiety in people’s lives. More than 40% of people have a sexual dysfunction issue, and it is believed that about two-thirds of sexual dysfunction and issue have a psychological cause. Hypnosis can help in a positive way. It can help people overcome past trauma, change unhelpful beliefs, and assist in accepting our bodies and sexuality. “The mind is the most powerful sex organ!” - Laura Callahan Contact Laura Callahan Website: www.lauracallahanhealing.com Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/lauracallahanhealing/ Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/lauracallahanhealing/ Related Podcasts: How Depression Effects Relationships HeartShare: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Relationships

| 178. Giving Your Partner the Benefit of the Doubt | 31 Jan 2023 | 00:52:57 | |
In this episode I have a conversation with my wife, Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky. She is the founder of Artsy Goddess Studio, where she actively carries out her role in helping others and the planet heal. Rainbow is passionate about art, as seen in the upcycled clothing she creates from second-hand materials, as well as the visual arts she creates, such as murals, paintings, and tapestries. She also helps women transform through voice empowering workshops and helps couples through workshops and retreats that she co-facilitates with me. One definition of benefit of the doubt is “to believe something good about someone, rather than something bad, when you have the possibility of doing either.” It also promotes positivity and patience in your relationship. It keeps your partner from jumping into defensive mode and it shows them that you trust and appreciate them. However, it is much more challenging to do this if there have been incidences of betrayal like infidelity or chronic lies. “As a first response, be curious not furious, it can turn a potential conflict into understanding” - Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky Related Podcasts: Aftermath of a Fight or a Regrettable Incident Maintaining Connection Through Conflict Let’s Talk About It!

| 177. HeartShare: Balancing Work, Relationships and Self | 17 Jan 2023 | 00:40:36 | |
In this solocast I talk about the importance of knowing that balancing important parts of our life (work, relationship and self) is not about equality. Your work-life balance will vary over time. The best work-life balance is different for each of us because we all have different priorities and different lives. Balance also requires that we honor our energy. It is important to identify habits, activities, and people that drain our energy. We need to check in with ourselves regularly to make sure we prioritize what’s important to us. “Balance is about being in integrity with your values and the choices you make in whether they are aligned with those values” - Pripo Teplitsky Related Content: Other Podcast Episodes Perfectionism: Traits and Characteristics Time Together vs. Time Apart: What’s Healthy HeartShare: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Relationships HeartShare: Prioritizing Everday Transitions HeartShare: Making Your Relationship a Priority The Importance of a Personal Practice Let’s Talk About It!

| 176. Why Marry | 03 Jan 2023 | 01:01:58 | |
Marriage is usually the union of two people in love, and it is a legal commitment that has familial, social, and economic implications. People marry for so many reasons. Some marry to raise a family together, to commit to their relationship on a deeper level, cultural or religious reasons or the desire to experience varies legal advantages. People also marry for unhealthy reasons like to escape a dysfunctional home, because your friends are getting married, because a baby is on the way, or your partner pressures you, etc, etc. Marriage is another way couples commit to each other in a deeper way. In this episode, I have a conversation with NikiAnne Feinberg, she discusses the reasons that her and her partner Chris decided to marry after over 10 years of being in relationship and their experiences in their commitment along the way. NikiAnne considers relationships her primary learning ground and her human tribe some of her greatest teachers. It's not a surprise that NikiAnne chose to make her home in community at Earthaven Ecovillage, where learning how to be human with other humans is one of the main tasks at hand. In 2012, she co-founded the School of Integrated Living (affectionately known as SOIL), which inspires and empowers people to live responsible and creative lives, through experiential education in integrated living and regenerative systems. Her life in community and her time working in environments that honor learning through personal experience and relationships, have shaped her cooperative cultural values and commitment to supporting people to think, feel, act, and design from a foundation rooted in interrelationship. No matter what she’s engaged in, NikiAnne is always on the same mission: to foster a sense of belonging within ourselves and the world, enhance healthy connections and help people to be seen and appreciated for the gifts they are bringing to their communities. She’s especially eager to support those in transition – between vocations, stages of life, and stories of world and self. Within this context, she is particularly passionate about fostering belonging, community grief tending, and death care midwifery.
“I used that chamber, that time period and container of engagement to engage myself , to engage my heart’s longings and to see if I wanted to marry” - NikiAnne Feinberg

| 175. HeartShare: Turning Relationship Negativity Around | 20 Dec 2022 | 00:36:02 | |
In this solocast I talk about the importance how to recognize negativity, especially negative sentiment override in your relationships. Especially when you are anticipating negativity from your partner and there is a cloud of that negative bias also then towards them. We therefore distort our view of our partners as well as the situation at times. I also talk about turning that negativity around with positive sentiment override, where you are giving your partner the benefit of the doubt more and there is more positive bids of connection. “The more negativity that is present in your marriage, the harder it becomes to escape the partner in your head. ” - Pripo Teplitsky Related Content: Other Podcast Episodes HeartShare: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Relationships HeartShare: Prioritizing Everday Transitions HeartShare: Making Your Relationship a Priority Breaking the Illusions of Love: The Real Work of Love The Importance of a Personal Practice

| 174. Perfectionism: Traits and Characteristics | 06 Dec 2022 | 00:47:15 | |
Corey Costanzo is the Co-Owner of Asheville’s Still Point Wellness Spa, a licensed addiction counselor, trauma specialist, licensed massage therapist, master didgeridoo player, colleague, and good friend. In this episode, Corey and I have a conversation about perfectionism and how those traits and tendencies affects relationships. Perfectionism can show up as being controlling, overanalyzing things even the small stuff, setting unrealistic standards of ourselves and others, and being over critical. So sometimes it may be best to lower our expectations and also accept the situation and other people and let imperfection be a normal part of life. “Appreciating the wins is important to combat the habit of looking for fault”.

| 173. Polyamory and Ethical Non-Monogamy | 15 Nov 2022 | 00:56:11 | |
Polyamory specifically refers to people who have multiple romantic relationships at the same time. It does not mean any type of open relationship that may include more casual sexual partners. In many polyamorous relationships, each partner is aware of the other ones and transparency and honest communication is a vital part of healthy polyamorous relationships. In this podcast we discuss how polyamory works in relationships and discuss such questions as... What are the benefits and struggles of polyamory? How do partners decide to become non-monogamous? What are some of the effects of polyamorous families on children? What is compersion? And we explore many more issues as well as misconceptions about polyamory. In this episode, I have a conversation with Sam Del Vecchio and he shares his own experience of being in polyamorous relationships. Sam is a somatic therapist, husband, father, farmer, carpenter, poet, and communitarian. He lives in Earthaven ecovillage, in the mountains of Western North Carolina, on occupied Cherokee land. H “Rule number one if you are diving into polyamory...read the books, save yourself some trouble and read the books” - Sam Del Vecchio

| 171. Repair is Key to Relationship Success | 18 Oct 2022 | 00:47:11 | |
The idea of “repair attempts” in a conflict has been especially important in understanding what matters about the way that couples manage conflict. John Gottman, (relationship expert and researcher) describes repair attempts as “any statement or action — silly or otherwise — that prevents negativity from escalating out of control.” An argument can be avoided and hurt feelings diffused by using repair attempts. If done successfully, they can help de-escalate conflict and keep things from getting out of hand. In this episode I have a conversation with my wife, Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky. She is the founder of Artsy Goddess Studio, where she actively carries out her role in helping others and the planet heal. Rainbow is passionate about art, as seen in the upcycled clothing she creates from second-hand materials, as well as the visual arts she creates, such as murals, paintings, and tapestries. She also helps women transform through voice empowering workshops and helps couples through workshops and retreats that she co-facilitates with me. “Everyone makes mistakes, it’s what you do next” - Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky Related Podcasts: Aftermath of a Fight or a Regrettable Incident Maintaining Connection Through Conflict

| 170. Defensiveness | 04 Oct 2022 | 00:59:26 | |
It’s natural to get defensive when you feel threatened, or criticized...but your defensiveness may not serve you, your partner, or your relationship. The sad thing is many of us react defensively without even thinking about it. It creates an atmosphere of contention, tension and most of the time blame that eventually leads to a loss of trust, alienation, and separation. Owning our defensiveness is the first step to changing that automatic reaction. In this episode, I have a conversation with my friend Gregg Levoy and we dive into this topic. Gregg is a frequent seminar leader who holds workshops in the faith-based, human-potential, educational, governmental, and business industries. He is a Passionate Living Expert who has penned bestselling books such as Vital Signs: The Nature and Nurture of Passion as well as Callings: Finding and Following An Authentic Life which has been named as one of the Top 20 Career Publications by the Workforce Information Group. He regularly shares his insights and expertise as a frequent contributor to Psychology Today. “I’m realizing that winning isn’t the objective, even though it feels good” - Gregg Levoy Related Content: Other Podcasts with Gregg Levoy: Circling: A Powerful Communication Tool New Love...Taking Risks To Be Real What is a Generous Conversation Connect with Gregg Levoy:

| 169. Focusing on the “WE” in Your Relationship: Being a Team | 20 Sep 2022 | 00:54:08 | |
Most couples struggle at times of how to build and feed the “US” or “WE” in their relationship vs. their individual needs and desires. Thinking of your partnership as a team shifts your focus. Suddenly it’s not “me versus you”, it’s “us”. The next step however, is shifting the thinking of this focus and putting it into action. In this episode, I have a conversation with Cathy Courtenay. Cathy is a relational coach and facilitator. She works with both couples and individuals who are striving to find deeper connection and intimacy both with themselves and each other. She helps her clients to see the patterns of relating that are holding them back from what they truly desire. Cathy also facilitates the practice of the Circling Method where she creates a safe space for people where they can stand in their truth and experience what is real for them. Responding to life’s call to find truth, Cathy is committed to a mission of helping uplift humanity and develop profound compassion and empathy in the world. “Being on the same team takes the frailty out of the relationship” - Cathy Courtenay Connect with Cathy Courtenay: Cathy Courtenay Website Cathy Courtenay on Facebook Related Content: Other Podcast Episodes with Cathy Developing a Healthy Relationship with Yourself Control Issues Relationship Sabotage Couples Communication: Circling Techniques Difficult Conversations Falling in Love Let’s Talk About It!
