Center For Relationship Wellness

Drs. Don & Carrie Cole

The Center for Relationship Wellness, founded by Drs. Don Cole and Carrie Cole, offers an approach to marital therapy that is based on the 40+ years of scientific research of Dr. John Gottman, recently voted as one of the Top 10 Most Influential Therapists of the past quarter-century by Psychotherapy Networker. Don Cole and Carrie Cole are both frequent contributors to media articles on relationships.Most couples struggle with some problems in their relationships at some point. Oftentimes they are able to work through them, but sometimes they need outside help to manage their differences.Many of us find it hard to take the first step to seek out guidance for lots of reasons. People want to believe they can solve their own problems. After all, we are intelligent human beings. And many have heard horror stories about marriage counseling gone terribly wrong. No one wants to expose themselves psychologically only to be criticized or told that they are wrong. After struggling with those anxieties, how does one go about choosing a therapist for marriage counseling?Certified by The Gottman Institute, Don and Carrie offer a practical approach that teaches couples how to build marital intimacy, renew respect for one another, and develop problem-solving skills to manage conflict.

The Shameless Sexual Revolution can only be liberated and spread if we escape the oppressive ideology of the past that has been allowed to corrode the deep passion that lies in all women for the explicit objective to advance a morality that holds NO validity today, yesterday or of anytime in the history of all mankind. We, women of the world, together shall forge a new path –NOT because we are weak alone - but because we are stronger as a single sharp point of power with one mind, one body and one soul channeling a revolutionary vision of our design and our values. Are you willing to wait for a better tomorrow to magically appear without sharing in the struggle we all know is required to generate any change in this world? We, SHAMELESS REBELS, are NOT going to wait one more day.

When you hear the word meditation, an image of a wise old monk setting on top of a mountain with his legs crossed, back straight, eyes closed, hands resting on his knees with the index and thumb touching might pop into your head. He’s in some kind of magical trance that takes years of training to control the mind well enough to achieve. Many of us in our go go go modern world often feel like we are missing out on something if we are not meditating three hours a day or at the very least being mindful and present in our body and mind. We want to feel connected but we don’t know how.

You may be thinking….ok Terah, I want to start meditating but what’s the best for me. There are so many different types of meditation practices out there Zen Meditation, Guided Meditation, Mindfulness Meditation, Mantra Meditation, Transcendental Meditation, Yoga Meditation, Third Eye Meditation, Tantra Meditation, Sound Meditation, Taoist Meditation, and much more. Those all sound great but I’m not really sure what’s different about all of them. However, I have one that is much different than all of these. It’s called Orgasmic Meditation….that got your attention, and yes, you heard me right….Orgasmic Meditation. This is far from a monk meditating in silent on a rocky mountain top. More like screaming in extreme pleasure on top of a mountain of fluffy pillows.

Our guest today, Stefania Brandner is the owner of Rewild Coaching where she works with women who are fed up with their routines and want to embrace their inner wildness. She practices virtual Orgasmic Meditation training to help women be more in touch with their body and sexuality. Since it is virtual (meaning it is on Skype), clients will be in the comfort of their own house as Stefania guides them to optimize their Orgasmic Meditation practice. She provides relevant information regarding the technique, tailored exercises and how to maximize sensations to the women participating and allows these women the space to benefit from the experience without any expectations. Stefania transports women out of their unfulfilling sexual history into a future full of open and connected sexual adventures that prioritize their pleasure with the respect it deserves. Sound interesting? Want to learn more about how Orgasmic Meditation actually works from Stefania herself? Me too!

“Domination's the name of the game in bed or in life, They're both just the same, Except in one you're fulfilled at the end of the day, Let's play master and servant”.

This is how Depeche Mode described what is now called “Kink” in their hit song “Master And Servant”. When I first heard this song as a teenager, I had no idea what they were talking about. I just thought it was a cool song from one of my favorite bands and to be completely open at the time making out with a boy was as far as I could even think about. Now I understand what they are talking about but like many of us I don’t know the deep down value of this play. What draws someone to dominating another person in bed or even better why would someone want to be dominated? Is this just fun couple’s play or is there something about it that being treated like a dog helps balance a person out? Like many of you I’m curious to learn more; to answer these questions and more we interviewed “The Supernova of Kink” from San Francisco. With a title like that we should get to the bottom of this matter…..then SPANK the hell out of it!

Our guest today, Midori “The Supernova of Kink” is a renowned educator and writer on sexuality that emerged from the Sex Positive Movement in San Francisco in the early 1990’s.
Midori is known for tackling challenging topics with fresh and relevant insights which calls on her “head-heart-hands” method to create a space where people are allowed individual self-exploration. Fundamentally she is motivated by helping people to create authentic and intimate relationships while emphasizing self-actualization, shame reduction, acceptance, and justice.
Her writing is extensive, ranging from numerous articles, columns, works of fiction, to instructional books. She is the author of The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage, Wild Side Sex, and Master Han's Daughter. She leads transformative small group intensives, including ForteFemme: Women’s Dominance Weekend Intensive, Rope Dojo ®, and The Wanted Man intensive.

When she's not traveling and teaching, she's creating provocative and haunting art and performances.

When most people talk about evolutionary psychology they will give the example of a caveman in the wilderness that hears a rustle in the bushes. This caveman from 1 million years ago can think it is just the wind or a lion that’s about to eat him. Without knowing this caveman will have three ways to react; fight, flight or freeze. Even though we are now modern super sophisticated homosapiens that never come across a lion in our iphone and internet world we still have the same reaction as our million year old caveman ancestors when something unexpected happens. It may not be a lion but a surprise email from our boss’s boss can strike fear to our core when we don’t know if we are getting a promotion or fired. We will have the same fight, flight or freeze reaction as our caveman ancestor. You may see the email; freeze and think of what this surprise email is all about. Or you could run away from it and refuse to open it. Or you could get all worked up and be ready to argue a point you don’t even know what it is yet. Evolutionary psychology is a hybrid discipline that draws insights from modern evolutionary theory, biology, cognitive psychology, anthropology, economics, computer science, and paleoarchaeology.

Our guest today, Todd Shackelford, Ph.D. is distinguished Professor and Chair of Psychology at Oakland University and Co-Director of the Evolutionary Psychology Lab. The focus of the Evolutionary Psychology Lab is on the psychology of close relationships, particularly romantic relationships. They study phenomena such as jealousy, infidelity, relationship satisfaction, physical abuse, and sexuality. Current research projects include a diary study of conflict within married couples, and a study of couples involved in violent relationships. Another line of work addresses murder and violence, particularly in romantic relationships, using national crime data.

Todd does a great job of helping us all understand ourselves better and how to use this to have a better relationship with others.

At the end of the movie “Schindler’s List”, Oskar Schindler met with the 1,200 Jewish workers he forged identification papers for and bribed Nazi officers into releasing from the concentration camp Auschwitz to work in his Nazi ammunition factory to declare they were all free to go. During this very emotional scene, Schindler is saying good-bye to his good and trusted friend that was the financial manager of the plant. As Schindler stands there with a gold Nazi swastika medallion on the label of his suit, his friend hands him a letter signed by everyone and a ring. Written on the ring was a message from the Talmud that said, “Whoever saves one life saves the world entire.” As Schindler slowly puts on this priceless ring he looks over the sea of faces he saved and begins to feel regret for not doing more. He questions why he kept his car because that could’ve saved 10 people and the gold Nazi medallion could’ve saved one person. Schindler entered the war as a wealthy industrialist; by the end, he was bankrupt. The real Oskar Schindler is the only member of the Nazi party to be buried on Mount Zion in Jerusalem.

Our guest today, Ari Sytner is a man that embodies the Talmud saying on Schindler’s ring. He went above and beyond the normal gift of kindness many of us pat ourselves on the back for doing. Ari gave a perfect stranger the gift of life by donating one of his kidneys. That’s right….he gave a kidney to a single mother of three children that would’ve died without it. I know what you’re thinking; why in the world would he do this? Ari’s answer to this question would be much different before and after the experience. Before the donation he was a very risk adverse person that would’ve had a difficult time quantifying the value of this very risky endeavor for an unknown reward. After the donation he was filled with so much joy, pride, meaning and love that he wishes he had more kidneys to give; much like Schindler wished he would’ve sold everything to help more Jews live. Ari experienced the powerful impact of what saving one life really means and he carries this spirit into the intense couples therapy he does to save relationships now.

Ari is a rabbi, social worker, therapist, inspirational speaker, Huffington Post contributor, blogger, CEO, organizational strategist, consultant and author of the book “The Kidney Donor’s Journey: 100 Questions I Asked Before Donating My Kidney”. Ari is an inspiration and is the change he wants to see in the world. Sit back and enjoy this fantastic interview with Ari Sytner as he takes us on an emotional roller coaster

When you hear the term “Pick Up Artist” you may picture a cheesy guy telling embarrassingly bad lines to a girl like….”Did it hurt? When you fell from Heaven?” Or “If I could rearrange the alphabet I would put U and I together.” Or even more ridiculous “Are you from Tennessee? Because you’re the only 10 I see!” I’m pretty sure that these so-called “Pick Up Lines” never actually picked anyone up. Best case they got a laugh but most likely they were dealt an EPIC eye roll from the extremely unimpressed lady that had the misfortune to hear them. I’m not even sure if this caricature of a pick up artist ever really existed, but I do know that the modern Pick Up Artist community does exist and it does have trainable methods that can help men get out of their houses and start approaching real women in the real world with more confidence. Guys like Rolling Stones writer, Neil Strauss, popularized this underground community in his bestselling book “The Game”. “Neil Strauss was a High School Loser, Never Made it with the Ladies, Till the boys told him something he missed.” Wait a second….was that the lyrics from the Aerosmith song “Walk This Way”? Never the less….Neil was not good with the ladies and the Pick Up Artist community taught him how. He actually became one of the best in the world at picking up women. He then started going around the country to spread the gospel of picking up women.

Our guest today, Harris O’Malley aka Dr. NerdLove, participated in one of Neil Strauss’s Pick Up Artist seminars to learn how to be better with women. This completely changed his life. He became more confident which allowed him to be his true self. The Pick Up Artist community was a jumping off point for him but not the end. He became a master at picking up women but having a long lasting meaningful relationship was still very illusive. He walked away from the Pick Up Artist world and developed the skills to have a real relationship. Today he has it all and he shares the skills he fought hard to learn though his books, podcast, articles, website and private coaching. His podcast Paging Dr. NerdLove is a must for any man trying to understand women better….let’s be honest that’s every guy. Just listen to these great titles from the Paging Dr. NerdLove podcasts “What Men Get Wrong About Women”, “What’s the line Between Flirting And Harassment?”, “The 5 Texting Mistakes That Cost You Dates”, “This is What Makes You Creepy”. How much to you want to listen to these shows? Dr. NerdLove has an amazing ability to deliver his message. He’s a cross between Howard Stern’s blunt honestly, Robin William’s ultra fast and sharp comedic mind, and Dr. Ruth’s straight forward sex talk. You’ll be laughing your butt off as you’re learning important dating and relationship skills. Before you turn off our podcast and go check out Paging Dr. NerdLove, listen to this awesome interview with the Doctor himself right now.

Life has a funny way of putting obstacles in our path that seem impossible but end up being the best thing that has ever happened to us. Marcus Aurelius the great Roman Philosopher Emperor wrote, “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” A famous parable called “The King and the Boulder” also illustrates this point

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock.

Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road.
After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand.

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

Our guest today Olga Szakal is a living example of this willingness to make obstacles in her way.…well…..her BITCH! Calling her a fighter is an understatement. She grew up in the 1980s Soviet Union specifically Siberia where it’s so cold and desolate in places that some of Stalin’s prison camps didn’t even have walls because no one could survive outside the camp. Siberia has a highway called “Road of Bones” because so many forced laborers from these prison camps died building it that they used their bones in the foundation of the road. How crazy is that? In the Soviet Union, anything money related like profits were prohibited and even ILLEGAL. This did not stop Olga when she was teenager. She sold blue jeans and female products on the Black Market to make money to survive. This is a much different experience than what I had in the 1980’s. Olga had to go to the black market to buy Levis and tampons. I went to the Mall and Target.

She got out of the Soviet Union with a scholarship to an American college. She built an all American life, married with four kids and like many American marriages she went through a painful divorce. Did this stop her? Hell NO! She built a real estate empire that has made her a millionaire. Now she wants to help women Make Mid-Life SEXY. She is the author of “The Mid-Life Crisis Awakening, How To Rise Up and Become The Woman You Were Always Meant To Be”. She is also the co-host of a weekly Mommy Talk Live Show on the brand new Facebook TV Channel. She is an amazing woman with so much wisdom to share!

Why are so many smart successful women still single? They have it all….great job, beautiful house, amazing friends but their romantic life is either non-existent or it’s so bad that calling it a train wreck would be an upgrade. So what’s the deal? Modern men claim they want smart, successful and independent women…but do they really? The lab data and the real world practice are not adding up. It appears that women winning in life is some kind of repellent to men. What’s a smart modern woman to do now? Throw on the apron and become the 1950’s TV wife or just keep winning and telling yourself “I don’t need a man to be happy. I have my vibrator and endless batteries”? Lucky for you…you don’t have to settle for either.

Our guest today, Jenna Birch, authored the book “The Love Gap: A Radical Plan to Win in Life and Love”. The Love Gap is a guide for modern women to have it all. She lays out the four key profiles women encounter dating while offering a complete plan for building modern relationships that take into account these tricky new gender dynamics. If you are a smart woman that is wondering why you are still single, you need to read “The Love Gap” RIGHT NOW! Wait wait wait… wait a second…. FIRST….listen to our awesome podcast with Jenna Birch….then immediately after…go get “The Love Gap” and turn your love life around.

Did Jesus have SEX!?!...WHAT! Did he get married?....COME ON NOW! People are starting to believe that this is true based on the Gnostic Gospels. What’s the Gnostic Gospels you ask? The Gnostic Gospels are Gospels that were condemned from being in the New Testament. These gospels were hidden from the world for almost 2000 years. They were found buried in an area 200 miles south of Cairo Egypt in 1945 by two farmers looking for fertilizer. How crazy is that? They were digging for fertilizer and found some bones and a large sealed jar. Most of us would be so curious to open an old sealed jar found in the ground that we would’ve opened it immediately. These two guys didn’t open it right away? Why you ask? You’re not going to believe this….they actually thought an evil GENIE would come out. I can’t make this stuff up. They later came to their senses and imagined it full of Gold. Of course….Gold motivated them to break the jar. They didn’t find gold but they did find thirteen leather-bound papyrus (books) comprised of 52 Gnostic treatises, three works belonging to Corpus Hermeticum and a partial translation of Plato’s Republic….Quite a find for a couple of farmers. Since the discovery in 1945, scholars have been studying these new gospels which include Jesus. However, the Jesus in these gospels is unrecognizable from the Jesus found in the New Testament. This was a Jesus that didn’t die, took revenge on his enemies and some say had sex and even got married. This is a much different person than the “Turn the other check” man most of us learned about in Sunday school.

Our guest today, Dr. Jen has a doctorate in Counseling Psychology, is a psychotherapist and sex therapist and she has been studying the hidden sex positive teachings from the Gnostic Gospels which has lead her to author a forthcoming book titled “What was Jesus’ Hidden Message about Sacred Sexuality?”. Dr. Jen grew up in a conservative Irish Catholic home where she only heard about the evils of sex. She always intuitively felt that the Church wasn’t sharing the whole message about sex as taught by Jesus, so she went on a personal quest to find out if Jesus had a sex positive teaching. She believes that this forgotten wisdom can enhance sexual satisfaction, bring couples closer together and help believers reconcile faith with sex in a profoundly uplifting way.

This podcast will be controversial and even difficult for many to listen to. If you are easily offended by the thought of a Jesus that contradicts your personal view, please DO NOT Listen to this podcast. I believe this is a fair warning….don’t you?

Single and searching in the modern app and online dating world is constantly evolving at a speed that may be quicker than people can keep up with. Every generation has it’s challenges to find love but today’s way of ordering a boyfriend like a pizza is new. Wow he’s hot and he’s not. Swipe left no no no swipe right. I love this guy….even though we have never met. Do I call him back…or text him…or ghost him? How do I know if he really wants a relationship or just a hookup? Should I play hard to get or is that just something my grandma would tell me to do? Is this guy safe? When should I introduce my dating app boyfriend to my friends? Will I ever find love with a dating app or online or is this just a step above swinging?

It’s not easy out there but in our series “Single and Searching” we explore modern dating with singles that want to find love.

Many women want to know if guys really like to go down on them or are they just putting in some time before they move onto what they want. Let’s be honest ladies….we LOVE oral sex but many of us can’t fully enjoy it because we are worried that he doesn’t like it, I smell down there, he must think my pussy is weird looking especially with his front row view right now, will he think I’m a slut if he knows how much I love this, and so on. All of these questions rolling around in your head can cause you to miss out on something wonderful.

On today’s show we interview Shaun Galanos. Shaun is the host of a playful and honest podcast about modern sexuality and intimacy called ‘The Love Drive”. The Love Drive podcast was born and exists with the sole mission to make sex and love less awkward by talking about it. Shaun brings humor and depth to subjects many are too afraid to talk about. His podcast is sex-positive with true intentions to help people learn more about each other.

Sex Addiction has become a modern buzz word that has given powerful men a “Get out of Jail Free” card when they are caught cheating on their wives. We have all seen the famous men that get caught cheating then go to an expensive rehab center to cure them from this “demonic force” that has taken over their lives. It’s happened so many times in the past three decades that it’s become a punch line on shows like South Park. But is Sex Addiction real or a myth and can it be treated? On this podcast we interview an expert on Sexual Addiction, Dr. David Ley. He has become world famous for his critical stance regarding sex addiction but he has the credentials to back it up.

Dr. David Ley is a Board-certified sex therapist, supervisor of sex therapy and Director of New Mexico Solutions, a large outpatient mental health and substance abuse program in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He has published three critically-acclaimed books, Insatiable Wives, The Myth of Sexual Addiction and Ethical Porn for Dicks: A Man’s Guide to Responsible Viewing Pleasure. He is a frequent commentator in media around the world, on shows such as Dr. Phil, Katie Couric, CNN, Playboy and in the Washington Post.

What does Sex Worker mean to you? Does it make you think of some underworld where drug addicted women trade their bodies for another hit of heroin or meth with no regard to their future or anyone else? Or do you think of a middle class Soccer Mom taking care of her kids, managing her own company and creating a charity? It may be time to move past the Hollywood version of a Sex Worker. Today’s modern sex workers are online, live in suburbia, they are safe, create charities to help other sex workers and raise their children with more quality time than anyone with a 9 to 5 job.

In this podcast we interview two amazing women, Penny Trait and Alex Bishop, both proud online sex workers and even prouder single mothers who created a charity porn project called I Give A Fuck Clips with their fellow sex worker colleague Jessie Sage. Alex and Penny may change your opinion of what a real sex worker is in the 21st Century.

Where do men go when they are searching for meaning? The need for meaning and purpose is an intrinsic part of a life that is completely satisfying and has no regret. The difficulty for many men is they feel obligated to suppress inner issues like childhood trauma, wants, dreams, desires and emotions to appear strong to the outside world. Sometimes you can have everything in your life in the right order, your job, family, friends..... it looks good on paper, but you still feel empty inside. Or maybe your life has gone off track and you are trying to figure out how to get back to where you need to be. The ManKind Project is a group where men encourage other men to stop putting on a front and put in the hard work to get to the core issues that are making them feel empty inside.

The Mankind Project serves close to 10,000 men each week in 11 regions worldwide through challenging programs designed to empower men to missions of service to support men to make a difference in the lives of others. They have men’s groups that provide mentorship to men at all levels of success to destroy the protected walls men build to hide themselves from the emotions inside. These groups will hold men accountable for the stories they tell themselves while making them challenge the fear. The Mankind Project gives men the power to blow up the walls that are blocking them from the beauty that is on the other side of them. The Mankind Project has transformed the lives of millions of men over the years by helping them find their WHY. We met with three men David, Frank, and Terry, that have been positively affected by The Mankind Project and they share their stories with us.

Anxiety is a pretty normal part of our fast paced world and it's rather adaptive. It's something that a lot of us feel. But what happens if it becomes so overwhelming that you can't function? When you worry about everything and you feel like it's all out of control? Also trauma effects how you deal with the world and your relationships. How do we deal with these things personally and with a partner that has these issues. How do you deal with those? That is exactly what we talk about with Rachel Hasper.

Rachel is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Texas and Missouri, and a Board Certified Telemental Health Provider. She received her Masters degree, summa cum laude, in Counseling and Human Development from Saint Louis University and her Bachelors degree in Education from the University of Redlands, California.

The Shameless Sexual Revolution can only be liberated and spread if we escape the oppressive ideology of the past that has been allowed to corrode the deep passion that lies in all women for the explicit objective to advance a morality that holds NO validity today, yesterday or of anytime in the history of all mankind. We, women of the world, together shall forge a new path –NOT because we are weak alone - but because we are stronger as a single sharp point of power with one mind, one body and one soul channeling a revolutionary vision of our design and our values. Are you willing to wait for a better tomorrow to magically appear without sharing in the struggle we all know is required to generate any change in this world? We, SHAMELESS REBELS, are NOT going to wait one more day.

Couples In Conflict is a series designed to help couples have a better relationship. We all have visions of riding into the Sunset on a white horse together and living a fairy tale life and then BAM small things start to add up to create negative feelings. All the sudden you find yourselves arguing over the placing of a rug, what's for dinner and then that escalates into remembering every little thing the other person did to hurt and how your partner must not really love you anymore. You have found yourself in the land of defensiveness and contempt. It's a dark forest dominated by feelings of fear, pride and the inability to give your partner the benefit of the doubt. You wonder...."How did we get here?" Often our dreams lie in the smallest of things and we let them go to avoid conflict or the fear that our partner will not accept them. Getting out of defensiveness and contempt takes working through our own fears and taking the risk of giving our partners the benefit of the doubt to try to understand each other instead of defend.

Join us as we work with couples to help them get from a state of conflict to acceptance in our series Couples In Conflict.

Shaun Galanos is the host of The Love Drive, the podcast that exists to make sex and love less awkward. He is also a coach and consultant helping people drive more sex and love to their lives.

Shaun is a lover of people and an over-communicator, and somewhere along the way, he realized that honest, playful communication was the key to better relationships, more sex, and less awkwardness.

But sex and love didn't always come easily to him. Shaun struggled hard growing up. he didn't know how to approach people he was attracted to, ask people out without coming off creepy, or ask for what he wanted. Everything just felt so, awkward.

After a series of disappointing sexual encounters and failed relationships, Shaun discovered that he was going to have to do the work if he wanted a more fulfilling sex life and a more connected love life.

After putting into practice everything Shaun learned along the way, it was time to share his findings.

The Love Drive podcast was born and exists with the sole mission to make sex and love less awkward by talking about it.

Sometimes you need another opinion. A new perspective. A different point of view.

Let’s get real. There are times when you need an outsider to drive your inside game.

Especially when it comes to communication because messaging can be a real pain in the rump. Figuring out what to say and how to say it is a beast. Discovering the best way to engage with others, captivate your crew, and connect with the world that exists outside your thought bubble feels like a mind-numbing maze.

You know the responses you want, right? You want people to love you and communicate in ways that work. You want conversations to surprise you with caring connections. You want your relationships to beat your sky-high expectations.

This is where Dr. Rodríguez comes in.

With the mind of a data scientist, the heart of coach and the spirit of a savvy strategist, he talks the talk and walks the walk in ways that will take your communication to the next level.

Dr. Rodríguez can be reached on Twitter twitter.com/JRodriguez_PhD (J. Rodriguez, Ph.D.) and on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/jose-i-rodriguez-ph-d-abb53517/

If you could use an outside perspective, please reach out today. Dr. Rodríguez can’t wait to hear your story and help you come up with original strategies and solutions that work for you.
