    257. Managing Stress Together: My Wife's and My Account of Coping With a Recent Incident of Stress

    Yvonne Rainbow Teplitsky 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 she co-facilitates couples retreats and workshops with me. Stress can negatively affects both partners' well-being and relationships, often leading to increased arguments, decreased intimacy, and a general sense of disconnection. The strain of dealing with stress often affects communication, making it difficult for partners to understand each other's needs and feelings. However, it can also bring a couple together, as they demonstrate their connection and positive attunement.  In this episode, my wife Rainbow and I have a conversation of a recent stressful event in our lives and how we navigated it.

    256. (Re-Air ep.13) Heartshare: The Art of Apology

    When was the last time you said 'I'm sorry' and truly meant it? It is often easy to say the words, but to truly feel sorry - to be vulnerable, take accountability, and try to change a bad behavior or habit - it can often prove more difficult. We tend to say 'I am sorry' when we feel embarrassed about mistakes or trying to appease another person. The art of apologizing is a critical skill we must learn in order to build deep, meaningful relationship with those around us. And while we often try to avoid conflict in our day-to-day lives - especially with those closest to us - it's important to remember that it is through conflict and differences that we learn, grow, and improve ourselves and our relationships. In this solocast, I talk about "the art of apologizing" and why it is critical for deepening your relationships. I explain why conflict is necessary for self-growth and understanding and the connection between self-compassion, accountability, and a sincere apology. I also explain how a sincere apology can impact the healing process following a hurtful event, why it's okay to take time to truly feel sorry before apologizing, and how it can often lead to acceptance and forgiveness.

    Jared Hinton M.A, M.A.T, LCMHC is a psychotherapist in private practice in Asheville, NC. Jared is a husband, father, and a person in long-term recovery. His work focuses on helping individuals and couples heal from patterns of ancestral, familial, and relational trauma. Jared is a graduate of Naropa University's Contemplative and Buddhist Psychology program and a student of the Appalachian Gestalt Institute in Asheville. In this episode, Jared and I discuss how these two experiences often arrive together in long-term intimate relationships, especially after the initial romantic "honeymoon" phase fades (usually 6 months to 3-4 years in. We discuss that disillusionment is the inevitable moment when the projection collapses. Where egolessness is relating from a place where your happiness and okayness are no longer 100% dependent on the other person's behavior, mood or validation.

    252. Overcoming the Fear of Confrontation

    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 my good friend. In this episode, Corey and I have a conversation about the fear of confrontation. Most people aren't comfortable confronting others. That's normal. But if you avoid speaking up about your own needs that can lead to self judgement, inauthenticity and people pleasing. Although confrontation can be stressful, conflict can even be beneficial; if you handle it the right way, it can resolve problems and make a relationship stronger.

    251. HeartShare: Should I Expect My Partner to Change?

    In this solocast I talk about the desire to change our partner and how well that works (tongue and cheek). It is reasonable to expect personal growth and evolution within a relationship, but this should be a shared journey of self-reflection and mutual support, not a one-sided demand. People can change, and that is when they truly want to! Related Content: Other Podcast Episodes Managing Expectations in Relationships HeartShare: Expressing Needs Let's Talk About It!

    250. Understanding Emotional Immaturity

    Derek Rutter is a therapist in private practice in Asheville, North Carolina. His approach specializes in using somatic parts work in the treatment of trauma, addiction, and attachment wounds. In addition to working as a therapist, Derek is a father, partner, artist and athlete. He loves the big questions and cherishes the small things. Some people think he's funny. In this episode, Derek and I discuss how emotional immaturity isn't about age—it's about the inability or unwillingness to handle emotions in a healthy, adult way. In relationships, it shows up as patterns that consistently hurt connection, trust, and growth. Many emotionally immature people were raised in homes where emotions were punished, ignored, or explosive—so it feels normal to them. Emotionally immature people often love intensely—but conditionally. The relationship feels passionate and deep… until there's conflict or discomfort. Emotional maturity means two people can feel big things—anger, fear, sadness—and still treat each other with respect and care while working through it.
