Our Nature: Conversations about the relationship between nature, spirituality, and well-being Alyssa Benjamin

Every so often, I have a conversation on the podcast that really sticks with me, inspires me, and makes me grateful to have a platform to share it. This was one of those conversations. This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Tenijah Hamilton of Bring Birds Back, a podcast about the joy of birds and the way humans can help them through simple, everyday actions. Tenijah is a writer, and executive and creative producer with a passion for using the transformative art of storytelling to instigate change.

What does a healthy, fulfilling partnership look and feel like? How can we navigate the trials and tribulations of romantic relationships with grace? This episode, part 2 of the relationship series, explores the lessons and experiences that shape what I’m referring to as a “conscious relationship.” The first part of this series, episode 62, revealed the types of relationships and patterns that my partner David and I were in before we met. This episode brings you into our current relationship dynamics and what we’ve learned about ourselves and each other in the four and a half years of our partnership.

Welcome to the wild ride that is the Relationship Series. In this conversation, my partner David and I embrace radical honesty to share our often challenging journeys with romantic relationships and how these experiences have shaped our relationships with ourselves and each other. P.S. - stay tuned to the end of the episode for a big announcement ;)
