    Gentle Village #017 - The Selfish Case for Generosity

    What do you do when you wake up feeling blue… but life still expects you to show up strong? In this episode of The Gentle Village, we explore the emotional reality of low mornings, the vulnerability of receiving negative feedback (including a juicy barrister story), and the subtle ways relationships either help us grow… or slowly shrink us. We unpack the power of appreciation as a green flag, the warning signs of yellow and red flags in relating, and what it really means to champion each other rather than compete, criticise, or withdraw. We also talk about emotional safety — the kind where you can express your truth without fear — and why generosity isn’t just “nice”… it’s actually one of the most selfishly beneficial things we can practise. Because when one person feels safer, more supported, and more seen… it creates a ripple effect far beyond the relationship itself.

    Gentle Village #014 - Could feeling unworthy of your relationship become your kink?

    Jamie and Neil discussed personal relationships and our feelings of unworthiness. When we reflect on our own and others' flaws can we reveal and play with our shadow aspects? How can we use games and kink to make this fun, arousing and connecting? We discuss the impact of childhood experiences and parental influences on developing beliefs about oneself. If we are able to focus on the positive aspects of trauma can it lead to personal growth, connection and even juiciness!?
