    187. The Householder’s Path: Sacred Practice for Everyday Life

    187. The Householder’s Path: Sacred Practice for Everyday Life

    In this episode I have a conversation with Mana Vermeulen-McLeod . Mana has been an Earthaven Ecovillage (in Black Mountain, NC) resident and member since 2007. She believes in the potential of transformation in each present moment. She is a mother, natural builder, hair-dresser and conflict mediator at her village. A social activist committed to anti-oppression work in areas of race, gender and class differences. Always a student of life, she has worked as a student advisor for Gaia University, where she also received her Associate Degree in Integrated Eco-social Design. She is now a Life Coach based in authenticity and Tantric Philosophy. You can find her @tantramom on Instagram.
    We have a conversation about The Householder’s Path. When you choose a spiritual path it doesn’t necessarily mean you renounce everything. The Path of the Householder is an everyday person with a job and a family, in other words is engaged in an earthly life but also has a spiritual practice. Mana shares with us what led her on this path and how she is continuously practicing this balance.
    “Don’t expect the spiritual path be the same for everyone...find your own way.”

    186. Compromising in a Relationship

    186. Compromising in a Relationship

    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.
    We talk about how to compromise in a relationship. What makes up healthy and unhealthy compromise. We talk about the elements of empathy, authenticity, good communication, balance and good intent. We also talk about acquiescing, giving in and resentments and how those play in compromising.
    “No one’s perspective is more important than the other’s”

    185. Emotional Flooding: Don’t let it Ruin Your Relationship

    185. Emotional Flooding: Don’t let it Ruin Your Relationship

    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”.
    - Corey Costanzo

    184. Single Parenting: The Challenges and Rewards

    184. Single Parenting: The Challenges and Rewards

    Few parents are prepared to deal with the aftermath of the loss of a partner, whether from divorce, separation death or regardless of the cause. Single parenting has insurmountable challenges that can cause great stress and at times hardship. However, the flip side, single parenting also has its huge joys and rewards.
    In this episode, I have a conversation with Cathy Courtenay in which she shares her experience of being a single parent. 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.
     
    “Creating the environment of emotional safety for your kids is paramount”

    183. HearShare: Change Your Behavior by Mentally Rehearsing

    183. HearShare: Change Your Behavior by Mentally Rehearsing

    In this solocast I talk about the importance of mental rehearsal as a skill to change your behaviors and emotional responses. When you mentally rehearse something before it happens, you’re more likely to achieve that desired outcome. By mentally rehearsing an anticipated experience before it happens, you’re actually getting better at the skillset.
    “The practice of mental rehearsal builds muscle memory, the language of the body” - ~Pripo Teplitsky

    182. Grateful Living: Transform Your Emotions and Relationships

    182. Grateful Living: Transform Your Emotions and Relationships

    In this episode I have a conversation with Frederic Terral. He began his career with The Walt Disney Company, working on film, video & digital media projects. He is seasoned creative director who has led numerous branding initiatives for Fortune 500 companies, non-profits, startups and government agencies. He launched pockitudes.com in 2016 to share the practice he developed to support his mental well-being. Today he continues to develop new products and speak about his journey to positive mental wellness to groups throughout the country.
    We have a conversation about the power of gratitude and how that focus and practice can change states of depression, anxiety, shame, etc, to a more uplifting and positive way of living and behaving. Frederic shares his journey of turning his life in a different direction. The consistent practice can take many forms including the daily ritual of writing in a gratitude journal. We also discuss how appreciation and gratitude are complimentary feelings and the benefits can transform states of being.
    “The key, for me, is to let this tiny act become a habit, a habit to be grateful and choose happiness.”

Keffal ,

Learning in every podcast!

I have been listening to Pripo for 9 or so months and am so appreciative of the wisdom and lessons he offers in each and every podcast. He has a relaxed and welcoming delivery that offers hope for those of us looking to gain clarity about relationships. I myself didn’t have great relationship role models growing up and have found his podcast helps to fill that knowledge/ experience gap. His podcast topics are delivered by him or guests and are always on point with laughter, compassion, and personal stories (that make the topics all so relatable). We can all learn to relate a little better for the lessons he offers.
Thank you Pripo!

A gem of authenticity

This podcast is a breath of fresh air to the arena of relationship issues and tips. Pripo is not a dry therapist his humaneness, authenticity, care and humility is mixed with his experience as relationship therapist. That’s a wonderful combination and a pleasure to listen.
