The Loving Challenger Megan Bhatia

Fear - we all feel it. It's a human experience.

The biggest factor around fear is how you relate to it. This TLC short, I share a bit of my own experience around fear and self-doubt.



What is your relationship to fear?

Yes, this is the last Amory podcast. But...there's something new coming too!



Marty, Kyle and I started this podcast in August of 2019. That was almost 4 years ago. A lot has changed in those four years. I am beyond grateful for what we created here, and for all of you who have connected with us here.



I am completing Amory podcast, but opening up a larger conversation. I'm looking to connect with even more people who are challenging the status quo and breaking out of the normative paradigm of the systems undergoing major change right now.



Stay tuned for The Loving Challenger, and in the meantime, feel free to share any comments, questions, feedback or anything that you've gained from Amory. The new IG handle is @lovingchallenger (main) or @thelovingchallenger (personal).



If YOU are a Loving Challenger and want to join the community, send a DM on IG and I'll share more information. Thanks!

Hello friends! There is going to be SO MUCH to take from this conversation with Shai Fishman and Lea Dawn from Leveled Up Love. They not only share their own personal experience in non-monogamy, they have amazing frameworks to support you in your journey no matter where you are at. They have a holistic team approach to open relationship Thera-coaching and I'm personally so thrilled to be a part of their amazing network!

After the standard guilt, shame, and stagnation, he had to give open relating a try. But opening up his marriage had its unique challenges and he was far from prepared, so he struggled needlessly! After 13 years, some hard-won lessons, and advice from top experts, he became passionate about sharing all of his knowledge with those who need it.

Jackie Titus shares her polyamorous journey over the last few years, with the main focus of how she and her 2 partners sought 3-way legal custody of their baby boy. Jackie also shares about her challenging coming out process as both bi-sexual and polyamorous, coming from a religious background that does not support either of these.



I'm sure you'll see why I asked Jackie to share her story...she's a wonderful example of what can happen when you believe something's possible AND take action to make it so! She and her partners are stepping into new legal territory as trailblazers and I'm sure there will be many to follow.

Jessica Fern's first book, PolySecure, rocked my world and started me down my path of Self-Love. Her 2nd book, Polywise, authored with David Cooley is just as revolutionary - right in the sweet spot of polyamory and personal growth. I appreciate both Jessica and David's candid honesty regarding their own personal life paths and how they have gained the knowledge they included in the book. What a conversation!



FYI - part of the episode we had to cut because we lost connection with Jessica. In my edits, I accidentally cut out the part where David says how you can find him. Please find him directly at www.resortativerelationship.com
