Sep 27, 2020•57 min•Ep 38•Transcript available on Metacast One of the misconceptions about polyamory is that the relationship is always open. There are times and places for a "closed' relationship, where the partners can establish a sense of safety in the relationship. That is what Kyle and Megan explore in this episode, after they nearly let their fear get the best of them. Instead, they decided to ask for what they need while they are apart - a focus on each other (and their other partner). The best thing about polyamory is that you can create t...
Sep 15, 2020•54 min•Ep 37•Transcript available on Metacast We all face fears when in relationships, especially as those relationships deepen. In this episode, Marty speaks from a vulnerable place, as he faces his fears of losing his partner in South America.

Jul 06, 2020•1 hr 10 min•Ep 29•Transcript available on Metacast Please note - this episode is NOT about polyamory. We believe that a collective transformation in progress, and individually we each have a personal transformation in progress.

If we hope for a collective transformation of our society, we have to s...

Jun 09, 2020•1 hr 25 min•Transcript available on Metacast "As you adopt a practice of minimalism around objects, it starts to bleed into other areas and dimensions of your life. Minimalism is a clearing out process, and that process applies to relationships too. You start clearing out the toxic, loud, noisy, time-consuming relationships that don't really pay off, and you start giving yourself more time. You start realizing who you have neglected and you realize that one of those people might be yourself." - Marty Bhatia on "Clearing the Noi...

May 11, 2020•1 hr•Ep 25•Transcript available on Metacast Relationships are not static, they evolve over time naturally if we allow them to. Unfortunately, we usually don't recognize those moments as we are going through them, because they can occur to us as a breakdown or crisis of the relationship.

Apr 23, 2020•1 hr 11 min•Ep 22•Transcript available on Metacast Right now, most of us could use more “safe spaces” to feel and express our feelings.
