Bringing Sex Out of the Shadows With Ryan Thomas

Within every relationship, there comes a point (when we're out of the honeymoon phase) where we settle into a more automated track of relating with one another. In this more emotionally bonded place, the sex life of a couple can and often does shift a little. This normal experience, is understood as abnormal because we compare the relationship now to the honeymoon phase and we compare our reality to what we see in movies, tv, social media or assumptions we make about other friends who are in relationships...can really mess with the flow of a connection and disconnect you from the unique truth of how much sex is normal for you as a couple. In this episode we cover: • Where the idea of "what is normal" comes from• Why we compare our relationship reality to a constructed fantasy• Your ideal sex life has everything to do with knowing yourself deeply and intimately on an EMOTIONAL level• Why it is NORMAL for your sex life to change and vary and how to discuss this without shaming yourself or your partner• Why couples get into obligatory sex and why that is damaging to the connection and a huge act of self-abandon• Using sex as the gateway to deeper emotional intimacy vs as a way to celebrate the emotional intimacy already present•  The importance of having sex from a connected INTERNAL place as a way to set the most honest agreements and practices around intimacy.Ready for more relational education?Join the Legendary Love Academy HERE for weekly dating and relationship content exclusive to our community.Ready to meet and hang with other Legendary Lovers?

A Guide to Feeling Your Feelings in a Breakup

Who we are when we first get together with someone can be very different than who we ultimately become. A wonderful example of this is our dear friends Ben and Renae Oosterveld. They've been together for 16 years, have 5 kids and have been through the wild world of personal and relational transformation in that time.In this interview we explore the world what it actually looks like behind the scenes of a long-term relationship, when it comes to remaining committed when both people are growing, changing and evolving. We also explore what its like when two people who are so different pair up in partnership and how to come together as a team, instead of opposing one another in a ego battleground. We loved these two and can't wait to have them back on! Connect With Ben and RenaeRenae's Instagram: Plugged In ParentBen's Instagram: HEREBen's Upcoming March 2020 Event (Kelsey is speaking at): HEREWant More Love Education? Kelsey's next online webinar class is FEB 1st 2020 and we're diving deep into GHOSTING and REJECTION. Grab your spot HERE and use the promocode: EARLYBIRD for $15 off (promo code ends Jan 26th)Join The Weekly Love ClubCan't get enough of the show?

A Mis-Match Made  in Heaven w/ Ben and Renae Oosterveld

If every couple is a unique pairing, why is it that we have on standard (and very vague) "understanding" of what commitment is in the context of a "committed relationship"?To have the most aligned partnership, every couple needs to explore their own personal understandings of commitment and then together come up with a united agreement about what commitment will mean to their unique relationship. *In this episode we cover: • Why shit comes up after we make bigger commitments.• When doubts, fears and insecurities about your commitment pop up, what to do with that material.• Why its normal to have doubts even in the most committed and aligned relationship.• Our personal examples of how doubts and resistance manifest for us in our relationship and what we do to clear them and stay connected.• What healthy commitment actually means and what it looks like. • Couple creation exercises to support you in being committed on purpose in your relationship.Looking for more relational education?Stay up to date on all upcoming trainings, webinars, classes and programs, along with all our weekly blogs and newsletters over at The Legendary Love Academy HERECan't get enough of the show?

Why Commitment is So Much More Than Being Faithful

Commitment is one of those things we know we need to look for, we know we want it, but it's so nuanced that it can be difficult to define what we're really after when we're on the commitment hunt. In this episode we explore: • What you relationship to commitment is and how being single is a great time to re-evaluate your commitments and re-anchor into what is most important to you.• Why being in a committed relationship with yourself is a pre-req to TRUE LOVE• Are your commitments genuine soul commitments?• How you relate to yourself and your commitments in the presence of someone new can tell you very critical information about relational alignment.• Relationships can be containers of self-betrayal and self-abandonment and still be traditionally committed. • Aligned relational commitment requires your self-alignment. • The process of building up a healthy personal relationship to commitment and how to hold true to that dynamic in a new dating situation. Looking for more relational education? Stay up to date on all upcoming trainings, webinars, classes and programs, along with all our weekly blogs and newsletters over at The Legendary Love Academy HERECan't get enough of the show?

So your feelings to reach out are very normal and common. • What to do with the impulse and feelings in a way that doesn't reinforce more self-abandonment and internal rejection. • The shame that comes up in a breakup and is amplified with nosey relatives asking invasive questions or making of side comments can be a very valuable teacher if you know how to use it. • Looking back on the decade can help you heal your heart and create a new vision going forward. • The 2020 love vision reflection process.This will be the final episode until JANUARY 9th 2020!!

Protecting The Christmas Couple Bubble

We hear this shit all the time "ugh, dating is just so hard" "it sucks out there" "people are the worst"....and you know what? We're so done with it. Yup. Those beliefs aren't coming through with us into this new decade. Nope. No room on the love bus for that baggage anymore. Here is the deal friends, when you don't like your life, dating is going to be a fucking drag. It's pretty hard to vet someone properly when we're too consumed with how shitty things are, how everyone lets you down and why there are no good humans in the dating pool. So, in this episode we tackle the importance of being in fabulous alignment with your life first....then stepping into dating. We cover: • The pathway to heartmate town and healthy partnership is designing your life in a way where you actually like being in your life day to day, FIRST• What is really under the behaviour pattern of finding fault with people, being overly "picky" aka critical of new people you meet. • Why learning to love your own life gives you an easier access point to cultivating more joy, gratitude and kindness with others. • Living a life of gratitude is a practice in presence which is ESSENTIAL when dating so you get to know the REALITY of someone instead of a projected FANTASY.Please excuse Jamie's sniffling...he had a legit sneezing attack mid-podcast and while we got the ahhhchooo's out, the sniffles couldn't be helped ;) OUR 12 DATES OF GRATITUDE CHALLENGEJust in time for the holiday season we have a 12 Dates of Gratitude Challenge!

Friends With an Ex: Will You Be My Wound-friend?

In this episode we dive more deeply into the complex nature of woundmating and trauma bonding. It can be scary to think we're stuck as a woundmate once we've had one or two woundmatey experiences. But good news, it's not a fixed identity, and the degree of woundmating or heartmating that comes through a unique relational pairing has loads to do with how two people's energies, stories, histories and personalities jive. ***In this episode we cover: • Why the labels of woundmate and heartmate are actually more fluid than you may think.• Having woundmate relationships doesn't doom you for your relational future and some proactive aspects to have on your radar to heal and integrate from these woundmate dynamics• Common characteristics that make woundmating appealing to have on your radar. • When we heartmate- what that looks like and common characteristics to have on your radar. • Our "Anti-Woundmate Diet" + Heartmate Manifesto***Mentioned in this episode: To download the FREE Anti-Woundmate Diet + Heartmate Manifesto click HEREIf you're not already over kicking it with us and all the other amazing love legends in our Podcast After Show Party Facebook Group, come join us!Every week we do a movie club which includes a LIVE session with Kelsey, plus other relational and podcast discussions!When you request access you'll be prompted with two questions to answer.
