In this episode, I talk about the art of saying no—and it is an art. Over the next 14 days I invite you to say no without feeling like you have to justify yourself or giving a backstory for your no. A lot of people grow up as kids feeling like they’re not able to say no in their family system and that causes them to feel like their no doesn’t matter as an adult. Listen in for hear more.

Why is marriage so difficult? Should you even bother? This week I sat down with acclaimed documentarian Roger Nygard. Using his latest film, The Truth About Marriage as our focal point, we explore partnership in all its forms, biology vs. culture, and the origins of monogamy.  Roger Nygard is perhaps best known for his acclaimed documentary Trekkies, about the most obsessive fans in the Universe. Nygard’s previous documentary, The Nature of Existence, addressed the impossible subject of the world’s philosophies, religions, and belief systems. Nygard has also directed television series such as “The Office” and “The Bernie Mac Show.” His work as a film editor includes “Grey’s Anatomy,” “The League,” and Emmy-nominated episodes of “Who Is America?” and “VEEP” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Nygard has made several other award-winning films, including the car-salesman cult-film, Suckers, and a profile of UFO fanatics, Six Days in Roswell, and now the documentary The Truth About Marriage, accompanied by The Truth Abou

Today we’re going to talk to someone about how to call someone forward and not call them out. When we call someone out it’s often about satiating our own ego and almost never has the desired impact on the other person or our relationship with them. We often deploy shame, guilt or anger to call someone out.  Many of us haven’t been taught any other way to give feedback in a productive way. Calling someone forward means we communicate from a position of invitation and camaraderie. It’s about being a mirror for another person. So listen in to find out how to call someone forward. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week I’m going to talk about increasing sovereignty. I’ve seen that people have been struggling to find a sense of individuality or sovereignty in their life because so much of their opinions and beliefs and identity are outsourced to these large systems like, politics, religion, media and groups.

I wanted to talk about this because as I have watched some of the current events unfold and watched the commentary on social media I’ve noticed that social shaming has been used more and more as a tool for conformity.  Shame is one of the emotions that we try to avoid the most. When it’s used against us socially it will become the thing we want to avoid.  Are you looking to find your purpose, navigate transition or fix your relationships, all with a powerful group of men from around the world?

I’m going to talk about ending relationship complacency. The reality is we can get very stagnant in relationships. I think this is a big fear that a lot of people have. We have this fear that our freedom will be infringed on, that the relationship will get boring, that the excitement will fizzle out. There’s a concern that instead of a vehicle for growth the relationship will become a vehicle of stagnation.
