Amory 7 | Almost the End of a Marriage & a Promise to Recommit

In this episode Megan comes clean to the listeners in a conversation with Marty about how she nearly sabotaged their marriage. This was a really hard episode for Megan to record. She will reveal her patterns of denial, some atrocious behavior, and what she's working on right now to make her relationship with Marty (and others) stronger.  Marty's part is to tell the story of his experience in the breakdown, and what led him to present Megan with "change the behavior or expect divorce." It was a hard couple of weeks leading up to this chat.  Megan and Marty will give some advice from each of their perspectives, and discuss how having an open marriage with their tribe of support is a big part in what saved them from total disaster in their marriage. Megan will go into detail about her patterns and what she's doing to undo those patterns. Marty discusses who you must be for your partner to support change even when you are still in a grieving process and your gut reaction is to retaliate.  The conversation ends with a set of commitments for now and into the future.

What does healthy masculinity look like and what are the practices to reach it?  In this episode, Marty and Kyle discuss these their own personal journeys around the constructs and behaviors of masculinity. From creating a place of safety for yourself and others, seeing vulnerability as a strength, and learning forgiveness and gratitude, we all can live from a more balanced masculine energy. They share some very practical ways for all of us to create a more healthy masculinity in society...which will benefit us all.

Amory 1 | Where do we start?

Two years ago, there is no way I would have guessed I was going to host a podcast on these subjects...so how did I get here?   My husband and I have been married 15 years, have twin 4 year olds, and finally feel like we are living life beyond default. I started dating Kyle about a year and a half ago. Everything was open and consensual, although none of us knew exactly what we were getting ourselves into. Since then, we've started to let go of the old paradigms of life that no longer serve us, and are now living a life definitely on the edge of social norms. Ok, really, we're definitely outside of the "norm" but for some reason it feels really comfortable out here.  Listen to the episode to learn more about the journey into the world of polyamory, and just love in general.  Our friend describes the podcast as a "Love University" and we like that idea:)
