How People Pleasing Affects Your Non-Monogamy Journey with Paige Bond
Episode38: How People Pleasing Affects Your Non-Monogamy Journey with Paige Bond Explicit Today my special guest is Paige Bond. Paige is the host of the Stubborn Love podcast, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Creator of the Jealousy to Joy Journey. Her mission is to help people-pleasing millennials navigate non-monogamy so they can tame their jealousy and love with ease. Her own journey from feeling lonely, insecure, and jealous to feeling empowered and reassured through her Jealousy to Joy Journey is what fuels her passion to help other people-pleasers to conquer jealousy and embrace love.This conversation is so interesting. We talk about Attachment Styles and how they affect our ability to trust our partners connections with ourselves and with others. People Pleasers tend to have an Anxious Attachment style and suffer from very different fears than Dismissive Avoidant partners. We talk about Non-Monogamy and how to navigate it without fear. We learn how to communicate difficult emotions to get us through the struggles we might encounter.We learn the difference between enmeshment and attachment and connection and how enmeshment can be destructive to a relationship. It's easy to struggle with jealousy if we aren't clear about this. We can focus on being abandoned or focus on connecting with our partners and creating a safe place place for each other.We learn to speak up for our needs and not shame our desires. We can create what we desire in a relationship and don't have to stay in a situation that does not feel good to us and is not growing.If you would like to get in contact with Paige Bond, you can use the links below:Facebook PageLinkedInLove, KarineTake the Free Quiz, Is Monogamy Right for Me? and find out if your programming or monomindset is affecting you and your relationships!Book your FREE discovery call to inquire about our NEW 8 Week Program, Breaking Free from Monogamy: shifting the monomindset for greater intimacy and sexual well-being, first Live Sessions starting March 1, 2023.Limited spots available.Don't forget about my "6 Week Breaking Free Mentorship" to continue your journey or work with me privately.

Breaking Free from Monogamy
15-02-2023
Breaking Free from Monogamy
Episode32: Breaking Free from Monogamy Explicit Welcome to Breaking Free Authentically Episode 32. I’ve been so busy working on the launch of my new 8 Week Program, Breaking Free from Monogamy and I really wanted to come on and tell you all about it because it’s going to be so transformative. I am so so so excited about this you guys.Even without a voice I just had to share it with you all. I know that the way I was raised and taught about relationships has hugely affected me in my life. I thought I had a really great relationship and for the most part, it was from the outside. But honestly, I was not who I really am. I was codependent. My self worth was wrapped up in what I perceived about my spouse, and the way he saw me. The thing is, there was no real way to actually know what he was thinking. I judged my worth by our sex life and how desires I thought I was. I judged it by how much time he spent with me and how much he complimented me. I didn’t know what actual connection looked like because I was never taught that I would feel safe and calm in my body around my people. I didn’t know that I could have my own opinions and not be judged for that.The notion that marriage and monogamy are the best answer to the deep human desire for connection and belonging is incredibly seductive.I know you are probably wondering who I am to challenge this age old construct of marriage. How dare she? What does she know? Well, I’ll tell you. I am The Sex Positive Relationship Designer. I have worked with countless individuals and couples to help them Break Free from Societal and Religious programming to live authentic, empowered lives. I am more specifically an expert on Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM), as seen in PureWow, normalizing ENM so that people will be able to choose the kinds of relationships they really want for themselves and lose the shame surrounding sexuality and desire. I am a published expert in Authority Magazine on the topic of Marriage, Relationships, and ENM and have appeared as a guest on several podcasts and radio shows such as the Brian Crombie Radio Hour. You can listen to the show here. Join me as we change the world and normalize a different way. Ethical Non-Monogamy is not for everyone, but it might be the perfect solution for you. Let’s allow each person to choose their own journey without judgment.If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “Is Monogamy Right for Me?” I want to encourage you to go take my FREE Quiz to find it if Monogamy is in fact right for you or if you actually have what it takes to experience more in your relationships.Love, KarineTake the "Is Monogamy Right for Me?" Quiz and find out if you are being limited by the monomindset!Ask about the NEW 8 Week Program, Breaking Free from Monogamy and get on the waiting list. Limited spots available!Visit

This increases the intensity and pleasure of the orgasm. The same principle can apply to our growth zone and increasing our level of comfort to experience more joy.Check out the article in Pepper I was interviewed for: "What Is Edging?

Taming the Green Eyed Monster & Colouring Outside the Lines
Episode27: Taming the Green Eyed Monster & Colouring Outside the Lines Explicit Today my special guest is Dr. Joli Hamilton. Dr. Joli Hamilton is the relationship coach for couples who color outside the lines. She is a research psychologist, TEDx speaker, best-selling author, and AASECT (pronounced ay-sect) certified sex educator. Joli also co-hosts the Playing with Fire podcast with her anchor partner, Ken. Joli’s been featured in The New York Times, Vogue, NPR, and The Atlantic. She’s spent the past two decades studying and reimagining what love can be if we open our imaginations to possibility. Joli helps people create non-monogamous partnerships that are custom-built for their authentic selves, no more shrinking, pretending, or hiding required. Did you know there are different flavours of jealousy? Maybe you get angry, maybe you withdraw, maybe you get sad. It's important to know your style. It can help you recognize when you are feeling emotions of jealousy. Find out some important research about how jealousy shows up for people in different ways.We also learn that jealousy is a triangle unlike envy which is a diad. They are not the same. Often we think they are the same but jealousy has a perceived disrupter to the relationship. We often get fearful and project our fear unto someone outside of our relationship.Sometimes we even experience grief over something that hasn't happened. It's called anticipatory grief. There are just so many levels.Sometimes relationships are not black or white. They can be colourful and full of nuance. I love that Dr. Joli helps people colour outside the lines. Not all relationships look the same and sometimes they can be messy and creative.As a relationship Designer, I want you to understand that you have been programmed a certain way about what is write and wrong in relationship and about sexuality. We don't have to live by the brainwashing if we don't want to. There are so many choices.Go live authentically and colour outside the lines if you choose!Love, KarineIf you would like to get in contact with Dr. Joli, you can use the links below:Dr. Joli's Facebook page @drjoli_hamilton on Instagram Dr. Joli's Website Dr. Joli on YouTube Dr. Joli Hamilton on LinkedInAre you tired of colouring in the lines and conformining to society's standards?

The Spaces In Between Part 2
Episode26: The Spaces In Between Part 2 Explicit This is Part 2 of last week's conversation with Lana Elco. Lana Elco is the world’s leading intimacy artist & the creator of the Intimate Universe brand. Specializing in working with prominent visionary women and couples on their most intimate relationships, Lana guides her clients into the deepest level of intimacy and transforms their intimate relationships into a work of Art. We continue our discussion about the spaces and relationship styles that sit in between the traditional template of monogamy and the radical relationship style of polyamory. We talk about the idea of shifting in relationships rather than needing to break up. We can negotiate the terms of a relationship and level of commitment. We can want what we want with no shame and create containers to make that happen. Commitment doesn't mean that you ignore your body and your feelings. We get to honour ourselves in relationship.It's also so important to understand that eroticism doesn't just happen, we need to create intentional erotic space. All of this is part of the Art of Intimacy. Esther Perrel says that we can't have comfort and eroticism at the same time. They don't live in the same space. We need to be aware and nurture our relationships and create spaces to enjoy the fulness of our connections.You can find Lana Elco using the following links:Lana's Facebook group Lana's Facebook page @lana.elco on Instagram Lana on YouTube https://www.linkedin.com/in/lana-elco-5a2a6215/Lana's Website Jaiya's Erotic Blueprint and Sex, Love, and Goop Link - Find out your Erotic Blueprint and watch Sex, Love, and Goop on Netflix.Thank you for listening to Part 2 of this fascinating, important conversation.

Living Wylde and Free
Episode24: Living Wylde and Free Explicit My guest today is the incredibly wise and authentic Ranier Wylde. We had such an amazing conversation about living the wild and precious life. We have one life and if we aren't enjoying our life, we get to change it. Rainier says, "The people making the rules are miserable."  We don't have to listen to them, follow those who have joy in their lives and know how to be happy instead. That will lead you to true freedom.An experienced teacher, writer, and speaker, Rainier has embraced life for all that it is. He has celebrated its highs and learned from its lows. He has managed a Fortune 500 company and built businesses, he has also elegantly blown them up, burned them down, and started over from scratch. He holds a masters degree in psychology and has spent countless hours working with men and women in navigating the human soul. Through the various positions he has held, he has discovered that life must be claimed to hold any worth. His work is to inspire others to live, fully and deeply , in the here and now."We have to shed our depency on rightness!" ~ Rainier WyldeThis need to be right keeps us from being free. We think it creates our identity but actually, according to Rainier, "Identity creates a psuedo safety." True safety comes in living authentically and having your true people.

Part 1 Prude to Nude
Episode22: Part 1 Prude to Nude Explicit "Nice girls don't!"Oh this is a good one! Today I talk with my dear friend Tracy Violet about her amazing journey from being a complete guilt ridden prude to a confident nudist. It's the story of so many that are struggling with the shameful programming and ready to make shifts in their lives.The transition from Stay-at-Home devoted mom and wife to living free and authentically is not an easy transition but Tracy did it. She was able to let go of the prgramming and change the script. She says that realizing that it was going to take a lot of "unraveling the knots in my head" helped her work through the inevitable cognitive dissonance that comes with exploring things that you were taught were shameful.Today we begin the story that led her to meet me and eventually transform her life to be able to become Ethically Non-Monogamous in a beautiful, authentic way. She is full of grace and love and I'm so thankful to have her in my life.Next week we will talk more about her journey after nudism and the gradual acceptance of her body also being sexy and stepping away from the guilt cycle we have been programmed into around sexuality and desire.Enjoy this 2 part interview with this spunky, unashamed, gorgeous woman full of authenticity.I hope you enjoyed this weeks podcast!Love, KarineIf you would like to follow this lovely, sexy, "land locked mermaid" and have a peek at Boney Brad the Single Dad and his enormous skelly family, follow her on Instagram: @land_locked_mermaid (Boney Brad the Single Dad) @violet73_of (Tracy's more racy IG account )TikTok: @violet_dream73Don't forget to book your discovery call for my "6 Week Breaking F-R-E-E Mentorship" below!Book a Complimentary Discovery Call Breaking Free Authentically: The Sex Positive Relationship Podcast website Subscribe to our Mailing List Leave a Review on Podchaser Join our Private Facebook Community Visit my Website at www.karinebedard.com

The Body Never Lies
Episode21: The Body Never Lies Explicit My guest today is Gareth Riddy. Gareth is a healer, author, speaker & tone lowerer.Reformed(ish) naughty boy, with a deep personal experience & knowledge of what it means to feel like arse, & what it takes not to feel like arse.By day he helps people heal, unscrambling the neurological nonsense that underlies people's physical & emotional issues.By night he strangles his friends while trying not to get strangled, on the jujitsu matts.Yin & yangIn this conversation, we go deep into the connection between the mind and the body. Emotions are there to help us learn shit but we are taught to hide and ignore them. Emotions that aren't allowed to move through the body, get stuck. We must be willing to feel them and allow them to move through us. Gareth says that movement is key to helping our emotions flow through us. Go for a walk, punch a bag, stretch, go for a run or simply go get a hug. All of these things help us process emotion.Sex is also movement! Just saying. 😘😉😎🥰Enjoy the Episode!Love, KarineIf you would like to check out Gareth Riddy, here are his links:Instagram @garethriddyFacebook Gareth Riddywww.garethriddy.comPurchase his book How to Undo the Sh!t the Modern World Does to Us: A potty mouth's guide to health and happiness Don't forget to book you discovery call for my "6 Week Breaking Free Mentorship" below!Book a Complimentary Discovery Call Breaking Free Authentically: The Sex Positive Relationship Podcast website Subscribe to our Mailing List Leave a Review on Podchaser Join our Private Facebook Community Visit my Website at www.karinebedard.com
How to Break the Cycle and Finally Accept Yourself

How to Break the Cycle and Finally Accept Yourself
Episode20: How to Break the Cycle and Finally Accept Yourself Explicit This week's topic is so critical for having healthy relationships. It really is the foundation for everything. We cannot continue to expect others to give us the love we are unwilling to give ourselves. My guest Jen McCutcheon and I have a beautiful discussion about breaking out of the cycle of self sabotage and finally accepting ourselves. What a beautiful way to live!To truly accept ourselves we need to let go of needing validation from others. We must be able to show ourselves compassion and let go of judgement towards ourselves. We all need love and support and it's ok to reach out to others. There is no shame in that. It's ok to take a break. It's ok to get help. Self love is not selfish, it is in fact mandatory for our wellbeing and the wellbeing of everyone around us. Jennifer McCutcheon is a Consciousness Coach, owner of Truly Connected who specializes in helping mothers of children struggling with addiction reclaim their lives. She is passionate about empowering women. Using customized tools, including mindfulness, movement, and self love, Jen strives to reconnect women with their true identity, confidence and power. Guiding beautiful souls in living purposeful, joy-filled, and authentic lives.If you would like to learn more about Jen you can check out these links:WebsiteInstagramFacebookDon't forget to book you discovery call for my "6 Week Breaking Free Mentorship" below!Book a Complimentary Discovery Call Breaking Free Authentically: The Sex Positive Relationship Podcast website Subscribe to our Mailing List Leave a Review on Podchaser Join our Private Facebook Community Visit my Website at www.karinebedard.com

You Can't Be Free Sexually If You're Not Free!
Episode19: You Can't Be Free Sexually If You're Not Free! Explicit "You can't be FREE sexually if you're not FREE!" ~Glen MitchellI had the pleasure of having this conversation with Hypnotherapist Glen Mitchell. We discuss what freedom actually is and how to have it. Freedom begins and ends in the same place; the mind! Victor Frankle in his book "Man's Search For Meaning," says that the only freedoms we have are the ones we create in our own mind. We can control how we respond to a situation even if we can't control the situation. That is freedom.There is so much freedom in the power of CHOICE!Glen Mitchell is a Hypnotherapist, specialising in working with all anxiety conditions and helping people to create a Limitless Mindset! He's also a Hypnotherapy teacher and well-being enthusiast! Glen is the co-facilitater of the amazing "Freedom from Sugar Addiction Programme" with Charlotte Harris.He trained in hypnotherapy 6 years ago, and has been teaching hypnotherapy for the last 18 months. He is married with two children (sorry ladies) and has many reptile pets!Here's where you can find Glen on Social Media:FacebookInstagramDon't forget to book your discovery call for my "6 Week Breaking Free Mentorship" below!Book a Complimentary Discovery Call Click here to Register for the "Empowered Lifestyle Newcomers VIP Experience" on November 18th, 2022Breaking Free Authentically: The Sex Positive Relationship Podcast website Subscribe to our Mailing List Leave a Review on Podchaser Join our Private Facebook Community Visit my Website at www.karinebedard.com
