from Permission To Be Human

93: Part 6/12, An Academic Braveheart Talks Lostness, Longing & Discomfort: How to Build a Relationship with Yourself Series Ever gotten intentionally lost? In this episode, Janelle and Andrea sit down with the inimitably honest Michael Scott Overholt for a conversation that will touch you in surprising ways. Expect Greek philosophy, truth bombs, a Bay Area breakthrough, the indirect benefit of knowing yourself and why getting totally lost might be the best way to find out what you actually need. There's a nod to Plato, Socrates and Rebecca Solnit's book "A Field Guide to Getting Lost". You'll hear: -How self-care is foreplay for being fully human -Why Michael got intentionally lost in a forest -How to reframe uncertainty as an invitation -Why the longing is actually the THING -The way curiosity can be the best kink ever -Why honesty doesn't make you a hero, but does set you free --------------- We're Andrea and Janelle--two midlife mavericks sharing openly about our own experiences--messy AF and no regrets----with marriage, divorce, polyamory and pleasure. You'll hear from relationship experts, meet real life Bravehearts and get intimacy skills.  Truth: When we're brave enough to ask for what we want, honor our  boundaries and have the hard conversations--with partners, friends, family and, most importantly, ourselves--magic happens and happiness ensues. If you're seeking permission to create a new map for relationships and want to feel less alone along the way, we got you. With glitter and radical acceptance, Janelle & Andrea.
