Vikings, Vulnerability, and Polyamory, Ep. 20

Today, I am speaking with Ragnar, the modern viking! He shares with us his Viking longship analogy about relationships and my mind was kind of blown.  We also get into how polyamory helped him break the cycle of abuse and become a much more vulnerable human and his personal journey of identifying as and coming out as a polyamorous person. Ragnar Craigsson is a Trauma-Informed Mindset coach specializing in teaching driven individuals how to choose the most effective behaviors for accomplishing their goals. Ragnar focuses on self-determined behavioral modification through his coaching system, GoingAViking. The GAV coaching system combines ancient wisdom with modern psychology to teach you how to custom design a  mindset capable of Radical Acceptance, Iron Resilience, Post-Traumatic Growth, and Lasting relationships. Ragnar is a proud Solo-Polyamorous LGBTQIA+ Ally sapiophile and part of the kink/BDSM community. He has extensive experience with interpersonal trauma, and uses that experience combined with rigorous self-study to help others dealing with the same adversity to laugh through the storm and be less alone on the other side of their journey. Ragnar also lives a Modern Viking Lifestyle, from participating in Viking Age historical reenactment to living each and everyday applying ancient wisdom from the Havamal  he attempts to channel the spirit of the Viking Age into his life and passion for his clients.💨 TLDR;2:31- The Journey to Solo-Poly12:45- Breaking Down Non-Monogamy28:44- Extreme Vulnerability39:46- Your Relationship as a Boat – Entering Non-Monogamy❤️ Enjoying the show?
