    250: The Power of Polarity in Relationships with Arielle Brown

    In this episode, Rob welcomes long-time friend and colleague Arielle Brown to discuss the premise for the workshop that they held on June 17th 2020.

    Arielle describes the workshop as follows:
    “The degree of power and influence we have in our life is directly related to the amount of sensation we can hold in our body. Similarly, the level of ability we have to create real, authentic connection in our lives is directly related to our ability to hold polarity within our body. To “hold polarity”, in my definition, means to be able to hold (at least) two perspectives, truths, or belief systems within our awareness that seem to DIRECTLY conflict with each other. The cultivation of holding polarity is a practice in personal mastery, because in a world that has taught us to believe that being “right” is what creates safety, allowing ourselves to consider and hold a perspective that directly challenges our belief systems is a great threat to our (Ego) identity. Robert Kandell and I have built much of our respective bodies of work around intimacy, sexuality, communication, and human relating, on the premise that true safety is based on our ability to be CONNECTED in our relationships, rather than being RIGHT.”

    3:09 – The motivation for Rob and Arielle’s workshop
    6:43 – Being honest with your partner and yourself
    11:23 – Different speeds of evolution in relationships
    13:36 – Doing inner work and how it affects relationships
    16:48 – What is distortion?
    17:56 – Jealousy and polarity
    23:24 – Why did Rob start this work?
    30:17 – What do men need?
    32:53 – Women holding space for men
    36:04 – The impact of shifts in relationships on sex
    41:19 – Their workshop

    249: Pain Into Pleasure with Aimee Batuski

    While Aimee spent her first two years out of college building a career in corporate Manhattan, it quickly became clear to her that her passion was wilder than that. She packed her apartment and shipped herself all the way across the country to Los Angeles, where everything in her life as she knew it made a complete 180… except her love life.

    Without a job or an income, she found a home with her friends, hired her first Life Coach, and started building her own business. On paper, her life was shaping up, but she found she was still struggling to feel good in her skin and find romance. When a friend invited her to a transformational course about intimacy and orgasm, she was terrified. But she knew it was the next step for her – she was desperate to learn anything that could turn things around for her sex life.

    Within six months, her entire life was unrecognizable. Learning to live from her desire absolutely changed her experience of herself. For the first time, she was finally loving her body, living less in her head and feeling more connected to her intuition. She started meeting great men, and having deep, meaningful relationships, AND connected, pleasurable sex. She had to share what she’d learned, and before long, she was sharing the work with all her friends and clients. She learned that her new commitment to living life pleasurably was a professional passion too.

    In the years since she moved here, she’s coached successful women from entrepreneurs to mothers, artists, C-Suite executives and even other coaches across the country. she’s given talks to major organizations, led retreats internationally, and she’s only just begun. In saying yes, she finally discovered self-development work that wasn’t only focused on her career or other relationships (I had that stuff mastered); there was a whole world to explore around her desire, intimacy, and connection with others. After that initial course, she fully immersed herself in trainings and retreats all centred around sexuality, eroticism, relationships and desire.

    Today, she wants to find out how she can help you fall in love with yourself and your life as much as she has. Don’t waste another day feeling uncomfortable in your skin, feeling disconnected in your romantic life, or having unfulfilling sex!

    6:56 – Not trusting men
    9:59 – Weakened sexuality
    12:22 – Being conscious on dating apps
    15:25 – Pleasure is not just sex

    248: Why Are You Still Sending Your Kids To School? With Blake Boles

    Blake Boles is the founder and director of Unschool Adventures and the author of Why Are You Still Sending Your Kids to School?, The Art of Self-Directed Learning, Better Than College, and College Without High School. He hosts the Off-Trail Learning podcast and has delivered over 75 presentations for education conferences, alternative schools, and parent groups. Blake and his work have appeared on The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, BBC Travel, Psychology Today, Fox Business, TEDx, The Huffington Post, USA Today, NPR affiliate radio, and the blogs of Wired and The Wall Street Journal.

    In 2003 Blake was studying astrophysics at UC Berkeley when he stumbled upon the works of John Taylor Gatto, Grace Llewellyn, and other alternative education pioneers. Deeply inspired by the philosophy of unschooling, Blake custom-designed his final two years of college to focus exclusively on education theory. After graduating he joined the Not Back to School Camp community and began writing and speaking widely on the subject of self-directed learning.

    In his previous lives, Blake worked as a high-volume cook, delivery truck driver, summer camp director, Aurora Borealis research assistant, math tutor, outdoor science teacher, camp medic, ski resort market researcher, web designer, and windsurfing instructor. His biggest passion is sharing his enthusiasm and experience with young adults who are blazing their own trails through life. He was born in 1982.
