The Airing of Grievances

Happy Festivus! After adopting a fun tradition with the kids involving Nacho Libre style costumes and wrestling... Mel and Jase talk about truly embracing the
"Airing of Grievances" as a challenging, but essential part of a healthy relationship. Perhaps the things your partner does that stir you - or the things that your children do that anger you - may be a mirror for you to reflect upon? What stories might you be telling yourself? And at the same time, sometimes things just need to be said - and making the airing of grievances a practice in the flow of your relationships as opposed to letting them build and boil is the key to long-term happiness in relationships.

Sexcommunicated

What is sex, anyway? Mel and Jase get into this question, as well as the notion that sex often evolves through different phases of life. Differences that range from goals and quality to orgasms and energy - with communication being the important constant through it all.

Wildly Connected

Welcome to the Wildly Connected podcast. Yes, the Wild Monogamy podcast is now Wildly Connected! Catch up with Jase and Dr. Mel DeBoer as they discuss Mel's recent graduation as a Naturopathic Doctor, Jase's continued work with men and community development, as well as our expanded perspective for the Wildly Connected podcast.

Be Fuckable

It's more than your appearance. It's an energy. It's a way of walking in the world.  Would you fuck... you? What energy are you putting out to you partner? To the world?  Mel and Jase discuss several perspectives to being fuckable - what it can mean for you personally and for your relationship.

Pseudo Sex

Sometimes we simply give in to the convenience of 'meh' frozen pizza.  Similarly, sometimes, we're simply trying to fill a void with pseudo sex.  We settle for less when we all desire gourmet pizza, and we end up settling for lackluster sex AND feeling worse.  How you do something is how you do everything - and Jase and Mel dive into what it means to live in your full vitality outside of the bedroom - so you can bring your full vitality to the bedroom.

It Takes A Village

How did we get here? How did we evolve from connected, supportive villages and tribes to individuals and families living so separate from one another?  Community is incredibly important, and Mel and Jase talk about the importance of community in our individual lives and growth, but also for the continued expansion and growth of relationships.  A supportive village can bring out the best in you, challenge you, hold you accountable, and celebrate your growth.

Mend My Life!

All too often we enter partnership with the expectation that this is the one who will complete us. Or we may feel burdened by the partner who expects to be completed.  The truth of the matter is that you are the only one who can complete you. In this episode, Mel and Jase discuss the burden we place on one another when we hold expectations and what it means to take responsibility for our own growth.

Good Intentions

We're back!  Mel and Jase kick off the new year with an episode about intention. The word "goal" is used often this time of year, but what are your intentions? What are you "tending"? Your energy and attention are currency.  How - and with who - are you spending it?

A Dose of Medicine

What is medicine? Is it that which brings you joy? That which helps you heal? In this episode, Mel and Jase talk about medicine in all its forms - the amazing connections, new perspectives, hard lessons, unbelievable joy and growth you can experience when you ... as Nahko says ... "find your medicine and use it"

The Joy of Living Dangerously

In this episode, Mel and Jase discuss danger in living comfortably, and the life in living dangerously.  To live dangerously means to live... and living never flowers in security. It flowers only in insecurity.
