Drawing from Deida's revolutionary framework, as well as the deep lineages of Vajrayana, Tantra, Kundalini yoga, Taoist and Iron Shirt Qigong traditions, John seeks to create a profound experience for men and women longing to express their deepest desires with open, fierce and loving hearts.

Themes: Healing, Health, Holistic Health, Emotions, Self-Expression, Authenticity Summary: I often talk about the deep impact both our relationships and emotional health have on our physical health, so this week I’m thrilled to be diving deeper into the subject with the one and only Dr. Christian Gonzalez. Join us for a beautiful conversation about why authentic self-expression and releasing suppressed emotions is so important for the health of your body, mind and spirit. Dr. G took an interest in many fields of medicine, but it wasn’t until his mother passed of cancer that he decided to shift his focus to oncology. There he found a passion for helping people optimize their health by preventing chronic disease and he soon realized that cancer was not simply nutritional or exercise-based, it was much more than that.  As he studied this concept more, Dr. G became passionate about environmental medicine as well as the mind, body, and spirit connection. Everything is connected, from the foods we eat to the way we think and interact with the world and the people in our lives. These seemingly small factors all play a large part when it comes to our health and longevity. Because of this, Dr. G has shifted from working with patients to focusing his energy on mass education. He is the host of the excellent Heal Thy Self podcast, which focuses on giving people the tools they need to truly heal from the inside out and highlights some of the top medical professionals in the industry. Discover: How the relationships we have with our home, the environment, and the people in our lives all play a role in the development of chronic disease The deep impact your emotional health has on your physical health Why authentic self-expression is so important The pathway to healing suppressed emotions and unhooking from unhelpful protective mechanisms 00:00 Intro 02:26 How Dr. G got started in the medical field 06:15 Pivoting into Naturopathic Medicine 11:06 Healing from suppressed emotions and trauma 17:34 The cost of resisting your true emotions 25:15 Letting yourself feel “negative” & “unlovable” emotions 32:06 The role of nutrition and supplementation 37:04 Authentic self expression can protect you from toxic environments Links: Instagram | @doctor.gonzalez Website | docgonzalez.com Podcast | Heal Thy Self with Dr. G Mark Groves on Heal Thy Self with Dr. G Sponsors: Cured Nutrition | Use code CREATETHELOVE for 20% all products at curednutrition.com/createthelove Organifi | Use code CREATETHELOVE for 20% off all products at organifi.com/createthelove Create the Love Cards | Use code CTLCARDS15 for 15% off at createthelove.com/cards See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Themes: Human Biases, Victimhood, Cancel Culture, Virtue Signaling, Morality   Summary: Lately I’ve been feeling motivated to explore my own (and what seems to be the world in general’s) edge around having hard conversations. What shapes binary/black and white thinking, and what has created the inability to speak about subjects that have become so hypersensitive? How can can we disagree with love and curiosity? It seems that more often than not, we cease talking about certain things altogether because it’s easier to avoid cancellation, the possibility of being critized, and conflict. But whenever we do this, we don’t actually serve our communities, our society, or the world as a whole. I’m so excited for you to hear this conversation with Cory Clark and was blown away by the research she shares about human biases, victim mentality, and more. It gave me the opportunity to explore my own personal biases and to bring light to the things that I don’t even see about myself and the way I see the world. I hope it does the same for you. Cory Clark is the Director of the Adversarial Collaboration Project at University of Pennsylvania and a Visiting Scholar in the Psychology Department. She received her PhD in Social and Personality Psychology and Quantitative Methods from University of California, Irvine and formerly worked as an Assistant Professor of Social Psychology at Durham University in the United Kingdom and the Director of Academic Engagement for Heterodox Academy. Among other things, she studies political biases (on both the left and right) and how moral and political concerns influence evaluations of science among everyday people and scientists alike. She writes a Psychology Today blog called The AntiSocial Psychologist and occasionally co-hosts the YouTube channel and podcast, Antisocial Psychologists.    Discover: How victimhood can be used for manipulation/to gain very real benefits Why we tend to cancel other people for having different opinions How research shows that being perceived as a victim can justify immoral behavior   00:00 Intro 01:27 Social media reinforces our beliefs 03:46 Competition in research 06:34 Being biased is human nature 11:14 The bias blindspot 12:52 Vicitmhood and the evolutionary benefits of playing victim 21:26 Justification of immoral behaviors 26:24 Emotional manipulation & victim playing 33:57 Victim and virtue signaling 39:46 Obsessive passions versus harmonious passions 41:56 Having a different opinion 43:32 Verbal versus physical violence 46:40 Extremist people 56:47 Participating in canceling by refusing to talk about it 1:00:50 Taking things to social media instead of talking about things privately 1:04:25 Being held accountable for what we say 1:07:20 Self-censorship   Links: Cory’s Website | https://www.coryjclark.com/ Cory Clark’s Twitter | https://twitter.com/ImHardcory Psyphilopod Podcast | https://bit.ly/3mUpeAP The Antisocial Psychologist Youtube | https://bit.ly/3HsCgyY The AntiSocial Psychologist Blog | https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-antisocial-psychologist   Sponsors: Cured Nutrition | Use code CREATETHELOVE for 20% all products at https://www.curednutrition.com/createthelove Organifi | Use code CREATETHELOVE for 20% off all products at http://organifi.com/createthelove Create the Love Cards | Use code CTLCARDS15 for 15% off at http://createthelove.com/cards See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Themes: Relationships, Non-Monogamy, Polyamory, Sexuality, Communication Summary: The Multiamory Podcast was created by Emily Matlack, Dedeker Winston, and Jase Lindgren in 2014 to fill the lack of voices about polyamory who were young and accessible to a modern audience. They were also tired of hearing all the same old, traditional, sometimes toxic dating advice. After years of creating episodes, connecting with listeners, and growing an amazing community, they have broadened their own views on relationships and are now helping people in a wide variety of relationship formats from polyamory, to monogamy, to Relationship Anarchy. Emily, Dedeker, and Jase believe in looking to the future of relationships, not maintaining the status quo of the past.

Themes: Marriage, Relationships, Commitment, Divorce, Trust, Intimacy   Summary: One night during his divorce, Matthew Fray started a blog. He needed to figure out how his ex-wife went from the 18 year old college freshman who adored him to the angry woman who thought he was a jerk and left him. As he pieced together the story of his marriage and its end, Matthew began to realize a hard truth: even though he was a decent guy, he was a bad husband. As he shared raw, uncomfortable, and darkly humorous first-person stories about the lessons he’d learned from his failed marriage, his post – “She Divorced Me Because I Left Dishes By the Sink” — was read over four million times. Now, his book, This Is How Your Marriage Ends: A Hopeful Approach to Saving Relationships, is set to release this month. Filtered through the lens of his own surprising, life-changing experience and his years counselling couples, the book exposes the root problem of so many relationships that go wrong to help partners identify and address relationship-killing behaviour patterns in their own lives.

Themes: Relationships, Commitment, Uncertainty, Self-Worth, Self-Compassion, Self-Acceptance   Summary:  I remember when I was afraid to get engaged in my twenties, someone told me I was just afraid of commitment. That as a man, it was normal. I wasn't supposed to run towards love, but rather just surrender — as if it was some sort of life sentence I would need to learn to tolerate. All of that couldn't have been more wrong. I wasn't afraid of commitment — I was afraid that love would hurt me. Join me this week as I explore my thoughts on commitment, marriage, getting feedback, having compassion for yourself and what it means to trust yourself in love.   Discover: What may be behind your fear of commitment Why trusting love means trusting yourself Why your partner shouldn’t be your ‘everything’ My tips on how to give and hold feedback How relationships are your invitation to expansion   Links: Download the Mine'd app now!

Themes: Dating, Relationships, Narcissism, Red Flags, Gaslighting   Summary:  Our relationships and how happy we are within them has a powerful influence on our health, wellbeing and quality of life. In fact, in the Harvard Study of Adult Development which tracked the health of 268 sophomores over a period of 80 years, those who were the most satisfied in their relationships at age 50 were the healthiest at age 80. Surprise, surprise: close relationships are what keep us going and are better predictors of long and happy lives than social class, IQ or even genes. With that in mind, I wanted to interview relational alchemist Stefanos Sifandos on the important topic of narcissism so you can feel more empowered as you navigate dating and your relationships in general.

Themes: Psychology, Mass Formation, Groupthink, Belonging   Summary:  The psychology of individuals is interesting, and how individual psychology is influenced by groups, media, marketing and fear is an area I’m going to continue to explore. It’s like family systems but muchhhhh larger. And much more complex. Yet still simple in the narrow ways we respond when afraid — thanks to evolution and our amygdala. This is why I’M SO EXCITED that I got to interview Mattias Desmet! He is a Professor of Clinical Psychology at Ghent University in Belgium with a masters degree in statistics. As an academic researcher, Mattias started to study the statistics presented around the current events in early 2020 and it became clear to him that the stats needed further exploration and discussion, as did how we were approaching it psychologically. Mattias joins me to share his expertise in a phenomenon known as "mass formation," a kind of collective hypnosis that occurs under certain societal conditions. WOW. What an incredible exploration that I thoroughly enjoyed. I hope this episode gives you deeper context for our current situation and makes you a feel less alone as you navigate today's climate.   Discover: The psychological process of "mass formation" and how it relates to current events The four specific conditions in society that when fulfilled simultaneously, lead to groupthink The surprising reason people continue to buy into a consensus narrative The most efficient strategy you can adopt to help shift the narrative   Links: Mattias Desmet's Research Sponsors: Organifi | Use code CREATETHELOVE for 20% off all products at organifi.com/createthelove Create the Love Cards | Use code CTLCARDS15 for 15% off at createthelove.com/cards See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Themes: Transformation, Awareness, Relationships, Breakups, Self Worth   Summary:  Today’s guest slid into my DM’s with a story of transformation so inspiring that I had to have her on to share her experience. Right before the pandemic, Diana Davis Dyer left her nine year relationship with her fiancé. With plans to be married in May 2020, she felt they were both individually functioning in darkness and that a "forever" like that was terrifying. Having never sat down to decide what kind of future and family she wanted, Diana felt so unsure of who she was and where she was going that a commitment so concrete scared her and prompted a life-changing decision to leave her relationship. After moving out and living with a friend for six months, Diana discovered my work and completed my seven day Relationship Starter Course (formerly Relationships 101) and in Diana's words, "It changed me. It let me RE-WRITE and RE-CREATE my narrative. In those days and the days after, I returned to love. And on his own, my partner did too. We came back together (with lots of work that is never-ending), got married in January 2021, and our love now is stronger, way more fun, deeper and brighter. While an immense bout of heartbreak and pain was inflicted on both of us during those 6 months, what came out of it was worth it. I wouldn't change leaving for a heartbeat, because it wouldn't have lead to this amazing love we now have." If you've struggled with a similar situation, aren't sure what you deserve or haven't sat down and thought about the love and the life you want, this episode is for you. I love for people to hear other’s stories of growth so we can see not only what’s possible for ourselves, but how to get there. I hope this episode plants a seed of hope or possibility and inspires you to keep going down the path of becoming all of who you are.   Discover: Why Diana called off her engagement and the inner work she did to facilitate a reunion with her partner How to trust yourself, your innate wisdom and your journey The power of honouring your heart, choosing yourself and the self-worth that follows How painful experiences are necessary on our path to growth The importance of uncovering the narratives that run our lives to understand why we are the way we are and why we choose what we choose   Links: Relationships Starter Course: A seven-day deep dive into a better understanding of relationships.
