Breaking Free: Authenticity in Relationships

Episode Overview

  • Relationship anarchy encourages open communication and mutual consent.

  • Intentional relationship building fosters genuine connections.
"Am I truly aware of what I need and desire in this particular relationship?"
Get ready to be moved by real-life accounts of navigating intimate relationships in a world full of rigid social norms. In this episode, Janice Ho, host of The Soul's Work Podcast, takes us on a journey through the challenging yet rewarding practice of relationship anarchy (RA). She candidly shares her personal experiences with RA, a philosophy that champions building relationships through open communication and mutual consent rather than following societal labels and expectations.
Janice dives into the pressures exerted by dominant cultural narratives that often dictate how we 'should' be in our intimate connections. She questions the ingrained beliefs that bind us, from the fairy tales of 'the one' to the relationship escalator's rigid steps. Through light-hearted anecdotes and sincere reflection, Janice encourages listeners to consider how intentional they are in their relationships. Are you truly aware of what you need and desire? Do you feel safe enough to express your authentic self?
These are just some of the questions Janice poses as she discusses her journey of practising solo polyamory and RA over the past four years. Janice's insights offer a refreshing perspective on breaking free from the confines of mononormative culture, urging us to explore diverse relationship structures that honour authenticity and autonomy. If you're curious about how to build more genuine connections, this episode might just spark some transformative thoughts. So, how authentic are you in your relationships?
