Jeremie Lotemo is a poet, writer, and coach who utilizes his insights on relational dynamics to help men live from their deepest core. Through his writing, his podcast, 1:1 coaching and building community, Jeremie supports others in the integration of their deepest shadows. We sat down with Jeremie to discuss: 1.  The invisible initiation society puts young boys through, where they are socialized to sever their authenticity in an attempt to maintain a sense of acceptance and connection to other men.  2.  How women can support the men in their lives by seeing them in the highest vision of who they are, and exchanging the desire to mother them for a practice of allowing compassion and boundaries to exist at the same time.    3.   How understanding our partner’s attachment style and wounding can expand our own capacity to lean into moments of discomfort and grow our ability to stand in the fire of our relationships in order to allow something to be purified. 4.  Why it’s so important to understand how the mother wound shows up in men, and the ways that it’s impacting so many men’s ability to find fulfillment in their relationships, as well as within themselves.Jeremie’s work offers such powerful insights into what’s underneath so many of the relationship challenges we face. We know you are going to love this conversation as much as we did. You can connect with Jeremie on social @byermeas or hear some more of his incredible wisdom by subscribing to his podcast, Gates of Perception Podcast, available wherever you listen to your podcasts. Be sure to check out his Masterclass, “Life Beyond the Mother Wound,” that begins on November 3rd – you can find some more details about the class on his Instagram page. Connect with Jeremie ***Follow him on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byermeas/***Listen to “The Gates of Perception” podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gates-of-perception/id1532617558***Website: https://www.byermeas.com/***Masterclass: https://www.byermeas.com/masterclass-life-beyond-the-mother-woundDené and Vanessa also share details about their upcoming New Years Retreat, FROM SELF-ABANDONMENT TO INNER BELONGING: THE INTENSIVE happening in Carefree, Arizona at Civana Wellness Resort and Spa, January 1-6, 2023!If you love the conversations we’re bringing you as much as we do, please subscribe, rate and write a 5-star review so we can get the podcast out to even more people!*These live coaching sessions are meant for entertainment purposes only and are not to replace therapy.This podcast is, for sure, Cheaper Than Therapy. Follow Cheaper Than Therapy on Instagram Follow VanessaInstagramTikTokYouTube Follow Dené InstagramTikTok------------------------------ Learn more about your ad choices.

Cheaper than Therapy is back for Season 3! In this solo episode, Vanessa and Dené talk about what they’ve been up to during the podcast’s hiatus and some of the patterns they’ve noticed coming up lately in conversations. They discuss: 1.  What it feels like to be witnessing a massive reclaiming of the feminine energy that the current patriarchal structure of society has conditioned us to suppress. 2.  What it means to shift from the practice of looking outside of ourselves for answers to beginning to live a life governed by an inner authority. 3.  The shifts we’re seeing collectively in terms of people really starting to question for themselves what will bring an authentic sense of fulfillment – in work, in relationships, and in their lives in general. 4.  The idea that some of the changes we’ve been facing as a society have been in service of bringing all of us – regardless of how we identify in terms of gender – in alignment with the reclamation of the feminine.Dené and Vanessa also share details about their upcoming New Years Retreat, FROM SELF-ABANDONMENT TO INNER BELONGING: THE INTENSIVE happening in Carefree, Arizona at Civana Wellness Resort and Spa, January 1-6, 2023!If you love the conversations we’re bringing you as much as we do, please subscribe, rate and write a 5-star review so we can get the podcast out to even more people!*These live coaching sessions are meant for entertainment purposes only and are not to replace therapy.This podcast is, for sure, Cheaper Than Therapy. Follow Cheaper Than Therapy on Instagram Follow VanessaInstagramTikTokYouTube Follow Dené InstagramTikTok------------------------------ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Dené drops in on a TAT Lab session on codepency led by Vanessa. We discuss the differentiation between intentions and outcomes, the codependent survival strategy of making ourselves and our needs smaller to maintain connections, the importance of not deciding for others which truths they can tolerate hearing, and asking ourselves, “what do I imagine it would feel like if I actually felt like I was heard?We loved having the opportunity to bring our TAT LAB community in on one of our conversations, and we know you’ll have some of your own takeaways after hearing the processing we did together as a group. Interested in joining a live virtual group class with us?

Since 2014, he has been coaching couples and men to help them discover and live out their dreams. His new book “Choose Her Every Day (Or Leave Her)”, discusses men’s challenges with intimacy and boundaries and thriving in intimate relationships.We talked with Bryan about what happens in a society where we look to our intimate relationships to be the containers in which we find adulthood - when that’s not what they’re supposed to be for, the trouble with us attempting to maintain a “two person village,” the healing that comes from men learning to trust other men after a lifetime of experiences that have taught them not to, and why we’re drawn to partners that have the qualities we long to experience within ourselves - but then we immediately reject those qualities within them.This conversation provided potent insight into the ‘why’ behind the relational dynamics we’ve all struggled with. We know you’re going to find it as valuable as we did.You can connect with Bryan on social media @bryanreevesinsights or through his website bryanreeves.com.

In this solo episode, we hit record on a passionate conversation we were having based on some questions we received from all of you. We dove into the question, “what do I do if my partner no longer finds me attractive”, to unpack the social and cultural pressures placed on what monogamy “should” be. We love having conversations about various ways of breaking out of codependent paradigms and cultivating relationships that not only support our growth - but are in alignment with our authentic values. We hope this episode leaves you with some questions to explore for yourself and those you’re in relationship with, and challenges you to think about what kind of partnership would feel most true to who you are becoming. Have questions you want us to answer on a future episode?
