Episode 071 Stepping Off the Relationship Escalator: A Conversation with Intimacy Coach, Daniela Stevens Do you ever feel like your relationships are stuck on autopilot, dictated by societal norms rather than your own needs and desires? What if you could reimagine your relationships in a way that's not only non-traditional but also deeply fulfilling? This is exactly what I explore in my enlightening conversation with sex and intimacy coach, Daniella Stevens. With over two decades of experience, Daniella shares her insights on how blending science, spiritual wisdom, and creativity can shape non-traditional relationships and promote self-discovery. Unpacking societal structures, we dive into the concept of the 'relationship escalator', a theory introduced by Amy Gahran. This idea breaks free from the linear progression of relationships, encouraging us to pause and maybe even step off the escalator at any point. We also talk about the importance of nurturing love, pleasure, and care within ourselves as a way to extend the same to others. Our conversation further ventures into the intriguing terrain of 'relationship anarchy', emphasizing consent, communication, and freedom from expectations. We discuss the challenges of building depth in non-traditional relationships and how to create more room for love and pleasure in our lives. So, are you ready to step off the relationship escalator and embrace a new, fulfilling approach to your most intimate relationships? Tune in and let's start the journey of reimagining together. Join the movement to be a part of this new paradigm of conscious, intentional and diverse relationships. Connect with Daniela ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ??
