Hello, Loving Without Boundaries (LWB) community!
I am delighted to share my latest podcast interview with Tessa and Amir, hosts of the Open Nesters podcast, who have an interest in tantra, and are also BDSM explorers of sorts. These lovely and amazing humans have been on our Loving Without Boundaries podcast before, back in 2021 on Episode 154. My, how some things have changed for all us (as well as the world at large) since five years ago. Time certainly does fly. We also had the opportunity to meet live and in person in my neck of the woods in Northern Virginia years ago. As in the past, I absolutely loved our authentic and honest conversation about all things relationships, sexuality, building modern families, and acquiring more wisdom with age while also respecting differences that we all inevitably have. Tessa and Amir, thank you so much for reaching out to me again to give us insightful updates on your own journey through open relating, and thank you for all that you do for our wider community! I’m cheering for you every step of the way!
Here is their Bio:
Tessa & Amir have been experimenting and finding growth in Open Relating as individuals and together as a married couple for 20 years of their 36 year partnership. They continue to hold their families in the highest of priorities. They nurture intentional family time and holiday celebrations, as well as precious one-on-one time with their adult children. They believe that, having allowed the kids the space to grow, this gives Tessa & Amir the opportunity for karmic payback! Their erotic blueprints differ in vast ways and yet their path is uniquely suited to them as adventurers of life. They both work and play in different arenas, and now with three adult kids and a first grandchild, they find new ways to openly discuss their ACT 3 and time for giving back! Now in it’s fifth season, their popular podcast addresses life in the OPEN, rather than empty, NEST!
Some topics we discuss in this highly interesting, informative, and entertaining interview:
-
Challenges with time management and balancing multiple relationships.
-
Ways to prioritize their relationship.
-
Finding ways to connect sexually despite differences.
- The importance of curiosity and exploration in sexuality.
- Having shared projects is crucial for their relationship.
-
Understanding of polyamory and attachment styles.
- Tune in to listen to this fantastic podcast episode!
