What if you could tell the whole truth about your life, including all those tender and visible
things we don't usually talk about?
I'm Megan Devine.
Host of the podcast, it's okay that you're not okay.
Look everyone's at least a little bit not okay these days, and all those things we don't
usually talk about, maybe we should. This season, I'm joined by
stellar guests like Abbermote, Rachel Cargol, and so many more. It's okay that you're not
okay. New episodes each and every Monday, available on the iHeartRadio app or wherever

Getting better with money is a great goal for 2023. But how are you going to make it happen? Ordering a book that lingers on your nightstand isn't going to do the trick.
Instead, check out our podcast, How To Money.
That's right, we're two best buds offering all the helpful personal finance
information you need without putting you to sleep.
We offer guidance three times a week and we talk about debt payoff,
saving more, intelligent investing, and increasing your earnings.
Millions of listeners have trusted us to help them make progress with their financial goals.
You can listen to how to money on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcasts.
If you shut down your partner's opinions, you're not creating a safe, vulnerable space for
you to connect.
People think if I agree with my partner, then we go deeper.
That's not true.
But don't also try and disagree. Listen, let them express. And instead of jumping to your
conclusion to defend your point of view, ask why do you feel that way? Where did that
thought process come from? How do you think we could avoid that? Could I ask you if you
could ever see that differently? These are great questions.
Hey everyone, welcome back to on purpose, the number one health podcast in the world. Thanks to each and every single one of
you that come back every week to listen, learn and grow. Now, I
know that you want to build deeper, more powerful, more fulfilling relationships,
but it's not always easy. And it can be really, truly challenging. There can be so many new
issues, new discoveries, old trauma, old baggage that comes into a relationship that can affect it at any point at any time.
And today I want to discuss the methods to improve intimacy, to stop a relationship from
getting boring or breaking.
It's so often, isn't it, that a relationship in the beginning is full of sparks.
It's full of excitement.
It's full of that chemistry.
We feel that attraction.
We feel that positive flow of energy.
And then a couple of years later,
and a couple of years after that,
we forget that that even existed.
And maybe now there's someone else that we're feeling a bit of attraction or chemistry towards.
Maybe we're not. Maybe we're not feeling it at all. And we want it back with this person.
Here's the thing. If you're at breaking point, or you're at bored boredom or you want to learn how to build intimacy,
this episode is for you.
Those are the three things that we experience.
You either need to learn how to build intimacy or your board and therefore you need to
not build intimacy or you're at breaking point and you need to see whether
there's any intimacy at all. Now, I'm going to read the dictionary definition of intimacy
because I think even these words need to be better defined. You can hear me googling
away to check it for you. Intimacy means close familiarity or friendship, closeness. Now when you hear that, you think actually familiarity
is the thing that makes relationships boring. It's actually what causes the issue. So what
is the difference between intimacy and familiarity? Intimacy is the feeling of closeness. Familiarity is being close.
Right?
There's a difference between being close
and the feeling of closeness.
You can be physically close to someone.
You can live in the same home or apartment.
You can have a close proximity to another human being. Proximity can equal familiarity.
But proximity does not equal a feeling of closeness. For example, you can even live next door to someone.
But just because you live next door to them doesn't mean you feel close to them.
Just because you live in the same house as someone else does not mean you feel close to them. Just because you live in the same house as someone else does not mean you feel close to them. We want to feel close to the people that we're close to. We don't only want
to be close to them, isn't that true? Isn't that the case? You don't just want to be close
to someone. You want to feel close to someone. You want them to feel close to you as well. How do we deepen our closeness with the people we want
to have long-lasting relationships with? That's what this episode is dedicated to. The
first principle is if you want to feel close to someone, you have to disclose more of yourself. We feel closer to people when we
allow them to get closer to the real us. The Japanese say that we have three
faces. The first you show to the world, the second, you show to your close friends and your family.
The third is the one you never show to anyone, and it's the truest reflection of who you
are. Now, whether you think this is true or not, what
it shows us is that there are multiple identities in a relationship and studies show that as we become
more vulnerable with people, the closer they feel to us and the closer we feel to them. This is
why you don't tell your life story to a stranger or someone you've just met. You don't tell your
life story just because you find someone interesting and attractive, we are careful about when we disclose information about our lives.
But if you're in a place in your life where you're starting to recognize that the intimacy
is waning and the intimacy is becoming weaker, chances are that you're not sharing your
innermost deeper thoughts and ideas with that person.
Now why does that happen in a relationship?
Often because we think, well, I haven't had any newer thoughts.
I haven't had any deeper ideas.
And why is that?
Because we haven't spent time developing ourselves.
We haven't invested in ourselves. If we're
always growing, we always have something to make amazing to share. I realize this, when
I've been reading, when I've been learning, I have so much to share. I have so many stories
to tell. But when I'm not doing that personal in a work, I might start to think that I'm
boring. I might start to think I have nothing to share. I might start to think that I'm boring. I might start to think I have nothing to share. I might start to think that life is the same.
And so this is a reflection that's saying,
if you're growing, you're going to feel like you can help your partnership grow.
You will have more to be intimate about.
You will have more to be vulnerable with.
Because if you're not growing, then you're not able to help your partner
learn more about you.
So I want you to really consider that as the first point today that we need to disclose
more about ourselves, but if you're three, four years in, you may say, well, we know a lot
about each other, but it's your responsibility to educate your partner more about you and
there will only be more about you when you invest more in yourself. Right? And the important thing about this
principle is that you have to make time to do the inner work and time to share these
moments. Right? If we don't make time to really express what we're going through
and what we're experiencing, it's really difficult. I know a lot of couples who say,
well, we have nothing in common. If we sat together a dinner, then we'd have nothing to talk
about. This is what you talk about. We think that, oh, don't be too deep, let's just have fun. That's what helps us bond vulnerability
and intimacy. Go hand in hand. When we disclose more, when we're more vulnerable, when we share
more, that's what deepens our bond. Do not think of it as something as like, oh, this is
getting too close, this is too serious. Now, this is what creates depth. Now, the second principle, which is really huge, is about doing something
fresh together. Right? You will never have a reset or refresh in a relationship if you keep doing
the same old thing again and again and again. Everyone has their typical date night, dinner and a movie,
or hang out with friends by Netflix and chill. The more you repeat the same old activity,
your intimacy weakens, your intimacy does not strengthen. Because you're doing the same
thing, learning the same thing about your partner. The reason why doing new things is important is because in that new, you learn something
new about your partner.
Now this is very key that neither of you can be a pro.
It's not like saying, hey, I love crypto, come with me to a crypto conference.
No, you both need to be novices in the area.
When you're both novices, it's equal ground.
The challenge with relationships
and why we don't build intimacy is because one of us says,
I already know that.
I know how that works.
You want to create a space where both of you feel,
hey, I have no idea how this works.
We're both going to learn something new today.
We're both going to feel uncomfortable today.
We're both going to need each other today. We're both going to rely on each other today. All of a sudden
intimacy starts to build, right? intimacy starts to build because now we're genuinely exposing
ourselves to each other. So now we're learning new things about ourselves. That's why when
you're on, whether it's a first day or a hundredth date, doing something
new together is highly effective because you actually get to see the other person in action.
Step number three.
Step number three is take on a project together.
If you're losing intimacy, it's because your lives
are completely separate.
Now, there are three relationships in a relationship.
There's the relationship that person has with themselves
and their purpose.
There's a relationship you have with yourself
and your purpose, and then you have a relationship together.
And often, none of these are prioritized
and none of them have a goal. We believe our relationship
with each other is we watch shows together and we're committed together. That person has their job,
I have my job and that's it. But you have to take on a project together. When you take a project
together, you deepen your intimacy and you deepen your commitment. Now there's something really interesting that I read in a brilliant study and it was
talking about how when there was a marriage between these two individuals and it was stagnating.
So what they decided to do as a family was to create a project of a year long sailing
trip in the Caribbean.
And as they started to plan this really long, crazy trip,
they actually felt closer because of it.
They had to plan a routine to spend time together
to develop the idea.
They had to schedule proper quality discussions
and brainstorms.
They now got to see the creativity of each other.
So often you have to invent a fake project, a project that you're building towards that
you both can commit to that helps you understand each other better.
And often we need something external to pull us there to drive us there, right?
It doesn't have to be something that's usually meaningful. It could be saying,
let's plan our vacation together this year, right? Let's schedule time every week to do this,
to really hear about our likes and dislikes. What's going to make it amazing? When you take on a project
together, you naturally build intimacy and connection. And for me, projects are a really beautiful way
because it's bringing a goal in together.
If you notice, relationships lose or never have goals.
When you first get together, the goal maybe,
well, let's figure out if we're right for each other.
Okay, now we figure out we're right for each other.
The goal is, okay, should we move in together?
Okay, we move in together.
All right, whether we get married or not, let's say we get married or we don't get married. We're now together.
The goal stop. Okay, maybe the goal is to start a family, but then once we have kids and we're raising them, where does the goal go?
And the goal post just get lost.
A project gives you a very tangible
short-term goal or a long-term goal that
prioritizes and focuses your connection on something meaningful. Otherwise, you can often wonder why are we even together? Because
we enjoy each other's company. Okay, sure, but what are we doing with that? For me and
Rade, these things have really been powerful for us. Before the pandemic, we used to do these
events at our home where we would invite our closest friends
and have these deep beautiful meditations at our homes. They were so incredible and we cannot
wait to start doing them again because they bonded our community. They built us the most beautiful
community that we have here in LA because of those events. Now those events gave our relationship purpose because we both deeply value meditation and
well-being and spirituality and those events allowed us to serve our friends together.
So Rade would be planning the menu and the decor and design, I'd be doing the guest list,
the invite and making sure that all the logistics were planned and it would be such a fun thing
to do together.
We used to do around three per year and I'd be thinking about the musicians that we'd invite
and just doing that together brought so much joy and there was such a sense of accomplishment
after the event would be over and after the evening was over we'd feel so deeply joyful and
grateful that that was something we achieved together. And I think this is really critical
that as a couple in a relationship we have to achieve things together. We may be achieving things in
our personal life and our private life and our own careers. What are we achieving together? What
are we breaking through together? And it doesn't have to be huge. Like ours wasn't awards. It was an event. And
that escalated and scaled as we started to do more together where we decided we wanted
to do some and some came very late in our life. Our tea company, some was, you know, after
five years of being married that it came into our lives. But when I think about how it all
started, it started with these well-being-based events,
where we would serve tea,
where we would serve food.
And so you never know where something's going to go.
You never know how something's going to grow,
but it's a really, really powerful thing for you to think about.

It's the figuring out that matters.
Kevin Haw.

I'm journalist and I'm Martin my podcast, City of the Rails.
I plunged into the dark world of America's railroads, searching for my daughter Ruby, who ran off to hop train.
I'm just like stuck on this train, not where I'm gonna end up, and I jump.
Following my daughter, I found a secret city of unforgettable characters,
living outside society, off the the grid and on the edge.
I was in love with a lifestyle and the freedom this community.
No one understands who we truly are.
The rails made me question everything I knew about motherhood, history, and the thing we call the American dream.
It's the last vestige of American freedom.
Everything about it is extreme.
You're either going to die or you can have this incredible rebirth and really understand
who you are.
Come with me to find out what waits for us in the city of the rails.
Listen to city of the rails on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you

The next principle is you have to make sure
that you're creating a sanctuary safe space
for your partner to truly be honest with you.
We often say we want honest communication.
We often say that I really, truly want to be able to have real conversations
with you. But then when our partner says something that may be true, but it triggers us,
we retaliate, we say, no, no, no, I don't want to hear that. No, why do you think that?
Right. Why is that your opinion? That I don't like the way you think? And I see
this more often than not in relationships. I was with a couple of the other day and one of the
partners told me that whenever they talk about this to their partner, their partner just judges them.
And what that does is that judgment makes them more quiet. It makes them less vulnerable.
It makes them less honest. It's not that it makes them dishonest. It just makes them less vulnerable, it makes them less honest.
It's not that it makes them dishonest,
it just makes them disclose less.
And I wonder how many of us have stopped disclosing things
in our relationships because we feel judged
because of how we feel.
We feel that our opinions are not appreciated
or that our partner can't even entertain our opinion.
And this is something that I find fascinating, that if you love someone or if you're trying
to love someone or you're investing in a relationship with someone, be open to give
their opinions an opportunity.
Be open enough to give their opinions and opportunity.
If you shut down your partner's opinions,
you are not creating a safe, vulnerable space for you to connect.
You don't have to agree to connect.
You don't have to disagree.
That definitely leads to a disconnect.
People think, if I agree with my partner, then we go deeper.
If they agree with me, we go deeper. That's not true.
But don't also try and disagree. Listen. Allow. Let them express. Why do they feel that way?
And instead of jumping to your conclusion to defend your point of view, ask, why do you feel that way?
Where did that thought process come from? How do you think we could avoid that?
Could I ask you if you could ever see that differently? These are great questions. Whereas so often in our relationships, we just say, well, I disagree with that. No, no,
no, that's not true. Stop talking to your friends about that. How many times have you ever
been in this situation? More often than not, I'm sure. And it's something to pay attention to because often, not disclosing
information or not creating a space, a closeness to disclose
information can lead to disconnection. I want to share with you
the biggest news of the year. How many of you want to meditate? I can see your heads nodding, I can see
you raising your hands, I can see you saying, yes, Jay, I really want to learn to meditate.
How many of you would like to learn to meditate with me every single day?
Now, I already know what the answer is because I know how many messages, DMs, reviews,
notes that I get saying,
Jay, I'd love to meditate with you.
Last year, we took meditation to Instagram, and I meditated for around 40 days live and
20 million of you tuned in.
Now, I am taking that same focus, that same presence to calm.
I've partnered up with calm to release a new series called The Daily J, where you
can meditate with me every single day for seven minutes to make it a real habit. I would
love for you to come and join me and take part in building a really powerful meditation
practice and guess what, we're going to do it together. Head over right now to calm.com forward slash J to get 40%
off a premium membership that's calm.com forward slash J. One thing about intimacy is it is created
by expressing gratitude with vulnerability too.
So just as we need a space where we can be honest
about what we want our partner to improve
or something we're struggling with,
we also need an opportunity for our partner
to know what we love about them.
And often we're not that clear about what we love about them because we assume that they
should know or we don't want to be cheesy or we don't want to be predictable or we think
it just sounds like, you know, we think it just sounds soft.
And often that's the case.
Often the case is that we stop expressing gratitude or noticing the beauty in what our partner does says or
achieves.
And maybe we wait to birthdays, maybe we wait to Valentine's Day, but what if we didn't
wait for any of those days, right?
What if we didn't wait for any of those days?
And what if we were able to do it immediately?
What if we were able to do it in the moment? And you may be thinking,
well, Jay, would I thank them every day for cooking for me? And I'd say, why not? And you
may say, should I thank my partner every day for moving the car so that I could leave on
time? Why not? Should you thank your partner every day for preparing your tea or coffee?
Why not? Why would we not take that opportunity?
Because I tell you what the effort it takes to express that gratitude is
Nothing compared to the regret we face if we never got to say it again
Right when you look at things in that context and I'm not trying to be dark or morbid I'm just being honest when you look at things in that context, and I'm not trying to be dark or morbid, I'm just being honest, when you look at things with the context of, wouldn't
I want them to know, if I lost someone, wouldn't I want them to know today, how I felt,
or would I have been okay that I told them last week, or would I have been okay that I
told them last month? And you may say, well, Jay, you can't live life like that. And I
would say, well, why not? Because I've noticed that when we notice more things about our partners more often, not only are we reminded of how amazing and
incredible they are, they are reminded of how amazing and incredible they are, which rewards
our relationship exponentially, it rewards our relationship exponentially. It's absolutely incredible actually to be honest. How much
compliments and genuine acts of service can make such a big difference in relationships.
Now, I want you to think about your intimacy and your growth. If you've ended up feeling bored
growth. If you've ended up feeling bored or you feel you're at that verge of things breaking apart, chances are it's because you haven't watered the tree for a while. You haven't
watered the plant. There's a beautiful thought and idea which is often accredited to the
Buddha where the question is asked, what's the difference between, I like you and I love
you. And the Buddha replies, when you like a between, I like you and I love you.
And the Buddha replies, when you like a flower,
you just pluck it.
Maybe you smell it.
But when you love a flower, you water it daily.
If we stop watering the flower of our relationship,
the plant of our relationship, the tree of our relationship,
it stops growing.
And most of us stop watering it as soon as we have it.
It's almost like saying,
as soon as I have the flower,
as soon as the flower grows,
we're gonna stop watering it
because the flower's grown now.
But what happens?
The flower starts to wilt.
Everything starts to fall apart, starts to die.
If your relationship is dying,
it's not because the person was wrong,
it's not because you did made wrong, it's not because you
did made the wrong decision, it's because we stopped watering it.
And guess what?
The same thing's going to happen.
You may say, well, why don't I just buy a new plant, right?
How many times have you ever had a plant?
How many of you are not good with plants?
Be honest, I'm putting my hand up right now, right?
And your plant dies and you say, all right, well, let's just buy another one.
And then you have someone going, well, no, let's revive it.
Right?
That's the mentality.
Do you want to revive this plant?
Or do you want to move on?
But guess what?
If you move on, you're going to have to learn
to water that plant every day too.
So are you just drawing this away
because you don't want to make the effort?
And that's where the real question
in the relationship is, do I want to learn with this person and
do I want to grow with this person?
Right?
That's how you create intimacy is that you choose learning and growth together.
You're going to have to learn and grow with someone.
Everyone is going to demand you to learn and grow in a set way.
The question is, do I want to learn and grow with this person? Am I just copying out by saying,
let's just buy another plant because it's easier,
but guess what?
I'm going to stop watering that plant
when it has a fruit or a flower.
I hope that analogy makes sense.
I hope that connects with you and resonates with you
when I'm trying to explain there.
So I want you to try these elements out for intimacy and there are ways in which to create
that intimacy quicker.
And they're called the five years, experiences, experiments, education, events, and entertainment.
So let's start with experiments.
You have to experiment together more.
Maybe you're going to go to an escape room.
Maybe you're going to experiment with a tasting session.
Maybe you're going to experiment with trying out something new.
Or experiences, experiences make sense, right?
Like, are you going to experience a new city?
Are you going to experience a city by night?
Are you going to experience a new country, a new culture, a new cuisine?
What are you going to experience together?
That's new events are really important.
When was the last time you went to an event together, a new event together, something you could discuss.
That's when an event is, so you can share the event
and then share your reviews with each other.
Education, when was the last time you took a course together,
a workshop together, a class together.
And when was the last time, of course,
you chose entertainment, like notice our entertainment,
which is TV, music,
that is one fifth of what creates intimacy.
And most of us, that's the majority
of how we try and build intimacy with our partner.
Let's switch on a show.
I'm not saying don't do that.
I'm just saying there are four other ways.
This weekend, I want you to think about
one of those other ways and try it out.
I want to thank you so much for listening to On Purpose.
I hope that you share this episode
with a friend who needs to hear it.
I cannot wait to hear your insights,
make sure you tag me on Instagram, on Twitter,
on every platform, and I'll see you again next week.
Thank you so much for listening,
and I just want to take a moment, actually,
I'm going to do this because you're all incredible.
I read some amazing reviews this week and remember when you leave a review, I love to read
them and I recommend leaving your name so that I can thank you personally.
So please leave your name because there's so many without names.
This is from Kali.
I discovered Jay in this beautiful podcast about a year ago at a time where I was going
through major change
and uprooting my old habits and belief systems.
The divine alignment of these weekly episodes
seems to fall into place, where I'm at mentally,
or what I didn't even know what I needed to hear always.
I returned to Jay's words, guests, and even his book
to guide me in this young and transformative period of my life.
I'm only 20, I have so much to learn, but I'm truly learning how to learn and love abundantly
through these weekly messages. Thank you for being a ritual in my life, a guide and a reminder
of returning to my values and purpose. Carly, thank you so, so much. This one's from Lindsay.
Jay, I could listen and
relisten to every episode. They always seem to ebb and flow with my life. I find myself
thinking deeper with every new episode, which is allowed me to be more present and calm
right now. I'm grateful for this podcast and would love episodes that discuss relationships
with family and friends in turmoil. Okay, noted, I'll do that. How to be supportive, assertive, and helpful
when times get tough.
Thank you for everything, Jay.
Lindsay.
Lindsay and Carly, thank you so much
for these wonderful, wonderful reviews.
I appreciate you.
And if all of you get an opportunity,
take the time to leave a review,
they make a big difference to podcasters.
We now have over 17,000 reviews that I'm so grateful for and I hope we
can get to 20,000 this year. That would be an amazing, amazing goal. Thank you for listening, everyone. I'll see you soon.
What if you could tell the whole truth about your life, including all those tender invisible
things we don't usually talk about?
I'm Megan Devine.
Host of the podcast, it's okay that you're not okay.
Look, everyone's at least a little bit not okay these days, and all those things we
don't usually talk about?
Maybe we should.
This season, I'm joined by stellar, gas-like Abermote, Rachel Cargol and so many more.
It's okay that you're not okay. New episodes each and every Monday, available on the iHeartRadio app,

When my daughter ran off to hop trains, I was terrified I'd never see her again,
so I followed her into the train yard.
This is what it sounds like inside the box-top.
And into the city of the rails.
There I found a surprising world, so brutal and beautiful, that it changed me.
But the rails do that to everyone.
There is another world out there.
And if you want to play with the devil, you're going to find them there in the rail yard.

Come with me to find out what waits for us and the city of the rails.

I am Janla Van Zant and I'll be your host for The R Spot.
Each week listeners will call me live to discuss their relationship issues. Nothing will tear a relationship down faster than two people with no vision.
Does y'all are just flopping around like fish out of water?
Mommy, daddy, your ex, I'll be talking about those things and so much more.
