emotionally unavailable

Our stream-of-consciousness series, The Serendipity Sessions, returns again! Listen in as we have a real-time and fully unplanned conversation that leads us to some significant topics we have on our minds. We land on some thought-provoking conclusions as we discuss various subjects including the debilitating effects of overthinking, to the influence and wisdom of affirmations, to the power of learning how to let go with love. 

By nature of The Serendipity Sessions, we invite you to hit play and explore these topics with us as we uncover them for ourselves. But if you'd like some additional hints at what we cover in this episode, see this purposefully abstract list below:

• What do you do when you can't rely on your thoughts OR feelings?
• How to shift energies that feel unshiftable
• The role of detaching and observing 
• Language is crazyyyy
• What does "promise" mean?
• We each picked a 'word of the year' for 2024
• (Un)healthy defense mechanisms when life feels chaotic
• 2024 cannot and will not be another 2023
• What does love have to do with liberation?
• The problem with Oprah

About The Serendipity Sessions:
We began The Serendipity Sessions as a series in the Clairannoyance podcast so we could have real-time unscripted conversations. Unlike our subject-specific deep dives and guest interview episodes, The Serendipity Sessions is a raw reflection of the genuine bond we share. We have no rules and no episode notes in advance, just a free-flowing exchange of thoughts and emotions. It's an exploration of the outer banks of consciousness where untamed treasures are hidden away. We believe one sudden insight can hold immense value, far beyond most meticulously planned discussions. Each session is a unique encounter with chance as we defy routine and enjoy a spontaneous dance with spirituality. We aim to keep these episodes as evergreen as possible, so you can find your way here whenever you need to. And hopefully, you'll encounter pieces of yourself every time you join us.

*TRIGGER WARNING -- This episode discusses themes of sexual assault. 

*PLEASE NOTE -- The videos we're referencing in this podcast have been removed from TikTok. If you search "Keisha and Finnikin" on TikTok you'll find some short clips, but mostly you'll see videos from other people commenting on this whole situation. The two people involved are @keishathemystic and @st.finnikin 

This episode is a case study in the ways that spirituality can lead to dangerous levels of spiritual psychosis. We're breaking down an intense situation that occurred in the TikTok spiritual community recently regarding two creators who we believe are both problematic. This is a difficult episode to summarize for the show notes, so we simply recommend you listen to the episode. The implications for what has occurred between Keisha and Finnikin are terrifying and damaging for the entire spiritual community. 

Be discerning. Protect yourself in all ways, always. 

Love you!

The energy right now is wild. Everyone is dealing with false starts and fake endings. How are you holding up? 

This is the shortest episode description we'll ever make, but it perfectly encapsulates the energy right now. This isn't a deep dive episode, and it's not a Serendipity Session either. It's something else entirely, because the energy right now is scrambled eggs. You're welcome. 

How are YOU doing right now?

Continuing our monthly astrology series, we're looking at the astrology of September 2023 and filling you in on the planetary movements taking place this month. 

September is a lighter month overall, but the major astrological events are still potent as we gear up for Eclipse Season this October! We're breaking down everything including the New Moon in Virgo, the Full Moon in Aries, the ending of Venus Retrograde and Mercury Retrograde, plus the meaning of the Fall Equinox as the Sun moves from Virgo to Libra.

Are there any major cosmic events happening this month that you're extra eager to experience?

In this installment of The Serendipity Sessions, we’re talking about hurricanes. Not only the historic (and weirdly underwhelming) Hurricane Hilary that recently took Los Angeles by storm (no pun in tended), but also the feeling of a hurricane. The hurricanes we go through in life, the ways we become hurricanes ourselves, the beauty of getting swept up by something or someone, the purpose of feeling dispersed and scattered... And the need to let go of the damage that's been done so we can truly appreciate what we're left with in the end. 

Ryan is fresh off his own hurricane as he records this after a saucy & sleepless night. Megan, an East Coast hurricane veteran, is well rested and provides super relevant tips for surviving hurricanes (both real and metaphorical).

For legal reasons, we want to make it clear that THIS EPISODE IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.

This is also not an episode about the history of capitalism, or investment recommendations, or an exploration of the economy or financial markets.

This is an honest conversation that acknowledges the multifaceted beliefs, emotions, mindsets and sensitivities people have about money. At the heart of it, money is a nuanced and personal experience. Money isn’t just a currency. It’s a reflection of our lives and our values. Money is a conceptual, energetic, and necessary tool to help you understand your self-worth. Because your self-worth is your net worth.

In this episode, we share our personal experiences with money and share our thoughts and information about lack mindsets, growth psychology, manifestation techniques, and more. We’re bouncing between topics associated with privilege, greed, jealousy and beyond to better develop a healthier relationship with money.

The intersection of spirituality and wealth can make the values in our hearts collide with the demands of the material world. It’s a complex subject — one that we’ll tackle from multiple angles in a few different episodes over time. But as we begin the conversation with this episode, our goal is to acknowledge the profound ways money influences our lives, and help you understand the importance of viewing money beyond a tangible object. Ultimately, it’s about seeing the endless wealth that exists when you tune into your authenticity.

"Since its creation, money hasn’t been just a measure of wealth; at times it’s been a symbol of our values and a test of our morality. The way in which one uses money may build or destroy one’s reputation and standing in a community, and it certainly demonstrates one’s character. Because money is an expression of value, it matters how it’s expressed." — Kabir Sehgal

***As mentioned at the end of the episode, below is a list of our recommended books about money, wealth, abundance and prosperity. Whether you want a psychological deep dive, a witchy spell book, an EFT tapping guide, a historical viewpoint, an academic approach, a metaphysical perspective, or just a practical way of better understanding money markets, budgeting, investing or otherwise, you’ll be able to find something in this list that sparks your interest:

• “Coined” by Kabir Sehgal
• “The Soul of Money” by Lynne Twist
• “The Richest Man in Babylon” by George S. Clason
• “Tapping Into Wealth” by Margaret M. Lynch

We’d like to start by thanking Brené Brown for all that she does in the world. 

Now that we’ve made that clear, let’s dig into this episode's theme.

In this week’s deep dive episode, we venture into the intricate web of emotions and perceptions tangled up with the ideas of acceptance and rejection. On the surface, acceptance seems like a warm embrace, while rejection can feel like a sharp sting. But as we dive deeper, we realize these two concepts are not only more delicate and intricate than they appear, but they’re also interconnected in complex ways. 

These concepts are fundamental parts of our daily experiences and the choices we make. Sometimes they seem inconsequential, but other times they're like mighty sagas that dramatically alter our spirit. Acceptance and rejection can fully alter the way we view ourselves and each other. They can dictate our outlooks, shape our expectations, and transform the way we interact with the world.

Separately and together, these are experiences that forge tremendous amounts of resilience, strength and growth within us. Acceptance is not always a gentle sanctuary. Rejection is not always a merciless life sentence. They represent a specific kind of duality, but they're not always so black and white either. What might seem like two sides of the same coin could actually be more prismatic than you think.

Continuing our monthly astrology series, we're looking at the astrology of August 2023 and filling you in on the planetary movements taking place this month. 

August includes a smorgasbord of astrological experiences. We're breaking down everything from the continued Venus Retrograde (which is active the entire month!), the new moon in Leo, plus a rare month where we have two full moons instead of one (it only happens "once in a blue moon!"). Most of August is Leo season, but we have a massive influx of Virgo energy taking over this time. And with two more planets going retrograde - Mercury and Uranus - we're about to hit maximum capacity with a handful of planets all in retrograde at the same time. We also venture off into other random discussions because we just can't help ourselves. For example, we have a full blown discussion about libraries. Weird right? Whatever, you'll love it. AND WILL MEGAN GET HER LIPS INJECTED DURING A VENUS RETROGRADE?!?! Place your bets now. 

Are there any major cosmic events happening this month that you're extra eager to experience?

Welcome to our second Serendipity Session. We began this series on the Clairannoyance podcast so we could have real-time unscripted conversations. Unlike our subject-specific deep dives and guest interview episodes, The Serendipity Sessions is a raw reflection of the genuine bond we share. We have no rules and no episode notes in advance, just a free-flowing exchange of thoughts and emotions. It's an exploration of the outer banks of consciousness where untamed treasures are hidden away. We believe one sudden insight can hold immense value, far beyond most meticulously planned discussions.

We aim to keep these episodes as evergreen as possible, so you can find your way here whenever you need to. And hopefully, you'll encounter pieces of yourself every time you join us. 

In this installment of The Serendipity Sessions, we tackle (in some roundabout ways) the concept of emotional availability - and thus, emotional UNavailability.

Emotional availability is a crucial aspect of building meaningful relationships, where vulnerability and openness intertwine. While it's important to know your boundaries and when you have adequate space to hold for others, frequent emotional UNavailability can create barriers, hinder genuine connections, and leave people feeling isolated. Human behavior is complex, and you don't always have to be available for others - not even your best friends or family - but if you consistently shut out other people from expressing their emotions, the implications can be devastating.  

P.S. PRETTY PLEASE RATE OUR PODCAST 5 STARS WHILE YOU'RE HERE :)  

Serendipity brought us to a variety of discussion points including: 

• Why people are emotionally unavailable
• The difference between emotional unavailability and emotional terrorism
• Why you should push back against "friends" who are always emotionally unavailable to you
• The negative implications of emotional unintelligence
• What the current astrology has to say about relationships and emotional connectivity
• The harshness of shame when your emotions are discarded by others
• Ways to be a more emotionally available and emotionally intelligent person
• Will.i.am and Britney Spears' new song sucks
• And more!

Previously, we discussed how growing up gay can impact our attachment styles when it comes to dating. Unsurprisingly, gay men who were denied affection and emotional support from their caregivers may develop an avoidant attachment type in adulthood and have a harder time getting intimate with others.

In this episode, we’re taking a look at how our upbringing affects our emotional availability as gay men, identifying signs of emotional unavailability in a partner, and how we can allow ourselves to begin opening up to others.

What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

• What are the signs that the man you are involved with or just met may have a porn addiction? 
• How is porn addiction different from other addictions? 
• Why people can’t “just stop” their addiction, especially one to porn. 
• Why men tend to have porn addictions, how it affects their rewards system and dopamine levels, and how it disrupts their whole life. 
• How a man’s porn addiction isn’t about your flaws or shortcomings in any way, and how to seek treatment for yourself if you are involved with a porn addict. 
• Why addicts and codependents seem to be attracted to one another. 
• Warning signs your partner is addicted to porn.

What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

- How to create vulnerability in the context of trust and safety, without sharing every detail of your life.

- Some specific examples of what you could share on a date that is vulnerable and will help a man feel closer to you while still leaving some room for subtlety.

- Instead of interviewing your date, we learn to receive and reciprocate.

- The art of playfulness takes away anxiety and brings a lighter mood to both you and your date.

- Humor creates an instant connection.

- Why insatiable curiosity is not only a turn on for men, but something they crave in their day to day life.

- Two strangers can be genuinely curious about each other and have a magical evening and go their separate ways, so even if your date isn’t your soulmate, you can still learn something and practice these techniques.

- We remember how people make us feel, so make sure you are in the bell jar and present with who is in front of you.

What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

• Part of being an empowered and powerful woman is looking for what we can do to create a space for men to feel safe. 
• Lisa explains how the labels we put on men as constantly being emotionally unavailable actually give our power away.
• We have a tremendous capacity and a gift for being able to draw out the best in men. 
• How do we create that safe space for a man? 
• If you tell him to be honest, you must be ready for what his true honest answers are. Yelling at him after will make him feel that he actually can’t tell you the truth! 
• Male vulnerability and female vulnerability look and sound very different. From a young age, men can be bullied and made fun of for expressing their emotions. 
• Lisa talks about how she realized that being in a relationship meant she had to make room for the man, and things couldn’t always be exactly how she wanted them.

• Find out the two different types of exclusive relationships: monogamous and progressive dating.
• How working with Lisa and Benjamin can help you focus on getting into a progressive relationship and find a partner who is ready to get Emotionally Naked with you.

• How can you tell if the person you're dating is ready for forward movement, or if they’re just making excuses and stringing you (and the relationship) along? 
• Benjamin explains his desire to take things slow when first meeting Lisa, and how that allowed them to co-create a relationship built on trust, friendship, and vulnerability. 
• Invested time and shared experiences do not equal deep emotional vulnerability. 
• In a progressive relationship, both partners make conscious choices to integrate their daily lives and they find time to be together.

- Lisa

• “Often, people mistake the time invested with deepening emotional vulnerability.” - Benjamin
• “In a monogamous relationship, someone settles for less than what they are looking for. It’s easy to settle into a routine and not have it go anywhere. Not planning for the future, getting vulnerable, or integrating into each other’s life.” 

- Lisa 

• “In an anxious-avoidant dynamic, they think there is a connection when the passion and intensity is really fear and desperation.” - Lisa

The number one reason people aren't finding themselves in the relationships they want is because one person is emotionally unavailable. It's a hard pill to swallow and yet a very real cause of some relationships never getting off the ground. Whether it's you who's avoidant or the other person friend of the podcast and host of the podcast The Good, The Bad and The Ghosted Sara Totten and I get into why this is happening and how you can stop it from ruining your happiness.
