#29 - Kelli Tennant - “Threesomes: Fearing Abandonment and Surrendering to Pleasure”

04/21/21 • 53 min

So, I did the scary and brave thing, Y’all. I asked Kelli Tennant to be on my podcast and she said YES!
Yes, this is the same Kelli Tennant who was a college athlete and famous sports reporter who covered the Lakers and Dodgers. Yes, THE Kelli Tennant of “The Kelli Show” and the “Yes, Babe” podcast. Yes. The Kelli of the IG Pleasure Channel with 31.5K followers. Yes. The one with all the sexy, half-naked photos that make you drool. Yes. Kelli Tennant who is an Intuitive Facilitator, Reiki and Hypnosis Practitioner, Women’s Circle Facilitator, and plant medicine advocate!
Good. I am glad we got that all out of the way because all I care about is the WOMAN and the SOUL that is Kelli Tennant. I honor the woman who broke free from a lineage of toxicity and found her voice and power. I adore the woman who challenges social norms and encourages other women to create their own narrative from their evolving truth. I celebrate the woman who moved from the grief of losing her mom, dad, and puppy and slowly made her way back to self-worshipping. I want to highlight the woman who is courageous and vulnerable in sharing her stories of facing her deepest fears and accessing her deepest pleasures.
And, yes, I HAD to ask Kelli about THREESOMES and how they actually work. You’re welcome.
Actually, I had a lot of questions. Here’s some that were answered in this episode:
Can you be a “good wife” if you want to explore sex with other people?
How do you find a third, a “unicorn”, anyhow? Bumble, you say?
Can your friend be your third and would that “ruin” your friendship?
Can you be monogamous AND have a threesome? Is that monogamish?
Does it matter if I don’t know how to identify? Who do labels help anyhow?
Do you have the capacity to hold space for our fears of abandonment, grief, and sexual pleasure in the same breath? Hint: yes.
Is it possible to let go of control and simply enjoy life?
How can you surrender to asking for and receiving pleasure?
How do I practice self-worship?
What about jealousy? What about our fear of abandonment?
How do you set boundaries? How do you stick to the boundaries you set?
What if you want to change your mind?
What do you do if you are stuck in a pattern of chronic pain and illness and don’t feel sexy?
What if you keep losing people and pets and the grief makes it hard to access pleasure?
Is it normal that I always think something must be wrong because something often goes wrong, so when I can’t find anything wrong, I freak out as if there is something wrong and then I freak out because I always look for something to go wrong instead of just enjoying a single fucking moment? LOL.
This is exactly how Kelli and I conversed and laughed together. It was a blast.
Just lock the door, get naked, throw the rubber duckies aside, hop in the bathtub, and listen.
Kelli herself said “Let Pleasure be the Measure” is “an Important podcast that is fucking changing people’s lives”. Aw, shucks...and thank you, it’s true.

Previous Episode

#28 - Pantea Kalhor - "The TRAUMA, FERTILITY, and CREATIVITY Connection"

Today’s episode is a whole-hearted conversation about trauma, infertility, and how creativity can be a surprising and pleasurable path to our healing. I certainly resonated with how creativity could feel life-saving, as my therapeutic comedy work proved more effective than decades of traditional medicine and therapy.
As a #1 bestseller author, Certified PTSD, CBT, and Fertility coach, Pantea Kalhor explains how she could conceive naturally over forty of age after over 2 years of struggling with fertility issues, unsuccessful fertility treatments, and been diagnosed with unexplained infertility. She started her research to find the root cause of her issue by learning about complementary medicine and creating a harmonic connection between mind and body. In this episode, Pantea shares stories about her PTSD and how learning to mother and nurture herself was paramount to her healing. We finish the episode with a powerful discussion about the power of visualization and manifestation.

#30-GARY WARE-"PLAY SAVES LIVES, RELATIONSHIPS, AND BUSINESSES"

Gary Ware is quite simply one of my favorite people on the planet. To know him is to love him.
In this episode, Gary and I talk about how PLAY unexpectedly saved both of our lives. You have probably heard that the opposite of play is depression and perfection. Yes, And...We go quickly and deeply into conversation about our painful and pivotal catalyst moments that lead us to a place where we value PLAY and pleasure.
Gary is masterful at encouraging companies/schools to use play to improve productivity, collaboration, and engagement. We discuss how play can even save your relationships. Couples that play together, stay together! This conversation is rich with tips on living with ADHD, pleasure/play practices, having difficult conversations, parenting, worthiness/self care, and the magical healing powers of games. Follow your compass of joy, commit to those things that bring you joy, and witness yourself saving your own life.
Gary Ware is a creative yet strategic Play Consultant. He helps companies and professionals level up their skills. He is also an improvisational comedian AND a brilliant magician. Gary's mission is to help people become more creative, confident, and collaborative through play. He is the founder of Breakthrough Play and, most importantly, a husband and father. Gary is simply inspirational and completely lovable. I feel like he brings out the best version of everyone he meets.
