Sex.Love.Power.: Sacred Sexuality, Conscious Polarity, and Waking Up In Love
Our pleasure can be the fuel for abundant, sustainable work, service, and play throughout our long lives.
Our sexuality can be a wholesome pillar of our daily experience.
Our marriages can be fueled by desire rather than duty.
Monogamy can be the hottest place on earth.
It’s a confusing time to be a heterosexual, monogamous couple. The love and passion you desire may be more an inner urge than something you really see people around you living. But there are a growing community of devoted couples creating monogamy as a conscious spiritual crucible. There are couples using their marriages to fuel their leadership and service and activism. Welcome to Sex. Love. Power. where we convene the conversations that unlock new possibilities in your life and relationship. I’m your host Michele Lisenbury Christensen. Over the past 26 years, I’ve helped thousands of couples create the love and sex they desire. Kurt and I, in 23 years of marriage and adventures together before that, have suffered, avoided, dared, and triumphed in countless ways. Now, I’m here to help you get more peace, more connection, and more passion in your days and nights, so you’ve got the energy and attention left over to be the change you wish to see in the wider world. Everything you want in love and sex and beyond starts with YOU, and it starts right now. Let’s tend your flame.

Superiority And Shame
“We have 2 kids, but I feel like I’m a mother of three, including my husband!”
“Why does he have to talk down to me about the things I struggle with?”
Do either of these sound familiar to you?
Some people find themselves frustrated by a sense their partner is less adult than they are or that their partner is incompetent in some way.
Others feel that their partner treats them like they’re inferior or broken or bad or wrong.
If you are in either of those groups, this episode is for you.
These experiences live in more relationships than you probably realize. Very few couples escape experiencing these patterns at some point. I want to give you perspectives and tools that will help when these patterns pop up, either for you or for those you care about. I want to liberate every relationship from blame and rejection, from criticism and defensiveness.
I'm going to break down:
- What's really happening when we feel superior to our partner or we behave in ways that are condescending,
- What's really going on when we feel like we have to win our partner's approval or their satisfaction for our relationship to be okay
- How to get on a more even footing when one of you has shifted into an inferior or superior stance.
