About Permission To Desire: Relationships, Sex, Love, and Liberation

What if wanting more wasn’t selfish, but sacred?Permission to Want is a podcast for the curious, the courageous, the quirky, and consciously nontraditional. Hosted by author and certified relationship coach Brian G. Murphy, this show explores what it means to build fuller, more alive relationships and erotic lives and paints a picture of what’s possible when you find the courage to tell the truth about what you really want and say goodbye to shame or “shoulds.”Grounded in the wisdom of polyamory and other forms of ethical nonmonogamy, you’ll hear real-life stories and actionable insights that can enrich every relationship type: monogamous, open, polyamorous, single, or solo. Whether you're hoping to rekindle passion in a long-term relationship, healing from sexual shame, considering opening up, or just craving more intention in how you live and love, this is your permission slip.

Relationship Communication Mistakes I Made (so you can avoid them!)

No matter how much you read, watch, and practice communicating well with your boyfriend, sometimes you're going to mess up. In this episode, I share my relationship communication mistakes so that you can learn from me and hopefully not make the same mistakes yourself. Fighting with your boyfriend, feeling misunderstood by your partner, getting angry or frustrated at your husband are all common in a relationship. Figuring out how to talk to your partner and reduce conflict is key.

8 parts of a thriving relationship

Is there a magic spell that you can say to have a thriving relationship? No, unfortunately not, but there are formulas that you can follow to ensure that you are set up for success. This episode will help you answer the questions "Is my relationship healthy?" or "Is my partner a good fit for me?" or "Is our relationship on the right track?" If you want to work on and improve your relationship to make sure you are setup for a lifetime of long-term success, I'm breaking down the 8 parts of a thriving relationship. You probably have a few in your relationship already, but do you have all 8? It's not uncommon to be missing one or two but that's ok, with just a little bit of attention and intention, your relationship can be full of both ease and excitement!

episode "I want to fix our relationship, my other half doesn't think anything needs to change" artwork

"I want to fix our relationship, my other half doesn't think anything needs to change"

You cannot make your partner change. You can’t make him want to have sex more often. Or make him be more comfortable with non-monogamy. Or talk about his feelings more openly. That’s a good thing, actually. It means you don’t have to wait for things to change because you do have control over yourself and how you show up in the relationship.  In this casual conversation of an episode, I share with you what you CAN control and what you can do to make intimacy, honesty, vulnerability, and growth inevitable in your relationship.  If you feel trapped because you want to fix your relationship but your partner doesn’t even think anything needs fixing… this is the episode for you.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
