184. The Neutrality of Others

The Myth of Ownership

What if the greatest source of suffering isn't love itself, but our belief that we can possess what was never ours to own? In this episode of Skin & Soul, Gwenm sits down with author, entrepreneur, and creator of the viral EroticSleepOver events, Cidney G. Green, for a provocative conversation about freedom, attachment, desire, and the stories we inherit about love. Drawing from her book All 3 in Me, Cidney shares how Nichiren Buddhism shaped her understanding of attraction, identity, and personal responsibility. Together, they explore the tension between intimacy and freedom, the challenge of unlearning control, and why so many of us confuse love with ownership. This is not a conversation about whether non-monogamy is right or wrong. It's a deeper inquiry into what happens when we stop expecting other people to complete us, save us, choose us, or make us happy. From relationships and jealousy to spirituality, self-sovereignty, and the many parts of ourselves we carry beneath the surface, this episode invites us to examine where we grip too tightly and what becomes possible when we finally loosen our hold. Topics include: • The myth of ownership in love and relationships • Buddhism and personal responsibility • Attraction, identity, and self-reflection • Unlearning control and attachment • Non-monogamy and freedom • Jealousy, desire, and emotional honesty • The many selves we carry within us • What it means to live authentically on your own terms • Self-sovereignty and the pursuit of happiness A bold, honest, and thought-provoking conversation about love, freedom, and the parts of ourselves that are still learning how to let go.

184. The Neutrality of Others

What if the person you have been struggling with is actually neutral  and you have been the one writing the story? In this opening episode of a four-part June series, we introduce what may be the most freeing concept in any relational life: the neutrality of others. Other people are not the source of your suffering. Their behavior is neutral. It is your thoughts about that behavior, running on a loop inside your own mind, that create the relationship you are having with them. Once you understand this all the way down, the entire location of your work changes. You stop trying to fix the relationship from the outside. You stop waiting on the other person to change. You stop hosting your emotional life on someone else's behavior. You come home. This episode covers three concepts that, when fully understood, change every relationship you have: 1. People are neutral. Your thoughts about them create the relationship. 2. Lovability is a birthright. The variable is capacity. 3. Take care of your own needs first. Everything else is a bonus. Leah brings personal stories, the coaching lens she has used with thousands of clients, and a practice you can begin this week ... pick one person, do the work, and watch what happens to you. The other person never has to change a thing. This is week one of four. The relationship you most want to repair, deepen, or release is on the other side of this work. You are 100% lovable. So are they. Worth is a birthright. The work is the love.

The results sparked her passion for understanding neuroplasticity, coherence, frequency, and the growing scientific exploration of consciousness.
