How Jealousy Can Be Healing in Relationships with Rishi Bond and Vanessa Viglietta

Commitment Phobe

Are you a jealous person? If so, how do you work with jealousy in your relationships? Jealousy is SUCH a touchy subject for some people, so I wanted to have a conversation about it with some fresh perspectives. My guests today, Rishi Bond and Vanessa Viglietta, are two friends from different corners of the world whom I brought together to talk about the role jealousy plays in relationships and how we can actually use it for learning and personal growth. I chose Vanessa for this conversation because she's in an open relationship with her partner and I wanted to hear how she works with jealousy in a way that betters the relationship. Rishi on the other hand, wanted to bring in the masculine perspective from "player" to "conscious relating". If you find it hard to deal with jealousy or talk about it, you don't want to miss this one!

Here's what we talk about:

-How jealousy can be a path to your desires. -How Vanessa changed relationship with women by using jealousy as curiosity marker. -Working through jealousy in poly/open relationships. -How talking about jealousy openly can deepen connection and intimacy with your partner. -Rishi's way of using jealousy to manipulate women and what inspired him to change. -My own relationship to jealousy and how it's come up in dating. -How helpful it can be to talk about infidelity in partnership. -The difference between envy and jealousy. -How our upbringing shaped our perspective on jealousy being a sin. And so much more juiciness! Connect with Rishi Bond: https://www.instagram.com/rishibond/ Connect with Vanessa Viglietta: https://www.instagram.com/vanessaviglietta/
