  • Our Story of Polarity: A Day in the Life Look at Embracing Masculine and Feminine Energies

    Our Story of Polarity: A Day in the Life Look at Embracing Masculine and Feminine Energies
    Jan 8 2026

    If you want more passion, polarity, and “juiciness” in your relationship, this episode is a real behind-the-scenes look at how masculine and feminine energies actually work in daily life.

    Many couples lose sexual charge not because something is “wrong,” but because their connection becomes neutralized over time. When the masculine and feminine poles aren’t consciously tended, relationships can start to feel stale, flat, or disconnected even when you’re doing all the “right” things.

    In this episode of the Together Podcast, Mike & Courtney unpack masculine essence and feminine essence (Shiva and Shakti), how to discover your authentic balance on the spectrum, and how to consciously choose polarity so intimacy stays alive.

    They share a personal story from their holiday season, how sickness and “mission mode” shifted their dynamic, and the exact moment they restored connection by flipping the polarity with presence, emotional truth, and nervous-system safety.


    ✨ In this episode:

    • What masculine & feminine energy really means (beyond gender)

    • How to find your authentic balance (not your coping strategy)

    • Why things get “stale” and how to bring the charge back

    • Shiva/Shakti, banks/river, bowl/water: simple metaphors that click

    • The #1 thing that kills polarity (and how to avoid it)

  • Beyond the Ordinary: How Sacred Relationships Redefine Modern Love

    Beyond the Ordinary: How Sacred Relationships Redefine Modern Love
    Jan 6 2026

    If you’ve outgrown conventional relationship advice and are craving a deeper, more conscious way of loving, this episode is for you.In a world that emphasizes hyper-independence, self-healing, and “doing your own work,” many couples feel confused about how to actually grow together. Sacred relationship offers a radically different paradigm—one where love becomes a living practice of mutual evolution, nervous system maturity, and devotion to the shared space between two people.


    In this foundational episode, Mike & Courtney explore how sacred relationship redefines modern love by moving beyond unconscious patterns, codependence myths, and purely individual growth. They share personal stories from their own marriage, the mentors who shaped their journey, and why thriving relationships require radical sovereignty AND deep togetherness.

    This conversation is an invitation into a more mature, embodied form of love—one that creates not just stability, but vitality, coherence, and real transformation for both partners.


    ✨ In this episode:

    • What sacred relationship actually is (and what it’s not)

    • Why hyper-independence weakens intimacy

    • The difference between individual healing and relational mastery

    • Why couples need support from people living this work

    • How the “Sacred We” becomes a third, guiding intelligence

    • Why relationship can be an accelerated path of awakening

    00:00 Introduction and Welcome

    00:14 Defining Sacred Relationship

    01:42 The Journey of Self-Love and Togetherness

    04:13 Challenges and Growth in Relationships

  • Frustrated with an avoidant partner who pulls away? Understand why and how to invite real connection

    Frustrated with an avoidant partner who pulls away? Understand why and how to invite real connection
    Dec 24 2025
    Are you frustrated with an avoidant partner who pulls away just when you’re trying to connect?In this deeply personal solo episode, Courtney Wren explores avoidant attachment, emotional withdrawal, and why pushing for connection often creates more distance instead of intimacy. Many people in conscious relationships feel lonely, unseen, or blamed for “needing too much” when their partner shuts down — but what’s actually happening underneath avoidance is far more complex.Courtney unpacks how avoidant attachment forms through emotional neglect, why avoidant partners often feel “fine” while the relationship suffers, and how nervous system regulation plays a critical role in intimacy. She shares real stories from her relationship with Mike, practical examples of what not to do, and powerful ways to invite connection without overwhelming, shaming, or chasing your partner.This episode is especially for those asking:Why do I feel like I’m doing all the work?How do I stop pushing and still stay true to myself?Is it possible to heal avoidance together?✨ In this episode:Why avoidance isn’t a choice — and why it feels safer than connectionThe difference between healthy space and relational withdrawalHow shame blocks avoidant partners from knowing what they feelWhat actually invites an avoidant partner back into connectionHow to stop repeating childhood attachment wounds in adult loveWhy meeting avoidance with compassion creates real change🎁 Free Gift: Leave a 5-star review, screenshot it, and send it to https://www.sacredrelating.com/together-podcast-gift to receive our Guided Journal Practice: Coming Home to Clarity.🌱 Join the Together Community → https://www.sacredrelating.com/⁠ 💛 Work with Mike & Courtney 2:2 → https://www.sacredrelating.com/sacred-relating-couplesWork with Mike → https://www.itsmikeelliott.com/coachingWork with Courtney → https://www.courtneywren.com/rebirth📺Subscribe to our YouTube Channel → https://www.youtube.com/@thetogetherpodcast🏹Join the Initiated Man Waitlist→ https://www.itsmikeelliott.com/initiated-man-waitlist💎 Join the Waitlist for The Holy Mama Membership →https://www.courtneywren.com/holymamawaitlistDonation link 👇🙏🏼❤️🌏⁠https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=VWHABJWZ749X4⁠Email:⁠⁠transform@itsmikeelliott.com⁠⁠⁠relating@courtneywren.com⁠Website:⁠⁠www.itsmikeelliott.com⁠⁠www.sacredrelaring.comwww.courtneywren.comInstagram:@MikeElliott.Relating@courtneywren.sacredrelatingMINDFULMEDS MUSHROOM PRODUCTShttps://mindfulmeds.io/THE SKIN DEEP CARDS: ⁠https://shop.theskindeep.com/collections/all⁠Promo Code: Together15

    If you’ve been feeling confused, disconnected, or stuck in the “should I stay or should I go?” loop, this is one of the most important relationship episodes you’ll ever hear.

They also share deeply personal stories about their past relationships, trauma patterns, attachment wounds, and what mature love looks like when clarity finally arrives.


    🌿 In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why “one foot in, one foot out” is emotionally and physically damaging

    • The difference between discomfort and real deal-breakers

    • How to find clarity when you’re terrified of choosing

    • Why honesty (with self and partner) is the key to maturity

They explore masculine and feminine dynamics, relationship repair, appreciation practices, and how to shift from resentment to teamwork.
