How this couple went from divorce to ONE Extraordinary Marriage, and have transformed marriages around the world with Tony and Alisa DiLorenzo

On the verge of divorce, at the end-road of an 11 year marriage with a family they built together, Tony decided he wanted to throw a BIG Hail Mary as a desperate final attempt to save their relationship. After years of rejection, dysfunction, addictions, financial issues, and more, they had unknowingly fallen into the traps of everyday complacency. Both of them desperately wondered why they couldn't seem to figure out this thing called marriage.

Tony's big idea...A 60 day sex challenge. Alisa, as most would expect, was not on board with this radical idea, as their marriage was in the worst spot it had ever been. But after a day of reflection, standing alone in the laundry room, she had a spiritual intervention that came to her in the form of a question...

"If you aren't willing to try this, your marriage is actually over. Are you okay with that?"

Questioning Constructs: Gender norms and more

We all go through life, absorbing social constructs from our families, communities, cultures, etc. More often than not, very few of those constructs and what is considered "normal" as a definition of those constructs are authentic to who we inherently are.

In this episode, we explore one of the constructs that we've explored A LOT in our own lives and in our relationship - gender "norms." As we've unraveled from old, untrue definitions of what gender means to us in our own lives, we've redesigned our lives with roles and tasks that are true to who we are instead of those that are traditionally defined by the "gender roles" within a family, business, community, etc.

Creating and holding space in order to be the best version of you

We believe the idea of space creation and holding space is one of the hardest things to do. And space filling is something that we all suffer from. The often unconscious and unintentional way that we allow our tasks, thoughts, obligations, responsibilities, and more rule our lives with pounding volume , can completely take over our ability to just "be". Just "being" is the state where we can learn the most about ourselves, where meaningful growth happens, relationships deepen, and where life's truths shine through.
