Welcome to the Lion Podcast, my name is Aaron Alexander and this is a place that we bring together

the world's leading experts in all things health and wellness to help you optimize your mind,

body, and movement. Today's conversation is with my dear friend, Amanda Bucci.

She is a life and leadership coach

to some of the world's most influential CEOs.

She is a spiritual psychologist.

And she is a really brilliant kind human being that I've known

for the last six years or so I value her perspectives immensely and in this conversation we get into some of the trap

and trappings of shame, how to release them, how to investigate them within ourselves,

finding internal liberation, the way that informs our physiology, our nervous

system, the way that we think, the way that we feel, how we engage in relationships, as well

as the multitude of relational containers a modern person can engage in,

i.e. polyamory compared to monogamy compared to whatever the freak else possibilities exist out there.

This conversation goes deep into Polyamory. Amanda is publicly engaged in a polyamorous relationship. She is married in fact in a

what seems to be a healthy, happy, well communicative polyamorous relationship and she shares all about it on the internet and

they're excited to get to extract some of the wisdom that she is encountered in her experiences

over the years she is encountered in her experiences over the years. She is a really brilliant human being. We also get into

her most recent book, Followed, which taps into some of the psychological and sociological implications of social media, the way that we engage in social media,

how that relates to the way that we engage in IRL in the real life.

So this conversation was fun, I think it was very meaningful. I think it was one that will be worth sharing to any friends or family or anyone that really

participates in any form of relationship, including that with one with yourself.

And I'm just so grateful to just share some time here with Amanda Bucci.
