Domestication: Is Marriage Killing Your Aliveness? — Alyson and Tripp Lanier

Is marriage a death sentence for the part of you that is wild?

Do you ever wonder what happened to fun, adventure, and spontaneity?

And how can we avoid becoming another Homer Simpson or turning our partner into a “ball and chain?”

Today Alyson and I dive into the topic of domestication. We explore how responsibilities and structure are necessary, but they don’t have to kill what makes us feel alive and free.

In this conversation:

  • Domestication
  • Do women struggle with domestication?
  • Family life and dying inside
  • The need for wonder and awe
  • The tendency to sleep walk through life

Plus:

  • What is your North Star?
  • Protecting and nurturing our wildness
  • Being at war with ourselves
  • Expecting others to read our minds
  • Who is responsible for your happiness?
