World Game-ChangersChallenging Conventional Thinking (2) – Paul D. Lowe & Nicole Bellisle
On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues his conversation with Nicole Bellisle about challenging conventional thinking, this time around relationships, and especially monogamy.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I’m someone who bought into monogamy til I was 28 years old & about to get married to the wrong person. We called it off, but that experience led me to question everything. Is this what I want? Is this going to work for me? Can I make a commitment to someone for a lifetime & still be in full integrity? Or, because of the every-evolving nature of ourselves, am I going to be a different person in 10 years with different needs & curiosities.
- I’ve explored open relationships, polygamy, and I’ve been playing in those places to understand what my ideal version of relationship is. I’ve found myself in situations that also didn’t work, and I’ve also found myself in a monogamous relationship!
- We need to honour ourselves with reverence & truth, even if it’s scary or will potentially cause family members or people close to us to judge us or cast us out. The challenge for me is in the questioning of ideals, I was really, really indoctrinated/brainwashed by Disney into believing monogamy is the only way. I’m still a romantic but my idea of relationship has been cracked open and is a bit more flexible now.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Where have my values come from? Are they values I want to keep? Are they values I want to change?’
‘Honour what’s true for you'.
‘Things are no longer ‘either/or’, they’re ‘both/and’ or ‘both/neither’'.
‘I now trust this person more than anyone because of this experience & because of how I’ve created trust with myself'.

ABOUT THE GUEST
Nicole Bellisle: Conscious leadership is a deep practice that invites us to stand in our truth & integrity. When we do the inner work to self-heal & master our energy, we build cultures that invite people into their wholeness, rather than cultures that exploit or control. The culture of work is undergoing a huge paradigm shift, & that shift starts within you, in your "inner culture."
As an executive educator at Harvard University, Reiki Master, & serial entrepreneur, I've been humbly walking the path to mastering these practices, & am here to share them with you.
