Opposites Attract

[@jillt.3195]

She’s telling him she needs more one on one connection with him. He’s saying he’s been working his ass off to keep the family afloat. Classic marriage issues. I’m no spiritual guru but if I were here’s what I’d say. Rich plan an outing in nature for just the two of you. Maybe a picnic near a waterfall or lake that you can swim in or at least get your toes wet together. Julie he needs appreciation from you on a more consistent basis. Tell him you love him and all you are so grateful he has found a work path that can be sometimes grueling but also so fulfilling for him. Happy Anniversary.💕

[@wephotogal]

Respectfully speaking, sometimes it's just nice to relax, go for a walk, or listen to some music. It doesn't have to be so "spiritual" or have a "ceremony" to connect. It's simply being. Whether apart or together. Connect. Know each other's boundaries and do what works for you, it shouldn't be a production.

[@sugarplumk2381]

Well said! You express what I was thinking better than i could.

[@lindaclark5911]

[@trentdoyledoyletrent]

Yeah it feels like their is no ceiling to her expectations. You can tell Rich finds her ideas of how life should be a little impractical too, but he is too respectful to say it frankly. On the other hand, he seemingly received a fair bit of heat from Julie. I hate to comment on their relationship but....

[@fortcastlevgn2368]

awww well said,, me atheist or agnistic or any of those toxic words that i dont want to use to categorize constant evolving beings,, apreciate you seperating the

[@lauren4434]

I feel his devotion is palpable, human, humble, without a single ceremony.

[@lindaclark5911]

Lauren he is afraid of her.

[@lauren4434]

perhaps.... on a certain level we are all afraid. The divine feminine never sees her masculine as afraid though. Blessings.

[@rustygrace1]

Lauren I don’t think it’s divine. It feels like she’s been burned, understandably, and she’s still holding that. If anyone is wondering if I’ve been there, I have. But this is a strange dynamic, and it’s uncomfortable to watch because it is uncomfortable.

[@dougscott188]

I dated someone like her once. 😂 In some ways she is interesting and in some ways I understand why he sleeps in a tent. I think she should let him do his thing because I think he speaks to a certain audience in a way her ways would not connect with and maybe she should use her own platform to reach people that connect with her message.

[@captainemodaweirdestrapper4446]

I'd sleep in a tent too...

[@nyanpraterjr1819]

Doug, I agree. : ) : )

[@fronesis01]

Exactly! I can't stand women like her. Gosh!

[@kjazzingilbert]

Wow! The title is Opposites Attract, but the overall message I got was more like, we are very much opposites, but ultimately you must do ceremonies with me and be like me. I've been in this kind of relationship and the best day of my life was when I got out of it.

[@paulbateman858]

I feel like one side of this relationship would benefit from ramping up their empathy and dialing back on the Chakra gazing for sure.

[@patriciakelly6840]

I think a lot of people are envious and possibly intimidated by strong women. Only men who are confident and sure of themselves can experience that joy. Also, how open and beautiful their relationship is which most definitely would bring up jealousy in others. I see her being very generous to Rich ...thanking him etc. I guess when negative feelings like jealousy, envy, ill will come up in me I try to hold myself in loving kindness. When I spew my ill will out to others not only does it hurt them it hurts me twice as much. Thanks @Rich Roll and @Julie Piatt for openly sharing how successful relationships work and standing the test of time.

[@Alistair_Spence]

When Saruman the White, Lord of Isengard, gives you an ultimatum, what choice but to comply?

[@sugarplumk2381]

Okay, I haven’t finished watching this but my first thought is wow, some people complicate life and over-analyse. Anyway I’ll try to keep watching. ...

[@bonnie3232]

My thoughts exactly.I don't know of I will make it to the end.

[@terrymutant3581]

Relationships needs three things: Passion, Respect and Friendship . If these are missing it's just a house of cards.

[@paulbateman858]

Hmm, there's a lot of 'I' in this 'we' conversation. Sounds like a super one sided idea of what Rich 'should' want. However positive a place this eminates from, it feels very controlling and self opinionated from the outside.

[@lindaclark5911]

Paul Bateman thankyou for your authentic articulation of exactly what ive been thinking. Her force of nature is scary.

[@kjazzingilbert]

I felt the same way.

[@sugarplumk2381]

Yes I agree. Rather than being zen, “spiritual” or whatever kind of place she is trying to get to, I felt she would be high maintenance.

[@virginiadelrio3665]

I felt that way from the other podcast. Maybe it's her energy, something doesn't come across easy feeling from her when she is on Rich's podcasts, but, listening to her own podcasts I felt very different about her, still, I don't get the same connection I feel towards Rich, but It was good listening to her by herself. I feel overwhelmed by her and not in a good way, but maybe it's just where I'm at my own path right now.

[@noname-gm3hh]

We are listening to her telling her husband about their relationship. She says “you” in the conversation. If this was her with another interviewer, she might sound natural and relaxed telling her story to the third person, referring Rich as “he”.

[@elysium334]

Wow there's so much hate in the comments toward Julie, I support her for voicing her beliefs and trying to promote the growth of their marriage, there's no toxicity in that at all. You don't have to be spiritual but respect other people's value for spirituality.

[@kellymahoney7363]

I watch podcasts out of habit. Think I’ll cut back now and just commune with the Devine. Thanks, Julie.

[@jmc8076]

Kelly Mahoney Ironic as it’s a valuable and practical source income for their family.

[@piscessun3087]

WOW. Now it makes perfect sense why her husband would want to sleep in a tent on the roof of his house every night... I felt she pretty much monopolized the entire conversation. That was the first time I've ever heard her speak, usually it's just segments of her cooking in the kitchen and I'm quite surprised as I pictured her to be much more soft and cherishing towards Rich, she's definitely an alpha female I would say! Keep running Rich!!👍🌈😎🌴

[@jaleotech5918]

I don't think Rich will be her last marriage. There will be a forth... She's already calling out his inadequacies.

[@tima7756]

I feel like a person that obsesses over being spiritual all the time, can't be very spiritual at all

[@jbt6007]

This part of the podcast is interesting. Look at the body language. Julie is super intense and Rich has a hard time maintaining eye contact and seems intimidated. Love them both but it's cool to breakdown seeing this on video.

[@jimminychristmas8100]

Run Rich, Run!

[@sobellabg804]

Thank you for this, Rich and Julie! The things we do out of habit. We default to vegging out. Life should have more purpose and meaning. My husband and I will be doing more of THIS and less of all the meaningless muck that pulls at us every day. Sending much love to you both.

[@brookgraves368]

They can go camping together at a Beautiful place in nature, which involves tent sleeping.

[@velocitygirl8551]

This ... hurts. Wishing you both the peace and serenity you DESERVE 🤗

[@jenns6063]

I definitely get the feeling of anger right below her surface.

[@fortcastlevgn2368]

i can clearly see her anger under it all,, we all see it,, shes not well in herself STOP EATING FATS MADAM ITS NOT GOOD FOR YOU,, (except algea flax chia leafy ofc)

[@Amalya88]

I think its great to see a woman set realistic goals in a relationship. I believe it might be confronting for a man to bear witness to that - but the exercise of pushing for change is not always sweet. I love Rich Rolls wife and although it seems confronting her statement is bold and it’s for everyone to hear. Woman should elevate and should have the space and love to do so - setting intention is important and men should partcipate in activation. I think Rich is really brave to allow space for his wife to speak her wants and intergrate changes, it takes a lot of integrity from both of them to talk like this - alot of times this would lead to a respose that was defensive or cloaked witrh passive withdrawal or rejection - or silence. Go team!!!

[@jaleotech5918]

She's out of control. Actually she's a total control freak. And he seems terrified of her..

[@dawnyprestom9108]

He cant look anymore relaxed and himself. Ehhh I think you just might be projecting.

[@jaleotech5918]

@@dawnyprestom9108 maybe but I doubt it.

[@TonyScottMusic]

She is a total nightmare. Self important ego maniac and about as spiritual as a boil. Being wed to her is equal to a death sentence. If I was half way up a mountain with that bunny boiler I would be tempted to push her off

[@musicisagoodvibe]

I feel there is something about her I don´t trust, something that is not as honest as she tries to justify or prove. In my opinion, she would chose partners who she feels would look up to her but also who could provide.... If not, she would move on. As I watched half of this podcast (full version) I felt her ego is unfortunately above the relationship.

[@jaleotech5918]

Hopefully Rich has learned from this fiasco and never exposes his poor choices in public again.

[@repurposeyou]

Man I understand both. You don’t want to be too intense all the time but you don’t want to be too relaxed. It depends on the tasks at hand. You don’t have to do anything GRAND and OUTRAGEOUS to have a good experience though. I’m more like Rich on the routine and expectation of how the day will go. It’s very HARD for me to be vulnerable and spontaneous for the sake of it.

[@abraun79]

Chill out mystic woman ....

[@BOOMBOXKILLA]

For some reason I can't connect well to her, I'm trying, but its tedious..

[@bonnie3232]

Amen

[@katievee222]

I liked this video as soon as she said she wants themto go to a cliff and take their clothes off. THAT is an anniversary celebration!

[@Nyet103]

Yep. I liked that idea too! :)

[@Conversations970]

She's held Space for so long.........it seems he now has an ultimatum. Interesting.

[@AR-iy1kl]

just do as you are told Rich.. :) :)

[@lauramowbray1226]

This conversation exudes self respect mirrored in love of one another, pure regard for autonomy and sovereignty. It is very beautiful to watch. Julie speaks a voice that many women have kept hidden, a collective voice that is beginning to find safe space in more non-judgmental platforms. Comments beginning to form in this feed are an example of why silence has been maintained to avoid these judgements, status quo. But no longer. Julie is carving a path for many women who are finding courage to express their voices and souls regardless of negative pushback. It’s seems clear Rich honours this voice through open dialogue and deep listening.

[@carinaekstrom1]

But I think he has to find out when he needs this kind of spirituality in his life for himself. A little incentive from her can be good, but somehow it feels like a bit too much. He seems to be doing great just the way he is, and improving at his own pace.

[@lauramowbray1226]

Carina Ekström I agree with you the fact that spiritual path is the for the individual, and it does look different to all people regardless of circumstance.

[@sugarplumk2381]

Laura Mowbray We’ve been married for almost 30 years. He’s still my best friend and we love and respect each other. It’s not hard, just talk to each other. Those women who don’t have a voice in their relationship are with the wrong person. Grow together and encourage each other but don’t try to change them.

[@jenlovesthisstuff]

I'm super curious to know what MBTI personality types Rich and Julie are. Anyone want to guess? I'd say Rich would be INFJ....Julie..ESTJ/ENTJ??

[@mediokritet]

Can someone explain to me what is a ceremony. Standing naked on the edge of the cliff sounds... traumatizing

[@sheryla54]

Holy moly!!!

[@levonteking5040]

Sounds like Earth Momma wants Tent Man to get on her 'holier than thou' level. Who makes the money honey?

[@paulbrown9415]

Your a jerk dude; got any other wise remarks???

[@champtech8755]

Pretty sure she's making more money than him, at least when they got married. So most likely she feels he owes her.

THIS WAS A WIERD PODCAST. I THINK I COULD NOT CONCENTRATE , THEIR BODY LANGUAGE WAS TOO LOUD.

[@surfdetective]

More ceremony is much like.......more cowbell. except with a spiritual nature....

[@wephotogal]

lol

[@jbt6007]

There IS ceremony in going out to dinner, roses AND Netflix. Just gotta dial in.

[@wephotogal]

@@jbt6007 - yes, and there is no need to make it complicated and all showy. Just be and connect.

[@refused1]

She’s very open and adventurous and rich is heads down conquering his purpose. I see her effort to ground rich but rich seems hesitant

[@akol916]

Hmm. I'm a bit confused are they sending a message to their audience or are they in the verge of being bore with each other that the chemistry is fading away. I have being in a relationship with the same person for the last 22 years and there comes a point in a relation that you just want want to disconnect from everything including your partner, wife, kids. Maybe they are at that point in their relationship it doesn't mean they don't love each other anymore is just that they have outgrown their relationship as humans, lovers, friends it can be dangerous. Having this dialogue will definitely help them and any one else release some of that stress, even though they look completely stress free.

[@Nyet103]

Triathalon over crystals!

[@ellebellebehring5329]

Woah

[@enatp6448]

Wow, interesting to read the comments here. Says a lot about the type of following. I think her boldness reflects the stage of their relationship and their lives. It's no BS. "This is what I see in the next chapter." I'm guessing he wrote a lot of the script up to this point. So take it easy hyper-masculine male. There's a context to this conversation.

[@vegandragonflies]

WOW

Hillary Clinton got me to take lots of hard pauses throughout my day, head-down, oxygen/blood-flow to the frontal-lobe/executive-function from the cerebral-cortex/reptilian-brain and ask myself, "What should we/I do next, I/we only have so much energy/time/resources to work with, what must die for other, more important, things to live?"

[@dawnyprestom9108]

I love everything about this. Everything.

[@UchihaChikiru]

Damn this is a lot of intense energy emanating from the brutal honesty of this almost monologue I mean when you cut away all the woowoo crystal nonsense, I can definitely feel that strong presence of a fierce women, who has been held down for too long, even through my screen. I can’t say that I would like her in person or honour her spiritual beliefs with any seriousness but I would definitely respect her tenacity and will.
