One of you can’t find the words.Shuts down. Goes quiet.

And the other feels it instantly.

Rejected.Confused.Maybe even hurt… or angry.

And just like that, you’re no longer on the same team.You’re in a pattern.

Because when one person shuts down and the other reaches for connection, it can quickly turn into a cycle of withdrawal and pursuit that leaves both of you feeling misunderstood.

But what if that shutdown isn’t indifference…and the hurt you feel isn’t overreaction?

What if something deeper is happening beneath the surface for both of you?

In this deeply personal session, I respond to Bria, who finds herself shutting down during conflict and struggling to explain it to her partner without creating more distance.

This episode will help you understand what’s really happening in those moments and give you a new way to stay connected without overwhelming your system or your relationship.

• What’s actually happening when one of you “goes blank” and the other feels pushed away

• The hidden pattern that turns simple conflict into disconnection for both of you

• How to explain shutdown in a way that builds understanding instead of distance

• What each of you can do in the moment to interrupt the cycle before it escalates

• A simple way to calm your nervous system and come back into connection

• How to stay present in hard conversations without shutting down or pushing each other away

If you’ve ever felt yourself disappear in the middle of a conversation…or sit across from someone you love and feel like you’re losing them in real time…

This episode will help you understand the pattern you’re in and give you a way to move through it together, with more awareness, more compassion, and real connection.

It fuels your focus.Your confidence.Your ability to take action and move through the world with presence.

But most people unconsciously leak it… or only access it in the narrow context of sex.

What if you could harness that same energy and use it to feel more alive, more clear, and more in control of your life?

In this bite, I show you how to redirect your arousal into usable power, without needing a partner or release.

You’ll learn a simple daily practice that helps you feel more grounded, more focused, and more connected to yourself… so you stop moving through your day on autopilot and start showing up with intention.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How to stop unconsciously draining your energy and begin circulating it through your body

• A simple shift that turns sexual energy into creativity, clarity, and forward momentum

• Why holding this energy changes how you feel in your body and how others respond to you

• A 3–5 minute activation practice you can use anytime to reset your state

This is about more than desire.It’s about learning how to work with your energy so it supports the life you want to create.

If you’re ready to feel more turned on by your life, not just moments within it, this is a powerful place to start.

If you want to learn more about harnessing your sexual energy, make sure to read Sex Magic, and check out my Quantum Sex course to take your connection and pleasure to the next level.

Not because anything is “wrong.”But because something inside you is ready for more… and you haven’t quite trusted it yet.

In this episode, I sit down with Shannon Watts, founder of one of the largest grassroots movements in the U.S. and author of Fired Up, to talk about what it really takes to stop living on autopilot and start building a life that actually feels like yours.

Because the wake-up call rarely arrives as clarity.

It shows up as burnout.As restlessness.As that quiet voice that won’t go away.

And the real question becomes… what do you do with it?

In this conversation, we explore:

• How to recognize when you’ve outgrown your life… and what to do next

• The small, powerful shifts that move you from stuck to in motion (even without clarity)

• Why motivation disappears right when things start to matter, and how to rebuild it

• How to stop overthinking and start taking aligned action before you feel “ready”

• What it actually takes to trust yourself and follow through, even when it’s uncomfortable

If you’ve been feeling that nudge… that pull toward something more… this episode will help you turn that spark into real momentum.

Because you don’t need to have it all figured out to begin.You just need to be willing to listen… and take the next step.

If this conversation lit a fire, don’t let it go out. Shannon’s book Fired Up shows how to take that spark and turn it into action. Explore her work and Firestarter University to see what you can start building today.

In this Language of Love Session, I respond to Theo, who feels anxious initiating because of his fear of rejection. So he waits. It feels safer to avoid the risk. But over time, distance builds as his partner feels undesired. He feels on edge. And intimacy begins to feel heavy instead of connection.

At the heart of this conversation is the rejection trigger that can make initiation feel like emotional danger. When an old wound gets activated, “not now” can feel like “not you.” And unless you address that wound, it will quietly run your relationship.

We dive into: 

• Why “not tonight” can hit like a full rejection even when it’s not meant that way

• The role each partner has to play in the intimacy initiation deadlock

• How to recognize and heal a rejection wound (even if there was no major trauma)

• Strategies that actually work that take the pressure off  and guesswork out of the equation

In this Language of Love Bite, I break down the real roots of sexual insecurity and share a practical, neuroscience-backed path to building unshakable confidence. Most men believe confidence means never losing an erection or always knowing the right move. But that pressure to perform is exactly what shuts down your arousal response.

I explain why sexual insecurity is not a character flaw. It is a nervous system response. When you go into fight-or-flight mode during intimacy, your body literally cannot stay aroused. The solution is not trying harder. It is learning how to stay calm and grounded when you feel exposed or vulnerable.

I also explore the stories we tell ourselves after one bad experience. That mental loop of “I’m not good enough” or “She’s going to lose interest” quickly becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I show you how to interrupt that pattern and replace it with a grounded, earned confidence so you stop abandoning yourself when things do not go perfectly.

I break down:

• Why sexual confidence is about comfort with the unknown, not control

• The connection between your nervous system and performance issues (erection loss, premature ejaculation, numbness)

• Real signs of  sexual confidence

• What women actually find sexy (It’s not perfection, it’s presence)

• The "pre-game grounding drill": a simple 5-breath practice to shift from pressure to safety

• How to anchor small wins after sex to retrain your brain

• The daily 3-minute mirror affirmation that rewires how you show up sexually

• Why the most confident men are the ones who choose to show up with honesty and heart, over and over again

In this episode of The Language of Love Conversations, I sit down with Krista Williams and Lindsey Simcik, the powerhouse duo behind the top-rated Almost 30 podcast and co-authors of Almost 30: The Life You Want Is Coming. Together, they’ve built a global community helping women navigate growth, healing, and the messy, beautiful transition into deeper self-awareness.

In our conversation, we explore what it really means to go through a period of transformation… the kind where your old identity no longer fits, but your new one hasn’t fully formed yet. Krista and Lindsey share how their own journey began in their late twenties, feeling lost, disconnected, and unsure of their path, and how that uncertainty ultimately became the foundation for everything they’ve built today.

What I love most about this conversation is that it doesn’t try to “fix” the discomfort of being in transition. Instead, it reframes it. This isn’t a breakdown… it’s a becoming.

We talk about the Saturn return, the “dark night of the soul,” and the pressure so many people feel to have their lives figured out by a certain age. Krista and Lindsey challenge that narrative and offer a more compassionate, grounded perspective on growth, one that allows for uncertainty, emotional depth, and trust in the unseen.

We also dive into the realities of spiritual growth, including the trap of spiritual bypassing, and why true healing requires being with your emotions rather than avoiding them. They share powerful insights on learning to trust your body, developing discernment, and building a relationship with yourself that feels safe, honest, and grounded.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re behind, stuck, or questioning everything about your life, this conversation will remind you that you’re not off track… you’re right where you’re meant to be.

We dive into:

• Why your late twenties (and beyond) can feel like everything is falling apart… and why that’s actually a good thing
• The truth about Saturn return and how it initiates deep personal transformation
• What the “pause” or “in-between” season really means and how to navigate it
• How to build trust in yourself and in something greater than you

• The difference between spiritual growth and spiritual bypassing
• Why feeling your emotions is essential to healing (and why avoiding them keeps you stuck)
• How to use your body as a guide for decision-making and discernment
• The role of friendship and safe relationships in healing old wounds
• Understanding codependency and how to reclaim your sense of self
• Why you’re not behind in life… and how to release the pressure to have it all figured out

Remember, the life you want may not come from having all the answers. It may come from learning to trust yourself in the questions.

In this Language of Love Session, I respond to Sabrina, who is sitting with a question so many women carry in silence. She loves her partner. She wants sex. But her body is not responding. She misses feeling turned on. She misses that spark. Now sex feels confusing instead of natural.

She asks what most women are afraid to say out loud. How do you reconnect with sex and pleasure when your body is not cooperating, without turning intimacy into pressure or performance?

The truth is, this is more common than you think. And it is not about trying harder. It is about understanding your hormones, strengthening your pelvic floor, deepening emotional safety, and removing the pressure that shuts desire down in the first place.

We dive into: 

• The hormonal shifts that can start as early as your mid-30s

• How testosterone, not just estrogen, plays a critical role in desire

• Why childbirth, perimenopause, and aging change your response

• How pelvic floor strength, including Kegels, affects arousal and orgasm

• How hormonal birth control and SSRIs like Zoloft and Prozac can sabotage desire

• How stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and body image issues shut down desire

• Why emotional connection is foundational to long-term sexual attraction

• How to tell if it is a relationship issue or a general stress response

• Why added stimulation, lubrication, and sexual aids are not cheating, they are smart

• What changes after 40 and how to work with your body instead of against it

• How vibrant, connected sex is possible your whole life

Remember, you are not meant to navigate your relationship or your sexuality alone. If you would like to be featured on the show or have a question you want me to answer, email me at languageoflovepod@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you.

Most women will admit they’ve faked an orgasm at some point. And the truth is, orgasmic behaviors like gasping, moaning, back-arching, dramatic reactions, even rhythmic contractions can all be performed. If all of that can be faked, how are you supposed to know what’s real?

In this Language of Love Bite, I break down the signs she may be faking it, why women do it, and how to shift from performative sex to intimacy that feels genuinely connected for both of you.

Most men don’t realize that when a woman fakes it, it’s rarely about manipulation. I unpack what’s really behind the “mercy fake.” It’s not about you being bad in bed. It’s about pressure, protection, and not knowing how to say no. But when faking becomes a pattern, real connection starts to erode.

I also explain how real arousal is usually responsive and fluid, not scripted. When her reactions don’t shift with what you’re doing, when she rushes you to finish, or when her body feels tense and she seems emotionally distant afterward, those are signals worth paying attention to.

I explore:

• Why 75% of women (and honestly, probably more) have faked it

• The biggest red flags that her responses are a performance

• How real arousal sounds and looks compared to going through the motions

• Body language signals that reveal disconnection

• Why faking it is emotionally exhausting and what that looks like afterward

• he one simple question that opens the door to honesty and better sex

In this episode of The Language of Love Conversations, I sit down with Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah, one of Africa’s most influential feminist voices and the author of the powerful new book Seeking Sexual Freedom: African Rites, Rituals, and Sankofa in the Bedroom. Nana is also the award-winning writer behind The Sex Lives of African Women, and her work has sparked global conversations about pleasure, liberation, and the deeper truths women share across cultures.

In our conversation, we delve into her new book, which is part travel log, part cultural excavation, and part manifesto. Together, we explore African traditions around sexuality and pleasure that existed long before colonization and how those traditions challenge many of the stories women have inherited about desire and shame.

What I love most about Nana’s work is that she doesn’t frame sexual liberation as something women must rebel toward. Instead, she invites us to remember.

We talk about traditions like the “sex auntie,” communal rituals where women gathered across generations to share wisdom, and the importance of embodiment. Nana also shares how reconnecting with movement and our bodies can help us step out of shame and rediscover sensuality.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, burdened by shame you didn’t ask for, or curious about what pleasure might feel like if you could unlearn everything you were taught, this conversation is for you.

We dive into:

• The meaning of Sankofa and how reclaiming the past can restore sexual freedom

• How colonialism interrupted natural freedom, leading to modern shame, homophobia, and marginalization

• The role of sex aunties (Senga) in guiding young women toward body confidence and pleasure without shame

• Rituals and rites of passage that created safe spaces for learning about sex

• Embodied practices like dance and movement as pathways to pleasure

• How sexual confidence influences confidence in the rest of our lives

• The trauma of female genital mutilation (FGM) and efforts to preserve cultural rites without harm

• What sexual freedom actually feels like in the body

• How we can all create new rituals for ourselves, our daughters, and our communities

• Why intergenerational conversations about sexuality matter

Remember, sexual freedom may not be something we need to fight for. It may be something we’re being invited to rediscover.

In this Language of Love Session, I respond to Naomi, who feels stuck in this exact cycle. She avoids hard conversations because she’s afraid of ruining a good day. But the resentment always comes back. Naomi wants to know: How do I bring things up without it turning into a fight? And how do I stop feeling guilty just for needing to talk about hard things?

As a recovering codependent, I know this pattern personally. And after years of working with couples, I can tell you this isn’t about being “too sensitive.” It’s often about a nervous system that learned early on that conflict equals danger. If you grew up around anger, neglect, gaslighting, addiction, or emotional volatility, advocating for yourself can feel terrifying, even when you’re safe.

We dive into: 

• Why growing up in certain environments makes it hard to claim your needs as an adult

• How to tell if your partner’s annoyance is their trigger or actual mistreatment

• The three part framework for bringing up anything: Feelings, Story, Solution

• Why focusing on bodily sensations, not just emotions, changes everything

• The importance of having a clear ask, not just dumping frustration

• When the issue is not your delivery but your partner’s capacity for healthy love

• How to recognize when you need professional support to break patterns that aren’t serving 

If you always keep quiet just to avoid rocking the boat… and then find yourself blowing up later over something small, this session is a must-listen.

In this Language of Love Bite, we explore what women really remember and talk about when sex feels amazing. Because the truth is, being the lover she brags about has far less to do with performance, and everything to do with presence, generosity, and emotional intelligence.

This episode breaks down the subtle but powerful ways your energy, attention, and responsiveness shape the entire experience. From how you look at her, to how you listen to her body, to how you stay connected even after sex is over, these are the things that make intimacy linger in her mind and body long after the moment ends.

We explore:

• The top three things women actually brag about after great sex

• Why presence and eye contact can be more powerful than technique

• How generosity builds desire and trust

• The role of emotional intelligence in unforgettable intimacy

• The 70/30 giving-to-receiving ratio that creates connection

• How reading her body and adapting in the moment deepens pleasure

• Why staying present after sex seals the experience emotionally

We dig into how childhood wounds, trauma, and constant uncertainty wire your nervous system to stay on high alert, why worry becomes addictive, and how your body can hold onto memories long after your mind has forgotten. Russell also talks about intuition, sensitivity, and spirituality in healing, and why reconnecting with yourself is one of the most powerful ways to calm fear.

Toward the end, I ask the question every anxious person I meet wants answered. When your body feels overwhelmed, how do you shift from alarm to safety? Russell shares simple, practical tools you can start using right away, tools that help your nervous system relax and bring you back to peace.

We explore:

• Why anxiety is a body-based alarm, not a thought problem

• The difference between anxious thoughts and somatic fear

• How childhood trauma and separation shape adult anxiety

• The dopamine worry loop and why anxiety feels addictive

• The connection between anxiety, OCD, and unresolved grief

• How somatic practices calm the nervous system at the root

• Why reconnecting with yourself and something greater creates lasting healing

Remember, healing is not something you do alone, and it was never about fixing what was broken. To learn more about Dr. Russell Kennedy and his work, visit his website and explore Anxiety Rx, along with his accessible online program, Your Mind Body Prescription for Permanent Anxiety Healing.

In this Language of Love Session, I respond to Derek, a listener who feels stuck in this exact cycle. He and his partner apologize after fights, but nothing truly shifts, and the same emotional wounds keep reopening. Derek wants to understand what real repair looks like, how long it should take, and how couples can rebuild trust when apologies no longer feel meaningful.

We explore how couples can move beyond surface level apologies and into genuine emotional responsibility. This includes uncovering the hidden needs behind certain behaviors, learning how to interrupt destructive patterns in the moment, and creating practical plans that support real, lasting change.

We dive into: 

• Why apologies without behavior change do not rebuild trust

• What real emotional repair looks like in healthy relationships

• How unconscious triggers and past experiences fuel repeated conflict

• Why good intentions are not enough to stop recurring arguments

• How to uncover the emotional needs driving hurtful patterns

• Practical ways to interrupt negative cycles in real time

• When couples therapy can help reset the relationship and heal deeper wounds

• How consistency, empathy, and accountability rebuild emotional safety over time

If you feel trapped in repeating the same fights, if apologies in your relationship feel hollow, or if you long for deeper healing and real change, this episode will help you see a new path forward.

If Derek’s story resonates with you, or if you have a relationship challenge you would like guidance on, I invite you to reach out. Your story could help someone else feel understood and less alone.

In this Language of Love Bite, I’m talking about what happens after sex, why those moments matter so much, and how they shape whether intimacy deepens or quietly starts to fade. This is where emotional connection is built. It’s also where a lot of men, without realizing it, emotionally disappear.

I explain what’s really going on in the body and brain after orgasm, and why men and women often experience that moment very differently. While many men feel a natural drop in energy or focus, women often feel a strong pull toward closeness and connection. When that need is met, sex feels complete. When it’s not, even great sex can leave her feeling unsettled or alone.

I cover:

• Why sex isn’t emotionally over when you finish

• What most women actually need in the minutes after sex

• Why many men pull away without realizing it and how that lands for her

• How staying physically and emotionally present builds trust and desire

• Simple ways to deepen connection after sex without saying much

• A quiet, 30 second, wordless gesture that helps a woman feel seen, safe, and held

In this Language of Love session, I connect with Elena, a listener who reached out because she feels exhausted in her relationship. She is the one holding everything together, remembering birthdays, checking in emotionally, making plans, and keeping the balance steady. She does not want to villainize her partner, but she is tired of feeling loved for what she does instead of who she is.

In this session, I help Elena unpack why this dynamic is so common in long-term relationships and how it often is not about a lack of love, but a disconnect in how love is expressed and received. We explore how love languages shape our expectations, why resentment can quietly build over time, and how to ask for emotional support without turning the conversation into an argument about chores or who does more.

In this session, I dive into:

• Why feeling unseen can slowly erode intimacy

• Why this dynamic often emerges over time, especially after major life changes like having children.

• How love languages influence what makes us feel cherished

• Why loving your partner the way you want to be loved can miss the mark

• How to clearly articulate your needs and desires

• Practical ways to ask for support, romance, and appreciation in ways that actually land

• When it might be time to consider short-term couples therapy to reset your relationship's trajectory positively.

If Elena’s story resonates, if you feel like the emotional anchor in your relationship or long to feel more deeply known, I want to hear from you. Your story could help someone else feel less alone.

In this Language of Love Bite, we’re talking about why emotional and psychological safety are the real gateways to female arousal. Because if a woman doesn’t feel seen, connected, and at ease, her body simply won’t follow no matter how much effort you put in physically.

I break down how women experience desire differently than men, why stress and emotional disconnection shut down arousal, and how engaging her mind first can completely transform your sexual experience and sex life together. You’ll also hear the exact kind of compliments that actually build intimacy (hint: it’s not just about her looks), simple ways to check in before initiating touch, and how to create anticipation long before you’re in the bedroom.

And yes, I share one powerful sentence you can say right before intimacy that helps a woman relax, trust, and truly open to pleasure.

This isn’t about techniques or performance. It’s about presence, attunement, and making her feel safe enough to let go.

We explore:

• Why women are turned on mentally before they’re turned on physically

• The difference between spontaneous and responsive desire

• How emotional safety unlocks deeper arousal

• What compliments actually turn women on and why surface praise often misses the mark

• How to use “mental foreplay” to help her unwind instead of perform

• Subtle texts and energetic cues that build desire throughout the day

• One simple line that communicates trust, care, and connection before sex

If you’re ready to deepen intimacy and experience sex as truly connected and expansive, explore my free Quantum Sex course. It’s designed to help you elevate pleasure and create deeper emotional connection.

For a deeper dive, my book Sex Magic invites you to reimagine desire, intimacy, and self-worth, transforming sex into something conscious, sacred, and deeply nourishing. Sex should feel like coming home to yourself.

If these resonate, you may be navigating life as a highly sensitive person, an empath, or both.

In this episode of The Language of Love Conversations, I sit down with Dr. Judith Orloff, a UCLA-trained psychiatrist, empath, and New York Times bestselling author. Known as the "godmother of the empath movement," she beautifully bridges science, intuition, and energy medicine. Her acclaimed books include The Empath’s Survival Guide, The Genius of Empathy, Emotional Freedom, and her new children’s book, The Highly Sensitive Rabbit.

We explore what it truly means to be an empath (and how it differs from being highly sensitive), why empaths are frequently misdiagnosed with sensory processing disorder, and why this growing wave of sensitive souls is precisely what our world needs right now. Dr. Orloff shares her personal journey growing up in a medical family that dismissed her intuitive gifts and how she learned to honor them instead of suppressing them.

This empowering conversation covers practical tools to protect your energy, set heart-centered boundaries, and thrive without closing your heart. We discuss raising empathic children in an overwhelming world, the connection between unacknowledged sensitivity and issues like addiction or autoimmune conditions, and simple daily practices like breathwork, earthing, grounding, visualization, and energetic cord-cutting (when you're truly ready).

We dive deep into:

• The true meaning of being an empath vs. a highly sensitive person

• Different types of empaths and their unique experiences

• Why empaths are often misdiagnosed (with anxiety, depression, sensory processing issues, or physical illness)

• The profound gifts of empathy

• How emotional and physical energies get absorbed and how to release them

• Essential boundaries, grounding, and shielding techniques

• The power (and caution) of energetic cord-cutting

• Why there are more empaths today than ever before, including links to trauma and the rise of "adult-onset" empaths

• Raising empathic and highly sensitive children and why they need space to thrive

• How empathic children may soon lead the world

• Spotting empathic traits in kids (even though all children have some empathy)

• Coping with overwhelm through addictions vs. healthier self-care paths

• Empaths in relationships: avoiding love-bombing, narcissists, and learning to voice your needs

• Five essential daily practices to stay grounded as an empath

If you’re feeling drawn to Judith’s work, explore her classic The Empath’s Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People (with its invaluable self-assessment quiz) and her empowering new children’s book The Highly Sensitive Rabbit, a tender story to help young sensitive hearts feel seen and strong.

You’re still together, still functioning, still sharing a life, but something feels off. The conversations are. The connection feels thinner. And even though nothing is “wrong,” you miss the closeness you used to feel.

In this Language of Love Session, I answer a question from a listener who feels disconnected from her partner. They don’t fight, but they don’t really talk anymore either. Conversations feel polite and surface-level, and when she tries to go deeper, he shuts down or changes the subject.

I talk about why this kind of emotional distance is so common, especially in long-term relationships, and why trying harder to have the big conversation can sometimes create more distance instead of closeness. I also share what I’ve learned, both professionally and from raising boys, about how many men experience closeness, conversation, and emotional safety differently than women do.

In this session, I share:

• Why emotional distance can happen even when there’s no conflict

• How technology and distraction quietly interfere with connection

• Why face-to-face deep talks can feel overwhelming for some partners

• How side-by-side connection can open the door to better conversations

• The role play, lightness, and silliness can play in rebuilding closeness

• Why sex can sometimes lead to emotional intimacy, not the other way around

• How to rebuild connection before tackling the bigger relationship questions

This session is a reminder that connection often returns when there’s less pressure and more room to just be together again.

Don’t forget to visit my website and explore the resources there. They’re all designed to help you create deeper, more fulfilling love in your life. You can also take the free quiz, “What Do You Really Want in Love?” It’s a great way to get clear on what your heart’s truly looking for.

In this Language of Love Bite, we flip the script on low desire. I’m breaking down exactly why she’s not in the mood and how to shift that dynamic quickly, without pressure, manipulation, or guessing games. Because for most women, desire doesn’t disappear for no reason. It shuts down when her system doesn’t feel ready.

We explore:

• Why “I’m not in the mood” is rarely about sex itself and what it’s really signaling.

• The 3 things women need to feel to access desire (and what happens when one is missing).

• How true foreplay begins outside the bedroom, in everyday moments of appreciation.

• The exact words to use to initiate without pressure and create emotional safety.

• One transformative move to try when she says no.

In this Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with Jennifer Pastiloff, author and speaker, whose new book Proof of Life explores the powerful act of reclaiming permission to exist fully in your own body, voice, and life. After years of self-doubt, shame, and self-abandonment, Jennifer shares how healing began with learning to speak her truth out loud. We dive into Jennifer's journey of self-discovery, which was shaped by moments of struggle, loss, and personal awakening.

In this Conversation, we explore: 

• How to recognize your “inner asshole” and stop believing its lies

• Why speaking your truth out loud is where healing begins

• What “heart-sight” means and how to listen to it

• The trap of “when I get there, then I’ll be happy”

• How making bad art can actually set you free

• Why finding your “I got you” people changes everything

• The lesson grief teaches us about living now, not later

If you've ever struggled with shame or felt disconnected from yourself, this conversation is a beacon back home.

In this Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with therapist and relationship expert Jessica Baum, author of new book Safe, to explore why our love lives so often play out like déjà vu. Jessica takes us far beyond attachment labels like “anxious” or “avoidant.” She reveals how our parents’ nervous systems wire our own from infancy, shaping the way we connect, attach, and seek safety. Those early wounds often live in our bodies as sensation, surfacing later when a partner pulls away, rolls their eyes, or simply doesn’t show up the way we need.

If you’re ready to stop repeating old patterns, this episode is your first step.

We explore: 

• Why traditional attachment labels don't tell the whole story and what does.

• How to tell the difference between your "thinking" left brain and your "feeling" right brain.

• The surprising reason you keep attracting the same type of partner (and how to break the cycle).

• Why "triggers" are actually invitations for healing and how to reframe them.

• How memory is stored not just in your mind, but in your gut, heart, and muscles.

• What it truly means to heal in a relationship, and why you can't do it alone.

• The subtle signs your nervous system is scanning for to answer, "Are you with me?"

• A powerful, real-life example of rupture and repair between a parent and adult child.

• Practical steps to start creating safety within yourself and your relationships.

Remember to check out Jessica’s other books, including Anxiously Attached. And don’t forget to preorder your copy of Safe, coming out on October 28. It’s the manual your relationships have been missing. As a special gift for listeners, she’s offering free bonuses, including a deep-dive healing blueprint and a rare interview with her mentor.

In this Language of Love session, I respond to an anonymous listener who’s been with their partner for several years. The relationship checks all the boxes, but a nagging sense of absence lingers. Is it a red flag, or just fear keeping them from leaning all the way in?

In this session, we talk through:

• Why “something missing” can mean very different things, and how to tell which applies to you

• The hidden danger of making excuses for a partner’s shortcomings

• How unhealed wounds, depression, or anxiety can disguise themselves as relationship doubts

• Why the only way to experience real love is to risk heartbreak

If you’ve ever second-guessed your relationship and wondered whether it was intuition or insecurity talking, this conversation will speak directly to your heart.

And if this resonates with your own story, I’d love to hear from you. Email me at languageoflovepod@gmail.com, your experience could help others feel less alone.

In this  Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with psychic medium and spiritual teacher MaryAnn DiMarco to explore the unseen support surrounding us. MaryAnn shows how connecting with spirit guides isn’t reserved for the gifted; it’s something every single one of us can do. Talking with her feels like being handed a secret key to a whole new world, one where guidance shows up in the middle of everyday chaos, not just in moments of perfect stillness.

MaryAnn shares her own journey of learning to trust her intuition and explains how our guides, angels, and loved ones work together to support us. We dive into why so many of us feel blocked, how to tell the difference between our own thoughts and true guidance, and what happens when we finally stop forcing and start trusting the path that’s meant for us.

Here’s a sneak peek…

• The difference between guides, angels, and loved ones on the other side

• Why guidance often sounds like your own voice

• How to know when it’s intuition speaking or just fear

• What to do when life feels stuck or off-track

• How your guides can help you manifest what you want

• Ways to reconnect with loved ones who have passed

• The surprising role your guides play in healing old wounds

• Why you don’t need to be psychic to receive powerful guidance

Maybe you received messages growing up about what’s “appropriate” or things you witnessed that made you feel ashamed of your desires… I’ll walk you through how to start untangling those beliefs and embrace your sexuality with confidence.

I also talk about how to communicate your sexual needs with your partner, even when it feels awkward or cringey. It’s all about creating a safe space to have that conversation, and I’ll give you some tips on how to open up without feeling embarrassed or ashamed.

In this session, we’ll cover:

• Why sexual inhibitions often come from external sources, not you

• How to identify and release shame-based beliefs around sex

• How to start the conversation with your partner about trying new things in the bedroom

• How to communicate your desires in a positive, low-pressure way

You deserve to have the sex life you want, free of shame and judgment. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, learning how to talk about what you want and exploring your desires is key to a fulfilling, beautiful sex life.

If you have a question or want to share your story, I’d love to hear from you. You can always email me at languageoflovepod@gmail.com, and I’m here to support you as you learn how to love and be loved better.

You know that weird knot in your stomach when your partner doesn’t text back? Or that moment when, after an argument, you just totally shut down? What if I told you those little patterns don’t just mess with your relationship—they sneak into your sex life too?

In this Language of Love Bite, we’re getting real about something we all bring to the bedroom but almost never talk about: your attachment style.

I’m talking about how the way you love is literally the way you touch. Whether you’re anxious, avoidant, secure, or somewhere in between, those patterns show up in bed—and not always in ways you expect. This isn’t about slapping a label on you. It’s about freeing you. Because once you get what’s really going on, you can change the script—and finally experience the kind of intimacy your body and heart have been starving for.

Here’s what  uncover together:

• Why anxious attachment can make sex feel like a test you’re scared to fail—and why rejection hits like a gut punch.

• Why avoidant attachment might have you pulling away from closeness, even when you’re totally turned on.

• How disorganized attachment turns desire into a confusing, scary mix—often tied to old wounds you didn’t even realize were still there.

• What secure attachment really feels like—being safe, present, and emotionally connected during sex.

• And the one powerful question that reveals your true sexual attachment needs—and opens the door to healing

Whether you're over-giving in bed, emotionally checking out, or somewhere in the middle, this episode offers a mirror—and a map. Your patterns aren’t permanent. With awareness, your attachment style can evolve. And sex? It can become a space of deep healing, not just habit.

You just had sex… and now you feel worse." The bodies were close, the chemistry was there, maybe even fireworks. But now you're lying there, staring at the ceiling, wondering why do I feel so damn empty? Maybe there was  no emotional spark, just physical contact—and now you're caught in the afterglow of regret. You’re not broken. You’re not alone. And no, you’re not crazy for wanting more than just skin-on-skin.

In this episode of Language of Love Bite, we’re talking about lonely sex—why it happens, how to spot it, and how one honest sentence can shift everything. It’s raw. It’s real. And it might just save your next connection from becoming another ghost in your bed.

We're going deep on:

• Why sex doesn’t automatically equal intimacy – How physical closeness can still leave you feeling disconnected  

•  The “maintenance sex” trap – When sex becomes transactional (and why quickies aren’t the problem)  

• Why emotional foreplay matters – Especially for those with responsive desire or “feminine” energy  

•  How past trauma or dissociation can creep into the bedroom – Leaving you feeling alone even when you’re not  

•  The one sentence that can transform your connection – A simple invitation to bring hearts (not just bodies) closer  

Feeling disconnected even in a sexually active relationship? You’re not the only one.  Share your story: Email languageoflovepod@gmail.com—your experience could help someone else feel less alone.

What happens when the worst thing you can imagine… actually happens?

When Larry Carlat’s son, Rob, died by suicide, it shattered his world. Yet from that profound heartbreak emerged something unexpected: deep connection, renewed purpose, and a love more powerful than he ever imagined possible.

In this raw and deeply moving Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with Larry Carlat—writer, father, and an unexpected guide through grief. His book, A Space in the Heart: A Survival Guide for Grieving Parents, weaves memoir with grounded wisdom, offering solace not just for bereaved parents, but for anyone navigating the loss of a loved one.

But Larry isn't your typical grief expert. He didn't seek out groups. Spirituality wasn't his starting point. He wasn't even sure he believed in an afterlife—until grief cracked him wide open, leading to an extraordinary journey.

Together, we explore:

• Losing his son Rob—and the love that outlived him

• How Larry went from a “lone wolf” to grief coach, group leader, and friend to fellow grievers

• The healing magic of community, even for guys who never thought they’d talk about their feelings

• Psychedelic journeys and psychic mediums—how Larry reconnected with Rob on the other side

• Why grief is one of the most potent paths to spiritual awakening

• What men need (but rarely ask for) when they’re in pain—and how Larry is creating safe spaces for them to cry, connect, and heal

• The truth about guilt, shame, and the choice to live again—even after unimaginable loss

Larry’s story is a vital reminder: we don’t have to "move on" to move forward. Joy and sorrow can coexist. If you’re grieving or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers a beacon of hope and understanding.

If this episode speaks to your heart, there’s more support waiting for you.

A Space in the Heart: A Survival Guide for Grieving Parents is a powerful read for anyone navigating the impossible.

Have you ever looked across the room at your partner and thought, “When did we become roommates instead of lovers?” Maybe you’re still affectionate, still loving—but the sexual connection? Practically nonexistent. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

In fact, nearly 1 in 5 marriages are considered “sexless,” but that doesn’t mean your spark is gone for good.

In this Language of Love Bite, we’re diving deep into the real reasons couples stop being intimate—and exactly how to rebuild your sex life step-by-step, even if it’s been months (or years). By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly what to say to your partner—and how to start feeling sexy together again.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:

• The top 3 culprits behind sexless relationships (it’s not just stress!)

• Why emotional safety is the real aphrodisiac

• The exact words to use when you want to bring up the lack of sex—without it getting awkward

• The sensual (not sexual) ritual that jumpstarts physical intimacy without pressure

• A proven sex therapy technique called sensate focus that helps you reawaken desire

• The gentle roadmap from no sex… to next-level pleasure

If conversations feel too loaded, find a certified sex therapist via AASECT.

Love after trauma isn’t just about passion—it’s about patience. The quiet moments between kisses, the hesitation in a held hand, the unspoken fear that lingers in intimacy… These are the places where love is tested—and where it can be rebuilt.

In this Language of Love Session, we return to Brian and Stacey’s raw, unfolding story. If you’ve been with us, you know: this isn’t just about sex. It’s about two hearts trying to find safety in each other—while wrestling with the ghosts of their pasts.

(If you’re new here, make sure to listen to my past sessions with Brian and Stacy to learn about the heartache, the fights, the small victories that brought them here.)

So what happens when healing almost feels within reach? When the arguments soften, the warmth returns… and then—out of nowhere—the old pain rushes back in?

Here’s What You’ll Take Away:

• “I want to, but I can’t”—why this conflict is more common than we admit (and how to move through it)

• How childhood wounds whisper in adult intimacy—and how to quiet them

• When even loving touch feels like pressure—and how to rewrite that story

• Why watching porn together became a bridge, not a wall

• The moment a simple kiss became the bravest act of all

• How couples accidentally retraumatize each other—and how to stop

• The shift that helped Stacey reclaim her body—and her voice

• Why Brian is learning that patience isn’t passive—it’s love in action

That magical moment when you'll meet "The One"—the perfect partner who completes you, understands you effortlessly, and makes love feel easy forever. But what happens when the fairy tale doesn't come true? When the spark fades and you're left wondering: Did I choose wrong? Is my real soulmate still out there?

In this moving Language of Love Conversations, I sit down with Mark Walberg—not the Ted movie star, but the television host known for his charm, wit, and steady presence on hit shows like Antiques Roadshow and Temptation Island.  After watching this season of Temptation Island for the first time, I was stunned. Despite having no clinical training, Mark intuitively held space for confessions, breakdowns, and deep self reckonings,— guiding the cast through their fears, blind spots, and emotional blocks with incredible insight and timing. He was doing a better job than lots of therapists I know! I had to understand where that wisdom came from.

Mark didn’t disappoint.  In this Language of Love Conversation, he pulls back the curtain and shares his own journey, from the pressures of fame to the private unraveling that brought him to his knees, and eventually to a place of radical honesty. We talk about the fear of feeling, the cost of emotional suppression, and how it’s never too late to come home to yourself.

Here’s a sneak peek…

• The surprising lessons Mark learned about love while hosting Temptation Island

• How a successful career became a hiding place—and what it took to step out of it

• Why approval from the crowd can’t replace real connection

• The childhood wounds he carried into adulthood—and how he finally began to face them

• What happens when you stop numbing and start feeling

• The role his wife played in calling him back to himself

• How fatherhood cracked him open in the best (and hardest) ways

• Why vulnerability might just be the most courageous thing a man can offer

• The radical power of one honest conversation to change the entire energy of your relationship

• How your body speaks the truth before your mind is ready to hear it

• How shame keeps us silent—and how your truth can set not just you, but others, free

• Why having a guide who’s walked the hard path before you changes everything

• And why love that grows with you, not around you, is the rarest, richest love of all

In this episode of The Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with Lindsay Jill Roth, award-winning producer and author of Romances and Practicalities: A Love Story (Maybe Yours) in 250 Questions. 

Lindsay isn’t afraid to tackle the tough stuff. We dive deep into the role of religion in relationships, the stigma around dating divorced people, and why so many of us shut down love before it even has a chance to grow.

She also takes on a challenge so many career-driven women face—hitting their 40s, finally ready to settle down, only to realize that most of the men they’re meeting are already dads. How do you navigate that? How do you avoid getting stuck in this situation in the first place? And most importantly—how do you move forward without settling for something that isn’t right for you?

We’re diving into:

• Why so many people feel lost in love—even with endless advice at their fingertips
• The hidden ways we sabotage our relationships without realizing it
• How asking the right questions can transform how we connect with a partner
• The surprising link between communication and attraction (yes, talking can be sexy!)
•  Why those “butterflies” you feel might actually be a red flag
• The tough topics we avoid—like religion, divorce, and long-term compatibility
• Why we’re too quick to write people off early in relationships (and what we might be missing)
• How self-awareness and personal growth shape who we attract
• The key to building emotional safety, trust, and deeper intimacy

In this episode of Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with Jacob Cooper—author, therapist, and someone who’s experienced a life-changing near-death experience (NDE)—to explore how we can maintain this connection beyond the physical. Jacob’s story is incredible. At just three years old, he experienced an NDE due to whooping cough (Pertussis), and it completely reshaped his understanding of life, death, and the eternal nature of the soul.

Through his experience, Jacob has come to realize that our loved ones who have crossed over are still with us—watching over us, guiding us, and helping us grow. There’s no true separation between us and them; the bond remains, even in the afterlife. Jacob shares how, through surrender, we can tap into the spiritual wisdom and love that our departed loved ones send us from beyond.

In this conversation, Jacob also explores the role of past lives, the deep soul contracts we share with those we love, and how we can recognize and nurture relationships with our soul family—both here and on the other side. We also dive into the importance of living in the present moment, remembering that we’re eternally connected to love.

Here’s a preview of what we talk about:

• How Jacob’s NDE at three years old opened his eyes to the eternal nature of the soul
• How our departed loved ones continue to watch over us and send us messages from the other side
• The role of past lives and soul contracts in our current relationships
• How to feel the presence of your soul family and deepen these connections
• Why embracing the present moment helps us align with the boundless love of spirit

If you’re looking for more on this journey, Jacob’s books The Wisdom of Jacob’s Ladder and Life After Breath take you on a powerful exploration of his NDE and the wisdom he uncovered. It’s a beautiful reminder that death isn’t the end, and our loved ones are never really gone.

In this Language of Love session, I’m reconnecting with Carmen, a caller I advised on the show nearly two years! Time really does fly, doesn’t it?

Carmen has been on quite a journey since we last spoke. Remember when she was grappling with hiding her personal values from her partner and dealing with people-pleasing and codependency? It’s a struggle many of us can relate to, seeking validation from others while keeping parts of ourselves hidden. For Carmen, that meant concealing her spiritual beliefs from her partner—a recipe for tension in any relationship!

Fast forward to today, and Carmen’s life is buzzing with change. She’s moved to a new town with her partner, left her decade-long job, and embarked on a new career path. Quite a whirlwind, right? On top of that, her father, who struggles with alcoholism, is coming to visit.

In this session, we dive into these major transitions and explore how Carmen can stay true to herself amid it all. 

Let's delve into what we uncover:

• Carmen's journey of self-discovery and embracing her spirituality
• The impact of upbringing on self-expression and fear of judgment
• The power of self-acceptance and being authentic in personal growth
• The emotional rollercoaster of opening up and being vulnerable
• What "soul retrieval" is and how it heals past traumas
• Transitions in life and the associated fears and pressures
• How working with our inner child can ease fears and boost self-love
• Why a supportive environment is key for being vulnerable

I recommend Teal Swan’s book The Completion Process and her course on revisiting and healing those parts of ourselves we often resist—the inner child work, if you will. After all, the inner child is often the first step in spiritual awakening.

In this Language of Love Conversation, I’m joined by the amazing Dr. Judy Ho, a triple board-certified neuropsychologist and author of “The New Rules of Attachment.” Her book is full of insights into how our attachment styles shape, well, pretty much everything we do.

Attachment styles are essentially the blueprints that guide how we connect with others, pursue our dreams, and see ourselves. They influence everything from our love lives to our careers and even our self-perception. Dr. Judy breaks down the four main attachment styles and we chat about how they often have their roots in our childhood experiences.

We discuss:

• Why it is important to know your attachment style
• How negative self-talk is everywhere these days and what it's doing to our mental well-being
• The connection between always expecting the worst and your attachment style
• The influence of childhood experiences on attachment styles
• Strategies for healing and re-parenting oneself to develop a secure attachment
• The magic of self-compassion and why validating your feelings is key
• The impact of cultural expectations on women and the need for self-permission to prioritize their own needs
• The practice of embracing mistakes with humor and self-compassion

Remember to check out Dr. Judy's book, “The New Rules of Attachment!” Also, follow Dr. Judy on Instagram for insights and find free resources on her website. And as always, you can check out my books and courses that can help level-up your love life on my website.

What if instead of going through loss you could grow through it? 

What if you become a more self-actualized, tapped-in and tuned-in empowered version of yourself, because of what you’ve been through (not in spite of it)? 

What if love really lives forever and you can learn to continue a relationship with your loved ones on the other side? 

What if you didn’t have to go through terrible loss alone or struggle to find the right kind of support or community who understands? 

These are questions I couldn’t imagine having, much less answering over three years ago when my son Sammy was killed. Grief became my unwelcome companion, but strangely, it also became my greatest teacher. Healing from loss is messy, unpredictable, and deeply personal. Now, I'm on a mission fueled by passion—to help others like me find their own paths through grief and toward spiritual renewal. Join me as I share my story, the hard-won lessons, and how we can all navigate the stormy seas of grief with grace and resilience.

This is what we explore:

• The transformative power of allowing oneself to fully experience and process pain
• The interconnectedness of grief and spirituality
• The importance of embodiment, nature exposure, spirit connection, tribe, creative expression, and cognitive thinking in the grief healing journey
• The therapeutic value of creative expression and cognitive thinking in understanding the stages of grief
• My personal journey of grief and the resources and programs I offer for individuals seeking support and guidance

For those in need of more support and guidance, check out the Good Grief course on my website along with other resources and programs aimed at assisting individuals through their grief journey. Remember, grief is not merely a destination but a transformative journey.

In this Language of Love conversation, I have a heart-to-heart with therapist and author, Dene Logan. Dene’s new book, “Sovereign Love,” delves into finding the perfect mix of masculine and feminine energies in our relationships. We discuss the challenges of navigating societal expectations, especially for moms juggling responsibilities and managing dynamics within their relationships.

We explore the question of how we can lean on each other in love without losing ourselves and how we can work as a team with our partners to heal what isn’t working in love. It's all about getting to know yourself, embracing what makes us different, being real with each other, and keeping that spark alive while staying true to yourself.

We unpack:

• Reclaiming healthy masculine and feminine energies in love and partnership
• Balancing masculine and feminine energies in work and home life
• Societal norms and their impact on relationships
• Challenges faced by couples, particularly in the context of motherhood
• Embracing interdependence in relationships
• The vulnerability and authenticity that lies within communication

We delve into the details of their physical intimacy and sexual relationship. Ken opens up about his struggle with sexual energy and desire, which he feels is lacking, describing it as "flat." Although his testosterone levels have been normal in past tests, we get into how misleading the wide range of “normal” is, and how important it is to have results read by someone who’s really trained in anti-aging medicine and hormone therapy. I also cover the important role testosterone plays, not only for sexual desire but also for overall well-being, and we discuss various hormone replacement options.

Marla shares her perspective as well, and together we reflect on how Ken's recent retirement might be influencing his energy and motivation. I advise them to consult with a specialist in sexual medicine to address these concerns, with the hope of enhancing their relationship.

Here is what we explore:

• Importance of initiating physical intimacy in the relationship
• Emphasis on sensual and erotic touch to strengthen the connection
• Retirement and its impact on confidence and sense of purpose
• Testosterone therapy and its potential impact on sexual energy and general well-bein

Remember, the journey to rekindling intimacy is both personal and universal. Check out my website for books and courses like Quantum Sex to improve your sex life, along with many others.

Let's get one thing straight: the myths about what's considered "average" size are pervasive. I came across a study that really puts things into perspective—50% of men weren't happy with their size, yet a staggering 80% of women were actually content with their partner's size. This discrepancy shows that the pressure men feel is often internal and not based on the reality of their partners' satisfaction.

I want to caution you against making comparisons to what you see in pornography. Porn is not real life, and it's certainly not a benchmark for your own body. And when it comes to treatments that promise to increase size, please be wary. There are countless products and procedures out there, from penis extenders to surgery, but they come with limited benefits and significant risks.

I want to reassure you that in most cases, your size is more than adequate. What's truly important in a sexual relationship is technique and the emotional connection you share with your partner.

In this Language of Love Conversation, I’m sitting down with two remarkable guests. Joining me is  Mark Groves, a human connection specialist and founder of Create the Love, and Kylie McBeath, a certified health coach and host of the Journey Home podcast. Together, they form a powerhouse couple who have co-authored the book “Liberated Love.”

Mark and Kylie introduce us to the concept of liberated love, a term that encapsulates a commitment to truth, transparency, and honoring each other's individual paths in a relationship. This approach to love is about not trying to fix or control one another but rather supporting each other's growth and authenticity.

Their personal journey, which they candidly share, took them from a phase they refer to as relationship 1.0—a time marked by unconscious dynamics and codependency—to a transformative period they call the sacred pause. This mutual uncoupling allowed them to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, which eventually led them back to each other, ready to begin relationship 2.0, a renewed and more conscious partnership.

Here is what we unpack with Kylie and Mark:

• The concept of “liberated love” and its principles
• The significance of the “sacred pause” in relationships
• An exploration of codependency in relationships
• Recognition of blind spots and masks in relationships
• Self-awareness, healing from codependency, and personal growth before entering new relationships
• Intergenerational patterns and societal influences in shaping beliefs about relationships

Check out Liberated Love by Mark Groves and Kylie McBeath. Whether you're single, in a relationship, exploring a transition, or seeking growth, this book is for you. You can also find Mark on Create the Love and Kylie on Instagram for more inspiring content. Also, do not forget to check my website for more resources to take your intimacy to the next level.

As a sex and relationship therapist, I've seen firsthand how trauma can really shake the foundation of our self-worth and trust. We're talking about sexual trauma, physical trauma, emotional trauma, and those gut-wrenching experiences of rejection, humiliation, abandonment, and betrayal. Each one of these can leave scars that might not be visible to the eye but can be felt deeply in the heart.

I want to walk you through how these traumas can hinder us, and how they can make us put up walls where we should be building bridges. It's about understanding that when we're hurt, our instincts tell us to protect ourselves, sometimes to the point where we might push away the things we desire most – connection, intimacy, and love.

But here's the thing – and this is so important – healing is possible. I can't stress enough the value of trauma-informed therapy. Techniques like somatic experiencing can be game-changers, helping us to reconnect with our bodies and process those deep-seated emotions that we've been carrying around.

If you’re struggling, don’t hesitate to seek professional help. It's not a sign of weakness; it's a step towards recovery. And I want you to know that you're not alone in this. We're in it together, and I'm here to support you on your journey towards healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

In this Language of Love Conversation, I am thrilled to be joined by Sangita Patel, Canadian TV personality from Love and Translation, to discuss the complexities of finding love across language barriers. Love and Translation is a social experiment reality show where American men and women, who don't speak English, try to form connections without a common language.

We dive into:

• Nonverbal communication and cultural differences in relationships
• The impact of hormonal contraceptives on attraction
• Importance of maintaining emotional and physical connection in relationships
• Importance of communication and affection in relationships, and especially in parenting

For those who might have missed our previous episodes, I highly recommend going back and checking them out to get the full context of Ken and Marla's journey. It's been an enlightening experience, not just for them but for all of us listening in.

Now, picking up from where we left off last time, Marla was opening up about her struggles with a lack of sexual response, which she suspects might be linked to hormonal imbalances. And Ken has been dealing with low energy and sleep problems, which can certainly take a toll on intimacy.

I want to stress the significance of hormones in sexual health. They play such a crucial role, and it's important that we don't overlook them. It's not uncommon for sleep issues and low energy to be connected to hormonal imbalances, and identifying any issues there is vital for overall well-being and, by extension, Ken’s relationship with Marla.

Riz opens up about his own story, how he went from pushing away his psychic abilities to totally embracing (and yes rocking) them. He's all about embracing that sensitivity and the strength it brings. And me? I'm sharing some of my heartache and messages I’ve been receiving since loosing my son.

Plus, get this – In addition to a mediumship reading with some wild messages from my departed son, Sammy, Riz channeled a spirit named Red Eagle and I interviewed him!! I’ve never interviewed a spirit guide before. It was wild. He's passing on messages about the state of the world, how to move through these crazy times, and giving a sense of validation that was so comforting. Listen in, it's going to be an incredible show! 

In this episode, Riz (and Red Eagle) and I dive into:

• Understanding the limitations of human perception and processing of information
• The concept of suspending disbelief and being open to new ideas
• Why hope actually may work against you. 
• How to find joyful navigation through chaos
• Dealing with grief and finding meaning in loss
• Mediumship and channeling as tools for healing and connection with loved ones
• The power of sensitivity and self-expression
• Overcoming judgments and living authentically
• The transformative potential of navigating loss with grace

Be sure to connect with Riz on Instagram and his website to delve deeper into his work. You'll find a wealth of content and insights waiting for you.

Ken's been feeling super stressed and it's been hitting their intimacy hard. He's distracted, tired, and just not in the mood, which has been causing some tension between them. Marla, on her end, is experiencing PTSD symptoms in response to Ken’s anger, even though it’s not directed at her. This is not at all uncommon for those with a trauma background. But the dynamic is making her pull away and shut down emotionally. It's like they're stuck in this loop where they just keep triggering each other.

So, I suggest they try somatic experiencing therapy. It's a game-changer for understanding and dealing with trauma responses. And one big thing I emphasized was the need to separate their actions from their reactions. It's not easy, but it's so important for healing and moving forward together.

I'm confident that this session will not only provide you with a deeper understanding of the complexities of trauma in intimate relationships but also arm you with practical guidance to face similar challenges head-on. Remember to check out my recommended books The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma and Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma and let's keep growing together.

Keep pushing forward, and don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Here's to healing and growing stronger together!

Today, I want to share something deeply personal and universally relatable – the often-overlooked pain of friendship breakups. I totally get how losing a friend can feel just like you've lost a member of your family, and with everything going on with the pandemic, those feelings are even more intense.

I'm opening up about my own experiences with losing friends and I'm right here with you, guiding you through those complex emotions. We're going to talk about how to pick yourself up and build that resilience to move forward. It's all about looking inward, reflecting on the friendships we've had, and being brave enough to make new connections.

But here's a heads up – trying to get closure from that former friend might not be the best move. It can actually set you back on your healing journey. So, let's navigate this together and find our way to a place of peace and new beginnings. 

I talk about:

• Friendship breakups and grief that can bring 
• Impact of pandemic on friendship breakups
• Complex emotions during the grieving process

In this Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with Annie Särnblad, a global speaker and certified expert in the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), to learn all about the art of reading micro expressions. 

Annie's journey into the realm of facial expressions is as personal as it is professional. Stemming from a childhood marked by abuse, she developed a heightened sensitivity to non-verbal cues as a survival mechanism. This hyper-awareness evolved into a passion for understanding the subtle signals conveyed through our facial expressions, particularly microexpressions—those fleeting, involuntary movements that can betray our true feelings.

We break down:

• Annie's personal and professional background in understanding facial expressions, especially microexpressions
• The universality of facial expressions across different cultures and languages
• How to read micro expression to identify genuine emotions and building trust
• Physiological connections to facial expressions, such as the link between disgust and sense of smell
• Challenging misconceptions about empathy in individuals with autism
• The importance of cultural awareness and considering cultural variations in non-verbal communication
• The significance of non-verbal cues in creating authentic connections in various types of relationships

Check out Annie’s book “Diary of a Human Lie Detector: Facial Expressions in Love, Lust, and Lies.” You can also visit her website and follow her on LinkedIn and Instagram to learn more about her work.

This Language of Love Bite, I dive into the complex world of codependency, its roots, its effects on our relationships, and the path to healing. The origin of codependency can be traced back to traumatic childhood experiences, such as being raised by an addict, a narcissist, or enduring emotional or physical abuse. These early life challenges often lead to "parentification," where children assume the emotional and sometimes physical responsibilities of caring for their parents, setting the stage for codependent behaviors later in life.

Despite the challenges, I acknowledge the positive aspects of codependency, such as the innate desire to give and receive love. Join me in exploring these insights further and taking the steps toward healing and growth.

In this Bite, I explain:

• Codependency as an addiction and a lifetime of recovery
• The role of traumatic childhood experiences in developing codependency
• Codependents' fear of abandonment and susceptibility to toxic partners
• The struggle to discern authentic love from manipulation
• The positive and manipulative elements of codependency
• How to heal from codependency through inner child work and setting boundaries
• The challenges codependents may face when setting boundaries and standing up for themselves

Remember, if you're looking to enhance both your love life and sex life, whether you're in a relationship or not, I highly recommend checking out my free course on Quantum Sex. 

Additionally, if you're seeking to break free from codependency, there are some valuable resources I suggest exploring. Co-dependents Anonymous is a great program that can provide the guidance you need. Another excellent resource is Melodie Beattie's influential book, "Codependent No More." 

These resources can offer invaluable insights and support on your journey towards personal growth and independence.

I always tell people how crucial masturbation is for your personal health and really getting to know your body. It's a game-changer, especially for your sex life together. I've recommended a vibrator that I think could be a great fit for Marla, and I'm all about them experimenting to find out what feels good.

And it's not just about those intimate moments in the bedroom. Ken and Marla have been finding ways to connect in their everyday lives, which is just beautiful. They're on this path to achieving orgasm together during sex, and let me tell you, they're making some fantastic progress.
