What if grief is not something to get over, but something meant to open us? What if the pain you are carrying is not a sign of weakness, but a doorway into deeper love, truth, and healing? In this powerful episode of The Language of Love Conversation, I am joined by Bobbi Vogel, a psychic medium, clairvoyant healer, and soul guide, for a sacred conversation about grief, loss, and the unseen support surrounding us. We explore grief not as a problem to fix, but as medicine. An initiation that cracks us open so we can return to who we truly are. Bobbi shares what Spirit has been communicating about this moment in time, why so many souls are crossing over, how our loved ones continue to guide us, and why allowing grief, rather than bypassing it, is essential for both personal and collective healing. This episode includes live readings and deeply moving moments with grieving parents and loved ones, offering real-time insight into how connection continues beyond the physical body. Bobbi speaks candidly about spiritual bypassing, soul agreements, and why our loved ones on the other side are not who they were in human form, but wiser, expanded guides devoted to our healing. We explore:  Why grief is sacred medicine and how it opens us to healing The danger of spiritual bypassing and turning pain into purpose too soon How our loved ones continue to support us from the other side What souls do after they leave the body and how roles reverse Collective grief and why personal healing serves the whole How to ask your loved ones for help and guidance Twin souls, soul agreements, and unfinished business Why grief brings us back to earlier wounds and how to heal them If you are grieving the loss of a child, partner, parent, or loved one, or if you are carrying grief that goes beyond death, this conversation offers validation, compassion, and a reminder that you are not alone.

What happens when your partner is kind, loyal, and on paper seems like everything you should want, yet deep down, you feel unseen? 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. You can email me at languageoflovepod@gmail.com to share your question for a future episode. For additional support, I encourage you to explore other helpful resources, including The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman, which offers insight into how we give and receive love differently.

Do you know the brain is a woman’s main sexual organ? So how do you unlock her mind before you try to turn on her body? Because even when everything seems “right,” she still might not be in the mood.  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. You can also take the free quiz on my website to uncover what may be blocking intimacy and explore 7 Days to Better Sex to start actively creating the passion and connection you desire.

Do you leave social gatherings feeling utterly drained, as if you've absorbed everyone else's stress, sadness, or tension? Do you find yourself constantly over-helping or trying to "fix" others, only to end up exhausted? Or do everyday stimuli like bright lights, loud noises, or scratchy fabrics overwhelm you in ways others simply don't understand? 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.

Sometimes relationships don’t fall apart, they just grow quiet. 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.

When your partner says she’s “just not in the mood,” it’s easy to hear it as rejection. But what if it’s not about you at all? What if “not in the mood” is actually a signal about what’s missing long before you ever get to the bedroom? 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. If this episode gives you a new perspective, make sure to follow the Language of Love podcast  on your favorite podcast platform.

In this special Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with Libby Ingram, a speech therapist, grieving mother, and a central voice from the groundbreaking podcast The Telepathy Tapes. Libby shares the extraordinary story of her son, John Paul, a non-speaking autistic man with a genius level intellect, a deep telepathic connection to his peers, and a mission that continued even after his physical passing. Together, we step into the world of spellers, non speaking individuals who use letter boards to communicate. Libby helps us see a reality where these souls are not disabled, but differently abled, operating from a place of deep spiritual awareness. She describes how John Paul and his friends met daily on “The Hill,” a metaphysical gathering place where they shared knowledge and prepared for a purpose the world had not yet caught up to. Libby also talks about the ways communication never stopped, through numbers, songs, red roses of protection, and even a life saving pause at a traffic light. Her story reminds us that grief and joy are not opposites. They walk side by side, with our loved ones still very much present, cheering us toward life. We explore: What The Telepathy Tapes reveal when told through a mother’s lived experience How spelling unlocks intelligence hidden behind motor and sensory challenges Why non-speaking autistic children are deeply aware, connected, and conscious The metaphysical meeting place known as “The Hill” and how children connect there What telepathy looks like when it’s lived, not theorized How connection continues after death through signs, numbers, and symbols Why certain messages from loved ones arrive again and again How signs before a passing only make sense once you look back What it means to hold grief and joy at the same time without betraying love Why death doesn’t end love, it changes how love speaks Remember to explore the full depth of this story by listening to The Telepathy Tapes podcast, and connect with Libby on Instagram or through her community for resources on spelling and communication methods.

Most men don’t realize that the biggest mistake they make in bed has nothing to do with size, stamina, or technique. It is something far simpler and far more powerful. And it is the one mistake that quietly turns a woman off, shuts her body down, and keeps you from being the lover she dreams about. In this Language of Love Bite, I break down the number one mistake men make in bed and how to fix it starting tonight. It is the difference between sex that feels rushed, mechanical, or pressured, and sex that feels electric, safe, intimate, and unforgettable. You will learn why focusing on performance instead of connection sends a woman into her head, why she stiffens or pulls back even when you are doing everything right, and how presence rather than perfection is what actually turns her on. I share what women truly crave: a man who is tuned into her breath, her body, her pace, and her emotional temperature, not someone who is trying to win at sex. I reveal how slowing down, literally cutting your rhythm and your touch in half, becomes the most erotic reset you can offer her. You will learn why softer warm-up touch ignites trust in her nervous system and how one simple question, What kind of touch do you want tonight?, instantly boosts her desire. We explore: Why performance pressure shuts her body down How connection rather than technique predicts her satisfaction The micro cues in her breath, sounds, and movement that guide you The dance between slowing down, tuning in, and following her lead Why safety opens her body more than any bedroom move The exact warm-up touches that turn on her nervous system The simple after sex shift that makes her feel cherished How the way you stay afterward matters more than how you move during sex And at the end, I share the bonus tip most men never think about. The post-sex moment that tells her, without a single word, that this was not just sex. It was connection. That is the moment she remembers. That is the moment she comes back for.

Why does intuition feel normal, but psychic still makes people squirm? Why are so many of us feeling more sensitive, more aware, more affected by the world than ever before? Something is shifting. People aren’t just asking for answers anymore. They’re asking about their soul, their abilities, their inner knowing. Is consciousness changing, or are we finally paying attention? In this episode of Language of Love, I sit down with John Holland, one of the most respected psychic mediums of our time and a true pioneer in spiritual communication. For more than three decades, John has helped people understand intuition, mediumship, and the ongoing relationship we continue to have with our loved ones after physical death. We talk about how human consciousness is changing and why people are no longer just seeking answers about the future. More and more, we are asking questions about our soul, our purpose, and our own intuitive abilities. John has a beautiful way of making these experiences feel grounded and accessible, while still honoring how sacred they are. We also talk openly about grief, including the loss of a child, shared death experiences, and deathbed visions. John explains why no one ever crosses over alone and how communication does not end when the body dies. It simply changes form. Signs, synchronicities, numbers, sensations, and quiet knowings become the new language of love. John shares why mediums are not meant to be a permanent bridge, but more like a jumper cable. They help us remember that every one of us has the ability to access guidance, connection, and love from the other side. At the end of the episode, he offers five simple and practical ways to strengthen your intuition, tools you can begin using right away to trust what you feel and sense. This conversation is both comforting and empowering. It is a reminder that grief does not disconnect us from love, and intuition is not something we have to learn. It is something we remember. We explore: Why intuition and psychic ability are natural to all of us How and why collective consciousness is changing. The difference between intuition, psychic ability, and mediumship How loved ones communicate after death through signs and synchronicities Shared death experiences and deathbed visions explained Why no one ever transitions alone How grief softens when we understand the soul continues The role of mediums and why you do not need one forever How sensitivity can be both a gift and something to learn how to manage Five ways to strengthen your intuitive connection Why love does not end with death, it changes how it speaks Remember, your intuition is simply the language your soul uses to speak to you. If you feel called to explore and develop those gifts more deeply, you can dive into John’s books, including The Psychic Navigator, or join his intimate Soul Community. You can also connect with John on his Website or Instagram to stay up to date with his work. And if you’re walking a path of grief or healing, you don’t have to do it alone.

Have you ever gone through a breakup so painful it made you question who you even are? The kind that leaves you replaying every moment, wondering what went wrong, and feeling like a stranger in your own skin? When love ends and your identity goes with it, how do you start again? In this Language of Love session, I answer a heartfelt question from Heather, who writes in after a devastating breakup that shattered her sense of self. She’s stuck in a loop of rumination and regret, trying to figure out how to stop looking back and begin moving forward. We talk about how some breakups don’t just end relationships; they awaken old pain that’s been waiting beneath the surface. I explain why trauma “loves an open door,” how grief and loss can resurface long after we think we’ve healed, and why true recovery starts with rediscovering who you are beyond anyone else. We dive into:  How old trauma gets triggered by new loss The difference between self-esteem and self-worth Why your sense of self must come from within, not from your partner The power of trauma-informed therapy in heartbreak recovery What the Runaway Bride movie can teach us about self-discovery How to figure out “what kind of eggs you like,” literally and metaphorically Why being centered in your worth changes who and what you attract How heartbreak can become the doorway to your most authentic self If you’ve ever lost yourself in love, this episode will remind you that healing isn’t about finding someone new; it’s about finding you. 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.

Did you know you can make a woman crave you without saying a single word? Really so much of attraction has nothing to do with pickup lines, fancy outfits, or trying too hard. It’s your presence. Your energy. Your body language. It’s the way you walk into a room and the way you feel in your own skin. Confidence speaks long before your mouth ever does. In this Language of Love Bite, I reveal how to make a woman crave you without saying a word. This is not about pickup tricks or performance. It is about the deeper masculine signals a woman feels the moment you enter a room. From the way you breathe to the way you hold your posture and your gaze, these subtle shifts create desire without effort. You will learn how breath grounds your confidence, how stillness becomes a turn on, how eye contact creates micro tension, and the one shift almost no man knows that instantly makes you more magnetic. You will also learn how to flirt without touching her at all by using mirroring, energy projection, and true presence. I explore: The way women sense your energy before they ever look at you How slow, grounded breathing signals calm confidence and inner control Why moving with stillness pulls her in more than trying to impress The one second eye contact rule that builds tension she feels in her body How to flirt without touching her through subconscious mirroring The power of filling the space between you with sensual energy How chasing weakens attraction while presence strengthens it The subtle embodiment shift that makes her crave you without a single word The secret is simple. When you are fully in your body, she feels safe, seen, and drawn in. Presence is the most erotic language a man can speak without ever using his voice.

Why is it that the person you love most can also trigger the fears you thought you left behind? What if your partner’s most irritating habit isn’t really about them at all, but a faint echo from your childhood still asking to be healed? And what if that same repetitive fight about laundry or tone of voice isn’t a sign something’s wrong but actually a sacred doorway, a classroom, for your deepest growth? In this episode of The Language of Love Conversations, I sit down with Dr. Alexandra Solomon, clinical psychologist, Northwestern professor, author of Taking Sexy Back, host of the Reimagining Love Podcast, and the beloved voice behind Relational Self-Awareness. As two “talking doctors” who have been married for a combined 52 years, we ditch the theory and dive straight into the real, messy, sacred work of modern love. We explore why today’s relationships demand so much more from us than past generations ever had to navigate, and why true intimacy now requires a “soul to soul” connection rooted in deep self-awareness.  We also delve into:  The surprising reason relational self awareness is the real heartbeat of modern love How childhood wounds secretly script your adult conflicts without you knowing Whether some healing must happen alone or can truly happen inside the relationship How to tell when it’s a trigger… and when it’s genuine emotional danger What to do when a partner can name their wounds but refuses to change the pattern The exact moment your trigger gets activated and how to catch it in real time The hidden story your emotional pain is trying to tell you Why tone is often louder than words and how it shapes safety Alexandra’s go to regulation tools for coming back to calm fast How shorter, slower conversations create deeper intimacy The power of conscious pauses to stop spirals before they start How to truly witness your partner’s feelings so they feel seen and safe Why certain tones feel like danger and how to talk about it without blame Fast, body based tools to steady your nervous system in the middle of conflict How to offer a real, repair focused apology that actually rebuilds trust What it really means to be a relational leader and how to step into that role Alexandra’s five micro moments that instantly strengthen connection and bonding Remember to check out her groundbreaking book, Taking Sexy Back, for a deeper dive into moving from performance to presence in love and life.

When someone you love dies, people tell you to “move on,” but what does that even mean? How do you move forward when your heart still feels stuck in yesterday?  In this Language of Love session, I answer a question from Susan, who lost her partner a year ago and still feels like she’s just going through the motions. We talk about why grief has no timeline, why some hearts feel it more deeply than others, and how to begin healing not by letting go, but by learning to hold love differently. Because grief isn’t something to get over, it’s something to move through. We explore:  Why there’s no “right time” to stop grieving How to move through pain without getting lost in it Why feeling your feelings is the only way to release them The six pillars of grief healing and how they can support you in your journey Why your loved one’s energy never disappears, it simply changes form How to stay connected to someone you’ve lost through love, not longing What it means to become a more awakened version of yourself through grief If you’ve ever felt pressure to “get over it,” this episode will remind you that healing is not about forgetting. It’s about remembering differently. Remember to visit my website and explore The Grief Healing Collective, a community designed to support your healing with resources, practices, and connection.

Why is it that some men leave an imprint on a woman’s body, her heart, her energy, her memory, and sometimes even her soul… while others are forgotten by morning? What if the only difference is that the unforgettable ones have mastered powerful sex magic secrets, not the basic bedroom tips everyone already knows? In this Language of Love Bite, I dive into sex magic, not porn magic, not pickup tricks, but the real energetic, emotional, spiritual practices that turn sex from mechanical into magnetic. I break down the five sex magic secrets that give you more control, more depth, and more connection than any technique ever could. From breathing that expands your arousal instead of cutting it short, to intention-based touch that opens her body and her trust, to the one move most men skip that opens her body and her soul like nothing else. You really can’t afford to miss that bonus move. I explore: Why sex isn’t just an activity but an energetic transaction that imprints you on her body, mind, and memory The shocking reason you should stop “releasing” your orgasm energy/sperms  aimlessly  and start harnessing it like fuel How circulating your sexual energy turns you into the man who feels powerful, magnetic, and impossible to forget Why presence is the real aphrodisiac and how women can sense it before you even touch them How your breath secretly controls your arousal, your stamina, and the depth of the connection The hidden power of intentional touch that opens her body and unlocks her trust Why orgasm isn’t the finish line but a doorway to deeper pleasure, insight, and intimacy The heart to heart connection move she will never forget and the one most men don’t even know exists Let me know in the comments which one of these secrets you are trying first.

In this episode of The Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with theologian and author Meggan Watterson, whose books Mary Magdalene Revealed and The Girl Who Baptized Herself have transformed the way countless people understand Christ, the Divine Feminine, and their own inherent worthiness. Meggan opens up about her own spiritual journey as a child, having profound experiences of divine love that her secular, feminist upbringing couldn't explain. She shares how her first encounter with the traditional New Testament literally made her break out in hives, a visceral reaction to the missing feminine essence she intuitively knew belonged there. We explore the Gospel of Mary Magdalene and the Acts of Paul and Thecla, texts that were deliberately excluded from the Bible, and how they reveal a Christianity that was originally subversive, egalitarian, and empowering for women. Meggan explains how these texts teach us that heaven isn't a destination after death, but a state we can access now, in these very bodies. We get into the beautiful, practical concept of the "mind of the heart" or the "spiritual eye of the heart," the internal compass that guides us to our truth when the thinking mind fails. Meggan shares a simple, powerful "three breaths" practice that anyone can use to access this inner wisdom, even in the busiest moments of life. We explore:  How patriarchal erasure shaped our spiritual inheritance and why reclaiming feminine texts matters The radical teachings of the Gospel of Mary and why Jesus chose to reveal them to a woman Thecla’s story and why her three days of silence mirror a modern spiritual awakening The difference between the inner critic and the authentic voice of the soul Why our worth is inherent, not earned How childhood wounds shape our patterns of choosing unavailable love The seven stages of spiritual transformation and how they unfold in real life What it means to embody divine love in the physical body How to access the mind of the heart and connect with the Beloved within The simple three-breath practice that anyone can use to return to their inner truth Remember to check out her latest book, The Girl Who Baptized Herself, a profound reimagining of Thecla’s hidden gospel.You can also explore Mary Magdalene Revealed to discover the seven powers and the heart-centered teachings Jesus entrusted to Mary.

Are you worried and feeling tension in your bedroom because of very different sex drives? You want to address it, but the last thing you want is for either of you to feel rejected or pressured. How do you solve uneven desire?  In this Language of Love session, I answer a question from Ashley, who writes in about her and her partner’s very different sex drives. It’s one of the most common struggles I see in couples, and one that can actually bring you closer when you understand what’s really going on. We talk about why sex drive naturally changes over time, how the early infatuation stage gives way to the sweeter (but calmer) attachment phase, and what it takes to keep intimacy alive when spontaneous horniness disappears. Because it’s not about waiting for fireworks, it’s about choosing connection. We explore:  Why almost every couple experiences uneven desire at some point What really happens when the infatuation phase fades How to source desire from connection, not just horniness Why scheduling sex doesn’t make it mechanical, it makes it happen How hormones, stress, and medical issues can quietly affect libido Why quickies count (and how to make them meaningful) When to see a sex therapist and why earlier is always better How to rebuild closeness before addressing the “sex part” Why trauma changes the approach to intimacy and how to honor that The simple truth: sex is the glue that keeps romantic love feeling alive If you’ve ever wondered how to keep desire alive when you and your partner aren’t on the same page, this episode is your gentle reminder that it’s not about doing more. It’s about being more open, more aware, and more intentional.

So many guys think they have manual stimulation all figured out, but most are still doing it in a way that leaves her less than thrilled. The truth is, manual stimulation is not just a warm-up before penetration. When you know how to use your hands or her hands with the right rhythm and presence, it can be one of the most powerful ways to give her mind-blowing pleasure. In this Language of Love Bite, I am breaking down exactly how to take fingering from awkward to amazing. We will talk about the build-up most men skip, how to find and stimulate the clitoris and G-spot without rushing, and the one golden rule that will completely change the way she experiences your touch. Plus, I will give you a simple rhythm-training exercise you can practice at home that makes your hands smoother, steadier, and way more confident in bed. We cover: The biggest mistakes men make when fingering (and how to avoid them) Why slowing down makes everything hotter How to sync clitoral and G-spot stimulation for maximum impact The golden rule of fingering that most men forget A finger rhythm exercise you can try tonight to instantly improve your touch It’s not just about technique.

What if being a “good partner” has been quietly costing you your aliveness? We’ve been taught to shrink, to please, to perfect, to wear the mask of goodness so well that we forget what it feels like to truly be. We keep trying to be the “good partner,” the perfect child, the devoted spouse, the reliable coworker, all while losing touch with the fire that makes us feel alive. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Elise Loehnen, author of Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness, to explore how centuries of conditioning have shaped women into believing their worth depends on how selfless, small, and compliant they can be. Elise’s work builds on the success of her bestseller On Our Best Behavior, but this time she offers a guide for transformation that takes you from awareness to real, embodied change. We dive deep into shadow work and the ways women unconsciously inherit narratives that limit their freedom, from “I shouldn’t need help” to “I’ll only be loved if I make life easy for everyone else.” Together, we explore how to spot these stories, name them, and finally release them. We explore: Why being “good” often means abandoning your true self How inherited stories from culture and family silently shape your choices The difference between worth and value and why it changes everything What the “core process” reveals about fear, control, and the desire to be needed How to distinguish facts from stories and reclaim your power The real currency of abundance and how to break free from scarcity thinking How to recognize your personas, from the overfunctioner to the pleaser, and set them free Why self-care isn’t indulgent but sacred maintenance for your aliveness Remember to check out Elise’s new book Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness: A Process for Reclaiming Your Full Self.

When was the last time you felt completely alive with your partner, not because of what you did, but because of how connected you felt? No new toys, no faraway trips, no clever tricks. Just presence. Just energy. Just the spark that comes from truly seeing and being seen. In this Language of Love Session, I sit down with Rachel, a listener and student of Sex Magic, who joined one of my live events in New Jersey and left with a notebook full of questions and a heart full of curiosity. Together, we explore what really fuels passion after the honeymoon fades. It’s not dopamine or novelty, but the deeper vibrational energy that connects two people soul to soul. We explore:  Why true intimacy starts with awareness, not more techniques How to tell the difference between dopamine-fueled excitement and deep energetic connection How curiosity can dissolve judgment and open your heart wider What to do when one partner feels the energy instantly and the other doesn’t (yet) How to hold your vibration without taking on someone else’s emotions The concept of the Quantum Love Map and its relevance to vibrational matching Why we attract emotionally heavy people and how to stop being their anchor How raising your frequency naturally transforms your relationships Simple Sex Magic practices to clarify desire and realign with what you truly want The importance of being in a high energetic state during sex to enhance the manifestation process. This conversation is for anyone who’s ever looked at their partner and wondered, Can we ever feel that spark again? The answer is yes, but it doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from being more: more present, more attuned, more alive. Passion never really dies; it just waits for you to come back home to your body, your energy, and your heart.

Let’s be honest, every long-term relationship has seasons where sex gets pushed aside. Between changing bodies, kids, work stress, money stress, and just plain exhaustion, months can slip into years without intimacy. So what do you do when you want sex again, but it feels awkward, foreign, or even impossible to bring up? In this Language of Love Bite, I walk you through how to gently break the silence, rebuild emotional closeness, and take small but powerful steps back into an erotic connection with your partner. You will see that reigniting passion is not about pressure or performance, it is about safety, communication, and rediscovering each other in a playful, sensual way. We discuss: Why passion fades in long-term relationships (and how resentment sneaks in) The role of emotional safety and non-sexual touch in reawakening desire How to use “sensate focus” to rebuild intimacy step by step The surprising power of non-demand kissing to spark erotic energy A sensual awakening ritual you can try tonight to gently reignite connection When and how to seek support from a certified sex therapist (AASECT.org) Desire is never truly gone, it is just waiting for permission to return.
