Themes explored
Being single has its absolute high moments. And it can also feel like an endless hell when you’re finally done with it…but it just doesn’t go away no matter how hard you try. Or don’t try for that matter.
Because after all, as the adage goes, ‘when you just stop looking, it comes.’
But what if it doesn’t?
What if you look and look and look, because as others say, ‘It’s a numbers game.’ But love doesn’t ‘just happen.’
Then what?
Perhaps you get to the point that Shani Silver, humor essayist and podcaster did: ‘I had been dating fruitlessly for a full decade and there came a moment of absolute exhaustion. And it wasn't just exhaustion with dating or exhaustion with searching for someone, it was exhaustion with the frustration around those activities. I was tired of being tired of being single. It was enough.’
So Shani changed her view on being single as something other than a problem to fix at any cost.
She reframed the way she viewed and experienced her own singlehood, to increase her sense of self-worth and live her life at whole new levels of happiness, fulfillment and satisfaction.
In this podcast Shani and I discuss her book, A Single Revolution’, which spoke to me as a long-term single before meeting my partner Naz. And I am sure will speak to you.
Show notes:
How to reframe singlehood to increase your self worth
Understand how dating in its current form is serving you
And if not, what you can do instead
The shame of singlehood is damaging, especially to women
Reframe your life so that you feel empowered
Jealousy is something that can be shed
Fully embrace your own life and it’s unique timeline
See the gifts that come to you because of being single
Decide on who you want to be in the world and own it
Accepting the fantastic, custom-designed life that is yours
Know that you are whole and complete right now
Don’t wait for a partner to live the life exactly the way you want to
Live life fully now – being happy is a present-time choice

Join me as I explore the importance of boundaries in relationships and how they contribute to better sex, intimacy, and overall connection.In this episode, I define boundaries as guidelines that help others understand how to interact with us, emphasizing that honoring our own needs is a sign of self-respect.The fears and vulnerabilities associated with asserting boundaries are also explored, noting that well-practiced boundaries foster trust and deeper connections.The episode continues with a guided meditation to help listeners feel and practice both internal and external boundaries, promoting self-care, self-respect, and healthier relationships.During the practice, our listeners are guided to imagine a semi-permeable, golden shell surrounding them, symbolizing their boundaries.This shell allows them to control what emotions or energies enter their space while also containing their own strong emotions until they are ready to process them.
Join me as I dive deep with Michele Paradise, a trauma informed therapist and a relationship coach specializing in supporting people in intimate relationships with narcissists.From sex as performance to please you, to sex as transactional to placate you the trajectory that intimacy takes with a narcissist is similar to the one your intimate relationship as a whole will take. Michele shares insights about this trajectory including the dynamics of narcissistic relationships and the patterns of love bombing, devaluation, discard, and hoovering, and the impact on individuals involved.She discusses childhood experiences that may lead to narcissistic behaviors and the importance of awareness, acceptance, consciousness, and choice in healing and personal growth.Michele offers a 30-day awareness journal: https://findingparadise.gumroad.com/l/30-days-to-self-awarenessThis journal will help listeners build self-awareness and emphasizes the value of seeking support and community in the healing journey.Work with Andrea – Book in a 30 minute consultation:https://cal.com/andrealush/consultation-callContinue the conversation on Instahttps://www.instagram.com/andreabalboni_lush/You can connect with Michele here:https://www.facebook.com/micheleparadiseofficialhttps://www.instagram.com/micheleparadiseofficialhttps://www.youtube.com/@michparahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/micheleparadise/https://uk.pinterest.com/micheleparadiseofficial/Listen, Rate / Review us if you loved this.
Join me as I guide you through an embodiment practice designed to connect you with and explore your feminine side.Society and culture tends to value more masculine or yang forms of expression such as efficiency, productivity and focus to name a few. And so many of us feel well in touch with this aspect of ourselves.An over-emphasis on the masculine or yang, has lead to a de-valuing of the feminine or yin form of expression that is experienced as empathy, compassion, and collaboration, again to name only a few.And so this practice encourages embracing the feminine so that we can reconnect with the part of ourselves that is a different kind of strength than that of the masculine. By doing so we come to a greater sense of wholeness and we feel more alive and complete as a result.The practice, which takes the format of a meditation, involves envisioning oneself as a queen or goddess, defining her unique qualities, and then brining them into your day to day life by embodying them through the five senses.In doing so, you’ll cultivate self-love, confidence, and a deeper understanding of your feminine side.Work with Andrea – Book in a 30 minute consultation:https://cal.com/andrealush/consultation-callContinue the conversation on Instahttps://www.instagram.com/andreabalboni_lush/Listen, Rate / Review us if you loved this.

Join me as I share a body-based movement practice to help listeners shift from feeling stuck to experiencing flow, particularly in the realm of sex and intimacy.Inspired by life and leadership coach Tania Carriere, the practice involves recalling the feeling of stuckness, noticing the associated emotions and bodily sensations, and allowing the body to adopt a shape reflecting that stuckness.Through deepening into this shape and then slowly unravelling, listeners can release tension and move towards a state of flow and ultimately pleasure.Andrea guides listeners through the practice, encouraging them to reflect on their experience and connect with her for additional support if needed.Practice inspired by Tania Carriere at Advivum Journeyshttps://www.advivumjourneys.ca/Work with Andrea – Book in a 30 minute consultation:https://cal.com/andrealush/consultation-callContinue the conversation on Instahttps://www.instagram.com/andreabalboni_lush/Listen, Rate / Review us if you loved this.
Joining me today are two distinguished guests. First, we have Luisa Kos, a couples therapist operating out of southeast London. She harbours a profound passion for the evolution of contemporary relationships. Alongside Luisa is Suzanne Todd, a widely recognized family lawyer associated with Withers Law Firm since 1999. Not only does Suzanne lead the premier family law and trust and estate and inheritance teams at Withers, but she has also garnered attention, being tagged as a 'conscious uncoupler' in the prestigious Tatler Address Book.
In the heart of today's discourse is the concept of conscious uncoupling and its growing relevance in today's relationship landscape. We'll delve into what it means for married couples to separate in a considerate, compassionate and dignified manner. The discussion promises a unique insight into the confluence of therapeutic practices and legal procedures.
We look forward to gleaning insights from Suzanne, especially concerning the dynamic and ever-changing terrain of family law. She will share her first-hand experiences and learnings from cases she has helmed. It promises to be an enlightening exploration into the distinct challenges and gratifications of tackling divorce with a conscious approach.
We draw parallels between the realms of therapy and law, especially in navigating couples through the intricacies of separations and divorces. The shared interests of Andrea and Luisa in the modern relationship dynamics intersect with Suzanne's legal lens.
As we wrap up, it's essential to recognize the ever-evolving nature of relationships and the paramount importance of adapting to these shifts. We hope to inspire our listeners to approach matters of love and separation with heightened consciousness, unbridled respect, and deep-seated empathy.

Why are intimate relationships so intense?
Why is love so hard to find?
And once found so hard to keep?
And once kept so hard to survive, never mind thrive in?
From the disappointment of endless dating and constant swiping, to the destabilizing precariousness of early stage relationships, to the imminent frustration and tedious boredom of long term love.
We might begin to ask ourselves if intimate relationships are even worth it.
And then we remember what they promise.
If we could meet real love in a way that feels natural and easy, love that gives a sense of trust, safety and security in a challenging and ever changing world.
If we could feel the nourishment of deep, meaningful connection, and the richness and excitement of learning and growing together.
If we could experience the deliciousness of passion and the sparkle of erotic desire that adds so much aliveness and dimension to life
Then yes, we would answer that relationships are absolutely worth it.
But all of that is no small ask.
In this 3 part series on thriving in intimacy, we'll consider:
PT 1: FINDING LOVE
- What it takes to find love on or offline.
- How to meet your person in a way that feels natural and easy
- Dissolving the things from the past that keep us from meeting our person.
PT 2: KEEPING LOVE
- The delicate dance of closeness and distance in intimate relationships
- Preparing your body, heart, mind and soul for long-term love
- What ‘healthy’ looks like in intimate relationships
PT 3: THRIVING IN LOVE LONG-TERM
- The skills and tools needed to make love and passion last over time
- How self-awareness and self-knowing allow for healthy adult relating

In part 2 of Surviving Intimacy, we explore what it takes to keep love steady, especially in the early phases of relationship when we’re getting to know someone new.
I share a story about how one woman overcame her fear of intimacy and begin to date with confidence and joy – yes, even joy! – for the first time in her life.
And you’ll be left with some questions to sit with about what it is that would keep you, in love.
