The Language of Love

What does it mean to wait for love—not out of fear, but from deep, spiritual conviction? In this extraordinary Language of Love Conversation, we meet Sohale—a man who, at 32, has never been physically intimate with another person. Not because he's afraid of love, but because he reveres it. For Sohale, sex isn't casual—it's sacred. A union of energy, soul, and spirit. And he's been saving himself for that. But the story doesn't begin (or end) there. It started in childhood—with a mystical calling, a boundary-crossing pediatrician, and a little boy who learned to transform trauma into prayer. And it continues today—as Sohale navigates the modern dating world with ancient longing, tantric wisdom, and unwavering faith that the right soul will meet him where he stands. Here's What We Cover: How a sexually abusive pediatric exam shaped Sohale's sensuality—and his lifelong relationship with spirit How Sohale discovered fusing  sexual energy with prayer from a young age How gratitude (and a simple email trick) became the emotional lifeline in his darkest hours The unexpected power of tantric self-practice—and how it helped him heal What it means to look for a partner not just with a body, but with a soul attuned to divinity Try Sohale's Soul app—where spontaneous gratitude meets spiritual practice. Whether you're drawn to Sufism, Tantra, Kabbalah, or Kriya Yoga, there's a 30-day soul path waiting for you. Use code: 30DaysOnMe at https://www.bringsoul.life/ Got thoughts? Stories?

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 Want to feel safe in your own skin—and in your partner's arms? Start with my free quiz and then delve into 7 Days to Better Sex. If you're navigating deeper wounds, explore EMDR therapy or dive into the Drama Triangle—because real love shouldn't reopen old scars. Your story isn't over. In fact, the most healing chapters may be just ahead. Questions or thoughts? I'd love to hear from you: languageoflovepod@gmail.com And if this episode moved you, share it.

What if the role you've played your whole life—the one that made people love you, trust you, applaud you—was actually the thing keeping you from yourself? 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 Remember to follow Mark Walberg's continuing story on his website and socials.

What happens when your world falls apart—and you're left standing in the wreckage, asking, “Who am I now?”  In this moving Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with the wise and radiant Devi Brown to talk about grief, trauma, surrender, and the surprising strength we find in our most broken moments. Devi shares how a series of devastating events—including the death of a dear friend, the end of her marriage, and the unraveling of long-held identities—sent her into a deep spiritual reckoning during the pandemic. Yet what emerged was a new, more rooted version of herself, one anchored in faith, self-worth, and radical presence. Devi opens up about how she learned to stop resisting pain and instead, soften into it—finding not only healing, but beauty and transformation. We talk about faith (even when you're not sure what you believe), the difference between self-worth and self-esteem, and why it's okay (and necessary!) to fall apart. She also shares tools from her new book Living in Wisdom, including daily practices to reconnect with your body, spirit, and sense of purpose, even in the depths of sorrow. Here's what we explore: Why trauma often comes in layers—and how grief can open the door to deeper healing. The difference between surrender and giving up. What it means to have a relationship with God (even if you weren't raised with one). How to recognize the sacred in everyday “tiny joys.” The difference between self-esteem and true self-worth. How meditation can help you move through pain and connect with divine guidance. The practical power of mudras, breathwork, and daily ritual to restore your soul. Why being present with your pain increases your capacity for joy. You can connect with Devi on her website or LinkedIn, and don't forget to grab a copy of her book Living in Wisdom for even more insights and inspiration.

How do you move forward when trust shatters in an instant? When the person who vowed to stand by you crosses a line that feels impossible to uncross? Here we are with another Language of Love session as I connect with Chelsea, a listener navigating the aftermath of her husband's infidelity. Chelsea's husband confessed to drunkenly making out with another woman at a bachelor party a year ago. Since then, he's been attending therapy, practicing radical transparency, and working to rebuild trust. Yet Chelsea still struggles with obsessive thoughts: Will I ever truly move past this? In this session, we deep dive into: Why betrayal cuts so deep and how a single act of infidelity can trigger old wounds from past relationships or childhood How to create a level of  transparency that is crucial in rebuilding trust The "continuum of cheating" and its implications How our bodies can tell us the truth before our minds catch up If Chelsea's story resonates with you - if you're navigating the painful aftermath of betrayal or struggling to rebuild trust - we want to hear from you.

The "work spouse" dilemma – why is this modern trend causing so much tension in relationships? You've likely heard the term before… It's that coworker who knows your partner's schedule better than you do, the one who grabs a meal with your partner before a big meeting, or the person your partner vents to when work gets overwhelming.  In this episode of Language of Love Session , I dive into a listener's question about this emotionally charged topic: the concept of a "work wife" or "work husband." Heather, one of our listeners, shares her discomfort with her husband calling a female coworker his "work wife," even though their relationship appears purely professional. Heather finds herself torn between feeling overly sensitive and wanting to protect the trust and boundaries in her marriage. Here's what we'll dive into: Why titles like "work wife" can carry ah emotional weight—and why they can actually be a threat to your relationship. How to validate feelings of jealousy or insecurity without letting them take over. The importance of open, honest communication when addressing sensitive topics. Practical strategies for expressing your feelings without placing blame or creating defensiveness. The emotional risks of developing close workplace friendships—and how to maintain healthy boundaries.

How many times have we overlooked the little moments that make our relationship special? The gentle touches, the inside jokes, the quiet ways our partner shows they care. It's so easy to focus on what's missing that we forget to appreciate what's already there. But here's the secret: gratitude isn't just a feel-good idea—it's a powerful force that can reignite passion, deepen your connection, and completely transform your love life. In this Language of Love Bite, I pull back the curtain on how gratitude works like a love potion for your relationship. I show you how a simple “thank you” releases oxytocin—the bonding hormone—and creates a ripple effect of connection, intimacy, and yes, even better sex. Plus, I share a game-changing daily practice and a heartfelt exercise that leaves your partner feeling seen, cherished, and deeply loved. We uncover: Why gratitude is the ultimate aphrodisiac (yes, really!) How focusing on the good stuff can rewrite your relationship story A simple, daily gratitude hack that takes less than a minute but works like magic The power of gratitude dates—and how they can bring back the butterflies A heartfelt exercise: writing a love letter that will leave your partner speechless And if you're ready to take your love life to the next level, I've got something special for you.

Is your hesitation—your fear of being fully seen—actually keeping you from the deep, lasting connection you crave? 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 Want more from Lindsay?

Are you stuck in the same argument over and over again? It starts with something small—an offhand comment, a last-minute plan, or a simple misunderstanding. Before you know it, you're in yet another argument, saying things you don't mean, feeling unheard, and wondering, how did we get here again? In this episode of The Language of Love Session, we check in with Brian and Stacey, a couple who love each other deeply but keep getting stuck in frustrating fights. Their latest? A basketball game invitation that—on the surface—seemed harmless. But for Stacey, it wasn't just about the game. It was about priorities, commitment, and feeling like she mattered. Here's where things got messy: Brian had already skipped their usual weekly sporting activity together. So when he jumped at the chance to go out with a friend instead, Stacey felt like she was coming in second. A simple, innocent decision spiraled into yet another heated argument. But here's the real issue—it wasn't about basketball. It was about unspoken fears, emotional triggers, and the stories we tell ourselves when we feel hurt. In this episode, we're breaking it all down: Why small decisions can feel like big betrayal How unspoken fears and insecurities sneak into your conversations and turn them into battles The power of pausing before you react  How to recognize when you're stuck in the Drama Triangle—and what to do about it The art of making your partner feel heard without silencing your own needs If you've ever felt stuck in the same frustrating arguments, wondering why your partner just doesn't get it, this episode will shift your perspective.

There are whispers of a place—an unseen archive where every thought, every decision, every soul's journey is etched into existence. Some call it the Akashic Records, an infinite library beyond time and space, containing the secrets of the past, present, and even the future.  In this episode of The Language of Love Conversation, I'm joined by Daniela Gil—an intuitive healer, psychic, and guide known as the “psychic's psychic” and “healer's healer.” She works with the Akashic Records, plant medicine, and spiritual transformation, helping people connect with their divine essence. Daniela shares her journey as a highly sensitive child, the challenges she faced with mental health and addiction, and how plant medicine helped her reclaim her gifts. We explore the healing power of sacred plants and how they deepen our connection with ourselves, Pachamama (Mother Earth), and the divine. Whether you're curious about the Akashic Records, plant medicine, or finding your path to healing, this conversation will leave you inspired. In this episode, Daniela and I explore: The Akashic Records and how they can guide us The role of Wachuma, Ayahuasca, and Dieta in spiritual healing Overcoming fear, building faith, and living in love Soul contracts, twin flames, and the deeper nature of relationships Daniela's journey from struggle to spiritual awakening The transformative power of facing death and embracing change If you're feeling drawn to Daniela's work, you can connect with her on Instagram and explore all that she offers on her website.

For far too long, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) have carried a heavy weight of stigma—whispers behind closed doors, silent fears, and the crushing anxiety of disclosure and the rejection that might follow. Many people would rather avoid dating altogether than face the possibility of judgment. But should a diagnosis really hold that much power over your life? Should it define your worth, your relationships, or your future? In this Language of Love Session, I'm responding to an email from Claire, a listener who recently received a herpes diagnosis. Claire's feeling overwhelmed by shame and fear about her dating future. She's worried she'll never find love and is unsure how to share her diagnosis with potential partners. Here's the truth: A herpes diagnosis does NOT make you undateable. In fact, 1 in 4 people have herpes, and 80% of them don't even know it! The stigma around STDs, especially herpes, creates unnecessary shame. But at the end of the day, herpes is just a manageable skin condition—one that can be effectively treated with medication. In this episode, I dive into: The prevalence of herpes and why the stigma needs to end Why herpes doesn't define you: You are so much more than your diagnosis, and the right person will see that. How to manage outbreaks and reduce transmission risk The best way to disclose your diagnosis to a potential partner If you need any help or advice, you can email me at languageoflovepod@gmail.com and you can also get a chance to join me on Zoom for a one-on-one session.

What if our worst moments are actually an opportunity to shift into a deeper connection with ourselves and everyone and everything around us?  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.

Did you know that most arguments in relationships aren't really about what they seem? That fight about the trash? The dishes? Being late? It's rarely about the actual issue—it's about something deeper. Feeling unheard. Feeling unappreciated. Feeling disconnected. In this Language of Love Session, we continue to follow Brian and Stacey as they navigate the challenges of trust, intimacy, and emotional connection. Brian feels like he's doing everything right—planning dates, showing affection, making an effort—yet the intimacy still isn't there. Stacey, meanwhile, struggles with past trauma and the weight of expectation, making it hard for her to fully engage. We confront the hidden emotions and unspoken fears that keep them stuck in the same frustrating cycle. What's inside this episode? How past traumas influence trust and intimacy in relationships Why taking sex off the table can help rebuild emotional and physical connection The importance of non-sexual touch in fostering intimacy and trust How to navigate the "Drama Triangle" (victim, villain, hero) in conflicts Practical strategies for shifting out of conflict and into connection The role of appreciation and physical affection in healing relationships How to create a culture of safety and understanding in your partnership Don't forget—love is a journey best taken together.

And then there's Ethan's wife—cue her powerful essay in The Cut, where, as a therapist, she lays bare the raw pain of betrayal and the chaos of their breakup. But let's step back for a moment. This isn't just celebrity gossip. Infidelity doesn't care if you're famous—it can happen to anyone. The real question is: how do you safeguard your relationship from falling into the same pitfalls? In this episode of The Language of Love Bite, I dive into the tough but necessary conversation about “affair-proofing” your relationship. Inspired by the recent headlines, we explore what it takes to build trust, connection, and intimacy in any partnership—whether you're under the spotlight or not.

What do you do when your child accidentally walks in on you and your spouse during an intimate moment? It's one of those unexpected situations that can leave you feeling flustered and unsure of how to respond. In this Language of Love session, a listener, Kim, reaches out to me after experiencing one of those “mortifying parenting moments” when her 8-year-old son walked in on her and her husband during an intimate moment. Kim's reaction? Shock, followed by a quick hug for her son and an attempt to smooth things over. But now she's left wondering: Should she bring it up? Pretend it didn't happen? Or use this as an opportunity to talk about the “birds and the bees”? During this session, we explore how these awkward moments can actually become teachable ones. While it's natural to feel embarrassed, it's also an opportunity to model healthy relationships, intimacy, and communication. After all, parents are their kids' first and most important teachers about love, boundaries, and values. Here is what we tackle: The importance of modeling love and intimacy for your children. How to talk to kids about puberty and the basics of reproduction in a way that's age-appropriate. Using family values as a foundation for these conversations. Why these “awkward” moments can set the stage for lifelong healthy attitudes about sex and relationships. The critical role of ongoing, open communication with your kids. The confidence and security kids gain when they feel informed about their bodies and emotions. Remember, it's not about having “the talk” once and checking it off the list—it's about fostering a conversation that evolves as your child grows. So the next time a parenting curveball comes your way, don't panic—lean into it. You've got this!

Pam and I share a bond beyond our love for quantum physics and a belief in manifestation. We've both faced unimaginable losses: We both lost both our parents as well as a child. I lost my son Sammy, while Pam lost her daughter to a sudden aneurysm. We've walked through the pain of these losses and emerged with a sense of grace connection that feels almost otherworldly. We both agree that “lost” doesn't feel quite right—our loved ones are gone, yet we still feel their presence, like gentle echoes guiding us forward. Pam shares how completing A Course in Miracles after her daughter's passing became a sanctuary and source of resilience, as writing has been for both of us. Together, we discuss how our work—whether through writing, teaching, or supporting others—has been shaped by these experiences.  Tune in to explore: How our beliefs shape our reality and how to manifest with purpose The healing power of daily gratitude Signs and symbols that connect us with loved ones who've passed Ways to cultivate appreciation in relationships and savor life's precious moments How to embrace difficult emotions to find clarity and peace Make sure to explore the E-Squared experiments on YouTube and dive into Pam's insightful books:, E-Squared, E-Cubed, A Course in Miracles, and God Doesn't Have Bad Hair Days.

They swept you off your feet, showered you with affection, and made you feel like the center of their world—until they didn't.

Talking about the end of life isn't exactly everyone's favorite topic, but it's one of the most important conversations we can have. Not only does it give our loved ones clarity and peace, but it also creates a pathway to stay connected—even after they've crossed over. Caregivers know this better than anyone; they lean into these talks because they understand how much they matter. So, maybe it's time we stop avoiding the tough stuff and start having the conversations that truly count. In this Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with the incredible Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider to explore how to deepen our connections with loved ones—even after they've crossed over. Shoshana gets personal, sharing her journey of walking alongside her father during his final chapter. She opens up about how caregiving reshaped her relationships—not just with her dad, but with herself and her husband, who stepped into a caregiving role in unexpected and beautiful ways. We dive into the emotional complexities of caregiving, the impact of family dynamics during illness, and how these experiences inspire her groundbreaking work in palliative care and end-of-life issues. Here's a taste of what we explore: Why honest conversations about end-of-life care can transform tough moments into meaningful ones The difference between palliative care and hospice care How terminal illness impacts family relationships in surprising ways The importance of informed decision-making in end-of-life situations What cultural attitudes about death and dying reveal—and how to rethink them Reshaping how the media portrays end-of-life and caregiving Remember to stay connected with Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider on LinkedIn or through her website to follow her groundbreaking work in transforming how we approach life's transitions and end-of-life care.
