The Language of Love

Are you looking for more ways to spice things up in the bedroom? We've all heard the usual—lingerie, toys, candlelit date nights, maybe even a threesome. But have you ever wondered if the real magic has been there all along, just waiting for you to try? What if feeling more, instead of doing more, is what really lights the fire? Curious to find out?  In this special Language of Love Bite, I dive into something that's not just my newest obsession—it's the subject of my brand-new book: Sex Magic. The truth is, the pandemic—and everything that came after it—opened my eyes. I started seeing more and more people, whether in monogamous or non-monogamous relationships, desperately looking for ways to spice things up. And while the desire was valid, the strategies? Often risky. I heard from couples exploring threesomes, opening their relationships, chasing novelty in ways that were threatening the very foundations of their connection. But what if I told you that there are powerful, beautiful, time-tested ways to bring that spark back—and they've been around for thousands of years? That's where Sex Magic comes in. In this episode, I share: Why traditional advice on “spicing it up” only goes so far What the ancient traditions of Tantra, Taoism, and Kundalini can teach us about modern intimacy How to move sexual energy through your whole body—and even beyond A ritual you can use to manifest your desires during orgasm (yes, really) How sex magic can create emotional intimacy, spiritual connection, and even…miracles Whether you're solo or partnered, curious or all-in, this episode is your invitation to explore a whole new dimension of pleasure, connection, and personal power.

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.

Ever feel emotions that don't seem to belong to you? Like you're carrying pain that started long before you were born? What if the things you're struggling with—sexual trauma, shame, fear of being seen—aren't just yours... but inherited? In this  Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with Dr. Frank Anderson, a renowned trauma psychiatrist who's helped countless people heal—but had to take his own journey first. Frank's new book, To Be Loved: A Story of Truth, Trauma and Transformation, blends memoir with a trauma healing guide. But before he could write it, he had to live it. He grew up disconnected from his body, afraid to show who he really was, and deeply shaped by generations of silence and suppression. In this episode, we go deep into: How trauma hides in families for generations—and how to spot it in your own Why intellect and “having it all together” often hide emotional chaos How hiding his identity became a form of survival—and how he found the courage to be fully seen What it really means to feel inherited pain, not just analyze it Coming out, breaking patterns, and embracing truth—on every level The life-changing magic of combining IFS with somatic healing And how you can start breaking cycles, too This is more than a conversation. It's an invitation—to feel, to face what's been buried, and maybe, to be the one in your family who finally sets it all down. Learn more about Dr. Frank Anderson's work, including his new book To Be Loved: A Story of Truth, Trauma and Transformation, on his website and socials and register for his events.

So… your partner watches porn. Does that mean they're cheating? Or is it just harmless fantasy? If you've ever asked yourself this—or felt a pit in your stomach after finding out—this episode is for you. In this Language of Love session, I answer a powerful question from a listener named Karen. She just found out her boyfriend watches porn regularly, and she's not sure how to feel. Hurt? Angry? Insecure? Betrayed? Here's the thing—this isn't just about porn. It's about trust. Boundaries.

They say love is enough—but is it really? What if one simple question could reveal whether your relationship is built for long-term growth… or destined to quietly fall apart? In this Language of Love Bite, we explore the subtle but powerful force that separates short-lived connection from lasting partnership: mutual inspiration. This isn't about how often you laugh together or whether you share a Spotify playlist. It's about whether you feel proud of who you're becoming with this person—and if your future selves are being shaped by love, not stifled by it. You'll also learn a 2-minute reflection exercise (called “The Mirror Test”) that just might change the way you look at your relationship forever. Let's dive in! What You'll Learn: The one question that can predict whether your relationship is built to last Why growth—not just chemistry—is the real glue in long-term love Key signs your partner supports your evolution (and red flags they might not) How admiration and inspiration fuel deeper connection Simple ways to check in on growth—monthly rituals, vision sharing, and more How to use journaling to reinforce love, even in small everyday moments “The Mirror Test”: A quick exercise to assess who you've become in this relationship—and who you're becoming Because true love doesn't just feel good.

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.

What if everything you've been told about love...is wrong? That magical moment when you'll meet "The One"—the perfect partner who completes you, understands you effortlessly, and makes love feel easy forever.

In this explosive Language of Love Bite, we get into: Is finding "The One" a myth or a real possibility The 3 non-negotiables that matter more than chemistry or shared hobbies The #1 predictor of long-term success The must-ask question before committing to someone  Monthly "growth check-ins"—how thriving couples stay aligned  When to walk away  Take my free quiz to get a clearer picture of what you're really looking for in love.  And make sure to check out my newest book, Sex Magic, which will take your sex life to the next level whether you are single or in a relationship!  Got any questions?

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.

Together, we explore what happens when you hit that inner wall—when you're stuck, misaligned, or playing house in a life that no longer feels like your own. We dive deep into Janne's journey from living a life that looked good on paper but felt soul-crushing, to courageously claiming her truth and starting over twice. We explore: Why “not this” is often the first clue—and the most sacred invitation to begin again What to do when your partner isn't growing with you—and how to honor love even in letting go 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 The emotional and physical toll of living in misalignment—and why your soul won't let you fake it forever 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 Ready to begin your own truth-telling journey?

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.

In this Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with Maureen Hancock, a renowned medium, holistic healer, and comedian.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The confidence and security kids gain when they feel informed about their bodies and emotions.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with best-selling author, Pam Grout, to explore the profound journey of healing, love, and loss—and to discuss how, even in the darkest times, we can discover light and meaning. 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.

Why, in a world full of endless choices, do so many of us search for that one person to share a life with?

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.
