In this conversation Susan talks about how she got started as a sexpert, as a married woman in her 40s who was deeply unhappy with her sex life and wanted to do something about it. As Susan and her husband started going to therapy and attending sex workshops, they learnt so many skills and became closer than ever, which made Susan passionate about teaching everything she was learning to others.

Jesus Gave His Followers the Earth's Most Intimate Relationship – a Personal Relationship with God, the Universe's Creator MESSAGE SUMMARY: The idea of an intimate relationship is to truly know someone; and you are given the privilege of knowing God, the Creator of the Universe. You are given the privilege of being close to Him and to have a personal and dynamic relationship with the God of the universe. Your relationship with God is made possible through Jesus the Christ and God's gracious gift of the Holy Spirit.  Paul, in Romans 8:37-39, succinctly defines God's uncompromising love for you through His personal relationship with you: “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.". Jesus puts the Holy Spirit in your life so that you can commune and have personal fellowship with God -- the most intimate relationship on earth.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, help me to be still and to wait patiently for you in silence. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 125). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Hatred. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Love. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

Let's incinerate a sacred cow right now. Most folks enter relationships asking one loud question while simultaneously avoiding one dangerous truth. They ask, “What do you bring to the table?” They never ask, “What already sits inside you when you sit down at the table?” Because the table never holds only money, degrees, status, hustle, body, ambition, or provision. The table also holds your nervous system. Your attachment injuries. Your childhood negotiations for love. Your unfinished grief. Your relationship survival strategies are dressed up as an actual personality. And no amount of external success cancels that receipt. We built an entire culture around outsourced offerings. Who pays. Who protects. Who provides. Who performs competence. Who keeps the lights on and the peace intact. But peace never functioned as a transferable asset.

This conversation revolves around the nervous system and its impact on the way that we connect. Dr. Alexandra is joined by Deb Dana, the leading translator of Dr. Stephen Porges' scientific work on Polyvagal Theory to the public and mental health professionals. As just one example of her huge impact, a term she coined, glimmers, has gone viral on TikTok. You'll hear Deb take us through Polyvagal Theory, explaining the three principles of neuroception, hierarchy of response, and coregulation. You'll learn about the states our nervous systems go between - how those states feel and the types of thoughts and sensations that go alongside each state. You will learn that our ability to connect with the people around us is dictated by our biology. It's not cognitive. And it's certainly not random.  Through the lens of Polyvagal Theory, helping our nervous systems and the nervous systems around us feel safe becomes the goal, and you'll learn how that perspective has shaped Deb Dana's life and how it can shift how you approach your relationships, as well. And of course, you'll hear about glimmers, including how to integrate a simple glimmer practice into your routine, in order to further help the nervous system feel safe and primed for connection, curiosity, and creativity.Resources worth mentioning from the episode:Read Deb Dana's “A Beginner's Guide to Polyvagal Theory”: https://dralexandrasolomon.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Beginners-Guide-Presentations-1.pdfLearn more about Deb Dana and her work: https://www.rhythmofregulation.com/Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory by Deb Dana: https://bookshop.org/p/books/anchored-how-to-befriend-your-nervous-system-using-polyvagal-theory-deb-dana-lcsw/2dcb315349927ae6Continue the conversation with Dr. Alexandra Solomon:Ask a question!

One day—and it's a very alarming day—you realize that the only thing keeping you from having the life (and love life) you want is fear.   You're scared of something, perhaps a few things (we all are), and that's what's holding you back from success, growth, freedom and especially intimacy.   We need to have a frank and honest conversation about fear and how to conquer our respective anchors, for if we don't, we'll stay stuck and single.   This is the final installment of a 7-part series where Roy offers answers to the 7 questions found in his newest book, Quantum Questions: How Answering 7 Radical Questions Leads to Attracting a Healthy, Lasting, Intimate Relationship.   This episode discusses the seventh question in the book, What Would I Do If I Wasn't Scared?

On Reimagining Love, we've done several solo episodes where Dr. Alexandra takes a seemingly simple and straightforward statement that folks are making about relationships. Then she pulls it apart to try to find more shades of grey, to add more complexity and layering to a phrase that she finds has gotten too simplistic. In today's episode, we are going to look at what it means when people say they've outgrown their relationship*. First, Dr. Alexandra will talk you through what she thinks people are saying when they say they've outgrown the relationship. Then she is going to look at the internal stuff - what might be going on inside of you that's shaping this feeling that you've outgrown the relationship that you're in. Then she is going to look at the relational stuff - what might be going on in the space between you and your partner that's shaping this feeling that you've outgrown the relationship. And then finally, she will talk about some strategies that you can use to bring clarity to the situation. *This episode often uses the language of intimate partnerships but much of it can be applied to other relationships, like friendships, as well.Other Solo RL Episodes that do a deep dive on a too-simplistic phrase:“I Love Them, But I'm Not In Love With Them” https://dralexandrasolomon.com/podcasts/i-love-them-but-im-not-in-love-with-them/“Right person, wrong time” https://dralexandrasolomon.com/podcasts/right-person-wrong-time/“If They Wanted To, They Would.” https://dralexandrasolomon.com/podcasts/if-they-wanted-to-they-would/Resources to support the episode:Reimagining Love episodes, Relational Ambivalence: Should I Stay or Should I Go?

There was a horrible story in the news recently where a father and son were killed by a swarm of "murder hornets" while zip-lining in the country of Laos.   That is tragic, and I don't mean to make light of it when I say your love life is being killed by a bunch of "Killer B's" too.   Those B's are: Blind Spots, Baggage, Beliefs and Barriers. And unless and until you deal with them in your life, you won't attract lasting love.   This is part five of a 7-part series where Roy offers answers to the 7 questions found in his newest book, Quantum Questions: How Answering 7 Radical Questions Leads to Attracting a Healthy, Lasting, Intimate Relationship.   This episode discusses the fifth question in the book, What is Standing in the Way of My Ability to Be Close?

You have probably tried just about everything to find your life partner. You've sought the wisdom of the "experts"—watching their videos, reading their books and listening to their podcasts. You've tried a few online dating sites or perhaps hired a matchmaker. You've talked to your friends, to your therapist, even your God.   And… bupkis. Nothing. You're still single.   And it's not because you need better experts, dating sites, therapists or even a better God.

What if it is your desire for a relationship that is keeping you from having one? That is such a crazy suggestion, isn't it? But what if it's true?

This episode is brought to you by Audible, Fatty15 and LMNT. Today I we sit down with psychotherapist and author Jessica Baum to explore how our earliest attachment patterns and trauma bonds shape the way we love, connect, and heal. Drawing from her groundbreaking new book SAFE: A Process for Creating Safe and Intimate Relationships with Yourself and Others, Jessica explains how the body stores implicit memory, why safety—not strength—is the gateway to healing, and how we can transform our nervous system responses to build secure, authentic relationships. Together, Chase and Jessica dive into the neuroscience of trauma healing, the difference between familiar love and real safety, the role of co-regulation, and how facing your own fears of abandonment can lead to the deepest peace and connection you've ever known.

For decades, persistent rumors have swirled suggesting that Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell's relationship may have been more intimate than either has publicly admitted. Those close to the royal household — including former protection officer Paul Page — have claimed Maxwell enjoyed unprecedented access to Buckingham Palace, reportedly visiting so often that staff assumed she and Andrew were romantically involved. Social insiders described a dynamic of “flirtation and familiarity” between the two, with Maxwell allegedly referring to the Duke as her “old friend” and occasionally boasting about their closeness. Several journalists and biographers have speculated that the pair shared a brief affair in the late 1990s or early 2000s, with some suggesting she acted as both confidante and potential romantic partner.While both have consistently denied any sexual relationship, the rumors remain deeply embedded in the broader Epstein scandal, fueled by photos, travel records, and the sheer frequency of their public appearances together. Maxwell was seen alongside Andrew at multiple social events, private dinners, and high-society gatherings from New York to London, and she was known to personally introduce him to Epstein's social circle. Even after Epstein's first conviction in 2008, reports indicate that Andrew continued corresponding with Maxwell — something critics interpret as evidence of a bond far deeper than friendship. Whether romantic or simply co-dependent, their connection has become one of the most scrutinized and damaging aspects of Andrew's public downfall.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

On Episode 41 of Mindful Warrior Radio, we welcome Dr. Lisa Firestone — Clinical Psychologist, Director of Research and Education at the Glendon Association, and Senior Editor at PsychAlive.org. Dr. Firestone is the coauthor of numerous articles and book chapters and has written several books with her father, Robert Firestone, including The Self Under Siege, Conquer Your Critical Inner Voice, Creating a Life of Meaning and Compassion, and Sex and Love in Intimate Relationships. Her extensive clinical training and research in the areas of suicide and violence have led to the development of several widely used assessments, including the Firestone Assessment of Self-Destructive Thoughts (FAST), the Firestone Assessment of Suicide Intent (FASI), and the Firestone Assessment of Violent Thoughts (FAVT), applied with both adults and adolescents. In this insightful conversation, Dr. Firestone explores how reframing our relationship with stress can transform our quality of life, presence, and performance. If you've ever wanted to transform the way you think about stress—and learn how to make it work for you instead of against you—this episode is a must-listen. She explains that “we're all going to experience stress in our lives, but when we shift our mindset about it, our entire experience changes. Stress isn't just one thing—it's how we perceive it. If we see it as exciting and challenging, our bodies respond very differently than if we see it as overwhelming or life-threatening.” Dr. Firestone challenges the common misconception that mindset work is simply about “thinking positively.” She notes that “mindset isn't about tricking ourselves into thinking positively—it's about changing how our nervous system responds. If you interpret a situation as dangerous, your body goes into fight-or-flight or even shutdown mode. But if you see it as a challenge, you can overcome it. It can be motivating, energizing, and even improve your performance.” One of her favorite techniques for reframing stress is surprisingly simple. “Replacing the word ‘stress' with ‘challenge' can be powerful. A challenge is something you can choose to take on, approach with curiosity, and even decide to walk away from. That simple reframe reminds us that we have agency, and that we can choose how we respond.” She also shares practical wisdom for building resilience over time. “We can train ourselves to respond differently to stress. That means growing our ability to handle it with self-compassion, preparing where we can, and letting go of what we can't control. The more flexible and adaptable we are, the more we expand our boundaries—and the better we perform in all areas of life.” You can learn more about Dr. Lisa Firestone's work at www.drlisafirestone.com, www.psychalive.org, and www.glendon.org.

The Relationship Circle is a concept that I keep coming back to again and again with my clients. Understanding the relationship circle helps us stay in our own lanes and resist the temptation to try and take control of things that aren't ours to control.  When we more clearly understand how to allow the other person the space to work through their own struggles and challenges and show up empathetic, supportive, and kind, we can start tapping into the intimate partnership relationships have the possibility of becoming.

In this episode of the Bill Press Pod, Bill Press reconnects with veteran journalist Michael Wolff to discuss the relationship between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Wolff reveals intimate details about their close friendship from the late 80s through the early 2000s, their mutual interests in women and real estate, and their eventual fallout over a Palm Beach property deal. Wolff also discusses Trump's efforts to downplay their relationship, Epstein's later belief that Trump contributed to his legal troubles, and the reluctance of mainstream media to delve into this story. Wolff shares his personal interactions with Epstein, insights from his 100 hours of taped interviews, and untapped explosive content related to Trump. The conversation also touches on Trump's first term in office, comparing it to his current administration, and concludes with Wolff's views on Trump's current challenges and potential impact on his political future.
