As life got busier and their connection frayed, they chose to seek help rather than walk away. That decision not only transformed their relationship, but it also sparked Lisa's mission: to remove the shame around relationship struggles and help others build stronger, more conscious partnerships.Together, we explored so many powerful themes, including:Why the quality of your relationships impacts the quality of your lifeThe invisible mental load women carry — and how it's affecting our connectionHow understanding your love languages can shift everything (with partners and kids)The quiet build-up of resentment — and what to do about itHow to reignite intimacy when spontaneous desire isn't there anymoreWhat self-care really means How to know if a relationship is repairable — or notWhy self-awareness is one of the most underrated tools in any relationshipLisa's approach is practical, compassionate, and totally free of judgment — just the kind of perspective I wish we were all taught earlier.If you're in a relationship, questioning one, or simply curious about how to deepen your sense of connection and self-trust, I know this episode will speak to you.

Take a look at the number of divorces, the rate of affairs, younger generations talking about the lack of commitment… I'm not sure if it's dead, but it's definitely not looking good, is it?  This episode of Sex, Love, and Elephants kicks off a series about the rumored demise of long-term love.

Want to Rate your Relationship and Learn the Three Keys to Long Term Love?  Take the Passion Quiz Now!  “Dr. Cheryl, how can I spice things up in the bedroom with my sweetheart?” “Why has the heat left our sex life?” “How can I get my lover to be adventurous in bed like we used to be?” Think back to the beginning of your relationship… How spicy or adventurous or open or willing or playful or hot or uninhibited were you? And why aren't you and your lover that way anymore? Often when we make deeper steps towards commitment, the stakes are higher. We're more vulnerable than in those first few months and we become more fearful of rejection. On this Sex, Love, and Elephants rewind, I'm teaching you my biggest tips to bring the heat to your bedroom and the spice back to your long term relationship in 2025. Are you willing to settle for “nice” as the benchmark for success for your sexual life? I know that's not true for most of you, but maybe you've become a lazy lover. Do you wish you could be more inventive? That you could suggest things? That you could please your lover's body? In This Episode, You'll Learn: Most of us are more adventurous and playful in bed at the beginning (01:49) Get more acquainted with your own turn-ons (08:09) Share your sexual fantasy with your lover (13:11) Don't be lazy—do some research!

Want to Rate your Relationship and Learn the Three Keys to Long Term Love?  Take the Passion Quiz Now!  “But Dr. Cheryl, don't you know that romance is dead?”  “How can I be as sexy as those guys my wife reads about in her steamy books?” “Will I ever stop waiting for my rom com meet-cute whirlwind romance?!” It's pretty easy to be cynical about modern love. We're so misled by the media and romantic comedies and romance novels about what love should look like that it can be really dangerous to our relationships. We have this illusion that love and romance need to be a certain way, but the truth is that real life relationships are a whole lot different than what we see on the screen or read on the page.  On this Sex, Love, and Elephants rewind, I'm teaching you my biggest tips to create and sustain romance between you and your partner through 2025 and beyond.  When's the last time you and your sweetheart really thought out of the box for a date night? What about exploring a whole new-to-you cuisine, stepping out of your typical movie genre box, or even learning to ice skate together (and sharing a laughing fit when you both end up on your bottoms!) It can be hard to get out of your comfortable rut, but branching out can bring some much needed spice and bonding time to a long term relationship.  In This Episode, You'll Learn: The most important predictor of happiness, health, and well being in our lives is the health and happiness of our romantic relationship (00:40) Idealized portrayals of love can be damaging to our real life relationship (03:38) Date nights are a no-brainer and a non-negotiable (04:38) A great relationship is about taking action (11:16) Expressing gratitude lowers your heart rate and your stress response (12:09) Get off your butt and celebrate with your sweetheart (16:18) Today's LoveByte (18:56) Want to learn more about Buddhism and relationships?

Want to Rate your Relationship and Learn the Three Keys to Long Term Love?  Take the Passion Quiz Now!  “But Dr. Cheryl, shouldn't the goal be not to have any arguments with my sweetheart?” If you're a human being who loves another human being, do you truly think it's healthy to never argue with your sweetheart? To never disagree, never have a tense conversation or one that leads to you feeling anxious or worried or hurt or angry?  On this Sex, Love, and Elephants rewind, I'm teaching you why a long term relationship with no fighting or arguing is one giant red flag. When you're arguing with your partner, you literally cannot know their side of things. You can't see their side of the clock, you can't visualize what they're seeing—they have a different background, a different family upbringing, different hopes and dreams. It's this simple, powerful idea that often becomes one of the most important teachings for couples in my Become Passion program.  In This Episode, You'll Learn: Couples who don't have conflict are avoiding the tough topics (02:00) One of the best ways to improve your communication is to take a step back from what's happening in the moment (09:38) To argue effectively, you and your honey need to agree on a “time out” signal (12:40) When we're triggered and irrational, we are being hijacked by our emotions (14:28) We make mistakes and our partners make mistakes—learn to apologize like a pro (19:30) Today's LoveByte (21:09) Want to learn more about Buddhism and relationships?

In this episode, we delve into the art of conscious relationships with world-renowned teacher, speaker, and author Om Rupani. Drawing from over two decades of experience, Om unpacks the complex interplay of intimacy, power dynamics, and personal growth. From the challenge of maintaining eros in long-term partnerships to the transformative potential of BDSM, Om offers profound insights into rekindling desire and fostering deeper connections. We explore provocative topics like the psychology behind cheating fantasies, the balance of respect and submission, and how trust and leadership qualities shape relational dynamics. Om's wisdom challenges societal norms and invites listeners to embrace vulnerability, authenticity, and the power of intentional relationships. Om also addresses the corrosive effects of modern cultural narratives, such as media's distortion of sexual energy and its impact on masculine and feminine roles. He highlights the importance of emotional cleanliness, personal growth, and self-interest in creating relationships that thrive. Packed with practical insights and transformative perspectives, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone seeking to deepen their connection to themselves, their partners, and the truth about intimacy.   https://www.omrupani.com/ https://omrupani.org/ Become a premium member and support our podcast.

This week's episode is deliciously insightful. Hannah is joined by Natalie Bell, a life, love and dating coach. Natalie talks through why some people sabotage a healthy relationship after being in a toxic one and how healing your own past trauma is key to creating a healthy relationship; whether that is on your own or whilst with a new partner. Hannah and Natalie discuss the ways in which we can sustain long term love, including always continuing to date your partner, respect, honouring a commitment and top notch communication. Natalie details some of the themes she sees from her clients, around settling, healing, finding your self worth after a break up, finding routines and family trauma. Natalie is such a delight, and her wisdom in this arena just makes you feel so seen and less alone. Hannah talks about how she has learnt to trust the process, but ultimately, how self awareness is a key component to a fulfilling life.  You can find Natalie on instagram at Nataliebell9 and on her website www.chatswithnat.com Her book recommendation was: The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman You can follow the podcast at @wholenesswithhannah on Instagram or email the podcast at hello@wholenesswithhannah.com.

At this time of year it is traditional in many Jewish communities to focus on enriching marriages, maintaining holiness and strengthening the Jewish homes of today and tomorrow.  The reproductive drives can bring out the best and worst in anyone, and societal messages can cause so much harm.  The Torah's way of balance, of love of loyalty and integrity sees true intimate connection as a pathway to deep spiritual growth.  This series focuses on bringing out the Torah's wisdom to help us navigate the challenges and upgrade our relationships.

How can you consciously evolve long-term relationships? Returning to answer this question and other spiritual, romantic, and philosophical inquiries is the high priestess herself, Julie Piatt. Longtime listeners are well-acquainted with my wife's mystical ways with wisdom, but if this is your first introduction to the one who goes by SriMati, she is an accomplished yogi, musician, chef, and mom to our four children.

We also discuss lessons learned from the front lines of start-up entrepreneurship through Julie's SriMu adventures—plus thoughts on Wilco, Memphis, and more.

Keeping a long-term relationship/marriage happily together throughout your twenties and into your thirties is not an easy thing to do (as so many of us know).The majority of us spend a large part of our twenties just trying to figure out what it means to be an adult! We are continuously learning what traits and characteristics we like, what our values are and over all the kind of person we want to be and the vision we have for our future and often, by the time we approach the age of 30, that vision has changed, maybe more than once.Clarice Harrison, (also known as Outzilla) is a Mindset & Meditation Coach who, during her twenties transformed herself from an anxious people pleaser, into a happy, calm and confident women all while maintaining her relationship of over 10 years.Clarice shared how working on yourself and putting yourself first can create huge benefits for both your partner and your relationship.How to create self trust and how that self trust will keep you calm, grounded and stop an over reaction, even in the most stressful of times throughout your relationship.Finally, we discuss the issue of why so many relationships that began in the couple's late teens/early twenties end up breaking down by the time they reach the age of 30 and how we can not only make sure our relationships & marriages survive this time, but thrive and have the most loving, fulfilling and happy connection.Instagram:* @outzilla* @charlottejonespresentsWebsite:* outzilla.co.ukLink to E-book mentioned in introduction:* https://www.outzilla.co.uk/product-page/e-book-out-of-comfort-into-living

EP 48: In this episode, Crista talks about the differences between what we want to happen versus what actually happens. It's important that we understand these differences in order to find love. It's not uncommon to see single women struggle with their dating life. We can't seem to find a guy who is anything like our ideal, and we're constantly questioning why this is the case. There are many reasons for this- but one of them might be that you're sabotaging your chance at long-term love by creating an "imagined future."  The way in which most people do this is by imagining what they think their lives will be like when they've found Mr. Right: where they'll live, what he'll do for a living, how many children there will be, etc. This “imagined future” can prevent you from truly seeing the man that you are dating. In order to make the best long-term decision of your life, you need to 100% see him, and not some fantasy you have created about him.

Andre has been studying people his entire life. Over a decade ago, he was compelled to teach his findings and knowledge to the masses for they kept asking him “why things seemed to be so hard or confusing” when dealing with relationships, people and life. Often, relationships can seem to be a power struggle. The magic is to be fully aware of the energy mechanism in place in these dynamics and learn to negotiate the terms to reduce power friction. Andre is married for over two decades and a proud parent of two teens. His expertise spans not only over his knowledge studies, research and expertise as a Coach, Teacher, Educator, Mentor and public Speaker, but also over his actual life's experience in dating, love, parenting and business.

How can you achieve the mindset that will lead you to long term love? In this episode, Lyn Smith ‘Queen of HEARTS’ explains how to change your mindset and attract / create the long-term intimate relationship you’ve dreamed of. If you are open to working on your mindset to achieve what you’ve always wanted then this podcast is for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS You need to build strong foundations to attract / create a lifetime relationship and having the polarisation of energies in the relationship is key. Equality is about having equal opportunities in life, not about being the 'same' as men, it's this that has led us towards a gender-neutral approach. It is crucial that we recognise and embrace that men and women are 'different'. We have both masculine and feminine energy and we need to learn how to use these different energies in a positive way to attract / create lasting passion & fulfilment in our intimate relationships.   Having low self-esteem and not feeling worthy will result in you attracting a partner who is a reflection of that self-talk. It’s important to learn how to love yourself and affirm that for yourself as part of the foundation for maintaining healthy long-term love. Unconscious negative dis-empowering beliefs result in you engaging in self-defeating behaviour and you are then more likely to have a poor outcome and not achieve the healthy long-term relationship you really want.  BEST MOMENTS ‘If your beliefs don’t align with your vision it’s time to change them’ ‘Previous experiences create your positive & negative beliefs about men and relationships’ ‘If you are looking for 'external' validation nothing is going to change’ ‘Take responsibility for looking after your own happiness and health’ ‘It's all about the doing the 'internal' work on ourselves’ ABOUT THE HOST Lyn Smith – (The Queen of HEARTS) – Love, Dating & Relationship Expert Lyn’s personal story is a very inspirational and harrowing one of how she went from having unhealthy and unfulfilling relationships with men (on the back of several serious traumatic sexual assaults in her teens) to now being in a soul fulfilling relationship which makes her feel alive, is full of passion and gives her inner peace. She has a proven track record as a Love Solutions - Relationship Expert / Trainer / Inspirational Speaker and Best-Selling Author based upon her own vast personal research, experiential learning and training with the world’s leading industry experts. Understanding the polarisation of masculine & feminine energy resulted in her creating massive attraction and a passionate, intimate, fulfilling relationship – that inspired her to design & present her own course programmes to share these break-through relationship techniques with women across the globe. HEARTS Entwined is a world-class service based on care and understanding, which is committed to providing step-by-step high-value love, dating and relationship solutions. Lyn makes a difference by helping you make a difference; she has a vision of contributing back on a global scale – to create a lasting legacy of safety, dignity and opportunity for children and women who have survived rape, abuse and severe trauma as a result of war crimes and sex trafficking – through the setting up of worldwide – ‘you can heal your life’ centres.

As entrepreneurs and creatives, we know the feeling of pouring our whole heart into our work. Of devoting all our attention to the project at hand in pursuit of something greater than ourselves. How do we balance that quest for our best work with the desire to nurture our long-term, loving relationships?  How do we make room for the people we love—and love us back? What if the qualities necessary to sustain our long-term, loving relationships are the very same qualities we use to sustain our commitment to the creative path? On this episode of Tracking Wonder, Jeffrey is joined by Susan Piver, renowned Shambhala Buddhist teacher, New York Times bestselling author, and founder of the world’s largest virtual mindfulness community, the Open Heart Project. Susan shares the significance of bringing a constant curiosity to our loving relationships, explaining how the practice of love demands an attention not on the extraordinary, but on the familiar and ordinary. She offers insight around the four noble truths of love, the challenges of standing in love versus falling in love, and the idea of meeting instability together. Listen in to understand why long-term love doesn’t have to be in battle with one or both partners’ devotion to creative work and learn and learn how mindfulness is the practice of love.

Patricia Johnson and Mark Michaels, two of America's top Tantra experts, authors of Partners in Passion:  A Guide to Great Sex, Emotional Intimacy and Long-Term Love will chat with me tonight about the Victorian diagnosis' of Hysteria, the "G" spot, and their practice of combining the best of East and West in their recommended approach to passion, offering listeners a new paradigm for what an enduring romance can be.  We'll talk about taboo breaking, reverence, infatuation vs love, and listening, among other important qualities that combine to build your adventure toward intimacy.  

Opening tonight's show, Cathy Pagano returns with her monthly Cosmic Story, telling us what the Cosmos has cooked up for us in the coming month of August.  Afterwards,in an extended What's the Buzz segment, I discuss Awakening the Women, musing on the women who consciously unconsciously are asleep at the wheel and serve as handmaidens of the patriarchy.  I'll delve into how mythology affects our outlook, why a male god is harmful to women and girls and you'll hear out takes from when I was interviewed for Femme: Women Healing the World. * Due to a technical problem with the connection,  Mark and Patricia Johnson, two of America's top tantra experts discussing their book, Partners in Passion:  A Guide to Great Sex, Emotional Intimacy and Long-Term Love, will be rescheduled.

Yep, we're talking sex today. But really it's more about closeness, intimacy, connection and building a better relationship. Partners in Passion themselves, Mark Michaels and Patricia Johnson offer relationship and sexuality coaching informed by their Tantric training and 15 years of teaching experience. Whether you are in a relationship or single this interview is going to be packed with great information you don't want to miss!
