Send us a textWelcome to Episode 203, host Andrea Atherton and guest Janessa Filey-Ford, lean into a truth that often gets lost in the highlight reel of modern love: conscious relationships aren't always rainbows and unicorns. In fact, some of the most profound moments of growth, intimacy, and connection happen in the hard times—in the middle of conflict, discomfort, and uncertainty. This episode is an invitation to explore how we show up for ourselves and our partner when love gets real.We'll explore the importance of emotional regulation, not as a way to suppress your feelings, but as a commitment to owning your emotional experience, so you don't project, rescue, or rush someone else's process. It's easy to fall into the habit of giving advice when our partner is hurting, but real intimacy begins when we pause and ask, “What do you need from me right now?” That question alone can transform your relationship from reactive to deeply responsive. It's the difference between helping from love versus acting from anxiety.We'll also talk about the sacred act of allowing your partner to just be—to feel, to process, and to move through their own emotional landscape at their own pace. It's an act of trust and surrender to hold space without fixing, to witness without rushing, and to remember that your presence often speaks louder than words. Conscious love is built in these quiet, challenging moments—the ones where you choose to stay, soften, and grow… together.

America is just not that into you anymore, says historian Marci Shore. It's not us — it's them. The Yale professor blames the U.S. for the failed relationship and warns the world that her own country can no longer be counted on to defend democracy, not even within its own borders. Shore has been studying the history of totalitarianism for nearly 30 years. She tells Nahlah Ayed why she relocated to Canada and how her knowledge of Eastern Europe informed her choice.

in this raw and fiery episode of the cozy babes club, we're getting brutally honest: you're not a rehab center for broken men. if you're stuck in a long-term relationship where you've become his life coach, his maid, his emotional support human—this is your sign. we unpack the concept of “mommy wifing,” how it breeds resentment, and the five steps to break the cycle and come back home to you. you're not his mother, and you're not obligated to fix him. it's time to raise your standards, not him.BUY MY COURSES : http://kloeetatlor.com/shopJOIN Patreon: ⁠⁠http://patreon.com/kloeetaylor

Women have three magical buttons on their foreheads. Sexual success is about understanding which of these buttons to press and which of these buttons to stay away from.

Is it possible that shame—not desire—is what's really blocking your pleasure?   In this episode, we talk about sex as a somatic healing practice—how it can regulate the nervous system, release stored emotion, and support a deeper sense of safety. This isn't about quick fixes—it's about learning to listen to your body, understand your needs, and create space for real connection.   We look at what keeps many of us disconnected from our bodies, and how tuning into self-awareness and embodiment can shift our relationship with pleasure. You'll also hear how communication, curiosity, and timing can change the way we connect—with ourselves and others.   To help unpack all of this, I'm joined by Dr. Emily Morse, host of Sex with Emily and a leading voice in sexual wellness. She shares her 5 Pillars of Sexual Intelligence and practical tools to reframe shame, rebuild intimacy, and bring more presence into your sex life.   Whether you're just starting to explore your relationship with sex or have been on this path for a while, this conversation offers real tools you can use today.   ===   Want one of the most Powerful Tools to Support you in Awakening & Manifesting Your Dream Life from the Inside Out (for Free)?   Learn how to live to your full potential without letting fear get in the way of your dreams.    ✨ Here's How to Get Your Gift: ✨ Step 1: Just head over to Apple Podcast or Spotify + leave a review now Step 2: Take a screenshot before hitting submit Step 3: Then go to alyssanobriga.com/podcast to upload it!   ===   EPISODE TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 00:30 Exploring Sexual Shame and Cultural Conditioning 00:57 Navigating Sexual Attraction and Compatibility 01:16 Episode Overview and Guest Introduction 02:01 Understanding Female Pleasure and Breaking Taboos 04:17 The Five Pillars of Sexual Intelligence 12:01 Sex as a Healing Practice 16:29 Reigniting Chemistry in Long-Term Relationships 27:56 The Role of Foreplay and Building Sexual Connection 30:53 Reigniting the Spark in Long-Term Relationships 32:03 Exploring New Sexual Experiences Together 33:25 The Importance of Healthy Conversations About Sex 36:02 Navigating Sexual Desires in Dating 38:41 Practical Tips for Deeper Sexual Conversations 41:44 The Role of Therapy in Maintaining Intimacy 45:55 Debunking Common Misconceptions About Sex 52:08 Embracing Your Own Pleasure and Sexual Power 57:44 Staying Connected and Continuing the Journey   ===   GUEST LINKS IG, X, TikTok, Facebook: @sexwithemily https://www.youtube.com/user/SexWithEmily Website: http://www.sexwithemily.com   ===   Have you watched our previous episode titled Exploring Sexual Wellness, Tantra, & Erotic Empowerment - with Layla Martin   Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/sGOw2wo-e9Y?si=vDR774dTUcF7tAon   ====   Alyssa Nobriga International, LLC - Disclaimer This podcast is presented solely for educational and entertainment purposes.

Talking about sex in a long-term relationship can feel awkward, vulnerable, or even impossible—but it doesn't have to be. In this episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey dive deep into how to have hard conversations about your sexual relationship and create the sex life you both want.They unpack societal scripts that shape men's and women's experiences of desire, share real feelings from couples—including feeling stuck and trapped—and explore Esther Perel's insight: “It is not a crisis of desire, it is a crisis of imagination.”Together, they walk through six steps to reinvigorate your sex life:1️⃣ Examine your beliefs – Where did your ideas about sex come from? Do they still serve you?2️⃣ Assess your social circles – Are the relationships around you communicative and pleasure-centered?3️⃣ Expand your knowledge – Introduce new ideas and education into your “diet” and consider working with a sexuality educator like Lauren.4️⃣ Own your part – Take accountability for ways you may have contributed to a stagnant sex life and discuss what you'd love to nurture together.5️⃣ Take risks & explore – Experiment with new initiation styles, fantasies, Creative Monogamy (Dr. Joli Hamilton), sexy getaways, and educational resources like OMGYES and BEDUCATED.6️⃣ Integrate & choose – After experimenting, decide what works for you and what you want to keep.Lauren wraps up with a powerful reminder: “Once we have a greater understanding of our options and our choices, we don't feel stuck—we feel like choice makers. And THAT equals great sex.”

I'm back with Lesson 5 in my Coming Home to Yourself series, sharing what I've found to be the seven essential foundations for building a healthy, lasting, and loving relationship. I also talk about how some of these foundations have helped shape my relationship with my new partner, Dr. Fox (not his real name…more on that later)! As I get ready to celebrate my 50th birthday in April, I've been reflecting on the biggest life lessons I've learned about love, partnership, and personal growth.  The health of our relationships has a huge impact on our overall well-being, which is why choosing the right partner, whether you decide to get married or not, is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. A thriving relationship isn't just about chemistry; it takes emotional maturity, communication, self-trust, resilience, and daily effort. In fact, love isn't just about finding the right person, it's about being the right person.  Download this episode's worksheet at http://andreaowen.com/664 What you'll hear about in this episode: Emotional Maturity and How to Own Your Sh*t: Self-awareness, self-regulation, and recognizing when you're projecting past wounds. Radical Honesty and Authentic Communication: Honesty fuels connection, even when it's hard or messy. Self-Trust & Independence: Keep your passions, friendships, and personal growth alive. Conflict Resilience: You Two vs. The Problem: Ditch shame, defensiveness, and the need to “win.” Letting Go of Control and Holding Boundaries: Trust your partner while standing firm in your needs. Deep Respect and Mutual Appreciation: Love is a daily choice, not just a feeling. Shared Vision and Growth: Use the “Relationship Check-In” to assess what's working, what's not, and what you both need. Resources from this episode:

Send us a textIn this episode, Host Andrea Atherton sits down with therapist and relationship coach Christie Bemis to explore the hidden forces shaping our love lives—our childhood experiences and unconscious patterns. So much of what we struggle with in relationships—conflict, emotional distance, unmet needs—often traces back to the attachment wounds and learned behaviors we absorbed in our earliest years. Christie sheds light on how these patterns play out in our partnerships and, most importantly, how to break free from the cycles that keep us stuck. Awareness is the first step, but what does real healing look like? They discuss practical strategies for uncovering these unconscious wounds and transforming them into opportunities for growth and deeper connection.Beyond healing the past, Andrea and Christie dive into how long-term relationships can lose their spark and fall into ruts. While comfort and routine can feel safe, they can drain passion and excitement. Christie shares keys on how to reignite desire, bring playfulness back into intimacy, and rediscover the deep attraction that brought partners together in the first place. From communication shifts to shared experiences, they discuss how couples can keep their connection fresh and fulfilling, even after years together.Finally, the conversation turns inward—because the most powerful way to improve any relationship is by doing the work on ourselves. What does it mean to be the best partner we can be? How do we cultivate self-awareness, emotional regulation, and personal growth so we can allow the healthiest version of ourselves into our relationships? Andrea and Christie offer actionable tips on shifting mindset, fostering deeper emotional intelligence, and embracing change in ways that positively impact both partners. Whether you're in a new relationship or have been with your partner for decades, this episode is packed with insights to help you create a love that creates healing and deep fulfillment.Christie Bemishttps://www.christiebemis.com/Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/hotpinkyouInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/christie.bemis/Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christie-bemis-55987aaa/30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Dr. Alexandra Stockwell and Pamela Madsen dive into the complexities of maintaining passion in long-term relationships. They explore the crucial components that are required to rekindle desire and excitement in marriage, especially when things have grown stale over time. Pamela Madsen shares her expert insights on why nurturing your own body and desires is foundational to enhancing erotic vitality with your partner. Addressing the common misconception that both people need to change for the relationship to improve, Pamela advocates for personal exploration of erotic needs and learning how to communicate them effectively with your partner. They address the importance of maintaining "fire" in a relationship through spontaneity, and unpredictable yet intimate gestures. They discuss actionable strategies for couples to explore sexual dynamics, such as using date nights to creatively explore sensual desires through games and shared experiences, all with the aim of rekindling intimacy and passion.   Tips in this episode: Begin by understanding your own body and desires before attempting to change or influence your partner. This self-awareness creates a more erotic and confident presence in your relationship. Learn to express what you need erotically without expecting immediate changes from your partner.

Have you listened to the FULL EPISODE yet?"Loving someone is letting them be themselves. When somebody can be deeply disappointed in you or something that you've done and they can still love you - that's holding space for two things to be true." - Mel RobbinsWith raw honesty and profound insight, Mel Robbins unveils her transformative understanding of love, drawing from her own journey through relationship challenges with her husband Chris. She redefines love through two essential components: consideration - the small daily acts of thinking about another person, and admiration - the ability to genuinely see and appreciate someone else's qualities. Through her personal experience, she reveals how successful long-term relationships depend on both partners wanting it to work and being willing to stay on the metaphorical seesaw, even through the inevitable ups and downs.Robbins delves deep into the revolutionary concept of "letting people be who they are" and its impact on relationships. She challenges common misconceptions about guilt-driven actions and explains how our brains physically resist opposing viewpoints, drawing from Dr. Tali Sherratt's research. Her insights extend beyond romantic relationships to family dynamics and political differences, offering a practical framework for maintaining meaningful connections while honoring personal boundaries and values. This approach transforms how we handle disappointment, disagreement, and the delicate balance between influencing others and accepting them as they are.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter!

On this episode of the Customers First Podcast, I welcomed back Natalie Doyle Oldfield, founder of Success Through Trust and author of her newly released book, "Trusted: The Proven Path to Customer Loyalty and Business Growth." Natalie's expertise in trust-based relationships serves as a cornerstone for businesses aiming for customer satisfaction and deeper loyalty and growth. We dive into the journey that led her to write her second book and the significant findings derived from her research into the essence of customer trust. Natalie shares her passion for understanding the motivations behind consumer behaviour and the crucial role trust plays in whether businesses succeed or falter. We delve into the eight principles outlined in "Trusted," starting with the necessity of deep listening imbued with empathy and compassion. It is about understanding and validating the other person's experiences and perspectives, which is vital in any professional engagement. As we unpack the subsequent principles, Natalie emphasizes the importance of clear, honest, and transparent communication. Our conversation also touches on behaviours that can erode trust, including inconsistency and dishonesty, and how leaders can operationalize trust-building practices within their teams. As our dialogue unfolds, it becomes clear that genuine trust is the path to customer loyalty. Natalie urges listeners to recognize that relationships are at the heart of every successful business transaction, emphasizing that when individuals feel trusted and valued, they are likely to reciprocate that loyalty. Throughout this episode, it's evident that trust is not just an abstract concept; it is a measurable and actionable factor that every business can aspire to enhance. To fully grasp the depths of these principles and the practical insights shared, I encourage you to pick up a copy of Natalie's book, "Trusted." You'll find a wealth of information and actionable steps to implement immediately to foster trust in your organization.

From a very early age you were likely told not to lie. Lying is bad. And it seems that one of the things it is bad for is your health! This episode begins by explaining how lying affects your health – and not in a good way. https://newsinfo.nd.edu/news/32424-study-telling-fewer-lies-linked-to-better-health-relationships The idea of marrying someone for love is a relatively recent concept when you look back through human history. Today, it is often the primary reason for marriage. Yet if you look at the divorce statistics, love may not be the magic ingredient to long term relationships. While we are not likely to go back to arranged marriages, there may be something we can learn from them, says psychiatrist George Blair-West author of the book How to Make the Biggest Decision of Your Life (https://amzn.to/3gQPTyD). Listen as he explains what really works in keeping a relationship together – and it isn't romantic love.  The human mind works in odd ways. For one thing, we tend to be overconfident in our abilities. We often think other people are having more fun than we are. We also tend to like things simply because they remind us of us – like the letters in your name or the numbers in your birthday! Here to explain all this is David G. Myers. He is a social psychologist and professor of psychology at Hope College and author of a book How Do We Know Ourselves?: Curiosities and Marvels of the Human Mind (https://amzn.to/3fqyP1Z). Every good cook knows you should NEVER wash or rinse mushrooms, you should brush them. That is because mudrooms soak up water like a sponge and that ruins them. But what if that isn't really true? Listen as I explain. Source: Harold McGee author of On Food and Cooking (https://amzn.to/3UeclA2). PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!
