In this intimate London-based episode of LOVERS, Shan sits down with the legendary storyteller and pleasure educator Seema Anand, the woman who transformed shame into sacred power. From being judged and silenced for her fascination with the Kama Sutra to becoming its most celebrated modern interpreter, Seema shares how self-love became her act of rebellion. Together, we talk about: ✨ Growing up rebelling against libertine attitudes and then discovering Tantra ✨ The link between shame, sensuality, and self-expression ✨ Why women still feel guilt for wanting pleasure ✨ The truth behind the Kama Sutra's ancient wisdom ✨ How to fall in love with yourself — unapologetically in your sixties or at any age This episode was inspired by our collaboration jewelry line KAMA, created to remind women to prioritize pleasure — in bed and beyond. Each piece is designed to honor the art of connection and confidence. In collaboration with Surmeyi, our Käma collection celebrates women's bodies as inseparable from nature, and pleasure as the invisible force balancing the universe. Get your jewelry today:

Buongiorno… or perhaps Buonasera—depending on where you are in the world. Today's episode is a heart-opening love letter to Florence, Italy. And if you've ever stepped foot in a foreign city and felt inexplicably at home—like your soul had been there before—this story will speak to you. I'm joined by the beautiful and wise Melinda Gallo, writer, intuitive expat, website developer, and author of the exquisite new book Messages from Florence—a collection of soulful reflections, photography, and poetic messages received through her 21-year journey of living in Florence. Melinda didn't plan to live in Italy. But after arriving for what was meant to be a three-month break to learn Italian and find inspiration, the city had other plans. Within weeks, she had an apartment, a job, and a whole new life—and she's been guided by Florence ever since. Inside this romantic, soulful episode, we talk about: How Melinda followed her intuition (and left a successful tech career in Paris) to start over in Italy Why Florence became her muse, her teacher, and her greatest guide The story behind her book Messages from Florence and how it was divinely downloaded over years of quiet communion with the city The creative rituals and intuitive practices that shaped her path What it truly means to lead a heart-centered life A beautiful $10-off gift for Messages from Florence—link below! Melinda's story reminds us that reinvention doesn't always begin with a plan. Often it begins with a feeling… and the courage to follow it.

This summer, I hit a breaking point. Seriously, my friends wanted to admit me for professional help. After my most recent breakup, I was on the verge of a breakdown. Not because a man had that much power over me —but because of what his leaving exposed within me.The breakup wasn't the cause of my pain;it was the catalyst that cracked open the deep places of my heart —places where old wounds and patterns had been hiding for years.So today, I'm sharing something deeply personal.This isn't for him, although it's addressed to him.This is for the woman listening right now who knows that kind of ache — the anxious heart that just wants answers, the love that feels unfinished, the pain that God promises to redeem.And this is not just for singles--I know married women who need this healing. If you've ever loved an avoidant,if you've ever been ghosted,if you've ever been left wondering what went wrong,I pray this episode brings you comfort and clarity.Because sometimes… God uses heartbreak to bring healing.

Hello lovelies! Thanks for listening (and reading!)I knew something more was up with me hating to get feedback, never feeling comfortable with asking for help and for telling others about my endeavors so I'd keep trekking along solo and in a silo.In my quest to understand myself...I present RSD (short for Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria). All 'jokes' aside - having RSD is no joke at all.What the eff is RSD?Here is the definition per the Cleveland Clinic:Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD): Symptoms & Treatment"Rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) is when you experience severe emotional pain because of a failure or feeling rejected. This condition is linked to ADHD and experts suspect it happens due to differences in brain structure. Those differences mean your brain can't regulate rejection-related emotions and behaviors, making them much more intense."How did I learn about RSD?Tracy Otsuka, from her podcast and book both titled 'ADHD for the Smart A** Woman'. I heard Tracy talk about it before and I read her book and only recently did I put two and two together that "OMGosh, I totally have this!" and, "This makes so much sense why it's so excruciatingly hard for me put myself out there" and "I see why I've been the way I have been my whole life and why I do the things that I do for fear of rejection!". It's more so with those that have ADHD (which also makes so much sense since I've discovered that I an ADHD brain!).Do you also have RSD?If you noticed that you do, I hope this helps to explain why you have such a major fear of rejection like me.I hope to have Tracy herself talk about this on the podcast and/or another expert on this.This is the part of the onion that needs to get peeled.If you've enjoyed this episode, can you please leave a review on Spotify or on Apple podcasts. It would mean the world to me. :)Sincerely,Elizabeth

In today's episode we sit down with award‑winning author Heather Snodgrass, creator of the genre‑bending novel A Love Letter to Reading. Heather blends thriller, identity, and transformation with a meticulously curated playlist that runs 99 hours long—every chapter is anchored to a song, a TV theme, or even a wrestling reference.We'll hear how the book started as a screenplay, morphed into a full‑blown novel, and why the Leon Bridges track “River” is the story's heartbeat. Heather shares her creative ritual—listening to everything from the Beatles to Taylor Swift, avoiding jazz and country, and letting lyrical storytelling guide her prose. She also reveals the quirky details that make her world unique: a pediatric oncology‑nurse‑by‑day, assassin‑by‑night protagonist named Mariana “Scorpion” Rossi; a love for Final Fantasy XIV!We'll dive into the playlists that live inside the book, discuss how music and reading evoke different emotions, and ask Heather the fun, rapid‑fire questions every fan loves—her must‑have desert‑island albums, the live act she'd book for her launch (the Beatles, of course), and the secret song that moves her soul on a deep level.Whether you're a writer seeking a soundtrack, a music lover looking for the next great novel‑playlist hybrid, or simply someone who believes “when the words fail, music speaks,” this episode has something for you. Grab your headphones, press play, and let the conversation between narrative and melody begin.

Shan sat down with artist Tanerélle to dive deep into the world of sacred sexuality and conscious intimacy. Sacred sexuality is more than physical pleasure; it's an intentional way of connecting through energy, presence, and deep emotional awareness. From gentle touch and stillness to moments of shared breath and meditation, it invites a kind of connection that transcends the body and opens the heart. This mindful practice can lead to profound release, heightened pleasure, and a fuller experience of intimacy, from multiple or non-ejaculatory orgasms for men to expansive, layered sensations for women. Plus, Brenden Durell joins to guide a special class in the LOVERS community. We go over sacred sexuality and breathwork, a transformative session on presence, connection, and embodied pleasure.

405 A Love Letter To My Future Self Throughout life there will come times where we must take up our skills and talents as a knight would a sword and shield, wielding our innate and powerful gifts to further our lives for the better. By facing these moments, refusing to make excuses, and instead put in the hard work, we are bound to succeed.  In this episode, Sarah Elkins contemplates the events that lead up to her presence on the TEDX stage, how the encouragement of her closest confidants, the peacefulness of nature on her hikes, and her own self reflection has brought her to this pivotal moment in her life.    Highlights What are you hesitating on? What is giving you pause as you take this next step in your life? How social media and our own personal responsibility can potentially contribute to division. Connecting as a human being is all you need to be to make your life and the lives of those around you more fulfilling. Are you making excuses? Or are you avoiding doing something hard even though it will pay off in the end? You just need to make it exist first, then you can make it perfect.  You are at a summit, but not the summit.   Quotes "Every like, comment, and share, tells the algorithm on every platform exactly what it needs to know to manipulate us." "Our personal stories can reduce loneliness and division when we share them with the intention to connect. Not with the intention to change a person's mind." "You took big risks Sarah, and they paid off! I'm not surprised at all."   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Hard conversations don't usually blow up because of the issue itself. They blow up because of the moves we make in the moment. You've been there: you bring up money, or intimacy, or family dynamics, and suddenly you're in the middle of a fight you didn't want, wondering how it went sideways so fast. The good news? You don't need more guts or more clever comebacks. You need a better playbook. Today I'll teach you the five moves that keep defensiveness low and collaboration high. You'll learn the exact questions to ask, what to do when your partner shuts down, and how to leave the conversation feeling connected instead of defeated.____________________________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/how-to-have-hard-conversations-without-defensiveness Download My Conversation Pocket Guide: https://abbymedcalf.com/convo-guide Join my online community, One Love Collective, on Substack: https://abbymedcalf.com/substack.

What did you do during the COVID-19 social distancing era? Some of us learned to make sourdough, some of us perfected a viral whipped coffee, plenty of us did a whole lot of nothing- but this NYC subculture was busy taking notes.Anna Bounds, a Professor of Sociology at Queens College, has felt called to teach, write, and tell stories for a long time. She's particularly passionate about urban policies that make cities better, stronger and more vibrant.As a sociologist–but also as a New Yorker–she began attending meetings of NYC's "prepper" community: a group of people dedicated to preparing for disasters the government may not be equipped to help with, whether it's a pandemic, terrorist attack or natural disaster.Anna clarifies: they aren't preparing for the end of the world- just whatever kind of day tomorrow might be. She's spent years (including before the pandemic) researching these groups while also learning countless skills for emergency preparation and response."All sorts of interesting people [were] coming together to figure out how to help each other in crisis- and it paid off."So forget viral food trends! This episode pairs best with assembling your emergency kit (and yes, Anna has suggestions for it).Anna's Haiku* ("A Love Letter to the City"):Smoke clings to the skyHands meet through sirens and headlinesLove that doesn't flinch(*With special thanks to Anna's 7th grade teacher)Links:Anna's book, Urban Preppers and the Pandemic in New York City: Class, Resilience, and Sheltering in Place: https://www.annamariabounds.org/urban-preppersAnna's first book, Bracing for the Apocalypse: An Ethnographic Study of New York City's Urban Prepper Subculture: https://www.annamariabounds.org/book/apocalypse

Isaiah 41:10 (ESV) — “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”My beloved daughter,I saw you before you saw yourself this morning—eyes heavy, schedule full, heart already calculating a hundred quiet sacrifices no one will notice. I noticed. I watched you choose gentleness where irritation felt easier. I heard the prayer you whispered while folding laundry, the worship you hummed between errands. Nothing you offer in love is small to Me. I count it all, and I convert it all into eternal weight and legacy.The world tried to rename you—too much, too emotional, too soft. I named you before the world spoke: Mine. I formed you with a strength that confuses darkness because it doesn't strut; it serves. The enemy calls your tears weakness; I call them intercession. He calls your kindness naivety; I call it courage under My command. He calls your surrender defeat; I call it alignment with the Lord of Hosts.Daughter, you do not have to become louder to be powerful. You do not have to harden to be safe. Walk with Me, and I will make your softness a shield and your tenderness a sword. When you forgive, you plunder hell. When you bless your home, you build walls the enemy cannot scale. When you lift your eyes to Me, I lift the burdens you thought you had to carry alone.I am with you in the car line, the meeting, the kitchen, the midnight watch. I am not embarrassed by your exhaustion; I am moved by it. Bring it to Me. Trade your heaviness for My rest. Ask Me for wisdom, and I will pour it out generously. Ask Me for timing, and I will order your steps. Ask Me for courage, and I will clothe you with strength and dignity so you can laugh at the days to come.You are My strategy in this generation—a living sermon of grace and grit. Do not apologize for your design; it reflects My image. Stand tall. Speak life. Guard your heart. Keep your lamp full. I am proud of you—not because you never stumble, but because you keep reaching for My hand. And My hand, daughter, will not let you go.With unending love,Your FatherLet's Get To Work!Thanks for reading My Reasons To Believe!

“Whether or not money comes out of this is yet to be seen. The main thing is—does it help people? Is it spreading a good message? That's ultimately why I'm doing this.” — Heather Snodgrass Actor, author, and debut novelist Heather Snodgrass joins me to talk about her first book, A Love Letter to Reading, a story that blends heart-pounding suspense with deep emotional reflection. A graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Heather shares how her journey from acting to screenwriting to novel writing taught her to embrace creative detours and stay rooted in gratitude. Together, we explore her unconventional protagonist, Scorpion—a pediatric oncologist who moonlights as an assassin—and how writing her story became a form of self-discovery and healing.  Key Takeaways: Transformation through art: Heather's path from acting to writing shows how creative callings evolve—and how storytelling finds new forms when one door closes. A character unlike any other: Her protagonist, Scorpion, is both assassin and healer—an embodiment of duality, morality, and redemption that challenges genre conventions. Writing as therapy: Heather used self-care rituals like gardening and mindfulness to process heavy emotional material, proving that writers must protect their own well-being during intense creative work. The publishing learning curve: She opted for a hybrid publishing model to get her story into readers' hands sooner, highlighting the importance of understanding all paths to publication. Feedback with perspective: Heather learned to balance taking constructive criticism seriously while still trusting her creative instincts—a valuable mindset for any creator. Purpose over profit: Her biggest takeaway—focus on impact, not income. Writing should be about helping others and spreading light, even if the financial rewards come later. Finding inspiration: Movies, music, and other art forms often reignite her creativity—reminding us that to get back into flow, sometimes you must step away from your own work.

Calm your mind. Change your life.

She shares how music became one of the few places that always made sense, how her mom stood by her through the unknown, and how she finally began to remove the mask and meet herself. Later, we bring in expert Maria Davis-Pierre, LMHC, founder of Autism in Black, Inc., to guide a deeper conversation around autism, neurodivergence, intimacy, and how we show up for those we love. Whether you're neurodivergent, in a relationship with someone who is, or simply want to deepen your understanding, this episode invites you to explore how love, safety, and authenticity coexist.

Before Elizabeth Short became known to the world as The Black Dahlia, she was a young woman searching for love and belonging in a world still recovering from war.In this bonus episode, Esther reads excerpts from Elizabeth's personal correspondence with Lt. Joseph Gordon Fickling and Major Matthew “Matt” Gordon — two men who loved her deeply, and who reveal, through their letters, the hopes and heartbreaks of a woman who has too often been reduced to myth.These intimate writings offer a rare glimpse into Elizabeth's voice — tender, romantic, and filled with dreams. Through her words, listeners will discover the woman behind the legend: hopeful, vulnerable, and forever chasing beauty in a world that often failed to show her kindness.

Ever had someone freeze you out of a group text? Spread just enough gossip to make you doubt yourself? Smile to your face while subtly undermining you behind your back? That's not just “drama,” it's a form of bullying called relational aggression, and it can wreck friendships, families, and entire communities if it's left unchecked. It's not just drama. It's emotional sabotage. Today, I'm breaking down what relational aggression really is, why it's so destructive, and the research-backed strategies to protect yourself and stop the cycle, whether you're dealing with family gatherings, sorority politics, or your neighborhood book club._________ Full blog and show notes: https://abbymedcalf.com/relational-aggression-how-to-recognize-it-and-stop-itGet the Relational Aggression Response Scripts: https://abbymedcalf.com/aggression-scripts Join my online community, One Love Collective, on Substack: https://abbymedcalf.com/substack.

Through tears, honesty, and reflection, Chy admits she doesn't know what's next,  and Shan reminds her that she's doing the most important thing of all: staying with herself through it. This episode is for anyone in that place where everything hurts and nothing feels certain. Shan offers tangible guidance on how to move through the fog, from becoming an archaeologist of your own life (digging up the moments you felt love and success before) to remembering Steve Jobs' wisdom that you can't connect the dots looking forward, only backward. The message is simple: you can't rush this part. But if you keep caring for yourself, one day you'll look up and realize, your life doesn't feel so heavy anymore. Follow Chy Fontenette!
