Have you ever found yourself caught in a whirlwind of infatuation, unable to discern between love and obsession? In this conversation, Dr. Alexandra and journalist and author Amanda McCracken discuss limerence, a state of being infatuated or obsessed with another person, typically characterized by a strong desire for reciprocation of one's feelings. Drawing from her compelling new book, When Longing Becomes Your Lover, Amanda shares her personal journey through the complexities of limerence, shedding light on how modern dating practices and social media amplify this intense emotional state. Beyond the macro/cultural factors, you will hear about the individual risk factors that can lead to patterns of limerence, such as painful early experiences and certain neuro-wirings/diagnoses, like ADHD and autism. You will also hear about how Amanda approached healing from her limerent patterns and opened herself up to a healthy, reciprocal intimate partnership.Resources worth mentioning from the episode:When Longing Becomes Your Lover: Breaking from Infatuation, Rejection, and Perfectionism to Find Authentic Love: A True Story of Overcoming Limerence by Amanda McCracken https://bookshop.org/p/books/when-longing-becomes-your-lover-breaking-from-infatuation-rejection-and-perfectionism-to-find-authentic-love-a-true-story-of-overcoming-limerence-a/ef0e30a5bd30e10b?aid=116429&ean=9781546008538&listref=2026-most-anticipated-memoirs-and-essay-collections&next=tLearn more about Amanda McCracken: https://www.amandajmccracken.com/Follow Amanda McCracken on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thelonginglabListen to The Longing Lab Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-longing-lab/id1606581375Dr. Tom Bellamy's Living With Limerence: https://livingwithlimerence.com/about/Reimagining Love episode Crushes, First Love, and Heartbreak: Supporting Teens Through Relationship Milestones with Lisa A.

With Valentine's Day on the horizon, I've been thinking a lot about love…not the chemistry sparking lust….but real love. What does it feel like? What makes it last? And how do you maintain your intimate relationships in a modern world. In my wedding speech, I said that love isn't a grand gesture but the actions you take daily. I don't think I'm naturally good in relationships – I put a lot thought and intention into how I communicate and treat my husband and today's guest was so helpful on my journey to being ready to meet my person. So I wanted to bring you back to this conversation from 2021 with Licensed marriage and family therapist and clinical fellow of the america association of marriage & family therapy AND founder of A Better Life Therapy - Elizabeth Earnshaw.

In this episode, I sit down with Caitlin V, a sex educator and author whose work focuses on intimacy, communication, and long-term relationship dynamics. Caitlin has spent years helping individuals and couples better understand desire, connection, and the often-unspoken issues that quietly erode relationships over time. We discussed how communication breaks down, why people struggle to ask for what they want, and how unspoken expectations erode connection over time. We also talk about common misconceptions around sex, the real value of intimacy in long-term relationships, and what actually helps couples reconnect—not in theory, but in practice. This conversation isn't about shock value or trends; it's about understanding ourselves better, communicating more clearly, and building relationships that don't slowly decay in silence.

Most people are struggling in modern relationships, and it is not because they are broken. It is because the systems around them are. In this episode, you'll learn why roughly 65 percent of people operate from insecure attachment, why that quietly destroys energy, trust, and intimacy, and how secure attachment becomes a critical biohacking upgrade for human performance, longevity, and emotional resilience. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Adam Lane Smith, MA Psych, a leading global expert on Attachment Theory and the neurobiology of human bonding. Adam has spent over 16 years studying and working in psychology, helping individuals, couples, and families repair broken relationships, rebuild trust, and develop secure attachment. His work focuses on skill-based nervous system training rather than talk therapy alone, often creating change in months instead of years. He now runs a global coaching practice and is on a mission to bring secure attachment to one billion people worldwide. Together, Dave and Adam break down why modern dating, career pressure, and social isolation have produced a generation of adults who feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected, and stuck in survival mode. They explain how insecure attachment keeps people operating at low capacity, why bonding hormones like oxytocin and vasopressin regulate stress, sleep optimization, and emotional stability, and how broken attachment patterns sabotage metabolism, focus, and recovery. The conversation also covers AI companionship, dating apps, community collapse, and why no supplement, nootropic, fasting protocol, ketosis strategy, or carnivore diet can fully compensate for unsafe nervous systems. You'll Learn: • Why 65 percent of people struggle with modern relationships • How insecure attachment caps energy, focus, and emotional resilience • Why secure attachment matters more as you age, not less • How bonding hormones regulate stress, sleep, and recovery • Why high performers still burn out without nervous system safety • How men and women experience attachment and regulation differently • Why AI and dating apps can worsen disconnection if used poorly • How community and shared purpose rebuild secure attachment • Why supplements and nootropics cannot replace real connection • Where to start if you want stronger relationships and higher capacity Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Should your partner be your best friend? Is going through your partner's phone ever justified? Are we expecting too much from one person in a relationship?In this episode, we dive into some of the most controversial and honest relationship questions people are afraid to ask. From trust, privacy, and transparency to marriage, intimacy, and raising children, this episode is a raw conversation about what it actually takes to build a healthy, lasting relationship.We discuss why your partner should be your best friend, how comfort can slowly kill romance if you stop being intentional, and why constantly dating your partner matters more than people think. The conversation also tackles one of the biggest modern relationship debates: is checking your partner's phone a red flag or a justified reaction?Later in the episode, we explore whether we're placing unrealistic expectations on our partners—expecting them to be our lover, best friend, emotional support, financial partner, and source of healing all at once. We also talk about marriage, parenthood, sacrifice, perspective, and how life changes once kids enter the picture.This episode is for anyone navigating dating, marriage, long-term relationships, or questioning what a healthy partnership really looks like.

His personal story and candid advice underscore the importance of clearly defined commitments, reminding us that monogamy isn't assumed, it's explicitly agreed upon. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.evanmarckatz.com/blog/communication/what-is-the-definition-of-monogamy Quotes to ponder: "Once you're monogamous, you stop seeing other people."

"Communication, intimacy, commitment, these things look different to everybody."

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:We're mastering business, money, and personal growth — but why does business success often mean that high-achievers feel empty in love?We live in a world that glorifies hustle and independence. Myself included, many of us believe there is a reward for doing everything on our own. Meet Suzanne Raja, co-founder of WarriorSage, who looks at what happens when success comes at the cost of our connection to ourselves and our partner and family.In this episode of the Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, Suzanne explores what it means to be powerful and feminine — to lead without losing softness, to love without surrendering yourself, and to rediscover the intimacy that gets buried under achievement.On whether or not you or your partner is the more successful one, success often means friction in our relationships. This conversation will open your eyes to what's really missing.
What if the way you love — and the way you fight — were both written long before you met your partner? Tony Overbay, LMFT, reveals how your nervous system learned to react to love, conflict, and vulnerability decades before your first date — and how those patterns still show up today. In this episode, Tony introduces Jack and Jill, a fictional couple built from hundreds of real couples he has worked with over 20 years in therapy. Their story illustrates two common attachment patterns — one anxious, one avoidant — and how they collide in the classic pursue-withdraw cycle that leaves both partners feeling unseen, unsafe, and alone. Through relatable narrative, clinical insight, and real-world examples, you'll learn: • How childhood emotional experiences shape relationship expectations • Why your partner's reactions can feel like rejection (even when they aren't) • How anxiety and withdrawal both come from trying to feel safe • Why repeating the same argument isn't failure — it's a nervous system loop • What has to change before communication skills even matter This episode will help you finally understand why you fell for your partner… and why the very things that drew you together now drive you apart. Whether you identify with Jill's pursuit for reassurance or Jack's retreat into silence, you'll start to see the deeper story inside your relationship — the one your body has been telling long before you could put it into words. Stay tuned for Part 2, where Tony will explore an entirely different path — one where emotional safety is modeled, repair is possible, and connection doesn't have to hurt. 00:00 Introduction: The Hidden Stories of Our Reactions 00:41 Understanding Nervous System Responses 02:01 The Impact of Childhood Experiences 02:34 Modern Relationships and Nervous System Patterns 04:08 Meet Jack and Jill: A Case Study 09:09 Jill's Story: A Childhood of Emotional Instability 13:14 Jack's Story: Learning to Withdraw 16:43 Jack and Jill's Relationship Dynamics 21:18 The Pursue-Withdraw Cycle 27:23 Paths to Healing and Connection 29:44 Conclusion: Moving Forward with Awareness Contact Tony at contact@tonyoverbay.com to learn more about his Emotional Architects men's group.

“I don't believe in modern love,” David Bowie belted back in 1983—and it still feels oddly relevant today. This week on the Two Please Podcast, we stress-test that line by exploring modern romance through three films that, together, feel like its best on-screen representatives: Her (Love In The Time of AI), The Materialists (Love In The Time of Capitalism), and Gone Girl (Love In The Time of Self-Loathing). We've jokingly called it our “Before Trilogy of Modern Love,”- one story told across three very different movies. Expect takes on AI intimacy vs human messiness, pragmatism vs passion, why some marriages implode, timely headlines, and a few red flags.

In this episode, host Dana Skaggs sits down with Kristal Desantis to talk about why traditional masculinity is struggling in modern relationships. Kristal describes what she calls the “broken script,” where old-school roles of men as sole protectors and providers clash with today's need for emotional partnership. This leaves a lot of men caught in a “masculinity trap”—criticized for being too stoic but judged when they open up. The two dive into topics like emotional safety, touch starvation, and the pressure to measure up to narrow definitions of worth. Kristal also shares her “STRONG” model, a down-to-earth framework to help men move past performative roles and create healthier, more genuine connections. Kristal's Linkedin Kristal's Website

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and fellow coach, Jonathan Aslay. Jonathan is one of America's leading midlife self-love coaches, and together we dive into what it really takes to create lasting love in today's world. From navigating power dynamics in relationships to building trust, and from self-awareness to the surprising truth about chemistry, this conversation is packed with wisdom for anyone ready to step into a healthier, more fulfilling partnership. Main Takeaways Jonathan emphasizes the importance of being present in relationships. Self-awareness is crucial for building trust and intimacy. Curiosity in conversations can lead to deeper connections. Women should not feel the need to downplay their success in relationships. Building a friendship first can lead to stronger romantic connections. Vulnerability is key to establishing trust in relationships. It's important to communicate openly about uncomfortable topics like money. People often sabotage their love lives due to unresolved past issues. Dating should be approached as a meeting rather than a performance. Age should not be a barrier to finding love. 3 Main Topics 1. Power Dynamics in Relationships (03:33) "When two equal people show up, you can have more co-creative conversations." Explanation: Healthy relationships thrive when both people bring their full selves—financially, emotionally, and energetically—to the table. Avoiding silence around uncomfortable topics like money and expectations allows couples to build partnerships rooted in equality and collaboration. 2. Trust and Speaking Your Truth (09:39) "Speak your truth, just do it from a kind place. If you do it sincerely, you can't say the wrong thing to the right person." Explanation: Trust goes beyond fidelity; it's about knowing the other person has your best interests at heart. Speaking openly and vulnerably—without fear of rejection—creates the safety needed for intimacy and long-term stability. 3. Chemistry and the Friend Zone (22:38) "I realized later why we didn't have that chemistry at first… I had no idea what a secure meeting felt like." Explanation: Many confuse anxiety and butterflies with love, overlooking the steadiness of a secure connection. True intimacy grows from friendship, presence, and appreciation—often blooming where instant “sparks” seem absent. Reframing how chemistry develops can open the door to real, lasting connection.
