Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.Episode 28, Season II: “Running on Empty: Understanding Emotional Burnout, Allostatic Load & The High Cost of Carrying Too Much”In this deeply validating and eye-opening episode of The Love Doc Podcast, Dr. Sarah Hensley and Raina Butcher tackle an issue that is quietly suffocating millions of people; emotional burnout. They break down why so many individuals, especially women, are reaching a breaking point.Dr. Hensley introduces listeners to the scientific concept of allostatic load, the cumulative wear and tear on the body caused by chronic emotional stress. Whether you're navigating overwhelming responsibilities at work, carrying the mental load of a household, juggling the emotional needs of children, or fighting for connection in an insecurely attached relationship, the body registers every single demand. And eventually, it keeps the score.Dr. Hensley dives into the physiological reality of what happens when the emotional gas tank runs dry. She explains how constant stress dysregulates hormone production—particularly cortisol, adrenaline, and estrogen-progesterone balance—leading to symptoms like brain fog, irritability, emotional numbness, sleep disruption, inflammation, lowered immunity, hair loss, weight fluctuations, and difficulty accessing joy. Raina shares her own experiences with emotional overload, offering listeners a relatable window into what it feels like when your body quietly whispers… then suddenly screams… that enough is enough.Together, they illuminate how burnout is not a personal failure but a biological response to chronic, unrelenting demand. But this conversation isn't just about naming the problem—it's about offering a path forward. Dr. Hensley teaches listeners how to increase their emotional capacity by building a bigger “gas tank,” strengthening the nervous system through consistent, intentional regulation practices, realistic boundaries, appropriate rest cycles, and emotional processing skills. She reminds listeners that while humans are adaptable, we were never designed to live in perpetual survival mode. Our nervous systems were built for presence, connection, slowness, joy, and manageable stress—not the endless mental gymnastics required of modern life.This episode is heartfelt, honest, and profoundly hopeful, offering not just insight but compassion for everyone walking through the heaviness of emotional depletion.Tune in to The Love Doc Podcast every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert insights, and the guidance you need to navigate love and relationships in today's world.

This episode blends psychology, attachment science, and deeply personal storytelling as the hosts break down why the Fearful Avoidant carries some of the most profoun, and most painful emotional wounds out of all the attachment styles. Together, they explore how the FA's lifelong push-pull pattern begins in childhood, where one or both caregivers were emotionally inconsistent, unpredictable, or unavailable. Many Fearful Avoidants grew up in homes where they had no idea which version of their caregiver they would get on any given day—loving and attentive, or distant, overwhelmed, unstable, or even frightening. This led the FA child to live in a constant state of hypervigilance, subconsciously scanning the environment for emotional danger. At a very young age, they began asking a silent but devastating question:“If the people who are supposed to love me can't show up for me consistently… who ever will?” Dr. Hensley digs into why this early inconsistency wires the FA nervous system for contradiction: craving closeness while bracing for pain, longing for love while fearing it may not be real or safe. The episode highlights how this attachment style becomes the most emotionally aware—attuned to every shift, every tone, every expression—yet often feels the least emotionally secure. That heightened awareness becomes both their superpower and their deepest source of suffering.Throughout the discussion, Dr. Hensley and Raina reflect on their former FA behaviors. These stories help listeners feel seen, understood, and far less alone. The episode also unpacks how emotional pain lands differently for the Fearful Avoidant—often as intense overwhelm that triggers shutting down, lashing out, or pushing away the very person they love. Yet behind these behaviors lies a person with deep emotional intelligence who never learned consistent emotional safety.By the end of the episode, listeners gain a compassionate and clear understanding of why the Fearful Avoidant is both deeply sensitive and deeply guarded, highly intuitive yet profoundly unsure of their own worthiness, and why healing requires a blend of emotional safety, self-awareness, and stability. This episode offers a rare blend of science and lived experience that will give every fearful avoidant, or the partner of a fearful avoidant, a deeper sense of understnading and compassion for this attachment style.

Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Love Doc Relationship Coaching Services with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting, LLC. Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.Episode 25, Season II: "Plant-Based Interventions for PTSD & CPTSD"In this episode, Dr. Hensley dives into the rapidly growing field of plant-based trauma interventions and what current research is beginning to reveal about their potential to support healing from PTSD and Complex PTSD (CPTSD). She begins by breaking down the key differences between PTSD — which often develops from a single traumatic event — and CPTSD, which develops from long-term emotional, relational, or developmental trauma. Dr. Hensley also highlights the strong correlation between CPTSD and Fearful Avoidant attachment, explaining how chronic trauma impacts the nervous system's capacity for closeness, trust, and emotional stability.Drawing from her background as a researcher and scientist, Dr. Hensley brings her signature ability to translate complex research into clear, digestible insight. She examines emerging studies exploring cannabis as a trauma-informed intervention, including how it interacts with the endocannabinoid system and why certain compounds may support emotional regulation, memory reconsolidation, and nervous system downregulation in trauma recovery. She discusses what the evidence suggests, what remains inconclusive, and what to consider when exploring cannabis in a therapeutic context rather than recreational use.The episode then shifts into the evolving research surrounding psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychedelic compound. While Dr. Hensley has not personally conducted research in either of these areas, she has deeply analyzed the current scientific literature, offering a balanced and grounded perspective on what early clinical trials are demonstrating — particularly regarding emotional processing, neural flexibility, self-compassion, and the ability to access emotions that may otherwise be suppressed. This conversation is not about endorsement, persuasion, or advocating a particular treatment — but rather education, curiosity, and informed awareness. The research in this field is still developing, but it is undeniably promising for the future of trauma recovery and attachment repair.Disclaimer:The information shared in this episode is for educational purposes only and is not intended as medical, psychiatric, or clinical treatment advice.

In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.Episode 24, Season II: The Science Behind HealingIn this follow-up to last week's deeply personal episode with her dear friend Ashley, Dr. Sarah Hensley takes listeners on a profound exploration into the science behind healing — continuing the conversation that began with her story of faith.While her previous episode centered on her personal healing journey through Christ, this week Dr. Hensley expands on how faith and science beautifully intertwine — because, as she believes, faith is the very foundation of science itself.This episode speaks directly to those who want to understand the scientific how — the psychological and neurological processes that underlie emotional healing. Dr. Hensley unpacks the science of the brain, emotional regulation, and the rewiring of neural pathways that allow us to create new, healthier responses to emotional pain, conflict, and relational distress.She emphasizes that knowledge alone isn't power — it's the application of knowledge through capacity building that truly transforms us. Healing, she explains, happens when we move from intellectual understanding into embodied emotional processing.In classic “Love Doc” fashion, Dr. Hensley cuts through the noise of overcomplicated therapeutic frameworks by focusing on simplicity and mastery. She reveals how her own programs are built around just two core emotional skills — the essential foundations needed to effectively process emotions and build true relational resilience.Throughout the episode, Dr. Hensley gives credit to the pioneering scientists and psychologists whose decades of research paved the way for her work. She honors their contributions while also highlighting where she found critical gaps in the existing research — gaps that inspired her to develop her own trademarked emotional processing framework.By the end of this episode, listeners will understand not just what emotional healing is, but how it happens — from a neurological, psychological, and practical standpoint. If you've ever wanted to grasp the real, science-backed process behind transformation — and learn the same tools Dr. Hensley teaches her clients every day inside her practice — this episode is a must-listen.Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.Episode 23 | Season II “The Wisest Person Dr. Hensley Has Ever Met”In this powerful and deeply moving episode, Dr. Sarah Hensley introduces listeners to someone who has been quietly woven into the fabric of her story for many years—her dear friend Ashley Endenstrom. If you've been a loyal listener, you've likely heard Dr. Hensley mention Ashley many times, often referring to her as the vessel that led her to seek a relationship with Jesus.The episode begins with Ashley courageously sharing her personal testimony—one shaped by heartbreak, unwavering faith, and profound redemption. From the pain of failed relationships to being told she would never bear children, and even the devastating loss of a child, Ashley's story is nothing short of miraculous. Today, she is the proud and joy-filled mother of five healthy children, all conceived naturally. Her journey is one of hope, perseverance, and the transformative power of faith.As the conversation unfolds, Dr. Hensley opens up about the pivotal season in her life when God placed Ashley in her path. It was a time marked by unimaginable pain: the loss of her ex-husband, navigating grief with her children, her mother's cancer diagnosis, a turbulent relationship with a dismissive avoidant partner, and even a painful fracture in her friendship with Raina. Through Ashley's steadfast faith and presence, God worked powerfully—restoring, healing, and holding space for Sarah in ways that would change her life forever.Throughout the episode, Ashley offers multiple Bible verses that beautifully reflect the unwavering love and grace of Christ, weaving scripture into real-life moments of redemption and resilience. Dr. Hensley also reflects on the many pieces of wisdom Ashley has poured into her life over the years—what she lovingly calls “Ashleyisms.” These are the heartfelt phrases, profound one-liners, and gentle truths that have anchored Sarah in some of her most difficult seasons. Many of these sayings have become personal touchstones for Dr. Hensley, quietly shaping her faith, her healing, and the way she shows up in her practice and in her life.Listeners will hear all three women's personal faith journeys and how they have grown and deepened over the years—and how their relationship with Christ has enriched every part of their lives.Important Note: This episode is deeply Christian-based and speaks openly and candidly about faith in Jesus Christ. Both Raina and Dr. Hensley believe in creating an inclusive space for everyone while honoring their personal spiritual journeys. If this message doesn't align with your beliefs, feel free to skip this episode with love and respect.For those who are seeking a closer connection with God—or are simply curious about what that might look like—this episode offers a heartfelt invitation to experience Christ's love. Ashley's gentle wisdom, combined with Dr. Hensley and Raina's shared reflections, create a deeply intimate conversation about faith, healing, and divine love.The central message of this episode is beautifully simple yet profoundly true: God is Love.And if you are searching for more in your life—more peace, more meaning, more connection, more healing—our hope is that you'll open your heart to the possibility of that love.Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

10-21-25 New Mexico United Owner-CEO Peter Trevisani joins TEAM Talk to preview United's Regular season final & Prepare for the Playoffs
Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Love Doc Relationship Coaching Services with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting, LLC. Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.Episode 22, Season II — “When the Spark Fades: Healing Sex, Shame, and Connection After Kids”In this powerful and deeply intimate episode, Dr. Sarah Hensley sits down with licensed couples and sex therapist Dr. Rebecca Howard Eudy, author of the newly released book "A Guide to Great Sex After Kids," to talk about one of the most quietly painful topics many couples face—what happens to intimacy after children. Together, they pull back the curtain on the real, research-backed struggles couples encounter as they try to reconnect sexually amid exhaustion, identity shifts, and the invisible weight of modern parenting.Dr. Eudy, like Dr. Hensley, draws on attachment science to explain how emotional safety is the foundation of erotic safety. When partners feel unseen, unvalidated, or emotionally disconnected, the body interprets closeness as pressure rather than pleasure. Dr. Eudy and the host discuss how postpartum changes, stress, and shifting roles can quietly activate old attachment wounds—anxious partners fearing rejection, avoidant partners withdrawing under the weight of expectation—and how rebuilding emotional intimacy often becomes the key to reviving sexual desire.They also dive head-on into the topic of sexual shame, a quiet force that can fracture even the strongest partnerships. Dr. Eudy beautifully normalizes that nearly everyone carries some form of sexual trauma—whether from past relationships, body image conditioning, or religious and cultural scripts—and she reminds listeners that this doesn't make anyone broken. Instead, she frames it as an invitation to heal. Through gentle language and tangible examples, she shows how curiosity, self-compassion, and vulnerability can transform shame into connection.Another core theme of the episode is self-exploration—both emotional and physical. Dr. Eudy highlights the importance of learning your own body again after children, reclaiming desire through self-pleasure, and maintaining openness about what truly feels good. Masturbation, body awareness, and honest communication aren't just acts of indulgence, she explains—they're pathways back to self-ownership and authenticity, the very things that sustain long-term intimacy.By the end of the episode, Dr. Hensley and Dr. Eudy remind listeners that great sex isn't just about chemistry or technique; it's about the emotional and relational ecosystem in which that intimacy lives. When couples learn to meet one another's emotional needs, regulate their nervous systems, and release the weight of shame, they don't just revive their sex lives—they rediscover safety, joy, and connection in every corner of their relationship. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who has ever wondered where their spark went—and who's ready to bring it back, with compassion, science, and a renewed sense of wholeness.Please checkout Dr. Rebecca Eudy and her newly released book at:Rebeccaeudy.comInstagram @rebeccahowardeudy.comBook: https://www.amazon.com/Parents-Love-Guide-Great-After/dp/1683738551Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Love Doc Relationship Coaching Services with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting, LLC. Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.In this powerful and deeply illuminating episode Dr. Sarah Hensley in Social Psychology, and Raina Butcher dive into one of the most misunderstood emotional landscapes in attachment science: the inner world of the Dismissive Avoidant. For decades, the dismissive avoidant has been stereotyped as cold, unfeeling, and incapable of emotional depth. But Dr. Hensley dismantles that myth with compassion and scientific clarity. Beneath their carefully constructed armor lies some of the deepest, oldest pain of all the attachment styles—a pain so profound that many DA's have learned to dissociate from it entirely just to survive.Dr. Hensley traces these wounds back to their roots in childhood. Many dismissive avoidants grew up in environments where emotional needs were consistently minimized, ignored, or even shamed. A child who learns that their emotional world is unsafe or “too much” often adapts by shutting it down altogether. That shutdown becomes their survival strategy—one they unknowingly carry into adulthood. But here's the truth that often goes unseen: that shutdown is not the absence of feeling; it is the presence of invisible pain. Pain from years of not being held emotionally. Pain from learning early on that vulnerability equals danger. Pain that becomes so overwhelming that the only way to cope is to turn it off.Inside adult romantic relationships, this creates a painful paradox. The DA's partner often experiences the excruciating sting of their distance—their tendency to pull away when connection deepens, their inability to express what's going on internally, their preference for solitude over closeness. But underneath that distance is a nervous system that is terrified of being emotionally seen as too much or dismissed for feeling. Their detachment isn't because they don't care. It's because the pain is simply too much to face. Dr. Hensley and Raina explore how healing for dismissive avoidants isn't about “learning more.” It's about learning how to build capacity around feeling safely for the first time. And when they do heal—when they slowly reconnect with the parts of themselves they've locked away for years—many report experiencing real joy for the first time in their adult lives. Joy in connection. Joy in trust. Joy in finally coming home to themselves. As Dr. Hensley shares, this journey requires a gentle, measured, and safe container—one that honors their pace rather than overwhelms it. That's exactly why The Love Doc Hybrid Group Coaching Program has become a powerful healing space for so many dismissive avoidants. The program allows participants to remain anonymous if they choose, and the information is micro-dosed in digestible layers, so DA's can process at their own speed without pressure or exposure. In fact, many FA/DA couples who've gone through Dr. Hensley's program report breakthroughs they once thought were impossible.Whether you love someone with a dismissive avoidant attachment style—or you are one—this episode offers both scientific insight and a path forward. Pain may have shaped their past, but it does not have to define their future.Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.Episode 19, Season II: “Attachment Across the Generations: How Our Past Shapes Our Present”In this episode of The Love Doc Podcast, Dr. Sarah Hensley dives into a thought-provoking exploration of how attachment styles have been shaped and reshaped across multiple generations. While research in this area is still developing, Dr. Hensley shares her insights, blending the data we do have with her own professional expertise and observations from years of working with clients. Together, she and Raina reflect on how cultural norms, economic conditions, and parenting trends have influenced the way each generation both experiences and passes down attachment.We begin with The Greatest Generation aka the Silent Generation (1928–1945), who were shaped by the Great Depression and World War II. Their attachment strategies often leaned toward survival, self-sacrifice, and stoicism—traits that helped them endure hardship but often left emotional needs unspoken. This foundation directly influenced the Baby Boomers (1946–1964), who grew up in a time of post-war prosperity, suburban expansion, and cultural shifts. While this generation had greater stability, many were raised by emotionally distant parents still carrying war scars, creating a paradox of material abundance alongside emotional gaps.Next, we move to Generation X (1965–1980), often called the “latchkey kids.” With both parents working and divorce rates climbing, many Gen X children learned independence early but often struggled with consistent emotional attunement at home. This set the stage for Millennials (1981–1996), who came of age in a rapidly globalizing world of technology, economic instability, and shifting social values. Millennials were raised with more open conversations about emotions but also felt the weight of high expectations, student debt, and uncertain futures—all of which influence how they form and sustain attachments today.Finally, we turn to Gen Z (1997–2012) and Gen Alpha (2013–present), the most digital-native generations. Gen Z has grown up amidst political polarization, social media pressures, and the mental health crisis, shaping a cohort that is both highly self-aware and often highly anxious. Gen Alpha, still in childhood, is being raised by Millennials who are more intentional about emotional intelligence, attachment security, and breaking cycles—but also parenting in a world defined by technology, climate concerns, and shifting cultural landscapes.Dr. Hensley and Raina bring compassion and clarity to this conversation, showing how the ripple effects of one generation's experiences can echo for decades. At the heart of the discussion is a message of hope: while each generation carries wounds, each also has the opportunity to break cycles, build secure attachments, and create healthier family units for the future.Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

Kim Beckinsale and Alina McMaster, both in their mid-50s, race with Mountain Designs Wild Women, along with their teammates Cass Kimlin and Del Lloyd, who are both over 40. The team made history last year by becoming the first all-female team to win the 450 km Legend Expedition Race along Australia's Great Ocean Road, finishing in 73:09:27 and outracing men half their age. They unpack how women-only team chemistry—less ego, more communication, and strategic towing/help—can be a superpower over multi-day, map-and-compass courses on little sleep. They also share how their training has evolved with age (fewer “flog yourself” sessions, sharper intensity, bigger recovery) and how menopause shows up (heat management, sleep shifts, mood) without slowing performance. Kim and Alina are currently at Expedition Canada 2025, getting ready to tackle a 750+ km trek–bike–paddle course starting September 25.

In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.Episode 18, Season II: "Holding onto Hope in the Midst of Pain"In this week's episode of The Love Doc Podcast, Dr. Hensley and Raina lean into one of the most powerful forces we can carry with us through life's darkest seasons—hope.So often, when we walk through trauma, loss, or deep relational pain, it feels as though hope is the first thing to vanish. Whether we're wrestling with the aftermath of PTSD and CPTSD, navigating heartbreak, or enduring circumstances that seem impossible to recover from, hopelessness can take root quickly. But science and lived experience both show us something remarkable: hope has the ability to transform the nervous system, soften the impact of trauma, and ignite the possibility of change.Dr. Hensley and Raina dive into the differences between hope and faith, exploring how these two forces weave together. Faith, they share, is the unseen—it's trusting in something bigger than ourselves. Hope, however, is the present—it's the silver lining we can cling to even in the middle of heartbreak, the light that helps us breathe through the shadows. Together, faith and hope create a bridge between what is and what can be.Through raw honesty and deeply personal stories, both hosts open up about seasons in their own lives when hope was the only thing they had to hold onto. Their reflections remind us that while pain may shape us, it doesn't have to define us. When hope enters the room, everything begins to shift—our perspective, our choices, and the way we show up for ourselves and others.This episode is more than just a conversation; it's an invitation. An invitation to believe that even in the hardest, most heartbreaking circumstances, hope can still bloom. And when it does, it has the power to rewire our brains, reframe our stories, and restore our joy.

In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.Episode 17: “Restoring Human Decency: Choosing Kindness in a Divided World”In the aftermath of heartbreaking tragedy and the loss of Charlie Kirk, our nation is once again faced with a sobering reality: we are not just battling political division, but something much deeper—an erosion of human decency. In this episode of The Love Doc Podcast, Dr. Sarah Hensley and co-host Raina Joy step away from political rhetoric to reflect on what it truly means to be human, to choose kindness, and to build bridges rather than walls.Together, they explore how acts of violence and hatred are not simply social or cultural issues, but signs of spiritual warfare. Scripture reminds us that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers” (Ephesians 6:12). These moments of darkness reveal the demonic forces at work in our world—seeking to divide, destroy, and corrupt. Yet even in this brokenness, we are called to be light-bearers, choosing love, compassion, and healthy discourse over bitterness and blame.Dr. Sarah and Raina also speak to the growing epidemic of mental illness and intrusive, demonic thoughts that plague so many in today's society. They remind listeners that behind every belief, every action, and every worldview is a story. When we approach others with curiosity and empathy rather than condemnation, we open the door to true understanding and healing.This episode is a heartfelt call to return to human decency—to remember that kindness matters, that every person carries wounds we cannot see, and that disagreement does not have to mean division. By grounding ourselves in faith, leaning into compassion, and recognizing the spiritual battle we are all in, we can begin to heal not only our relationships but also the heart of our nation.If you've been searching for a message of hope, love, and unity in a time of confusion and grief, this conversation will encourage you to anchor yourself in what matters most: faith, empathy, and the unwavering power of human decency.Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Love Doc Relationship Coaching Services with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting, LLC. Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.Episode 16 - “Breaking Free from Fear: How to Stop Letting It Run Your Life and Ruin Your Relationships”Fear is one of the most powerful forces shaping our choices, our relationships, and the way we show up in the world. In this episode of The Love Doc Podcast, Dr. Sarah Hensley and co-host Raina Joy dive deep into the psychology of fear, how it hides beneath the surface of our nervous system, how it gets wired in early experiences, and how it quietly dictates our patterns in love, conflict, and connection. Fear often masquerades as self-protection. It convinces us to shut down instead of lean in, to control instead of trust, to react instead of respond. Left unchecked, fear doesn't just cause anxiety, it erodes intimacy, sabotages our communication, and keeps us locked in cycles that feel impossible to break. Drawing on nearly two decades of attachment science and relational psychology, Dr. Sarah explains how fear is tied to our nervous system's survival responses and why “pushing through it” rarely works for long. But this conversation goes beyond science. Raina and Dr. Sarah also explore the deeper spiritual dimensions of fear, bringing their strong Christian faith into the dialogue. They reference scriptures like “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7), highlighting how God's design for us is rooted not in bondage to fear but in freedom, love, and courage. Together, they weave psychology and spirituality into a holistic understanding of why fear shows up, and how we can begin to release it. Most importantly, this episode doesn't just name the problem, it offers a path forward. Dr. Sarah and Raina share practical steps for loosening fear's grip on your life, from nervous system capacity-building strategies, to reorienting your mindset, to leaning into the promises of God. You'll learn how to recognize when fear is running your decisions, how to cultivate safety within yourself, and how to start showing up in relationships with greater faith, confidence, and emotional resilience. If fear has been dictating your choices, your relationships, or your sense of self-worth, this episode is an invitation to step into a different story, one of courage, clarity, and connection.Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

In this inspiring episode of The Love Doc Podcast, Dr. Sarah Hensley and Raina sit down with actress, creative consultant, and self-published author Lauran September to explore the transformative role of play in our relationships, our creativity, and our spiritual healing. Drawing from her book, "Playful Healing," and her rich background in acting and improv, Lauran invites us to rediscover play as a sacred doorway back to joy, self-expression, and connection.Research has long shown that play is not just a pastime for children, it is essential to human flourishing at every age. Play therapy, for instance, has been used for decades as a way to process trauma, unlock hidden emotions, and reconnect people with their inner child. In this episode,the hosts and Lauran illuminate how those same principles can be applied to our adult lives and romantic partnerships. When we allow ourselves to be playful with our partners, we move beyond performance and routine, opening the door to intimacy, laughter, and deep emotional safety.The conversation doesn't stop at relationships; it goes deeper into the spiritual essence of play. As Lauran shares, play is at the heart of who we are as creators, as lovers, and as human beings. It softens the nervous system, nourishes the soul, and reminds us that life is not just about survival, it's about delight, spontaneity, audacity and authentic expression. Through personal stories, professional insights, and spiritual reflections, Dr. Hensley, Raina and Lauran explore how engaging in playful acts can help us heal old wounds, reawaken joy, and reconnect with the divine spark of creativity that lives within us all.If you've ever felt weighed down by the seriousness of life or the heaviness of unresolved pain, this episode is an invitation to return to wonder. To laugh. To explore. To play. Because when we let ourselves play, we're not just entertaining ourselves, we're healing, connecting, and remembering who we truly are.You can find Lauran September on Tik-Tok @artisfaewellness and Instagram @ancientheart333Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

8-26-25 NM United Owner-CEO Peter Trevisani joins the program ( @newmexicoutd @pt4747 )
Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Love Doc Relationship Coaching Services with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting, LLC. Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.In this uplifting episode of The Love Doc Podcast, Dr. Hensley and Raina welcome Joe Dillon, co-founder of Equitable Mediation Services and a seasoned expert in divorce mediation. As a powerful continuation of our Family Court Series, this episode offers listeners a beacon of hope—clear, compassionate alternatives to conventional court separation and custody disputes.Joe brings both personal insight and profound expertise to this conversation. Inspired by his own experience as a child of divorce who witnessed the emotionally devastating effects of lawyer-driven litigation, Joe's mission is rooted in preventing similar trauma from impacting other families. With over 17 years of private mediation practice under his belt—and an MBA in finance, plus training from prestigious institutions such as Harvard, MIT, and Northwestern—he combines emotional intelligence and financial savviness to guide couples toward fair, collaborative outcomes.One of the most compelling parts of the discussion centers on the "interest-based negotiation" model Joe champions—an approach that shifts focus from entrenched positions to underlying needs and shared goals. Joe explains how mediation fosters "win-win" agreements and dramatically reduces costs and emotional damage compared to traditional litigation, which he notes can reach as high as $200,000—the equivalent of a four-year college education.This episode also shines a spotlight on Joe's pioneering role in virtual mediation—a service he launched in 2011, well before many embraced remote alternatives during the pandemic. His practices empower families across numerous states (California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Washington State) to engage in thoughtful, structured mediation from any location.Throughout the episode, Joe extends tangible resources: from free courses, helpful blogs, and consultation options available through Equitable Mediation, to advice on designing “roommate agreements” when post-divorce couples find it necessary to continue co-habitating for financial or logistical reasons. This episode explores why mediators aren't just facilitators—they're peace architects, helping couples untangle complex emotional and financial decisions in ways that protect children, relationships, and dignity.Why This Episode Matters for Our ListenersOffers a Practical Alternative to LitigationThrough Joe's personal journey and his data-backed approach, listeners can discover a kinder, more constructive path out of marriage or parent-child tension that preserves both stability and civility.Reduces Financial and Emotional TollAs Joe highlights, mediation not only lowers the fiscal burden of divorce but also shields families—especially children—from the trauma of court conflict.Accessible Anywhere, AnytimeJoe's virtual-first model makes mediation accessible regardless of geography, fitting seamlessly into modern, busy lives.Provides Real-World Tools and EmpowermentFrom negotiation frameworks to free educational content and flexible agreements, this episode equips listeners with knowledge, hope, and actionable steps.Episode 14 isn't just another episode—it's a lifeline for families navigating the storm of separation. Joe Dillon will show you that healing, fairness, and hope are possible—even when the path seems steep. Mediation isn't just a process; it's a bridge to a new chapter defined by cooperation and compassion.You can find Joe and all his services at https://www.equitablemediation.com/Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

8-19-25 New Mexico United Owner-CEO Peter Trevisani joins TEAM Talk as United hits the road to take Louisville City FC
Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Love Doc Relationship Coaching Services with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting, LLC. Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.In this episode of The Love Doc Podcast, Dr. Sarah Hensley dives into one of the most timely and overlooked threats to modern love: the use of artificial intelligence in romantic relationships. While AI has incredible benefits in education, work, and even self-development, when it crosses into the territory of our most intimate connections, the risks are profound. Dr. Hensley unpacks the psychological cost of outsourcing our communication, validation, and even emotional expression to machines, revealing how this can quietly erode both our sense of self and the trust between partners.Through the lens of attachment science, Dr. Hensley explores how AI dependency interacts with each attachment style in unique but equally damaging ways. For the anxious-preoccupied, AI can become a dangerous validation trap, another addictive tool to soothe insecurity temporarily, but one that deepens dependency rather than fostering true relational safety. For the fearful-avoidant, AI may fuel cycles of hyperfixation and overthinking, intensifying inner conflict and emotional spiraling when they lean into their anxious side. And for the dismissive-avoidant, AI can become a shield that distances them further, providing ready-made responses that bypass vulnerability, intimacy, and the emotional presence their partners need.Dr. Hensley also sheds light on the broader psychological consequences of allowing machines to mediate human love. When we turn to AI for reassurance, scripted intimacy, or conflict resolution, we bypass the messy, imperfect, yet profoundly human work of building trust and resilience with another person. Over time, this reliance can stunt emotional growth, dilute authenticity, and undermine the very skills necessary for a healthy, secure partnership.Ultimately, Dr. Hensley reminds listeners that human connection is our deepest need and most vital resource. AI can be a useful tool in many aspects of life, but when it comes to love, discernment and moderation are essential. True intimacy requires presence, honesty, and vulnerability, things no algorithm can replicate. This episode is both a cautionary tale and a call to return to the raw, real, irreplaceable art of human connection.Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

8-12-25 New Mexico United Owner-CEO Peter Trevisani joins TEAM Talk ahead of United's match vs. Las Vegas Lights
Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Love Doc Relationship Coaching Services with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting, LLC. Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.Episode 12: Mastering the Conscious Mind – The Key to Directing Your Life and RelationshipsIn this eye-opening episode of The Love Doc Podcast, Dr. Sarah Hensley takes listeners deep into the fascinating world of the conscious mind—what it is, how it works, and why learning to harness its power is one of the most important skills you can develop for both personal growth and relationship health. Building on the foundation she laid in Season 1, Episode 2 on the subconscious mind, Dr. Hensley explores how the conscious and subconscious interact, and how we can use the part of the mind we can control to influence the part we often think we can't.From a scientific perspective, the conscious mind is the realm of active thought—the internal narrator, the “little voice in your head,” the part of you that reasons, decides, and chooses. Dr. Hensley explains how this mental space is rooted in specific regions of the brain, such as the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making, self-control, and planning. Unlike the subconscious, which runs much of our behavior on autopilot, the conscious mind allows us to pause, evaluate, and redirect our thoughts and actions. This distinction is critical in relationships, where automatic patterns—often rooted in attachment wounds—can derail connection if left unchecked.Dr. Hensley draws on both neuroscience and attachment theory to show how training the conscious mind can dramatically shift the way we respond to relational triggers. She highlights studies demonstrating that when we intentionally engage the conscious mind—through mindfulness, deliberate self-reflection, and reframing—we can rewire neural pathways, reduce emotional reactivity, and replace destructive cycles with healthier patterns. This process, known as neuroplasticity, is not just theoretical; it's the scientific foundation for real, lasting change in how we love, communicate, and resolve conflict.Listeners will learn practical strategies for strengthening the conscious mind's influence over the subconscious, from daily awareness practices to cognitive-behavioral techniques that Dr. Hensley uses in her coaching work. She explains how developing this skill allows us to respond thoughtfully instead of reacting impulsively, creating more safety, trust, and intimacy in our relationships. By taking charge of the thoughts we feed our subconscious, we can literally train our brains to default toward healthier beliefs, more secure attachment behaviors, and a deeper sense of connection.If you've ever felt like you were stuck on emotional autopilot or powerless against old patterns, this episode will give you the tools and understanding to reclaim control. And for a full picture of how the mind works, don't forget to revisit Season 1, Episode 2, where Dr. Hensley unpacks the subconscious mind and its powerful role in shaping our lives. Together, these episodes offer a roadmap for aligning your thoughts, beliefs, and actions—helping you create the life and relationships you truly want.Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

8-5-25 New Mexico United Owner-CEO Peter Trevisani joins TEAM Talk
Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Love Doc Relationship Coaching Services with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting, LLC. Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.Episode 11 – “Betrayal by the Dollar: The Hidden Wounds of Financial Infidelity”In this raw and eye-opening episode of The Love Doc Podcast, Dr. Sarah Hensley and co-host Raina Joy Butcher dive deep into one of the most overlooked yet devastating forms of betrayal in romantic relationships: financial infidelity. Continuing their powerful financial series, Episode 11 unpacks the hidden dynamics behind the misuse of money in intimate partnerships — not just as a resource, but as a tool of control, secrecy, and even revenge. With real-life stories, personal reflections, and clinical insight, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and guidance for those silently suffering in relationships where money is used as a weapon instead of a shared value.The episode begins by examining financial control and coercion — two insidious forms of financial infidelity that leave many partners emotionally paralyzed and psychologically trapped. Whether it's one partner dictating all financial decisions, withholding access to accounts, or using money to manipulate behaviors and choices, the hosts expose how financial power plays erode trust, dignity, and a sense of partnership. Many victims of this type of control feel emotionally blackmailed into staying, even when they desperately want to leave. Dr. Hensley and Raina highlight how the shame, fear, and isolation surrounding financial coercion often go unnoticed — yet the consequences are long-lasting and deeply damaging to a person's mental health and autonomy.The conversation then moves into secret spending, a subtler but equally destructive form of financial infidelity. From hidden credit cards to secret online purchases, the hosts unpack how these actions become betrayals of both financial trust and emotional intimacy. Often rooted in guilt, resentment, or unmet needs, secret spending fractures the foundation of honesty that secure relationships are built on. Listeners will hear why this behavior often creates a growing emotional gap — one that's harder to repair than many realize. Dr. Hensley offers a compassionate take on the underlying insecurities and attachment wounds that often drive this type of behavior, providing listeners with language to recognize and address it in their own relationships.The episode culminates in a candid and courageous discussion on revenge spending, the reactive, emotionally-charged use of money in the aftermath of a major relationship rupture. Whether it's a response to a heated argument or triggered by a partner's request for separation or divorce, revenge spending becomes a way to assert power or express hurt. Dr. Hensley and Raina both open up about their childhood experiences with financial conflict — Sarah recalling the volatility of her father's financial behaviors, and Raina reflecting on how her mother's money choices strained her parents' marriage both during and excspecially post divorce. These powerful personal stories shed light on how early money dynamics shape our adult relationships and sense of self-worth. They also reflect on their own romantic relationships, sharing moments where money became a source of pain, confusion, and reflection.To close the episode, Dr. Hensley offers practical and preventative guidance for couples looking to protect their relationship from financial betrayal. She shares thoughtful, research-based strategies to establish financial transparency, healthy boundaries, and ongoing dialogue about money as a shared value rather than a hidden battlefield. With warmth and wisdom, this episode affirms that while financial infidelity can feel like an invisible rupture, healing is possible with honesty, accountability, and mutual respect. If you've ever felt like money was used against you instead of with you in a relationship — or if you're simply ready to build healthier financial habits with your partner — this episode is a must-listen.Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

With a deeply rooted background in both education and psychology, Coach Elizabeth brings a unique and powerful blend of empathy, wisdom, and joyful presence to every coaching interaction. Having taught students at every grade level from kindergarten through 12th grade, her transition into relationship coaching felt like a natural extension of her lifelong passion for helping others grow, heal, and thrive.

Elizabeth's warm, non-judgmental approach is deeply inspired by the groundbreaking work of Dr. Allan Schore, whose research on joy-based attachment and right-brain emotional regulation highlights the healing potential of emotionally attuned relationships. Elizabeth coaches from a place of deep compassion and trust, creating a secure space where clients feel safe to explore, evolve, and reconnect with themselves and their partners.Throughout the episode, Dr. Hensley poses thoughtful questions about what Coach Elizabeth sees most often in her coaching practice—especially regarding attachment styles and their impact on modern relationships. Coach Elizabeth offers her insight into the most common patterns she sees in her clients and shares her favorite attachment style to coach (you might be surprised!). She also reflects on one of her most memorable client success stories, offering an inspiring glimpse into how powerful the journey of healing and connection can be with the right support. The conversation naturally flows into topics around life-coaching balance, and how both women strive to model sustainable emotional care—both for their clients and themselves.To close, listeners are given a deeper look into Coach Elizabeth's extensive training and passionate philosophy. Elizabeth Pomeroy holds a Master's degree in Counseling from Asbury University and is certified directly by Dr. Hensley in attachment-based relationship coaching. She is formally trained in trauma-informed care, attachment theory, and the science of human interaction. With a calming presence and deep emotional insight, Elizabeth specializes in healing attachment wounds, nurturing healthy communication patterns, and integrating faith-based healing strategies where desired. She believes wholeheartedly that humans are wired for connection—but sometimes need guidance navigating the complexities of love. Her coaching is grounded, joyful, and deeply transformative, helping clients bridge the gap between where they are in their relationships and where they long to be.Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.

Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Love Doc Relationship Coaching Services with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting, LLC. Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.In this raw and revealing episode of The Love Doc Podcast, Dr. Hensley and Raina dive deep into the rarely understood—but widely experienced—phenomenon of retraumatization. What actually happens to the brain and body when we're retraumatized? Why does it sometimes feel even more painful than the original event? Dr. Hensley walks us through the neurobiological process of retrauma, explaining how trauma is stored in the brain differently than typical memories—lodged in the amygdala and body rather than neatly filed in the hippocampus. So, when a familiar cue triggers that trauma, we often relive it with the same intensity as the original moment—except now it's stacked on years of previous pain.From a clinical and evolutionary perspective, Dr. Hensley explains how the human nervous system is wired to remember pain for survival. “When you've been traumatized over and over, especially in relationships or systems of power, your body becomes hypersensitive—it's not just hypervigilance; it's your body trying to keep you alive,” she shares. The repeated trauma essentially short-circuits our ability to regulate emotions or assess danger accurately. The nervous system begins to perceive safety as foreign, and threat as familiar—especially when our trauma stems from people we loved or trusted.The conversation takes a personal turn as both Dr. Hensley and Raina open up about recent experiences of being retraumatized—Raina through an emotionally manipulative exchange with a co-parent, and Dr. Hensley through a recent betrayal that echoed a childhood wound. They both reflect on how these moments didn't just “remind” them of earlier traumas—they reactivated them, sparking physical symptoms like shaking, shutdown, and dissociation. These aren't overreactions—they're biological responses to perceived survival threats, and they're devastatingly real.The episode also links retrauma to insecure attachment patterns, especially those who find themselves in repeated dynamics with narcissistic or dismissive avoidant (DA) partners. “People with insecure attachment often unconsciously seek out what's familiar, not what's safe,” Dr. Hensley explains. “That's how the retrauma cycle continues—we don't just remember pain, we recreate it.” The cycle becomes especially dangerous when one's nervous system is so accustomed to chaos that anything resembling peace feels threatening. They discuss how the body learns to expect harm in love and how, without awareness and healing, retrauma becomes a repeating loop.Lastly, the episode ties into The Love Doc's ongoing Family Court Series, highlighting the retraumatizing impact of legal systems. From both personal experience and client stories, Raina and Dr. Hensley reveal how courtrooms can become breeding grounds for PTSD—especially when survivors are forced to continually interact with their abusers, relive past harm, or defend their truth in a system that doesn't always protect them. Even the mere mention of court in a co-parenting text or email can trigger days of dysregulation and panic.This is a must-listen for anyone who's ever wondered why they “overreact” to certain people, places, or patterns—or why healing sometimes feels so hard. Dr. Hensley and Raina blend science with soul in an episode that's as validating as it is empowering.Patreons link: patreon.com/TheLoveDocPodcastDr. Hensley's Hybrid Group Coaching: https://courses.thelovedoc.com/group-coachingBook one on one with Dr. Hensley or one of her certified coaches: Virtual CoachingPurchase Dr. Hensley's online courses: https://courses.thelovedoc.com/coursesTik-Tok: @drsarahhensleyInstagram: @dr.sarahhensley_lovedocFacebook: Dr. Sarah HensleyYoutube: @Dr.SarahHensleyDisclaimer: The content shared on this podcast reflects personal experiences, opinions, and perspectives.

Her analysis is not just professional—it's deeply personal, fueled by a passion for justice and firsthand knowledge of a broken system.Having practiced family law for years, Christine reveals what drew her into the courtroom—and what eventually pushed her out. She shares unfiltered truths about how the system is failing the very people it claims to protect, particularly children, who often become collateral damage in custody battles riddled with bias, lack of oversight, and limited accountability. What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why due process is almost non-existent in family court—and how judges often take the bench without reading motions or evidenceHow false allegations can lead to devastating outcomes with little recourse or protectionWhy perjury is rarely prosecuted, unlike in criminal court, leaving parents vulnerable to manipulationThe financial exploitation of families through prolonged litigation, draining them emotionally and financiallyThe urgent need for judicial accountability, and why Christine believes judges should be held to higher standardsDr. Hensley's powerful proposal: Should family court rulings be decided by a jury of 12 peers, just like in criminal court?Christine also introduces her trailblazing platform, Judge-Y—a public review system and upcoming app that provides families with access to verified information and firsthand experiences with local judges and attorneys. Judge-Y is built to empower families with knowledge and help prevent the kind of injustice that is currently far too common.As the episode concludes, Christine reminds us that a significant portion of the population will encounter the family court system, often walking away with little more than trauma, financial devastation, and fractured families. She lays out bold ideas for reform—because without systemic change, we are perpetuating a cycle of harm that echoes for generations.To connect with Christine Miller:

This isn't just a discussion — it's an exposé on the deeply rooted corruption that continues to devastate protective parents, especially survivors of abuse who turn to the system for help and are instead retraumatized, discredited, and often punished for speaking the truth.Meg shares her personal and still-unfolding journey, one that has left her emotionally, financially, and physically depleted. Despite doing what most would consider the “right” thing — seeking legal protection for her children from her abuser — she found herself on the receiving end of a system that silences and punishes victims. After years of legal warfare, Meg's five children were forcibly taken from her and placed in the custody of the very man she tried to protect them from. The pain is palpable. Her story is far from unique — it mirrors the experiences of countless women (and some men) who enter courtrooms hoping for justice and emerge broken, confused, and further victimized. Together, Dr. Hensley and Meg pull back the curtain on the disturbing pattern of custodial reversal, judicial bias, financial gatekeeping, and the dangerous misuse of parental alienation claims — all tools often weaponized against the protective parent. They also explore the ways in which family court proceedings are insulated from public accountability, allowing unethical practices to continue behind closed doors with little to no oversight or due process. This episode is not just about Meg's story. It is about the thousands of parents who have DM'd her, commented on her posts, and stood in solidarity under the hashtag #standwithmeg — parents who are navigating the same heartbreaking system, terrified for their children's safety and feeling voiceless and unseen. It's about the culture of silence that surrounds the family court system, where even speaking out can put a parent at risk of losing everything.This conversation is as emotional as it is enraging — and it is a must-listen for anyone who has ever questioned why so many abuse victims hesitate to leave a marriage and go to court. Tune in to bear witness, to learn, and to stand with Meg — and for all those fighting silently for their children in a system that too often protects power over people, we see you, we hear you, and we speak for you!

In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.Episode 4, Season II | "What Can I Say?" In this deeply personal and unfiltered buffer episode, Dr. Hensley steps outside of the usual series format to speak her truth — not as a therapist or a coach, but as a woman, a wife, and a mother who has carried the weight of a private storm for far too long.After over a year of silent suffering, Dr. Hensley finally opens up about a painful and highly sensitive situation involving someone from her husband's past — someone who, in Dr. Hensley's words, “tried to break up my family.” While protecting the identities of everyone involved, she lays bare the emotional toll of false allegations and the emotional warfare and pain that it causes. This episode isn't about gossip — it's about truth, healing, and power. For anyone who has ever been falsely accused…For anyone who's watched someone come for their family…For anyone who's had to choose peace over retaliation…This episode is for you. Dr. Hensley shares not only what happened, but what she learned — about herself, about forgiveness, about faith, and about the unshakable strength of her marriage. She's no longer staying silent. She's setting the record straight, not just for her own peace, but for every listener who's ever been hurt by false allegations and someone else's unresolved pain.Though she considered taking legal action, Dr. Hensley chose instead to protect her peace — and that of her family — knowing that true power is often in what you don't do. But she makes it clear: this was her grace-filled response the first time. If it happens again, her words are raw and unflinching — “I will go scorched earth.”This emotional episode is more than a tell-all — it's a spiritual reset, a message of hope, and a call to rise above bitterness and let your pain become your platform. It's also a teaser for what's coming next — a new series that dives even deeper into the corruption that lies in certain legal systems. At its core, “What Can I Say” is a love letter to anyone who has ever been deeply wounded by someone who never took accountability — and a reminder that you can find peace, stand firm in your truth, and come out even stronger on the other side when someone deeply hurts you and your family.The overall message in this epsisode is:

In a world that often hyper-focuses on sexual chemistry and physical connection, they invite listeners into a conversation that challenges the status quo: that spiritual intimacy may be the true foundation of lasting love. With their signature blend of clinical insight, lived experience, and heartfelt faith, the hosts unpack why couples today are more disconnected than ever—despite being more sexually “liberated”—and how spiritual intimacy may be the missing link we're all searching for.Drawing from Dr. Hensley's personal walk with God and the spiritual bond that laid the groundwork for her own marriage, she shares how emotional and sexual intimacy became truly fulfilling only after she and her husband connected spiritually. Raina adds perspective on how her own partnership was radically transformed when she and her husband began prioritizing a higher purpose and shared values above all else. They candidly discuss how true spiritual intimacy starts with your individual relationship with the divine—however that may look for you—and expands outward into how you love, serve, and connect with your partner.They don't shy away from the controversy, either. Why is it that so many modern couples resist bringing God or spirituality into their relationships? Is it fear of judgment, past religious trauma, or a misunderstanding of what "spiritual" even means in the context of love and sex? Dr. Hensley and Raina explore the resistance to spirit-centered connection and offer a reframed understanding of spirituality—not as a rigid doctrine, but as a living, breathing connection to purpose, vulnerability, and sacred partnership. They boldly affirm that for them, and countless others, God is the center of their love stories. As the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 4:12, “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”This episode offers practical and inclusive ways couples can cultivate spiritual intimacy—regardless of religious background. Yes, that might mean praying or reading scripture together, but it could also look like meditating side by side, having purpose-driven conversations, serving others together, co-creating goals aligned with shared values, or holding space in silence during moments of pain and doubt. It's about nurturing the soul of your relationship. Because sex, when detached from a sense of deeper meaning or higher connection, can feel empty or misaligned. But when intimacy is built on a spiritual foundation—rooted in mutual reverence, intention, and transcendence—it becomes something sacred. Tune in for an episode that may just change how you view intimacy forever. Whether you're single, dating, or married, this conversation is a call back to the deeper connection you were created for, a spiritual one!

As a vaginal health nutritionist and sexual health advocate, Adrienne specializes in helping women get to the root of chronic yeast infections and supports both women and men in understanding and managing herpes (HSV) and human papillomavirus (HPV) diagnoses with compassion, knowledge, and zero shame.Together, Dr. Hensley and Adrienne bust some of the biggest myths surrounding STIs and STDs—like the false belief that your sex life is over after a diagnosis or that these infections only happen to people who are “irresponsible.” Spoiler: they don't, and it isn't. With over two-thirds of the population carrying HSV-1 and a staggering number of individuals living with HPV unknowingly, it's time we normalize the conversation around sexual health and stop tying our self-worth to a lab result.Adrienne walks us through what informed, empowered intimacy looks like after an STI/STD diagnosis. From navigating conversations with partners to understanding the role of nutrition and stress in flare-ups, this episode offers both emotional reassurance and practical steps. Whether you're currently dealing with symptoms, supporting a partner, or simply want to learn more about your own body, this is the kind of sexual health education we all should have received.Listeners will also gain insight into the often-overlooked connection between the gut microbiome and vaginal health, and how dietary and lifestyle changes can play a significant role in both prevention and symptom management. Adrienne offers a refreshing, body-positive perspective that invites us to release shame, reclaim our sexual agency, and embrace the truth: having an STI or STD does not make you “damaged goods.” You are still fully worthy of love, desire, and pleasure.You won't want to miss this incredibly affirming and informative conversation.

In this opening episode, “Attachment in the Sheets,” Dr. Hensley dives headfirst into how our attachment styles show up behind closed doors — and why understanding these patterns can completely shift the way we experience sexual connection.Dr. Hensley begins by unpacking the anxious-preoccupied (AP) attachment style in the realm of sex. APs are often the chameleons of intimacy, hyper-attuned to their partner's needs and desires but rarely in touch with their own. Their deepest fear of abandonment can lead them to override personal boundaries, agree to things that don't feel good, or mold their sexual expression entirely around what they think their partner wants. This form of self-abandonment might feel like love or closeness in the moment, but it slowly erodes the AP's internal sense of safety and sexual autonomy.Next, the fearful-avoidant (FA) style takes center stage — a deeply complex and often contradictory experience in the bedroom. FAs may begin with high emotional awareness and sensitivity to their own needs and desires, but that clarity can quickly get hijacked by old patterns of fear of betrayal or fear of vulnerability. For some, especially after trust has been broken, physical intimacy becomes a place of shutdown. Others may still engage sexually, while emotionally checking out, using physical closeness to mask the deeper disconnection they feel inside.Lastly, Dr. Hensley explores the dismissive-avoidant (DA) style — often the most misunderstood when it comes to sex. For many DAs, sex becomes the one “acceptable” avenue for intimacy, even though emotional vulnerability remains off-limits. This creates a paradox: they may initiate or enjoy sex, but still struggle to feel safe, connected, or fully present. Alternatively, DAs may avoid sex entirely, perceiving it as another emotional demand or pressure they're unwilling — or feel unable — to meet.Throughout the episode, Dr. Hensley weaves in the science of what's happening in the body — including key hormonal responses that men and women experience during and after sex, such as the bonding power of oxytocin and the physiological patterns of stress and arousal. She emphasizes that without emotional safety and secure attachment, our sexual experiences can easily become performative, disconnected, or fraught with unmet needs.This episode is an invitation to reframe how we view sex — not just as an act, but as an emotional experience shaped by our history, attachment wiring, and our ability to feel seen, safe, and truly wanted. If you've ever wondered why intimacy can feel so difficult at times — this episode is a must-listen.Tune in to "The Love Doc Podcast" every Tuesday morning for candid conversations, expert guidance, and a deeper understanding of life, love and relationships in the modern world.
