What Open Relationships Can Teach Everyone About Honesty, Intimacy, and Repair
11d ago · 45:56
What if the relationships that are considered unconventional could teach every couple the skills that matter most: honesty, boundaries, and the art of repairing after things go wrong? Every relationship, whatever its shape, runs on the same two engines: clear communication and the ability to come back together after a rupture. But most of us were never taught either one. We inherit our assumptions about love, we leave our expectations unspoken, and then we're surprised when misunderstandings pile up into distance. There's a paradox at the heart of it all: we long to be deeply connected AND ful
Shift Your Home, Shift Your Relationship
1mo ago · 1:37:40
What if the space you live in is quietly shaping the quality of your relationships, including with yourself? In this episode of Soul-Shaking Love, I sit down with conscious architect Talor Stewart to explore the powerful connection between our homes, our bodies, and our bonds. Talor's work reveals what most of us never think about: that the physical layout of our living spaces can either promote co-regulation and connection or keep us stuck in low-grade fight-or-flight. Whether you're a homeowner, a renter, a couple, or single, this conversation will change the way you see every room in your h
How to Unpause Your Marriage
2mo ago · 52:58
Have you ever noticed the moment your relationship shifted from "we're in this together" to "we're just coexisting"? Most couples don't see it happen in real time. It's not one big rupture — it's a series of small retreats. A conversation you didn't finish. A bid for connection that went unanswered. A moment where vulnerability felt too risky, so you pulled back instead. Over time, these micro-retreats create what Dr. Lee Baucom calls "hitting the Pause Button" — and once a marriage is on pause, disconnection quietly takes root and begins undermining the bond from the inside. The good news? A
From Survival Mode to Self-Love: Using RTT to Rewire Your Nervous System
2mo ago · 1:08:49
Most of us don’t actually think we have a challenge with Self-Love; we just feel depleted. That was the story of Samantha Mandell, an RTT (Rapid Transformational Therapy) practitioner and founder of Sweet Soul and Wellness. After navigating her own debilitating journey with functional neurological disorder and PNES (psychogenic non-epileptic seizures), she discovered that her survival programming was running the show — in her body, her marriage, and her sense of self. In this episode of Soul-Shaking Love, Samantha shares how disorganized attachment shaped her relationships and manifested as a
Queen Codes: 4 Keys To Being The Most Magnetic Woman in Any Room You Walk Into
3mo ago · 1:08:49
Have you ever walked into a room and felt someone’s energy before they even said a word? That kind of magnetic presence isn’t about what you’re wearing or what you say; it’s about who you’re BEING. And for so many high-achieving women, the very qualities that built their success: the hustle, the independence, the “I’ll do it myself” energy, are the same ones dimming their magnetism and keeping real connection at arm’s length. That’s why I decided to sit down with dating coach and women’s mentor Lauren Salaun. Lauren’s mission is helping women break free from “boss babe” hustle culture and come
Come Home to Yourself
3mo ago · 1:11:25
Many of us feel like we’re living someone else’s life instead of our own. But how do we discover what’s authentic and have the courage to actually live it? That's why I sat down with Zerina Derveni, who helps people break free from self-doubt and lack of clarity to embrace their authentic selves with confidence and purpose. In our soulful conversation, we explore what it truly means to come home to yourself. Using her five-stage framework — Awareness, Unlearning, Exploration, Integration, and Living Authentically — Zerina shares her own journey of transforming her identity from something she p
How to Find Joy After Heartbreak, Burnout, and Everything You Didn’t Choose
4mo ago · 56:18
What happens when the life you built was based on blueprints you never actually chose? Many of us grow up absorbing invisible templates — about who we should be, how we should love, what we should tolerate — long before we're old enough to question them. And then one day, we look around and realize the life we've built doesn't feel like ours. That's why I was so excited to talk with Joni, author of Burned, Blocked, and Better Than Ever. In this episode, she shares her deeply personal journey of waking up to the toxic blueprints that shaped her — from childhood trauma and emotional control to r
The Happiness Formula
4mo ago · 48:28
You’ve probably heard that happiness is an inside job, but that can feel like sand slipping through your fingers with everything that’s happening in our world right now! So I’m always looking to interview experts who can help you thrive in life and love. That’s why I decided to interview Anil Gupta, who’s known as “The Love Doctor,” about his “Happiness Formula.” In 2008 Anil Gupta was suicidal and he not only found a way to overcome his adversity and thrive, but he was determined to distill a formula for how anyone can choose to make themself happy no matter what their outer circumstances are
Stop Chasing, Start Feeling: Embodied Ways to Find Love
5mo ago · 1:03:57
What if the key to finding love isn’t about doing more — but feeling more? Most of us have been taught to approach dating from the neck up: analyze the red flags, optimize our profiles, figure out “what we want.” But what if your body already knows things your mind is still catching up to? That’s why I decided to interview Amber Lavin, a conscious dating and relationship coach who helps people stop chasing and attract a partner who is truly right for them. In this episode, we explore embodied dating — what it actually means, why so many smart, growth-oriented people still end up in unfulfillin
How to Use Pleasure to Heal Old Wounds
5mo ago · 45:50
Have you ever tried to heal your patterns in love — working on your attachment style, processing your childhood wounds, learning to communicate better — and it just feels like… work? Like you’re grinding through another layer of self-improvement, wondering when you’ll finally get to relax and enjoy love? What if the path to lasting change wasn’t more effort, but more pleasure? That’s why I sat down with Lauren Harkness, co-founder of The Tantra Institute, advanced certified tantra educator, and somatic trauma facilitator. Lauren has spent years helping people heal sexual trauma, transform repe
From Chaos to Clarity: how to use business principles to help love thrive
6mo ago · 54:08
Okay, I know — "run your relationship like a business" sounds about as romantic as a spreadsheet on Valentine's Day. I thought so too before I met Dr. Robin Buckley, so stay with me for a bit. Here's a question: Would you ever run a business with no clear roles, no regular check-ins, no shared strategy, and just... hope it all works out? Probably not. And yet — that's exactly how most of us run our relationships. We wing it. We cross our fingers. We assume love will handle the details. Sometimes it does! Often... not so much. That's what this episode of Soul-Shaking Love is all about. Dr. Robi
Transforming Shame into Self-Love
6mo ago · 1:11:06
Shame is something most of us carry but few of us talk about openly. It can show up in response to that inner voice telling you you're too much or not enough, as the impulse to hide parts of yourself, or as patterns in relationships that leave you feeling disconnected. Yet despite how common shame is, finding effective ways to work with it remains elusive for many people. In their latest book, Transforming the Shame Triangle: From Shame to Love Using Parts Work, Jessica Fern and David Cooley offer a fresh framework that uses parts work to help us see that shame is part of an internal “Drama Tr
How to Communicate So You Actually Feel Closer
7mo ago · 44:22
We’ve all been there: we want to communicate about something that’s bothering us, but we know that if we bring it up, it’ll lead to an argument and then we’ll have 2 problems instead of one: the original problem and now you also feel disconnected. Few of us had good modeling for how to communicate in a way that brings us closer. That’s why I chose to interview Raffi Bilek. Raffi has developed a streamlined formula for how to communicate with your partner in a way that inspires connection rather than conflict and isolation - even when it comes to the really hard stuff. He has helped hundreds of
Anger Isn’t the Problem in Relationships – Rupture without Repair Is
7mo ago · 1:01:52
Anger is one of the most misunderstood emotions in relationships—and often the most shamed. Which makes sense! Unregulated anger can be genuinely scary. But when we do have the skills to manage our emotions, anger becomes something different: a protective signal. It's telling us a need isn't being met, a boundary's been crossed, or our nervous system is maxed out. Learn to speak kindly when you're angry, or learn how to co-regulate each other's anger, and it can actually bring you closer to your partner. That's exactly why I wanted to talk to Davina Hehn, an anger management expert. We get int
Creating Conscious Relationships
8mo ago · 1:06:37
As we prepare to enter the new year, most people think about what they want to create — in our health, our work, and especially our relationships. Whether you’re single or partnered, getting clear on what really matters can make a big difference in how love feels. That’s why I chose to interview LaShawn McCrary, a conscious relationship coach who helps people clarify what they want and learn the skills to create healthier, happier love lives. Creating Conscious Relationships is a bold, heart-led conversation about connecting with awareness. We explore how self-honesty, emotional responsibility
Why You Keep Ending Up in the Same Relationship — and How to Finally Break the Pattern
9mo ago · 1:11:53
We don’t stumble into our relationship patterns by chance. Most of us are quietly replaying the beliefs we absorbed as kids — about love, safety, power, and what parts of ourselves are welcome. This isn't about blame; by understanding what our patterns are, we can change them and enjoy happy, healthy love. Reprogramming childhood patterns is one of my favorite topics, so I decided to sit down with Matthew Riven, a coach and guide who helps people break the relational patterns they inherited — from childhood, culture, and past pain — and create relationships rooted in truth, power, and choice.
The 3 Causes of Mismatched Libido in Couples and How to Fix It
9mo ago · 1:01:44
Mismatched libido, or "desire discrepancy" is on of the most common problems couples experience. But few people know how to find the underlying cause or teach us what to do about it. Our interview reveals what's really going on (hint: it's not what you think!) and what couples can do to return to connection, flow, and deeper intimacy, love and pleasure. Here's what we cover in our interview: 1. What are the top 3 reasons why couples might have mismatched sex drives? 2. How can we discover what really turns us on? 3.Once we identify what we want, how do we communicate it in a way that doesn’t k
Love Can, In Fact, Be Calculated
9mo ago · 52:40
Ever wonder why some couples grow closer over time while others drift apart? It’s not fate—it’s patterns. The small, often invisible ways we communicate, react, and repair can determine whether love deepens or disintegrates. And once you can see those patterns, you can change them. This week, I sat down with Zoey Charif, author of Love Can, In Fact, Be Calculated, to unpack the science (and soul) of lasting love. Zoey spent two decades decoding patterns of human attraction, pulling from her background in criminology, data analytics, and a drive to challenge everything we’ve been taught about l
How To Set Boundaries Without Being Mean
11mo ago · 1:02:55
Boundaries—we all know they’re important, but putting them into practice? That’s usually the hard part. So often, we’re caught between voicing our needs and feeling guilty, or keeping quiet and subtly losing ourselves. That’s why I sat down with Emotional Resiliency Coach Jennifer Febel, author of How to Set Boundaries (Without Feeling Like a Dck)*. She busts common myths about boundaries and shares a down-to-earth, empowering framework for creating them with clarity and ease. With over twenty years of expertise in communication and personal growth, Jennifer offers practical tools and compassi
How to Rewrite Your Love Script from Childhood
1y ago · 1:05:08
In relationships, we don’t enter adulthood with a blank slate—we inherit a “love script” from our childhood. It tells us what love looks like, how much we’re allowed to receive, how we should express ourselves, and what it takes to feel safe or chosen. That’s why I decided to interview Inner Child Expert Anat Peri. She’s an expert on how early experiences with our parents shape the way we show up in romantic relationships—and how to rewrite those patterns to create conscious, secure, soul-shaking love. Whether you keep attracting emotionally unavailable partners or find yourself shutting down
Becoming Securely Loved
1y ago · 48:02
Attachment styles are everywhere these days—but what do they really mean for our relationships? Understanding your attachment style is the first step to healing patterns that keep love at arm’s length. When we learn how to cultivate secure attachment, we unlock the ability to create deeper, more lasting connections—starting with ourselves. That’s why I decided to interview Relationship and attachment trauma Practitioner Bev Mitelman about BECOMING Securely Loved. She, like I, grew up in an environment that fostered disorganized attachment and dedicated herself to learning the skills to heal, g
6 Secrets To Navigate Conflict in a Healthy Way
1y ago · 59:09
Unfortunately, our world is becoming more polarized and people are arguing more now than ever. How do we stay connected to who we care about and what we care about at the same time? That’s why I decided to interview Phyllis Levitt because she talks about how to navigate conflict in a healthy way: in our romantic relationships, families, and larger communities. Her latest book, "America in Therapy" is about bringing healing and conflict resolution to ourselves on a personal level; and our larger communities; and the relationship between the two. Phyllis presents 6 principles for how to navigate
Conscious Communication
1y ago · 50:32
You've probably heard that communication is one of the keys to a healthy relationship; and I still hear from most people that they feel misunderstood by someone important to them. We need engaging teachers to help us clarify our truth and communicate it clearly. Jem Fuller has lived a colourful, global life. From barefoot backpacker to corporate leader, fire-dancer and traditional tattooist, kindergarten teacher to motorcycle courier, masseuse and reflexologist, to labourer and travel consultant. For more than 12 years now, he has run his own executive leadership coaching practice and internat
Can a Narcissist Change?
1y ago · 1:06:47
We’ve all heard about narcissism, and the typical advice is to leave because they can’t change. That is true most of the time and if you’re in a relationship with a Narcissist, I encourage you to get professional support. However, some therapists who specialize in personality disorders have seen narcissists, with the right support, learn and grow into more empathic people who are capable of showing up with some self-awareness and care. This isn’t the majority, of course, and it’s not to minimize the abuse and hurt that narcissists cause to those closest to them. But if you have to relate to a
Best Practices to Keep a Marriage Alive & Thriving
1y ago · 1:10:28
We all know that it takes work to keep love alive in a marriage, but what's the most important work to do? I'm passionate about this topic so I decided to interview relationship coach, marriage expert, and author Gabriela Embon about the Best Practices to Keep a Marriage Alive & Thriving. While each marriage is different, Gabriela believes that there are universal best practices that transcend all differences. Why? Because they tap into something deeper—the nature of the human soul. In her book, "Becoming a Power Couple," Gabriela outlines what she considers the key do's and don’ts of legendar
