    In this deeply affirming episode, host Andrea Atherton welcomes Marnie—author, guide, and midlife muse—to share her personal and transformative story of rising after divorce in her late 40s and choosing to live intentionally, joyfully, and unapologetically. As a single, middle-aged woman who now thrives in her own company, Marnie speaks directly to the hearts of women in the sandwich generation—those balancing the care of both children and aging parents—who may feel like they’ve lost themselves in the chaos. Her message is clear: midlife isn’t a crisis; it’s a sacred threshold, and your next chapter can be the most delicious yet.

    Together, Andrea and Marnie explore the often overlooked gifts of this stage of life: the quiet beauty of living alone, the empowerment found in menopause, and the profound opportunity to give breath to unlived dreams. They discuss how solitude can be a source of deep nourishment rather than loneliness, and how reclaiming time and space as your own allows for long-forgotten passions and callings to rise to the surface. Marnie shares how writing her book, Happy Is Not An Accident, and creating its guided journal format helped her—and now countless others—chart a path to their best selves, rooted in clarity, creativity, and self-love.

    This conversation is an invitation to reimagine what’s possible for women in midlife. Whether you’re newly single, moving through menopause, or simply craving a more intentional life, this episode offers inspiration and tools for designing a chapter that is deeply yours. You are not too late. You are right on time. Let this be your permission slip to live fully, love boldly, and become the author of your own joy.

    In this eye-opening conversation, host Andrea Atherton welcomes special guest Anthony Damachino—author of The Empty Nest Blueprint for Couples and Singles. Together, they explore a topic that is often overlooked and yet deeply impactful: the emotional and relational journey of the empty nest phase. As children leave home and familiar rhythms fade, many find themselves caught off guard by the wave of unexpected grief, identity shifts, and the quiet ache of change that touches every corner of life.

    Anthony and Andrea speak candidly about the shock that can come when a role you've lived in for decades—being a devoted parent—suddenly shifts. For many, especially those who placed their children at the center of their priorities, the question of "Who am I now?" can feel overwhelming. This conversation sheds light on the silent unraveling that can happen in marriages and personal lives during this transition, and why it's essential to grieve not only the loss of a daily role but the version of yourself you once knew.

    More than anything, this episode is about rediscovery. It offers hope, insight, and practical wisdom for finding your identity again—whether within a relationship or on your own. Anthony’s compassionate approach and Andrea’s intuitive presence invite listeners into a safe space to honor their emotions, reclaim their sense of self, and begin to see the empty nest not as an ending, but as a powerful new beginning.

    In this heart-opening episode, Andrea Atherton is joined by the soulful and intuitive guide, Saranam Mark Greenberg, for a transformative conversation on choosing love with clarity, intention, and inner wisdom. Together, they explore how subtle energies, dream messages, and conscious self-awareness can serve as guiding lights in the realm of romantic connection. Listeners are invited into a deeper understanding of how to attune to their body’s intuitive language—learning to feel safety, regulation, and resonance before the mind begins to shape a narrative. Andrea opens with a personal reflection of intuitive clarity in love, setting the stage for a rich and meaningful exploration of what it truly means to choose love consciously.

    As the conversation deepens, Andrea and Saranam reveal the often-unspoken truth that we feel energy long before we understand someone logically. They offer practical tools for developing energetic discernment—such as grounding, breathwork, and tuning in to the body’s cues—to help us distinguish between anxiety and authentic connection. Dreams are also explored as sacred messengers from the subconscious, offering symbolic insight into relational dynamics and hidden truths. Through intentional dreamwork practices such as journaling and inquiry, listeners learn how to tap into a wellspring of wisdom that transcends everyday awareness.

    The episode culminates in a profound invitation to connect with sexual energy not just as physical desire, but as a spiritual and creative life force. Andrea and Saranam discuss how sacred sexuality can become a pathway to higher intuition, manifestation, and connection with the divine. They explore the ways in which insight and guidance can be accessed not only through dreams or the body, but also through connection with realms beyond the physical plane—spiritual allies, ancestral wisdom, or higher self. If you’ve longed to feel more empowered, intuitive, and spiritually attuned in your approach to love and partnership, this episode offers both inspiration and grounded practices to guide your journey. Stay tuned until the end for an invitation to share your dreams, insights, and stories—and to learn more about Andrea’s offerings for conscious relationship coaching and intuitive dating support.

Through personal stories and practical advice, they shed light on how sensitivity can be a powerful tool for understanding the world on a deeper level.

    The conversation ends with Cara offering guidance for listeners who may be struggling with their empathic nature. She emphasizes that being highly sensitive isn’t a weakness but a profound gift when nurtured properly.

    Welcome to another raw and real episode of Love Anarchy with your host, Andrea Atherton. Today, we’re stripping away the myths and pressure around sex with special guest Leighanna Nordstrom, a renowned sex therapist. We’re diving into the all-too-common struggle of performance anxiety—why so many people feel like sex is something to be judged on rather than enjoyed. When did intimacy turn into a test we feel we have to pass? And more importantly, how do we unlearn the societal conditioning that tells us that great sex is all about technique, perfection, and outcomes rather than connection and pleasure?

    Leighanna breaks down why playfulness is key in the bedroom and how shifting our mindset from performance to curiosity can radically transform intimacy. We’ll explore the idea of sex as a pass-fail event—who decides what counts as a "pass," and why do we fear "failing?" Through humor, insight, and science, Leighanna shares practical ways to reduce anxiety, become more playful, and invite spontaneity into our sexual experiences. We’ll also touch on the four types of sex (optional discussion) and how understanding them can help us redefine pleasure beyond expectations.

    So, how do we stop worrying about things "going right" and start embracing the messy, human, and deeply fulfilling experience of sex? Leighanna will guide us through ways to cultivate curiosity, adventure, and authentic connection with ourselves and our partners. Whether you’re looking to deepen your intimacy, release anxiety, or simply enjoy sex more, this conversation is packed with F-ing truths you won’t want to miss. Tune in for an honest, liberating, and laughter-filled discussion on what truly makes sex satisfying!

    In this solo episode, Andrea Atherton explores the powerful link between self-confidence, self-trust, and the way we show up in relationships. She dives deep into the subconscious stories and limiting patterns that keep us stuck in cycles of self-doubt—whether it’s second-guessing our choices, overanalyzing our partner’s actions, or struggling to trust our own feelings. Andrea unpacks how these hidden narratives shape our love lives and how we can begin rewriting them to cultivate healthier, more fulfilling connections. Instead of seeing past relationships as failures, she encourages a shift in perspective—viewing them as lessons that guide us toward deeper self-awareness and growth.

    With a blend of personal insights and actionable strategies, Andrea discusses how to approach relationships with intentionality, moving beyond outdated patterns of attraction and instead choosing a partner who aligns with our values and evolution. She highlights the delicate balance between personal growth and relational work—because while self-development is essential, relationships also require presence, vulnerability, and shared effort. Andrea also introduces powerful tools like meditation and journaling to deepen self-knowledge, helping listeners tune into their intuition, break free from self-doubt, and foster a strong inner foundation.

    Andrea also explores what it means to create a relationship of growth, where both partners support each other’s evolution rather than staying stuck in old dynamics. She shares how to cultivate a connection that thrives on mutual respect, emotional safety, and continuous learning. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re choosing the right person, felt torn between independence and connection, or struggled with self-doubt in relationships, this episode is for you. Andrea shares transformative mindset shifts and practical exercises to help you break free from limiting beliefs, trust yourself fully, and approach love with both confidence and clarity. Tune in to start building a relationship that not only lasts but helps you become the best version of yourself.

    In this episode, host Andrea Atherton welcomes guest Jessica Langley to explore the transformative power of platonic touch, with a special focus on the cuddle puddle—a communal, heart-centered space for safe, nurturing, and non-sexual touch. In a world where physical connection is often limited to romantic relationships, the cuddle puddle offers a radical alternative: a space where people can relax, be held, and experience the deep healing that comes from simply being in gentle, consensual contact with others. Jessica shares how these experiences help regulate the nervous system, release stress, and foster a profound sense of belonging.

    Andrea and Jessica dive into the nuance of what makes the cuddle puddle so powerful—not just in offering comfort but also in helping participants find their voice regarding boundaries and self-advocacy. In this space, individuals learn to ask for what they need, whether it’s a hand to hold, a back to lean on, or a space to simply be present. By practicing clear communication and consent, participants build confidence in expressing their desires while also becoming more attuned to the unspoken language of others. Reading body language, sensing energy shifts, and respecting silent cues become second nature in this deeply intuitive and connected experience.

    Throughout the conversation, Andrea and Jessica highlight how the cuddle puddle is more than just a comforting embrace—it’s a practice in emotional intelligence, energetic awareness, and relational growth. By engaging in platonic touch with mindfulness, people cultivate a deeper understanding of their own needs while learning to honor the boundaries of others. If you’ve ever longed for an authentic, platonic connection in your life but didn’t know where to start, this episode will open your eyes to a whole new way of embracing the power of touch, communication, and energetic presence.

    In this episode, Host Andrea Atherton sits down with therapist and relationship coach Christie Bemis to explore the hidden forces shaping our love lives—our childhood experiences and unconscious patterns. So much of what we struggle with in relationships—conflict, emotional distance, unmet needs—often traces back to the attachment wounds and learned behaviors we absorbed in our earliest years. Christie sheds light on how these patterns play out in our partnerships and, most importantly, how to break free from the cycles that keep us stuck. Awareness is the first step, but what does real healing look like? They discuss practical strategies for uncovering these unconscious wounds and transforming them into opportunities for growth and deeper connection.

    Beyond healing the past, Andrea and Christie dive into how long-term relationships can lose their spark and fall into ruts. While comfort and routine can feel safe, they can drain passion and excitement. Christie shares keys on how to reignite desire, bring playfulness back into intimacy, and rediscover the deep attraction that brought partners together in the first place. From communication shifts to shared experiences, they discuss how couples can keep their connection fresh and fulfilling, even after years together.

    Finally, the conversation turns inward—because the most powerful way to improve any relationship is by doing the work on ourselves. What does it mean to be the best partner we can be? How do we cultivate self-awareness, emotional regulation, and personal growth so we can allow the healthiest version of ourselves into our relationships? Andrea and Christie offer actionable tips on shifting mindset, fostering deeper emotional intelligence, and embracing change in ways that positively impact both partners. Whether you're in a new relationship or have been with your partner for decades, this episode is packed with insights to help you create a love that creates healing and deep fulfillment.

    In this episode, host Andrea Atherton welcomes guest Egan Sanders to explore the fascinating realm of past and future lives. Reincarnation has long been a topic of intrigue, but beyond mere curiosity, it holds profound potential as a tool for self-discovery and healing. Egan shares insights into how our soul’s journey extends beyond this lifetime, carrying lessons, patterns, and even unresolved emotions that shape our present experiences. By accessing past lives, we can gain a deeper understanding of who we are, why we face certain challenges, and how we can break free from cycles that no longer serve us.

    Andrea and Egan also discuss the powerful impact of past-life connections in relationships. Many of the people we encounter—whether friends, family, lovers or even adversaries—may have played significant roles in our previous incarnations. Recognizing these soul connections can bring clarity to unresolved tensions, unexplained attractions, or deep emotional bonds that defy logic. By exploring these dynamics, we can cultivate greater compassion, release karmic wounds, and create more conscious, fulfilling relationships in the present.

    Finally, the conversation delves into the concept of future lives and how glimpses into what’s ahead can empower us to make choices aligned with our highest potential. Rather than seeing the future as fixed, Egan explains how it is shaped by our present actions and energetic frequency. Through practices such as past-life regression, meditation, or intuitive work, we can tap into these multidimensional aspects of our existence, allowing us to step into greater awareness, purpose, and healing. Tune in for a mind-expanding discussion on the eternal journey of the soul and how embracing reincarnation can transform the way we navigate our lives and relationships.

    In this solo episode, host Andrea Atherton explores the evolving dating landscape in 2025, Part Two, where clarity, intention, and authenticity take center stage. As more people seek deep, meaningful connections, the dating world is shifting away from surface-level interactions and fast-paced swiping toward a more mindful, intentional approach. Whether you’re navigating the dating scene or simply intrigued by the transformation of modern romance, this episode will help you rethink what it means to date with purpose.

    We’ll break down some of the most impactful trends shaping this conscious dating movement, including Soft Dating, where singles prioritize emotional intimacy and slow-building chemistry over instant gratification. We’ll also dive into Crew Connections, a growing practice of dating within trusted social circles to cultivate safety, trust, and deeper compatibility. For those exploring a more aligned approach to pleasure, Pleasure-Centered Dating shifts the focus from performance to connection, ensuring that intimacy—physical or emotional—is rooted in mutual respect and fulfillment.

    Additionally, we’ll discuss the increasing rise of Sober Dating, as more people embrace alcohol-free experiences to foster genuine connection and emotional clarity. Prioritizing authenticity is also evident in the growing emphasis on Sharing STI Status, and normalizing transparent conversations about health and boundaries. And in a world that often rushes intimacy, many are choosing to practice Waiting on Sex, allowing space for deeper emotional foundations before physical connection.

    At the heart of these trends is a commitment to self-awareness, open communication, and values-driven partnerships. Dating in 2025 isn’t about playing games—it’s about showing up fully, honoring your needs, and building relationships that align with your truth. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on how dating is evolving into a more intentional, conscious, and fulfilling experience.
