En este episodio divertido y lleno de amor perruno de Love Psycho, me siento a conversar con la comediante puertorriqueña Heyda Salaman sobre nuestra relación con los perros—ya sea que los adoremos o simplemente intentemos sobrevivir a su caos. Hablamos de su show de stand-up Dominada por un Perro y de cómo estos peludos logran apoderarse de nuestras vidas sin que nos demos cuenta.
Heyda nos cuenta qué la inspiró a crear su show, las locuras que hacen los perros (y sus dueños), y cómo nuestras relaciones con las mascotas pueden ser tan intensas y absurdas como las humanas. También compartimos anécdotas sobre las manías más raras de nuestros perros—desde actitudes de divas hasta comportamientos completamente inexplicables.
Si alguna vez has cancelado planes por tu perro o te has preguntado quién manda realmente en casa, este episodio es para ti. ¡Prepárate para reír, amar y aceptar que los perros nos tienen dominados!

In this episode of Love Psycho, I sit down with Antonio Quirindongo, a licensed therapist and the owner of Beyond Labels Counseling in New Jersey, to dive into the fascinating world of love languages. We break down how these five languages—words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch—shape our relationships and the way we give and receive love.
Antonio shares his expert insights on how understanding your own love language (and your partner’s) can improve communication, deepen connections, and even help navigate conflicts. We also explore the impact of love languages beyond romantic relationships—how they play a role in friendships, family dynamics, and self-love.
Whether you’re fluent in your partner’s love language or still struggling to translate, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective on how to express and receive love in a way that truly resonates. Tune in and let’s get psycho about love!

¡Bienvenidos a Love Psycho! En este primer episodio, me presento y les cuento de qué va este podcast. No soy psicólogo, ni coach de citas, ni un experto en el amor—solo alguien profundamente curioso sobre cómo nos conectamos, rompemos, sanamos y volvemos a amar.
Este no es un espacio para dar consejos de relaciones (porque, seamos sinceros, yo también sigo descifrando todo esto). Más bien, es un lugar para explorar las formas locas, hermosas y a veces caóticas en las que experimentamos el amor. Desde la psicología del amor hasta historias personales, perspectivas de expertos y la realidad desordenada del romance, aquí hablaremos de todo.
Así que prepárense—esto va a ser divertido, un poco caótico y, con suerte, revelador. ¡Bienvenidos a Love Psycho!

Welcome to Love Psycho! In this debut episode, I introduce myself and set the stage for the journey ahead. I’m not a psychologist, a dating coach, or an expert in love—just a curious soul fascinated by the way we connect, break, heal, and love again.
This podcast isn’t about giving you relationship advice (because, let’s be honest, I’m figuring it out too). Instead, it’s a space to explore the wild, beautiful, and sometimes chaotic ways we experience love. From dating psychology to personal stories, expert insights, and the messy reality of romance, we’re diving deep.
So buckle up—this is going to be fun, a little unhinged, and hopefully, enlightening. Welcome to Love Psycho!
