Are AI relationships the new romantic norm? In this episode of the Legacy Journeys Podcast, Liv and Carlton explore the intersection of love, technology, and trust in modern relationships.

We dive deep into two provocative topics:

🧠 1. The Allure of AI Relationships

Inspired by the Psychology Today article "Romance Without Risk", we discuss how artificial intelligence is stepping into the role of emotional partner. Can an AI really fulfill our need for love and intimacy? What does it mean for dating over 40 when machines seem to “understand” us better than people do?

💔 2. Is It Okay If Your Partner Is Still Friends With Their Ex?

We break down insights from VeryWellMind’s article on whether staying connected to a former partner is a red flag or a mature boundary. When does emotional closeness become emotional cheating? How do you create healthy boundaries in relationships — especially in marriage or second-time-around love?

In this honest and unfiltered conversation, we cover:

- The psychology of AI relationships and emotional connection

- Boundaries in marriage and dating after divorce

- Whether being friends with an ex is harmless… or harmful

- How to build trust, communicate, and grow together in midlife love

If you're navigating relationships over 40, this episode is for you.

Would you be okay with your partner being friends with their ex? Could you fall in love with an AI robot?

In this episode of the Legacy Journeys Podcast, Liv and Carlton are back with another hilarious and honest conversation in Season 2, Episode 5!

We kick things off with a fun look at how our travel habits have changed now that we’re a little older and (hopefully) wiser. From packing smarter to skipping the party scene (sometimes), we’re laughing through all the ways vacation has evolved after 40.

Next up, it’s our Gen Z/Millennial Flick Pick, and we’re talking about the 2024 movie everyone’s been buzzing about: Companion. It won some major awards, but... did it really deserve them?

We break it all down with our usual mix of humor, realness, and side-eye. Whether you loved it or were left scratching your head, our Companion movie review will give you something to think (and laugh) about.

And in our final segment, we open up about the midlife changes that have crept in—sometimes slowly, sometimes with a slap. Liv shares her thoughts on navigating menopause and how it’s shifted things in her body and emotions. Carlton talks about knee pain and that moment when your blood pressure monitor becomes your new best friend.

So whether you're here for the laughs, the movie review, or the real talk about what it means to evolve in your 40s and 50s, you're in the right place.

🎬 Highlights This Episode:

0:44 Maturing as travelers: Do we still party on vacation? (Hint: naps win)

19:15 Companion Movie Review: What the heck happened at the end?!

41:37 Menopause, knees, blood pressure, and everything midlife brings
