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.

👇 Let us know in the comments:

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

We’re so excited to share something incredibly special with all of you in Episode 38 of the Legacy Journeys Podcast! In this very special video, we take you through the magical and heartfelt moments of our wedding ceremony, or rather our Grand Union celebration, at Hillside International Truth Center. This moment was more than just a ceremony; it was the embodiment of love, family, and togetherness. It was a day we’ll never forget, and we can’t wait for you to experience it with us.

The ceremony begins with Bishop Dr. Jack L. Bomar making his entrance into the sanctuary, bringing an air of reverence and grace that set the tone for the rest of the day. Following him, it was my turn to enter—ready to say “I do” to the love of my life, Liv. But the most beautiful moment came when Liv walked down the aisle to me, just as our daughters stood proudly by our side. This wasn’t just a wedding; it was a family affair, a merging of hearts and lives.

Our daughters stood right there with us during the ceremony, symbolizing the unity and love we have as a blended family. This wasn’t just a wedding; it was a merging of hearts, and it was truly a family affair.

Throughout the 45-minute ceremony, you’ll witness the beautiful union of two souls and the beginning of a new chapter for us as a couple and a family. It’s all about love, commitment, and the power of shared experiences. Our ceremony was unique, full of meaningful moments, and was a true reflection of our journey as individuals and together as a couple.

As you watch this video, you’ll not only experience our vows but also feel the joy, laughter, and happy tears that come with such an intimate occasion. We hope this serves as a reminder that love is something to be celebrated, no matter your age or stage in life.

In the video, we also wanted to share how we incorporated our faith, culture, and values into the ceremony. Hillside International Truth Center has always been a place of peace and connection for us, so it only made sense that we would choose this special place for our ceremony. The energy in the room was palpable, and we felt so blessed to have our friends, family, and community there with us.

If you’re someone who believes that love over 40 is not only possible but extraordinary, then this video is for you. It’s proof that you can find deep, lasting love, and build something beautiful, even after life has thrown its fair share of challenges your way. We hope it resonates with you and maybe even inspires you to keep believing in love, no matter where you are in your journey.

And just a reminder: We love hearing from all of you! Please drop your thoughts and comments below—we’d love to know what you think and what resonates with you from the ceremony. Whether you’re married, engaged, or still searching for love, we want to be part of your journey too.

Let’s Get Deep Game | Midlife Humor | Funny Podcast For Adults

Welcome to Episode 36 of The Legacy Journeys Podcast!

This week, we dive deep (literally) into the hilarious, raw, and sometimes ridiculous world of midlife changes and adult connection. We kick things off with a comedic segment we lovingly call “50 Sh*t” — where we talk about the weird and wild stuff your body starts doing in your 50s. From mysterious body aches to noises that didn’t used to exist (was that your knee or your hip cracking like bubble wrap? LOL!), we keep it real and raw with plenty of laughs.

Aging is weird. It's real. And if you can't laugh at it, then what can you do? If you're in your 50s, almost there, or you just like to laugh at what’s coming down the pipeline, this one’s for you. This midlife humor segment is our fun little nod to all the grown folk out there figuring it out one body part at a time.

But the fun doesn’t stop there...

After we've laughed our way through the chaos of midlife, we switch gears and dive into another round of the always-popular "Let’s Get Deep" game — but with a twist. This time, we’re mixing the original card deck and the After Dark expansion cards. That’s right. We’re turning the heat up and the filter way down.

For the uninitiated, Let’s Get Deep is a card-based question game meant to spark real conversations between couples or friends. There are three levels of questions: Ice Breaker, Deep, and Deeper. But with the After Dark edition, things get a bit more… spicy. 😏 From light-hearted laughs to eyebrow-raising revelations, this game has become a staple on our podcast because it gets us talking — and it gets our audience thinking too.

We talk relationships, vulnerability, and love. We ask each other things that made us pause, laugh, and sometimes blush. Whether you’re playing Let’s Get Deep with your partner or tuning in for the entertainment, this game never disappoints. And when you blend the deeper emotional questions with the raunchier, After Dark stuff? Let’s just say, things get funny, real, and a little wild.

Why do we love this game so much? Because at its core, it helps you grow closer to your people — just like this podcast aims to help you grow in your own legacy journey. It’s connection, conversation, and comedy all in one.

We’re all about building connection, laughing through the hard stuff, and growing into better versions of ourselves — even when that version makes weird noises getting out of bed.

Make sure to like, comment, and subscribe if you’re vibing with this episode. And share it with someone in their 40s, 50s, or beyond who’s trying to figure it all out while keeping a sense of humor intact. 👊🏽
