RESOURCES FOR EPISODE

1️⃣ Choose one need and write it down clearly.

What would support you at work THIS week?

2️⃣ Use one of the scripts.

Start simple. Start small. Start where you feel safe.

“Hey, I wanted to share something that will help me maintain my productivity.

I’m navigating menopausal symptoms that sometimes impact my focus and temperature regulation.

I may need brief step-away moments or a fan at my desk.

These adjustments will help me continue performing at my usual level.”

“I’ve been dealing with a temporary health-related change.

To work at my best, I may need brief breaks and flexible micro-adjustments during the day.

I’ll continue meeting deadlines and expectations — these changes just help support that.”

Script 3 — HR/Policy Focused

“I’d like to discuss support options related to a health transition that affects many employees.

I’m open to exploring accommodations that align with wellbeing and performance.”

3️⃣ Create a micro-advocacy moment.

Ask for a fan. A five-minute break. A meeting recap.

One step is enough.

4️⃣ Track your energy.

Notice how supported vs unsupported days feel different.

5️⃣ Remember: You deserve support.

You don’t need to “earn it.”

Your wellbeing is valid on its own.

Welcome to Love Notes — your Friday night ritual in The Passion Zone. I’m Allie Theiss, your guide through poems, dedications, reflections, and sparks of intimacy.

I created Love Notes — both live and as a recorded podcast — because the world needs more love. Everywhere we turn, from the news to social media, we’re bombarded by chaos and heartbreak. This show is my way of shifting the energy — of creating space to invite love in, remember what it feels like, and remind each other that connection still matters.

Join me live every Friday night, 9–10 pm ET on TikTok @the.passion.zone

Please like, comment, and share the LOVE. 💖

We opened with i carry your heart with me by E.E. Cummings — a timeless reminder that love is both presence and belonging, carried with us wherever we go.

From Dani in Asheville to her partner

Song: Shut Up and Kiss Me – Mary Chapin Carpenter

One Day by David Nicholls — a story told one day each year for twenty years, capturing how love can be both constant and fleeting depending on timing.

From Heather in Portland to her husband

Song: Forever Like That – Ben Rector

Topic: Emotional Availability — the courage to be seen and honest about where you are emotionally. It’s not oversharing; it’s inviting your partner to meet you in truth.

From Julian in Boston

Song: Fields of Gold – Eva Cassidy

Love Actually (2003) — a film that celebrates every kind of love: romantic, familial, unspoken, and brave.

Appreciate out loud. Tell your partner one thing you love about who they are, not just what they do.

From Savannah in New Orleans to her partner

Song: Truly Madly Deeply – Savage Garden

Thank you for spending your Friday night with me. May the moments from Love Notes linger like the last notes of your favorite song.

We began tonight with an excerpt from Love After Love by Derek Walcott, reminding us that the most enduring romance starts within — the moment you greet yourself with kindness and come home to your own heart.

From Leo in Chicago to his girlfriend

Song: Accidentally in Love – Counting Crows

Seven Days in June by Tia Williams — a witty, sultry second-chance love story that proves sometimes hearts just need the right chapter to reconnect.

From Clara to her fiancé

Song: Kiss Me – Sixpence None the Richer

Topic: Emotional Safety as Foreplay — desire can’t bloom where judgment lives. Safety is the soil where intimacy takes root. When you feel seen and safe, your whole body opens to connection.

From Marcus in Atlanta

Song: Let Her Go – Passenger

Notting Hill (1999) — a timeless reminder that vulnerability is the heart of love, and courage often sounds like, “I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.”

Share one unspoken thought. Whisper something tonight you haven’t said in a while — admiration, desire, gratitude. Words left unsaid weigh heavy; words shared set the heart free.

From Hannah in New York to her partner

Song: Bleeding Love – Leona Lewis

Thank you for sharing this hour with me. We’ve explored playful moments, quiet devotion, and the courage to love even when the story feels unfinished. Let tonight’s sparks linger long after the music fades.
