Esther Perel reveals why modern relationships demand more from us than any generation in history, and why that's actually a gift. Growing up as the child of Holocaust survivors taught her that nothing is permanent, and that dread shaped her life's work around helping people create meaningful connections. She explains why women get bored with monogamy faster than men, why desire dies when you stop taking risks, and why the very things that attract you to someone become the source of your biggest conflicts later. You'll walk away understanding that great relationships aren't about finding the perfect person, they're about choosing someone and deciding to show up differently every day.

Esther’s books:

• Mating in Captivity
• The State of Affairs

In this episode you will:

• Discover why caretaking is one of the most powerful anti-aphrodisiacs in long-term relationships and what to do instead
• Understand why committed sex must be premeditated and how waiting for spontaneity guarantees you'll stay stuck in the same patterns
• Learn why you don't find your partner, you choose them, and how this shift in perspective changes everything about dating
• Break through the myth that divorce equals failure and why some 20-year marriages are massive successes even when they end
• Master the difference between people you can love and people you can make a life with, and why confusing the two destroys relationships

Dr. Ellen Langer has spent 45 years proving something most doctors still resist: your thoughts don't just influence your health, they are your health. In her groundbreaking counterclockwise study, elderly men lived as their younger selves for one week with zero medical intervention and emerged with improved vision, hearing, strength, and even looked noticeably younger. She's discovered that chambermaids lost weight simply by viewing their work as exercise, that wounds heal based on perceived time rather than actual time, and that stress is the single greatest source of illness, surpassing even diet and genetics. You'll walk away understanding that chronic disease isn't a life sentence but a signal that medicine hasn't caught up yet, and that your body responds to every thought whether you're aware of it or not.

Dr. Langer’s books:

• Mindfulness
• The Power of Mindful Learning
• On Becoming an Artist
• Counterclockwise
• The Mindful Body

In this episode you will:

• Discover why stress causes more disease than diet, genetics, or even medical treatment and how mindlessness keeps you trapped in patterns that make you sick
• Transform how you experience pain and illness by asking one simple question twice daily that initiates your body's natural healing response
• Break free from the myth that aging means falling apart by understanding that sickness and aging are completely separate processes
• Uncover why trying to make the right decision destroys your peace and what to do instead that eliminates stress entirely
• Master the power of uncertainty to unlock possibilities that rigid thinking and false certainty have kept hidden from you

Dr. Gabor Maté reveals a truth most people never hear: the abuse itself isn't always your deepest wound. He challenges everything you've been told about healing, explaining how the real trauma often comes from the people who should have protected you but couldn't. Through deeply personal stories including Lewis's own journey with sexual abuse, Gabor shows why shame keeps us trapped and how our nervous system's freeze response was actually protecting us all along. This isn't about blame or staying stuck in victimhood. You'll walk away understanding that healing means reconnecting with the parts of yourself you've been taught to hide, and that the suffering you've endured can actually become your greatest teacher.

Gabor’s books:

• Scattered Minds
• When the Body Says No
• Hold On to Your Kids
• In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts
• The Myth of Normal

In this episode you will:

• Discover why sexual abuse or bullying is often a secondary trauma and the real wound comes from not having emotional safety in your family
• Transform your relationship with shame by understanding that freezing during trauma was your nervous system's brilliant survival mechanism
• Break through the cultural genocide of authenticity by learning which childhood needs must be met for healthy development
• Uncover why triggers aren't about the present moment and how to stop letting the past control your reactions
• Learn what true healing actually means and recognize the signs that you're reconnecting with your authentic self
