Caught in the Act: What to Do When Your Kids Walk In on You Jan 22, 2025

Show notes

What do you do when your child accidentally walks in on you and your spouse during an intimate moment? It’s one of those unexpected situations that can leave you feeling flustered and unsure of how to respond.

In this Language of Love session, a listener, Kim, reaches out to me after experiencing one of those “mortifying parenting moments” when her 8-year-old son walked in on her and her husband during an intimate moment. Kim’s reaction? Shock, followed by a quick hug for her son and an attempt to smooth things over. But now she’s left wondering: Should she bring it up? Pretend it didn’t happen? Or use this as an opportunity to talk about the “birds and the bees”?

During this session, we explore how these awkward moments can actually become teachable ones. While it’s natural to feel embarrassed, it’s also an opportunity to model healthy relationships, intimacy, and communication. After all, parents are their kids’ first and most important teachers about love, boundaries, and values.

Here is what we tackle:

The importance of modeling love and intimacy for your children.
How to talk to kids about puberty and the basics of reproduction in a way that’s age-appropriate.
Using family values as a foundation for these conversations.
Why these “awkward” moments can set the stage for lifelong healthy attitudes about sex and relationships.
The critical role of ongoing, open communication with your kids.
The confidence and security kids gain when they feel informed about their bodies and emotions.

Remember, it’s not about having “the talk” once and checking it off the list—it’s about fostering a conversation that evolves as your child grows. So the next time a parenting curveball comes your way, don’t panic—lean into it. You’ve got this!

Losing a child is an unimaginable pain—one that breaks you open in ways you never thought possible. When I lost my son Sammy, my world shifted in an instant. Sammy was my light, my joy, and his absence left a void that words can’t capture.

A Course in Miracles: Staying Connected to Loved Ones After Loss with Pam Grout Dec 18, 2024

Show notes

In this powerful episode, I sit down with best-selling author, Pam Grout, to explore the profound journey of healing, love, and loss—and to discuss how, even in the darkest times, we can discover light and meaning.

Pam and I share a bond beyond our love for quantum physics and a belief in manifestation. We've both faced unimaginable losses: We both lost both our parents as well as a child. I lost my son Sammy, while Pam lost her daughter to a sudden aneurysm. We’ve walked through the pain of these losses and emerged with a sense of grace connection that feels almost otherworldly. We both agree that “lost” doesn’t feel quite right—our loved ones are gone, yet we still feel their presence, like gentle echoes guiding us forward.

Pam shares how completing A Course in Miracles after her daughter’s passing became a sanctuary and source of resilience, as writing has been for both of us. Together, we discuss how our work—whether through writing, teaching, or supporting others—has been shaped by these experiences.

Tune in to explore:

How our beliefs shape our reality and how to manifest with purpose
The healing power of daily gratitude
Signs and symbols that connect us with loved ones who’ve passed
Ways to cultivate appreciation in relationships and savor life’s precious moments
How to embrace difficult emotions to find clarity and peace

Make sure to explore the E-Squared experiments on YouTube and dive into Pam’s insightful books:, E-Squared, E-Cubed, A Course in Miracles, and God Doesn't Have Bad Hair Days. You can also connect with Pam on her website for more inspiration. And don’t forget to check out all my courses and books on my website.

When a Narcissist Wants Back In: What to Consider Dec 11, 2024

Show notes

They swept you off your feet, showered you with affection, and made you feel like the center of their world—until they didn’t. Now, just when you thought you were done, they’re back, promising that they’ve changed and insisting that this time will be different. But can someone who left you feeling confused and used really transform that quickly?

That’s exactly what Sarah, one of our listeners, is dealing with in this Language of Love Session. She broke up with her toxic ex, only for him to return with flowers, apologies, and promises of change. It’s hard not to get pulled back in, right? One minute he’s manipulative and unsupportive, and the next he’s sending heartfelt letters.

So, what’s really going on here? Is change possible, or is this just another round of love-bombing?

In this Session, we dig into:

How to recognize signs of narcissistic and emotionally abusive behavior
What are the signs they’ve really changed?
The toxic cycle of abuse, and why it can create “trauma bonds” that are hard to break
Stockholm syndrome and its effects on relationships
Why real change takes time—and how to spot real commitment to growth
The importance of therapy for both partners in a healthy relationship
Setting boundaries to protect yourself and move forward
