06 Oct 2022Allison Raskin - Getting Real About Mental Health & Relationships00:43:54

In this episode of Let’s Talk Love, we had the utmost pleasure of speaking with Allison Raskin. Allison is an American writer, director, comedian and mental health advocate. We talk about Allison's book Overthinking About You: Navigating Romantic Relationships When You Have Anxiety, OCD, and/or Depression. Allison is open about her struggles with mental health. She shares tips on how people can be supportive of their friends and partners who struggle with mental illness without being overly involved or overbearing in their relationships. We also discuss what it means to date when you have anxiety or depression—and how romantic relationships can either help or hurt your mental health depending on how you manage them together. Allison brings so much levity, and deep wisdom to a topic many of us are not truly educated on. We hope you enjoy this conversation!

19 Jan 2023Katherine Woodward Thomas - Lessons in Conscious Uncoupling00:54:35

Welcome back for Season 3 of Let’s Talk Love! Today we are joined by Katherine Woodward Thomas. Katherine is the author of the national bestseller, Calling In The One, and New York Times bestseller, Conscious Uncoupling: Five Steps to Living Happily Even After. She is also a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and teacher to 1000s from all corners of the world. 

Today, Katherine walks us through her five-step process for consciously uncoupling. She says, “The goal of conscious uncoupling is not necessarily the restoration of justice, the attainment of restitution, or the vindication of being right. The goal of conscious uncoupling is to be free, and to move forward from here empowered to create a happy and healthy life for yourself and those you love.”


If you are going through a painful breakup, separation or divorce right now or feeling some negative emotions around your ex years later, this episode will provide some tools, skills and insights for healing and moving on in a very loving way.  Enjoy!

16 Feb 2023Vienna Pharaon - Break Family Patterns to Change Your Life01:01:19

Today on Let’s Talk Love, our host Robin Ducharme had the honor of speaking with Vienna Pharaon, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and popular Instagram relationship expert @mindfulmft.

Vienna is the author of The Origins of You: How Breaking Family Patterns Can Liberate the Way We Live and Love, which is a profound guide to understanding and overcoming wounds from your family of origin.

"It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been in therapy for decades, or whether therapy isn’t for you." says Vienna. "It doesn’t matter if you have loads of memories from childhood, or struggle to remember anything at all. All that matters is your willingness to look inside yourself, and your determination to find a new way forward."

We hope this conversation inspires you to read her book and do the inner work of healing old wounds—which in turn can help improve the quality of your relationships and the quality of your life!
