I Received an Erotic Massage from Shaun Galanos
If you haven't heard part 1, I strongly recommend you start there.
One of my former clients shares what prompted her to reach out to me, what the session felt like from beginning to end, and what lasting effects she experienced from receiving loving touch and attention from me.
We explore the importance of slowing (everything) down, what giving loving touch looks (and feels) like, and why it's crucial to be curious about your partner's sexuality.
You don't want to miss this one.

Storytime: Heart to Heart with Shaun
Hey, lovebirds. It's been a while since I've shared with you what's happening for me. There's been a lot of growth for me in the last two years (and especially in the last 6 weeks) and wanted to take this opportunity to share some of it with you. I'm also taking this time to talk about how The Love Drive came to be, what kind of work I'm currently doing, and where The Love Drive is headed.

Free Love Advice: The Great Fear of Being Alone
Our greatest fear is that we'll end up alone. Either our partner will leave us, or we'll never find someone to grow old with.
What if we let go of that idea? What if we learned to live in the present moment, with no expectation that the love we have will be forever? What if we stopped looking for the perfect partner?
What then?

Free Love Advice: Online Dating Sucks
Online dating can suck. Especially when you're using it to get an ego boost, or because you're bored. And especially when the folks on the other end of the screen are doing the exact same thing.
No wonder it's hard to connect with people in a meaningful way.
So if looking for the lover of your life online is depressing, what else can you do? What did folks do before dating apps?
Let's explore just that.
~~~
How can we stay present when we're waiting for the other shoe to drop?
What about when we're terrified of losing the partner we love so much?
How can we feel gratitude for the present moment and live in the here and now?
