Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

In this episode of the Language of Love Conversation, I welcome Suzy Miller, a former pediatric speech pathologist whose world was turned upside down when a nonverbal four-year-old boy named Riley communicated with her telepathically.  Riley revealed a stunning truth: he needed Suzy’s help to integrate his “light body” with his physical form. This encounter launched Suzy on a journey to redefine autism not as a deficit, but as a superhuman ability, a different way of being that holds a mirror to our own unhealed energies and invites us into a more authentic, heart-centered existence. Together we explore: How those on the spectrum act as mirrors, reflecting the unacknowledged emotions of those around them Why many people with autism struggle with being fully “in their bodies” and what that means energetically The mismatch between their high vibrational frequency and the dense conditioning of our physical world How so-called “problem behaviors” can be understood as communication and energetic processing Practical tools like the Blue Sphere technique for releasing heavy emotions and raising your vibration Ways parents, teachers, and loved ones can authentically connect with these extraordinary beings Suzy’s work is a beautiful call to action for parents, educators, and all of us to shift our perception, embrace deeper authenticity, and learn the language of energy and love.

What if the thing you crave most is the one thing you can’t say out loud?  You love your partner. The sex is good. But there’s more inside you—a desire you’ve never voiced. Not because it’s wrong… but because you’re terrified of what might happen if you do. Will they judge you? Will they feel like they’re not enough? Could it change everything?   In this Language of Love session, I connect with Kelly, who’s been married for five years and loves her husband deeply. Their sex life? Pretty solid. But there’s a part of her that wants more. She has desires she’s never shared—and she’s terrified that voicing them might hurt his feelings or make him think he’s not enough. So what do you do when you want to grow sexually with your partner, but you’re afraid it could backfire? In this session, we talk through: Why it’s not a great idea to talk about fantasies in the middle of sex (and when to do it instead) How to open up these conversations in a way that feels safe, honest, and even exciting The “Fantasy Box” game I love recommending to couples who want to spice things up together How to find creative middle ground when your fantasies don’t totally match If you’ve ever held back something in the bedroom because you didn’t want to rock the boat, you’re going to feel seen in this one. And if Kelly’s story sounds a little like yours, I’d love to hear from you. Email me at languageoflovepod@gmail.com—your story could help someone else feel less alone.

When that desire for sex hits hard, like I need this now, have you ever paused and thought… is this really about sex? Or is it something else? A need to feel safe? Held? Less alone? In this Language of Love Bite, we’re talking about the kind of sex that doesn’t always come from turn-on, but from a deeper part of us that’s craving regulation. Because the truth is, your nervous system plays a much bigger role in desire than most of us realize. We talk about how your body might be reaching for sex not out of passion, but as a way to self-soothe and how to gently tell the difference. I also share a simple body-based practice you can use anytime to check in with yourself and get really honest about what you’re actually needing in the moment. This isn’t about shame. It’s about choice. And giving yourself the chance to have sex that feels nourishing… not just numbing. We explore: Why your body might crave sex when it’s actually craving safety How past experiences shape the way we reach for intimacy The subtle signs you might be using sex to regulate your emotions A go-to somatic practice (“Body Yes / Body No”) to check what’s really going on inside How to shift from survival sex to sacred, satisfying connection   Ever had sex and felt more empty afterward? You’re not alone and there’s nothing wrong with you. There’s just more going on beneath the surface. If you’re ready to explore the deeper layers of your intimacy, grab my book Sex Magic, a powerful invitation to challenge everything you’ve been taught about your sexuality and self-worth. Because sex should feel like coming home to yourself, not like you’re trying to fill an invisible gap. Want to uncover what’s holding you back in bed and beyond? Take the free quiz on my website to get clarity and personalized insights into your intimacy blocks. And while you're there, don’t miss 7 Days to Better Sex, a practical, transformative program that helps you get in the driver’s seat of your sex life, actively creating the passion and connection you truly desire.

Liz Entin didn't believe in an afterlife. She wasn’t spiritual, and she avoided thinking about death. That changed after she  lost her father. His death didn't just bring grief, it sparked a search for answers. In this episode, Liz shares how that search led her into quantum physics, reincarnation research, and mediumship. We talk about how she went from skeptic to believer after encountering evidence she couldn’t ignore. She even tested psychics using fake names and burner phones, trying to confirm or debunk what they said. Liz is the author of WTF Just Happened?!: A Sciencey-Skeptic Explores Grief, Healing, and Evidence of an Afterlife and the host of the WTF Just Happened?! podcast. What makes her story unique is that it’s based on firsthand experiences and real evidence, not blind faith. Liz discusses: The moment she realized life after death couldn’t be dismissed The University of Virginia’s reincarnation studies that shifted her perspective Her secret tests of mediums with Google Voice numbers, fake names, and burner emails The signs and synchronicities that changed everything for her How she accidentally gave her own mediumship reading How afterlife awareness shifts the grief journey  Liz’s story is about more than loss. It’s about discovering something deeper in the wake of tragedy. If you’ve ever questioned what happens after we die, or if you’re hoping for a sign from someone you’ve lost, this episode is for you.

So the date’s going really well. The drinks are flowing, the laughter is effortless, the chemistry? Off the charts. One thing leads to another... and you sleep together. Now you’re lying in bed, wondering: Was that a mistake? Should you have waited? Does having sex so soon make you seem less serious—or just honest about your desires? Can it create real connection, or does it shut the door before anything deeper begins? In this Language of Love Session, I  respond to a heartfelt question from Susie, who finds herself second-guessing her decision to have sex on the first date. I explore the emotional landmines of modern dating—especially in a world of ghosting, dating apps, and conflicting advice. You will learn: Why dating apps have changed the rules—and how to protect your heart How delaying sex can reveal true intentions (without playing games) What oxytocin does to your brain (and why it matters after sex) The truth about “earning” intimacy—and how it builds mutual respect Why your sexuality is a gift, and how to share it with intention When first-date sex does work—and what to watch for if it doesn’t If you’ve ever second-guessed sleeping with someone too soon—or felt like you gave too much too fast—this one’s for you. And if someone disappears after sex, I explain why that says everything about them, not you. Have your own story to share or a question for Dr. Berman? Email languageoflovepod@gmail.com.

Have you ever lost someone you love and found yourself wondering… where did they go? Are they still near? Can they feel me? In this episode of Language of Love Conversations, I’m joined by Anita Moorjani. A bestselling author and globally respected speaker, Anita has been a guiding light for me and for many who have walked through grief. When I lost my mother 12 years ago, her book Dying to Be Me helped me feel less alone and more connected to something beyond this life. Anita’s story is nothing short of miraculous. After a four-year battle with cancer, her body shut down completely. Doctors declared she wouldn’t make it. But during a 30-hour near-death experience, Anita crossed over into what she describes as the most loving, peaceful, and joy-filled space imaginable. There was no pain. No fear. Just pure freedom. And yet, she could still feel her family’s sorrow. She wanted so badly to comfort them, to let them know she was okay. She was in a much better place now, but had no body, no words. What she experienced during that time challenged everything she’d ever believed. In this episode, Anita opens up about what she saw on the other side and how even the soul of her estranged father met her in love. What she learned changed her life. It just might change yours, too. We talk about: Anita’s experience with cancer, death, and healing What she learned about love, forgiveness, and who we really are How your loved ones keep supporting you after they’re gone Why you don’t have to keep grieving to show your love, and how healing helps you and them How her father’s spirit helped her live without fear Ways you can raise your energy to connect with those who have passed What spirit looks like, if it has a body, and if it changes over time How her healing affected the doctors and medical staff Advice for those who lost a partner and wonder if it’s okay to love again What instant manifestation looks like after death Why some disturbing dreams aren’t messages from loved ones, and how real messages come through Anita’s thoughts on reincarnation and soul plans and the 360-degree tapestry of life The three main truths she learned on the other side Why life can feel like a video game with more going on behind the scenes If Anita’s story speaks to you, you can read her  book Dying to Be Me. or visit her website.  You can also find her on LinkedIn and YouTube. There’s a Sedona retreat coming soon for those interested. If you’re grieving, you don’t have to go through it alone. Check out the Good Grief Course on my website for support and guidance.

What do same-sex fantasies really mean? You’re in a loving, heterosexual relationship. You feel close to your partner—emotionally and physically. And yet… your imagination is taking you somewhere unexpected. Somewhere that involves desire, intimacy, and sex—with the same gender. In this episode of Language of Love Session, we dive into this very experience through Chelsea’s story. She’s been with her male partner for years. Their bond is strong. The love is real. But lately, her mind has been drifting. Recurring sexual fantasies about women have started popping up—quietly, insistently, and powerfully. She hasn’t acted on them. She doesn’t want to end her relationship. But she can’t help but wonder: “Does this mean I’m gay or bi? Or are same-sex fantasies just… fantasies?” This session unpacks what fantasies are really about—why they don’t always match our lived desires, and how you can explore them without fear or shame. You don’t need a label to ask the question. You’re allowed to be curious. If you’ve ever wondered what your fantasies might mean—or if they mean anything at all—this one’s for you. We explore: Why same-sex fantasies are far more common than you think (especially for women) What the Kinsey Scale can teach you about the fluidity of sexual desire How to separate fantasy from identity—and why they don’t always need to match Why you don’t have to act on a fantasy for it to be meaningful, fun, or real The difference between curiosity, confusion, and true longing And if you’re exploring new territory in your mind or your relationship, I’d love to hear from you.

You know that weird knot in your stomach when your partner doesn’t text back? Or that moment when, after an argument, you just totally shut down? What if I told you those little patterns don’t just mess with your relationship—they sneak into your sex life too? In this Language of Love Bite, we’re getting real about something we all bring to the bedroom but almost never talk about: your attachment style. I’m talking about how the way you love is literally the way you touch. Whether you’re anxious, avoidant, secure, or somewhere in between, those patterns show up in bed—and not always in ways you expect. This isn’t about slapping a label on you. It’s about freeing you. Because once you get what’s really going on, you can change the script—and finally experience the kind of intimacy your body and heart have been starving for. Here’s what  uncover together: Why anxious attachment can make sex feel like a test you’re scared to fail—and why rejection hits like a gut punch. Why avoidant attachment might have you pulling away from closeness, even when you’re totally turned on. How disorganized attachment turns desire into a confusing, scary mix—often tied to old wounds you didn’t even realize were still there. What secure attachment really feels like—being safe, present, and emotionally connected during sex. And the one powerful question that reveals your true sexual attachment needs—and opens the door to healing Whether you're over-giving in bed, emotionally checking out, or somewhere in the middle, this episode offers a mirror—and a map. Your patterns aren’t permanent. With awareness, your attachment style can evolve. And sex? It can become a space of deep healing, not just habit. Want to go deeper?

The truth is, death doesn’t sever bonds. Love doesn’t end with a last breath. And if you’ve ever longed for one more moment, one more word, one more chance to say I love you… This might change everything.  In this powerful episode, I sit down with my dear friend Rebecca Rosen, a celebrated evidential medium and soul guide, for a live, unfiltered session that bridges worlds. Together, we explore how grief, while devastating, can also become a doorway, not just to healing, but to a connection far deeper and more enduring than you ever thought possible. Like so many of you, I’ve wrestled with the ache of loss, and I’ve also seen how that ache cracks us wide open to experiences that defy logic but speak straight to the soul. The truth is, our loved ones aren’t gone. They’re speaking… just in a different language. And once you learn how to hear them, you’ll realize they’ve been with you all along.  We dive into: Why mediumship isn’t reserved for a “special few,” and that we all have the gift of intuition How grief, trauma, and even daily stress can block your ability to connect—and how to shift it The difference between the 3D, 4D, and 5D realms (and how to access higher guidance) What the Akashic Records are and how they can reveal messages from your soul family How to spot signs from your loved ones and strengthen your trust in their presence Simple practices to raise your vibration, heal energetically, and create "heaven on earth" The truth about soul contracts, soul groups, and why even loss can serve your spiritual growth If you’ve ever doubted the whispers of your heart, this conversation will awaken you to a love that never dies. Press play. Open your mind. And prepare to meet them again, for the first time. P.S. Don’t miss Rebecca’s What’s Your Heaven?—a breathtaking guide to finding peace now, not just in the afterlife.
