Love, Evolved: Conscious Relationships with Leigh-Anne LoPinto

Grab your notebook and pen!  In this episode, I'm sharing a full class with you on the differences between matrix-style relationships and higher love.  Essentially, I'm describing how most people are doing relationships vs where we're headed - from the dark ages to the light. Consensus reality relationships vs the new paradigm of highly conscious relationships and spiritual partnership. Here are the seven key differences I describe:- The Basis of Attraction (trauma bonds vs clean attraction)- Fixed vs Growth Mindset- Victim Mentality vs Personal Responsibility- S.xual Distortions vs Sacred S.xuality- External vs. Internal Orientation- Truth vs Falsehood- Views on Time ApartThis is a deep dive into the basis of my work, what I stand for, and where I'm guiding people towards.  If you have any questions, or need support, please book a free 30 minute call with me to go deeper and learn how we can work together.  As always, I'm including a ton of resources for you below.Book a Free 30 Minute Callhttps://calendly.com/leighannel/free-30-minute-callAttachment Styles + How to Healhttps://www.love-evolved.us/attachment-styles--how-to-heal.htmlThe Trap of Codependency + How to Break Freehttps://www.love-evolved.us/the-trap-of-codependecy.htmlThe War on Love, Sex + RelationshipsAlchemy, Divine Union, and Spiritual EnlightenmentTowards Sexual SovereigntyEmpath/Narcissism with Dr. George SimonTranscending the Control GameThe Frequency of TruthCarol Dweck on Growth MentalityVictim/Drama TriangleEmpowerment TriangleConnect with Leigh-Anne below: THE VISIONARIES: My Community The Wayshowers: Mentorship Leigh-Anne's Instagram Leigh-Anne's Website Leigh-Anne's Substack Book a Free 30 Min Call I hope you enjoy this episode - please share it with anyone who might benefit!And, please rate, review, and subscribe if you find this podcast useful.

What a fun episode all about relationship astrology!  Sarah Norris is a spiritual coach with a heart centred, holistic approach. She weaves astrology, tarot, yoga and aromatherapy together to guide you to personal empowerment, using the information from the readings in a constructive and practical way.We get into the basics of relationship astrology, both what you can learn from your own birth chart, and from a synastry chart (comparing two people together). We get into the basics of working with astrology for insights into our relationships, focusing mostly on romantic relationships, and how we can use our birth chart to understand ourselves better, understand our partners better, and how we can work together in partnership. We cover general compatibility through sun signs, Venus and Mars placements, and the descendant.  We also talk about how Venus and Mars relate to the divine feminine and masculine energies, and ways you can go deeper when looking to see what house each of these falls in.Sarah also covers some interesting bits about the north node and south node placements in a synastry chart that I had never learned before.  She also shares about the different aspects and what they mean (sextile, trine, conjunction, opposition, square, etc.) We hope you enjoy this episode; what questions or comments do you have for us?  Relationship astrology can go so, so deep, so I highly recommend that you book a session with Sarah if you want to go deeper.Sarah's website for readingsSarah's baby books for astrologySarah's InstagramSarah's FacebookTo pull free astrology charts:https://www.astro.com/https://cafeastrology.com/Book recommendations:Linda Goodman - Sun SignsDebra Silverman - The Missing ElementIntro + Outro music:  "Medicine" by HOL + Layv:https://open.spotify.com/track/4BqVa6DrpX8h7RWEBIcy6H?si=01c847feae5c45dehttps://www.instagram.com/hollygottlieb/Connect with Leigh-Anne below: THE VISIONARIES: My Community The Wayshowers: Mentorship Leigh-Anne's Instagram Leigh-Anne's Website Leigh-Anne's Substack Book a Free 30 Min Call I hope you enjoy this episode - please share it with anyone who might benefit!And, please rate, review, and subscribe if you find this podcast useful.

I loved this conversation with Sophie + Yerasimos about their relationship of almost 10 years.  They are both deeply dedicated to inner work and growth, which really shows in the marriage they've created.  We speak about how important it was for them to build a strong foundation of friendship first, which allowed them to get to know each other in a way that looks very different from the typical process of dating.  We also discussed how they get through conflict in a healthy way, the importance of not sweeping things under the rug, and elevating each other towards their highest selves. Understanding basic relationship psychology, attachment styles, and parts work are key for these two; in addition to understanding the nervous system and human design.Personal responsibility is a huge value for these two, and it really shows!  I have seen this to be such a key value in healthy relationships, when both people are able to take ownership for their stuff, to apologize and repair. These two are so real and straightforward; lots of takeaways for inspiration.  Reach out with any comments or questions!LINKSYerasimos + Joel's Here for the Truth podcasthttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/here-for-the-truth/id1570026970?i=1000645752674Sophie + Yerasimos' wedding videohttps://www.instagram.com/reel/C3J7lOYtNOz/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==Yerasimos' links:http://www.riseabovetheherd.co/https://hereforthetruth.com/https://www.instagram.com/_yerasimos/Sophie's links:https://sophiefletcherphd.com/about-sophiehttps://www.instagram.com/sophiefletcher.phd/https://www.thekindbrain.com/back-to-you-retreatIntro + Outro music:  "Medicine" by HOL + Layv:https://open.spotify.com/track/4BqVa6DrpX8h7RWEBIcy6H?si=01c847feae5c45dehttps://www.instagram.com/hollygottlieb/Connect with Leigh-Anne below: THE VISIONARIES: My Community The Wayshowers: Mentorship Leigh-Anne's Instagram Leigh-Anne's Website Leigh-Anne's Substack Book a Free 30 Min Call I hope you enjoy this episode - please share it with anyone who might benefit!And, please rate, review, and subscribe if you find this podcast useful.

In this episode, I'm so happy to speak with Joel Schafer, a shamanic dreaming arts teacher, about sexuality and relationships from a shamanic perspective.We get into so much together - the predator energy at the heart of sexual trauma and abuse energy, working consciously with our sexuality, collective patterns of open relationships, how monogamy is a path of honor, and gender confusion.We also speak about the dynamics between men + women, working together in a complementary way, evolutionary relationships, and so much more.This episode is a joy to listen to, and Joel offers so much wisdom.Joel Schafer is a shamanic dreaming arts teacher offering courses as well as mentoring sessions for individuals and couples in which he assists and guides people in emotional & energetic transformation. Joel teaches shamanic movements, recapitulation, dreaming awake training & gazing disciplines.

This week, I share the story of my almost 20 year relationship with my ex-husband and father of my child, the man I truly believed was my soulmate, and how I moved through total rock bottom when our marriage collapsed.I share the hard lessons I had to learn about what I was bringing into the relationship that was not working (things like insecure attachment, low self worth, codependency, and victim mentality) and how I healed.I also share how I learned to love and value myself, moved into secure attachment, learned about boundaries, and unhooked from codependency.  And, how I stopped being a people pleaser and moved into true authenticity.  I also speak about how I learned to navigate conflict, speak truth, and become an empowered empath.  There's so much more in this episode, too!Healing from divorce and hard break-ups is 100% possible when we understand that there is wisdom in the wounds and have support people around us who can help alchemize and learn the lessons that we need to learn.As always, I share tons of resources in the show notes, including my video lessons on How to Heal from a Breakup and The Trap of Codependency.RESOURCES:Video Lesson:  How to Heal From a BreakupVideo Lesson:  The Trap of Codependency + How to Break FreePodcast:  Conscious Relationships: The Foundations for SuccessFree Guide:  How to Choose a Partner WiselyLynne Forrest's article on the drama triangleBook: Conscious LovingBook:  Transformation through IntimacyConnect with Leigh-Anne below: THE VISIONARIES: My Community The Wayshowers: Mentorship Leigh-Anne's Instagram Leigh-Anne's Website Leigh-Anne's Substack Book a Free 30 Min Call I hope you enjoy this episode - please share it with anyone who might benefit!And, please rate, review, and subscribe if you find this podcast useful.

This is the most public I have ever been about my story. [Note: I don't get into details of the abuse, but rather focus on the negative affects I faced as a result, and the approach I took to heal.  This is a fairly easy listen, so please dive in.]  I have learned that a dual approach to healing is required - working both psychologically and energetically - and share why.  Sexual abuse is a major challenge we are facing collectively, and in order to heal, we need to speak openly and honestly, remove the shame, and get to work.The energy behind this is a predator that seeks to control and manipulate in order to gain power.  Once you understand this, it gives you a much more complete picture of how to address it.In this episode, I share:- How the negative impacts of abuse showed up in my life, both psychologically and energetically- Dealing with social anxiety, poor boundaries, low self worth, sexual shame, promiscuity, distrust of men, internalized misogyny, and major drug and alcohol abuse- How a history of this kind of abuse can create love and sex addictions- The story of my last major partnership and how the energy was working behind the scenes to destroy things- How healing needs to include a psychological approach in addition to an energetic approach, and what that looks like- Tons of resources below:Sexual SovereigntyThe War on Love, Sex + RelationshipsBreathwork:- My intro video here.- Here is the first energy clearing breathwork. - This is the second audio that focuses on clearing the sexual abuse energy.Eve Lorgen - The Dark Side of CupidBernhard Guenther's articleHere for the TruthHealing - David Elliott (p 140-175)Energetic BoundariesConnect with Leigh-Anne below: THE VISIONARIES: My Community The Wayshowers: Mentorship Leigh-Anne's Instagram Leigh-Anne's Website Leigh-Anne's Substack Book a Free 30 Min Call I hope you enjoy this episode - please share it with anyone who might benefit!And, please rate, review, and subscribe if you find this podcast useful.

In this episode, I go deeper on the topic of codependency in parenting.I talk about what codependency is and how it shows up in the parent/child relationship - through a lack of healthy boundaries, enmeshment, over-involvement, and more.  Codependency in parenting also correlates to permissive parenting.  Single parents need to be especially vigilant, as codependency can unconsciously cause them to treat the child as their spouse.  They may fill an internal void with the child's life and not give them space to develop their own sense of self.I speak about the negative impacts codependency in parenting has on children and teenagers, and also speak about energetic cords and energetic standpoint of problems it can cause.Ultimately, every step forward in your own healing of codependence will benefit your child (or future children).  I hope this episode is helpful for you; please reach out if you need support.Connect with Leigh-Anne below:Book a Free 30 Minute CallLeigh-Anne's InstagramLeigh-Anne's WebsiteSubstack ArticlesFree Guide: How to Choose a Partner WiselyI hope you enjoy this episode - please rate, review and subscribe to support the podcast.Resources:The Trap of Codependency + How to Break Free:https://www.love-evolved.us/the-trap-of-codependecy.htmlHere for the Truth Episode #167:  The Art of Conscious Relationshipshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/here-for-the-truth/id1570026970?i=1000645752674Sexual Sovereignty:https://leighannelopinto.substack.com/p/towards-sexual-sovereignty-the-alchemicalThe War on Love, Sex + Relationships:https://leighannelopinto.substack.com/p/the-war-on-love-sex-relationshipsThe Rise of Narcissism with Dr. George Simon:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/love-evolved-conscious-relationships/id1589898399?i=1000625190054Alfa Vedic #219 - Neo-Shamanism with Joel Schafer:Connect with Leigh-Anne below: THE VISIONARIES: My Community The Wayshowers: Mentorship Leigh-Anne's Instagram Leigh-Anne's Website Leigh-Anne's Substack Book a Free 30 Min Call I hope you enjoy this episode - please share it with anyone who might benefit!And, please rate, review, and subscribe if you find this podcast useful.
