It's an old-school episode, as Leanna and Jared spend the entire episode being vulnerable about current events in both their lives. Jared talks about his recent breakup and limiting beliefs that come up for him as his relationship ends. He talks about the expectation that society plays in men having to be the main sexual driver and how his need for emotional intimacy first is so often misunderstood as lack of desire. Leanna talks about how 4 different men showed up in her life, including one blast from the past. She talks about her continued healing from her breakup and she owns up to a big mistake that she made in her last relationship. Finally, the two answer a light-hearted question from a listener and end with their gratitudes.

Teresa brings her expertise in how to build resilience and empowerment not only within one's self, but also within relationships.
