Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

Is your inner critic throwing a party, and you’re not invited? We’ve all been there! It’s easy to get caught in a loop of limiting beliefs that keep you from living your best life. But what if I told you that the key to breaking free is simply a mindset shift away?

In this Language of Love Conversation, I have an amazing conversation with Craig Siegel—renowned motivational speaker, performance coach, and bestselling author of The Reinvention Formula, a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller. Craig’s journey is nothing short of inspiring—from a high-flying career on Wall Street to becoming a global force for personal transformation through his podcast, The CLS Experience, and his impactful keynote speeches. His mission? To help people crush their limiting beliefs and step into their most authentic selves.

We dive deep into the power of personal reinvention, exploring how it’s never too late to make meaningful changes in your life. Craig opens up about his own transformation and shares brilliant insights on how he left his limiting beliefs behind to pursue his true calling.

That’s one of the questions we explore in this Language of Love Session, as I dive into a letter from a listener, Veera, who’s grappling with some common and tricky troubles with intimacy, body image, and self-worth. Veera’s been feeling discomfort and even bleeding during sex with her new partner. She’s wondering, “Is this just because I’m getting older, or are we not a good match?” Veera’s partner suggests she should “relax” through intoxication, which is definitely not the best approach.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re worthy of love (You absolutely are), you’ll want to stick around and hear my advice.

We cover it all:

Losing someone we love is a heartbreak like no other. When I lost my son Sammy, it felt like a piece of me went missing, but that wasn’t the end of our connection. In fact, since he crossed over, I’ve felt his presence in the most unexpected ways. Turns out, love has a way of sticking around—even when we are no longer here in physical form.

In this deeply moving Language of Love Conversation, I’m thrilled to chat with Suzanne Giesemann, a spiritual teacher, evidentiary medium, and author. After the loss of her stepdaughter, Susan, Suzanne began a whole new journey as a spiritual medium, discovering that the bonds we share don’t fade—they just change channels. She even shares her “Sip of the Divine” meditation, a practice that’s helped countless people, including me, turn pain into purpose and keep those we love close at heart. So, if you’re curious about keeping that connection alive or just need a little comfort, this episode is one you won’t want to miss!

Even when we love our in laws, we all also love our space, right? But what do you do when your mother-in-law starts showing up unannounced like she’s got her own set of keys?

In this Language of Love session, I dive into a challenge so many couples face: how to set healthy boundaries with in-laws. Shannon, one of my listeners, writes in to share her frustrations about her mother-in-law's frequent, unannounced visits since moving close to her husband’s hometown. While she appreciates her mother-in-law's help, it’s starting to affect her personal space and her relationship. Shannon's husband doesn't see an issue, and she’s unsure how to navigate this tricky situation without hurting anyone's feelings.

We tackle:

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by a well-meaning but over-involved family member, this episode is for you. And remember, the most important relationship in your family is between you and your partner—it’s the foundation for everything else.

Have you ever wondered why something meant to be pleasurable can sometimes feel uncomfortable or even painful? In this Language of Love Bite, I tackle an important issue we don’t discuss nearly enough—pain during sex. This common experience affects up to 75% of women at some point in their lives, but the good news is that you don’t have to just live with it. There are real reasons behind it, and more importantly, real solutions!

I walk you through the top causes of painful sex, from dryness and pelvic floor issues to more complex conditions like endometriosis. By the end of this episode, you gain the tools and knowledge to address the pain and rediscover pleasure.

We break down the different types of sexual pain and explore what triggers them. Whether it’s hormonal shifts, skeleton-muscular issues , or underlying medical conditions, I provide tips and treatments to help you take back control and enjoy intimacy without discomfort.

In this Bite I share:

In this episode of The Language of Love Conversation, I’m excited to sit down with the incredible Sah D'Simone—meditation teacher, artist, and bestselling author of Spiritually Sassy.

Postpartum sexuality—how often do we actually talk about it? Probably not enough. You’re healing, emotions are high, and intimacy might feel like a distant thought. Meanwhile, your partner might be quietly wondering how to approach it too. So, how do you bring up such a sensitive topic without making it feel like walking on eggshells? And how do you open up when you’re still figuring things out yourself?

In this episode of The Language of Love Sessions, I tackle a heartfelt question from a listener, Jessica, a listener who’s six months postpartum and trying to navigate intimacy in her marriage after a traumatic birth. I offer some compassionate advice on how to communicate openly with her husband and emphasize that honesty and vulnerability are key.

We’ve all been there—life throws us a curveball, and we’re left dealing with trauma. And as much as we’d love just to hit the "ignore" button, trauma has this sneaky way of creeping into our relationships.

In this Language of Love Bite, I dive into the deep end of trauma. We're talking all kinds here—sexual, physical, emotional, rejection, humiliation, abandonment, and betrayal trauma. It's a lot, I know, but recognizing these traumas is the first step to healing.

A lot of people, especially women, still freak out about a few gray hairs or a new wrinkle. So, why not flip the script?

In this episode of The Language of Love Conversation, I sit down with the "Midlife Muse," clinical psychologist, speaker, and author Dr. Amanda Hanson, to dive into the tricky subject of aging—especially for women. Society pushes us to stay forever youthful, but Amanda’s here to remind us that aging can be a beautiful spiritual journey filled with wisdom. Why should our looks stay frozen in time while everything else changes?

Together, Amanda and I encourage women to stop chasing unrealistic beauty standards and embrace their own unique beauty. It’s time to age on our own terms, with more self-love, a little humor, and a community of women who lift each other up!

Here is a sneak peek of what we talk about:
