Sam and Paddy seem to be "excited" about their empty nest, if you know what we mean....

But, the reality is, there is an adjustment period. How do you begin dealing with having that quiet house? Not having to help the kids with homework, running them to sports, or worrying about their problems as much. 

Sam and Paddy talk about embracing the subtle changes that happen as your kids grow, making it a little easier once they are gone. Paddy focuses on the positives of things not disappearing, or walking around naked. Sam got a little sad, but it's all normal. And in all seriousness it comes down to communication, enjoying each others company, and knowing what fights to pick.

This weeks episode, we flip the script and Sam and Patrick are interviewed. During their realization that they haven't been able to truly share their story on their own show, they decided to share this action packed interview with you. 

Sam and Paddy were recently guests on the Attorney Heart Podcast in front of a live studio audience and they are now presenting it to you guys here.

When's the last time you had to forgive someone? 

Forgiveness is a BIG word. So of course in this episode Paddy and Sam decide they are going to tackle this topic.

One thing they discuss is when's the right time to apologize? How do you figure out who's at "fault" and what are the steps you have to take to forgive those who have hurt you.

Once they get through the conversation of Patrick forgiving his penis for being a grower not a show-er. Sam talks about the most important concept of forgiveness...which is you forgive someone for yourself, not for them. Paddy may have a different take. Tune in to hear more on this insanely large topic.

This week Sam and Paddy sit down with Alexandra Miu. They discuss tantra, different forms of sex, orgasms, and so much more including how to reclaim your inner power in relationships. Both Sam and Patrick discuss their ventures into this world and how they've navigated almost without trying. 

Alexandra Miu, like many out there, has experienced abuse, trauma, pain and failures. She grew up feeling insecure, kind of a nerdy kid in a village in Romania. Feeling like she had to always prove herself. And that took a huge toll on her confidence and self-esteem.

Family life was in turmoil, and after a failed marriage at the age of 25, after a divorce, she realized she turned into a scared adult who never felt good enough. Who had a less than healthy relationship with men and felt numb in her own body. But she had this inner knowing that she has something to offer. Something bigger than herself that she had to share.

Working through past conditioning, with years and years of deep-seated insecurities and pain, it wasn’t a walk in the park. But she knew that in order to experience pleasure and a remarkable life, she had to first go through pain.

So now she empowers others to reclaim their inner power. To honour themselves and break free of any limitation and to tap into their most powerful energy – their life force aka their sexual energy.

Sam and Patrick discuss what they truly mean by the "not so perfect couple". They go into details about how nobody is perfect but you can navigate conversations and interactions with others better to improve your relationships. 

Sam points out how she asks herself "what would love do in this situation?". Asking yourself that makes you stop and react differently.
