I thought most divorces came down to “communication issues.” Turns out, the real answer may be much simpler: sex, money, or kids.

In this conversation, I https://www.instagram.com/yanafry and The Forties Formula unpack the three biggest causes of divorce, why long-term couples stop talking honestly about intimacy, and how resentment quietly builds inside a marriage.

We also discuss sexual shame, mismatched expectations, changing desire after children, and why your partner cannot read your mind.

And when couples finally ask for help, the wrong kind of therapy can sometimes make the problem even worse.

62 years of marriage, one bank account, plenty of disagreements… and somehow, divorce was never part of the conversation.

I sat down with Mannie Chidambaram to understand what a long-lasting marriage actually looks like after six decades of building a life, a family, and a partnership together.

Join my 9 Love Archetypes™ Masterclass and decode how finally to be happily married → https://love.yanafry.com

She shares her refreshingly direct marriage advice on money, accepting your partner as they are, why today’s generation feels so restless, and what she believes makes relationships last.

We also talk about women empowerment, whether having more freedom has actually made women happier, and the advice she would give young girls growing up today.

This is less about the “secret to a happy marriage” and more about the life lessons you only get after actually living one for 62 years.

And when I asked Mannie about the happiest moments of her life, her answer brought the whole conversation back to what mattered most.

I thought success was supposed to make dating easier, not turn every date into a quarterly performance review.

In this conversation, I https://www.instagram.com/yanafry explore why high-achieving women can feel confident at work, but deeply vulnerable in love.

We unpack dating in your 40s, anxious attachment, fear of rejection, emotional walls and the pressure to find commitment before time runs out.

We also discuss why successful women may over-give, pay for everything, rush intimacy or walk away after one small mistake.

She told her Wall Street boss, “If I don’t like the job, I’ll quit,” and somehow, that got her hired.

In this episode, I sat down with my mother-in-law Mannie Chidambaram (saying it for the full transparency). :)

She is one of the earliest Indian women to build a successful career on Wall Street. She shares how she entered finance with a mathematics degree, studied accounting at night while raising her son, and refused to give up her career when she was expected to stay home.

This is an honest immigrant success story about women in finance, career resilience, marriage, motherhood, and the confidence to challenge anyone who underestimated her.

And yes, she eventually became the boss whose name everyone had to learn.

How do you end up leading Singapore's biggest conversation on families... when you've never had one of your own?

When I first heard that a single, childless woman had been chosen to tackle Singapore's birth rate crisis, I had the same questions everyone else did.

Then I listened to Minister Indranee Rajah telling her story on Rachel Lim’s Who We Are Podcast https://www.youtube.com/@ms_rach, and it completely changed how I saw the conversation. In this episode, we unpack her remarkable life, the heartbreaking personal journey that shaped her views on family, the backlash over her appointment, and the real challenges behind Singapore's declining fertility rate.

After leaving Switzerland to build a new life in Singapore, Marion Müller expected cultural differences. What she didn't expect was how much those differences would shape her relationships.

In this conversation with me, Marion opens up about the highs and lows of dating in Singapore, from being scammed by someone she trusted, to navigating different expectations around family, independence, ambition, and lifestyle.

She shares why many tall Caucasian women struggle to date in Singapore, why cultural differences often matter more than attraction, and how every relationship, even the painful ones, helped her understand what she truly wants.

Your calendar is full, your career is moving, your life looks impressive… so why is love still sitting in the “later” folder?

In this episode, I’m speaking directly to successful single women who want a real relationship, but keep postponing dating until after the next promotion, business idea, book, trip, or life reset.

At the Academy of Love, I see this pattern all the time: ambitious women aren’t avoiding love because they don’t care, they’re often avoiding the vulnerability, dating fears, relationship patterns, and inner work that lasting love actually requires.

In this episode, I unpack one of the most common but least talked about challenges in marriage: low libido, loss of intimacy, and why so many women feel disconnected from desire after children. We explore the surprising role of hormones, mental load, motherhood, relationship dynamics, and emotional connection in shaping sexual desire.

And tell me in the comments: What do you think has the biggest impact on desire in a long-term relationship: hormones, stress, emotional connection, or something else entirely?

Tantra is not what you think it is. Here is WHY.

Karma Lhatrul Dorji Rinpoche is a reincarnated Tibetan Buddhist master who remembered his past life at the age of three and was returned to the monastery where he was trained in the Dzogchen tradition. In this conversation, Yana Fry asks him about tantra, spiritual practice, modern relationships, love, attachment, and why he believes some teachings can be genuinely dangerous without the right foundation.

They also talked about what it means to find a real guru, why so many relationships fail, and why the modern obsession with tantra may have very little to do with traditional Tantra at all.

If you've ever been curious about Buddhism, Tantra, meditation, mindfulness, spiritual awakening, or the search for deeper meaning, this conversation will challenge many assumptions.
