Love, Evolved: Conscious Relationships with Leigh-Anne LoPinto

What happens when spirituality is psychologically ungrounded? Today I share the real dangers that I’ve seen when this is the case, and how we can avoid this with a true psycho-spiritual approach. The importance of grounded psychological work for those who lean in a more spiritual direction cannot be overstated. Psycho-spiritual integration is KEY… The spiritual ego these days is quite strong colle...

The one thing I wish more couples understood is that arguments don’t come out of nowhere, and it’s rarely one person’s “fault.” A relationship by definition is two people coming together and creating the dynamic. We bring our baggage, our triggers, our unhealed wounds in relationships, and all of the stuff running in the background that shapes how we show up with other people. The number one thing...

Victim mentality is something we should all have compassion for, as it’s the way most of us are programmed from the start. Victim mentality is “poor me” thinking, feeling like life is against you. It’s a passive, disempowered state where one lacks agency and personal responsibility. Often, when we are stuck in victim mentality, life doesn’t feel good at all. We are stuck in a state of disappointme...

If you tend to avoid the tougher emotions of life - fear, shame, anger, and sadness, you’ll want to listen to this one. On the flip side, if you don’t avoid these emotions, but instead get stuck in them, then this is also for you. In this episode, I share an introduction to emotional alchemy - how we learn to work with our tougher emotions in a much more productive way, neither avoiding them, nor...

After focusing on ground level psychological foundations this year, I return to the deeply spiritual aspect of this path and the importance of an integrated approach. I discuss energy clearing, the path of divine union as the move towards spiritual wholeness (NOT a romantic relationship, as it’s commonly referred to) and much more. My work has not been traditional therapy for years. It is a blend...

“One of the hallmarks of disturbed characters (narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths) is their pathological lack of shame.” - George Simon, Character Disturbance Most people lump shame into one thing and think that it's all bad, all of the time. This couldn't be further from the truth. In this episode, I share the critical difference between healthy shame and toxic shame. And how missing the bo...

In today’s episode, I get really honest and cut to the chase, sharing who’s right for this path and who it might not be the best fit for. Here are some attributes that I look for in my clients, and in people who are best suited for this path: They resonate with the path of relationships that I outline, and are excited at the possibility of walking it. They typically feel very aligned with it, like...

In this episode, I share about the intense shame I had when my relationship crumbled, and how so many people still struggle with this in their own way. I also share honestly what I see on the collective right now with the state of relationships, and what the path forward is. Links mentioned: Start Here (foundational resources) Part Two of My Story: Recovering from Divorce — About me: My name is Le...

For the next few months, I'm going to be focusing on the most important foundational work that you can do to improve your relationships. This includes: - developing secure attachment - freeing ourselves from codependency - cultivating true self-love and self-worth - learning about boundaries - developing crystal clear communication skills In the path of relationships that I teach, I call this Leve...

In this episode, Rayna Boychuk (Self Love Lounge) and I sit down to talk about why it’s time NOW for women to embrace our full feminine expression. This is a call to action for women to get over the passive, repressed style of communication and become comfortable speaking truth, because we recognize that this is the greatest act of love - for ourselves and for humanity. Rayna shares her personal s...

In this episode with the prolific, wise and beautiful Ayesha Ophelia, we chat about the current state of love, relationships, men and money - speaking about a wide array of topics like masculine-feminine polarity, shadow work, spirituality vs ground level relationship skills, and so much more. Ayesha Ophelia is a spiritual teacher, author, and creative visionary working at the intersection of myth...

In this episode, I speak to the Upper Limit Problem that so many of us face in our relationships and life at large. This phenomenon is when we have a ceiling of how much goodness, love, etc we can actually handle - and then we unconsciously block these blessings to bring our nervous systems down to a level that it feels more comfortable. A simple way to think about it is self-sabotage. The Upper L...

This is foundational work! I cover passive, aggressive, and assertive communication styles, and how we can move towards the healthy, mature middle way, weaving in some of my own journey along the way. Healthy, open, and loving communication is the cornerstone of all of our relationships. This work cannot be overstated. Please listen, and comment with how this lands. I’d love to hear. Opening to Lo...

Sexuality has been divorced from love, and we need to bring these two things back together in order to restore harmony to the planet. They have been severed for a reason, and it is not in service to the greater good of humanity. This is way more than just something that would be nice to have - it represents a huge key in the healing and evolution of human relationships, and therefore, humanity at...

Are All Relationships Meant to Last Forever? I’m sharing the hardest lesson in relationships that I’ve had to learn so far. This is a tender episode, but is a topic that I feel is so important for us to talk about. What are your thoughts and feelings about this topic? Are relationship endings a ‘failure?’ Or is there another perspective? I’d love to hear what you think, either in the comments belo...

Welcome to Season 3 of the podcast! I had a huge past week with what felt like a true birth, the class that I taught on Healing the Relationship Between Men and Women was massive. I can’t not mention it here. This class is a culmination of 11 years of walking the path both personally and professionally, working directly with over 1000 clients as a psychologist on this very topic. We’ve been gather...

I often say this is not a path for the weak-willed, and the truth is that people usually come to this work after they have tried everything else possible. It is the moment of initiation, surrender, and sometimes, the dark night of the soul. While this path is risky (to the ego and to the status quo of our lives!) it is also the greatest gift that I have been given in my life and leads to true libe...

Today, we’ll speak of some helpful guidelines to bring to relationships in order to get through bumps in the road a little bit smoother. Links mentioned: Start Here Inner Union, Alchemy, and Healing the Relationship Between Men + Women — About me: My name is Leigh-Anne LoPinto, and I’m devoted to the new paradigm of relationships. For the past 15 years, I’ve worked with people 1:1 and in groups to...

Season 2, Episode 22: At this point, it’s squarely up to us. Nobody is coming to save us. — I am incredibly frustrated (and also a bit mind blown) that people still aren’t getting it that the answer is not to have women and men go back in time to where men are the providers and women are the child bearers. I have never said that this dynamic cannot be part of the new paradigm, but the interplay be...

‘Hurt people hurt people’ is often true, but not always... Sometimes, hurt people don’t hurt other people. And sometimes, people who haven’t been hurt hurt other people. Why does it matter? It actually matters significantly with how we show up in human relationships and how we approach and respond to harmful, abusive behavior - both in ourselves and in others. I believe understanding the nuance ar...

In this episode, I speak on the concept of ‘separate, purify, and unite’ in alchemy and how this applies to our inner union process, the process of outer union (especially in romantic relationships), and more importantly, how this applies to the bigger interplay between healing the relationship between men + women. On a basic level, we need to keep the polarities separate in order to purify them d...

This is a companion podcast episode to the prior one on Energy Clearing and serves as the other side of the coin. Yes, we do our shadow work and energetic clearing. AND, we take responsibility to step into our right sized place as the leaders, visionaries, and wayshowers of the new paradigm of relationships. We are the Keepers of the Frequency and must allow ourselves to come up and out of the dar...

In this episode, I cover why the energetic side of healing is critically important. For most of us, an combination of psychological healing in addition to energy clearing is a huge key - and one that many people miss. Especially in the field of psychology, this is not widely spoken about - yet. I believe one day this will change. Due to a tough lesson in my own life, I learned that both parts are...

In this episode, I speak about how this path of relationships is a deeply spiritual path, and will provide enough material for you to evolve over lifetimes. I lay out what I mean when I speak of the 'new paradigm' of relationships and highlight the specific parts and details of this path. We cover: * the huge issue of content addiction without integration or application * why you are the visionari...

It is a deep and profound honor to welcome my teacher, Shannon Port, onto the podcast, who shares generously with us about the path of the true Divine Feminine. This episode is not to be missed and is a potent stream specifically for our listeners. In our conversation, Shannon shares how she came into this work from an early age, the unfolding of her life’s work and magnum opus, and how this path...
