In real time, we share the emotions, the anxieties, and the excitement of what happens when trust is tested — and when desire sparks in new ways.Join us for the full play-by-play: the lead-up, the encounter, and the raw reflections afterward. This episode is packed with honesty, vulnerability, and the sexy tension that comes when love and adventure collide.Tune in to hear how one solo date deepened our connection, challenged our comfort zones, and left us closer than ever. 💬❤️With love,Anna & Aiden 💕Email us!

We’re back, loves — and this one is packed. 💌 After taking a little break, we return with stories, lessons, and laughter from our latest adventures in love, dating, and the lifestyle.In our last episode, we made a bold offer: what if we could actually date you, our listeners? We thought it was a genius hack — bypass the apps, cut through the noise, and connect with amazing people who already know our vibe. Here we reveal what happened when we put ourselves out there…This foolishness taught us more than we expected about connection, vulnerability, and how sometimes it's big leap for people to really put themselves out there.Also, Superman nd Wonderwoman are back in our orbit — and things get complicated. From a surprise drink night out to political dealbreakers (yes, politics can be a major cockblock), we found ourselves balancing values and desire in ways we didn’t see coming. What started as a simple meetup turned into one of the hottest nights we’ve had in awhile… just not in the way we imagined. 😉We also take you inside an epic party that brought together our overlapping worlds — burners, ravers, tantra friends, poly folks, and a swirl of open-minded humans in one gorgeous mansion with DJs, fire dancers, cuddle piles, and secret playrooms. We share what went down, the surprises that came our way, and how being “fake swingers” in a mostly poly crowd taught us even more about our own preferences.This episode isn’t just about hookups and experiments. As usual, we dive deep into:Why trust and reassurance are the true foundation of open relationshipsHow to balance individuation with partnership without losing connectionWhy empathy (even in the lifestyle) matters as much as attractionAnd how “hacking love” is as much about growing as a couple and individuals, as it is about finding sexy fun!At the heart of it all? We’re here to explore love, intimacy, and the messy, hilarious, beautiful journey of connection — with plenty of laughs along the way. 💕With love,Anna & Aiden 💕Hacking Love Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1YFEEPwYeB/Instagram @HackingLove_Podcast#CouplesGrowth #RetreatReflections #RelationshipGoals #ManifestingConnection #LoveBeyondBoundaries #OpenConversations #EmotionalIntimacy

So, we had a bit of a wild idea: What if some of you actually wanted to date us? 😳 Or at least hang out and be friends? 👫After 44 episodes of us sharing our amusing and often arduous journey of trying to find that elusive "unicorn" 4-way connection with a couple, we know the best connections come from friendship and shared energy, not necessarily dating apps.And we just realized that we have already have a massive group of potential friends out there who are listening to us all the time!So here's our pitch: You already know nearly everything about us. Our preferences, insecurities, sexual stuff, banter, health routines, weird jokes — you name it. 😅 Now, we’d love to meet some of you. 👀If you’ve ever listened and thought, “Damn, we’d totally vibe with them,” this is your chance to reach out. 💌We’re inviting couples to:📹 Make a short video together answering a few questions:Are you in the lifestyle (or curious)?What draws you to us / the podcast?Where do you live and can you travel? ✈️What hesitations and hopes do you have?👉 Send it to: [email protected], so you have some idea of what we look like, for fun we asked AI to generate an “approximate” photo of us. 🤖🧑‍🤝‍🧑 It got pretty close - we think! We’ve posted it to our Facebook group.Our keywords here are playful, vulnerable, and curious—less “sexy stranger hookup,” more “cool friends first, maybe more if it’s mutual.” ✨ Whether anyone bites or not, we promise to keep it fun and will respond to everyone who reaches out, We will also plan to share what happens in upcoming episodes. 🎧And if no one responds? Even funnier.So if you’re feeling curious, brave, and aligned with our vibe… we’d love to meet you. 💛With love, weirdness, and zero expectations,Anna & Aiden 💕Hacking Love Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1YFEEPwYeB/Instagram @HackingLove_Podcast#CouplesGrowth #RetreatReflections #RelationshipGoals #ManifestingConnection #LoveBeyondBoundaries #OpenConversations #EmotionalIntimacy
