Finding Love Within Yourself with Amanda Roa

When did sex stop feeling like connection… and start feeling like a task?OH BABY... in this empowering episode, Victoria sits down with Megan Skinnell, RN, BSN, AFMC, registered nurse, certified health coach, and founder of Holsoma Health, to discuss the connection between women’s health, fertility, hormones, and intimacy.Together, they explore how trying to conceive can sometimes turn sex into a stressful routine rather than a pleasurable connection and why understanding your body is essential for both reproductive health and emotional well-being. This conversation is a reminder that fertility is about more than just getting pregnant it’s about reconnecting with your body, communicating your pleasure, and creating a healthy relationship with the ones you love. Support the show------------------------------------------➡ DON’T FORGET #sponsored Make your mental health a priority this year.

What if the reason you keep struggling in love isn't that you need more healing, but that you've spent too much time trying to fix yourself, prove your worth, or earn someone else's love?In this episode of Love & Lattes, Victoria chats with Christy Holt, also known as The Happiness Hussy, to explore the healing hamster wheel, self-abandonment, and what it really means to come home to yourself. Together, they unpack the shift from chaser to lover: moving away from seeking validation and trying to be chosen, and toward self-trust, authenticity, and consciously choosing the relationships that align with who you are. We explore how people-pleasing and overthinking can show up in love, why constantly trying to improve yourself can sometimes keep you stuck, and how asking better questions can change the way you date, communicate, and approach your next relationship.Because self-love isn't about becoming a perfect version of yourself. It's about learning to trust who you are Support the show------------------------------------------➡ DON’T FORGET #sponsored Make your mental health a priority this year.
