My Story, Part One: Healing from Sexual Abuse
Love, Evolved with Leigh-Anne LoPinto: Conscious Relationships
03/25/24 • 62 min
This is the most public I have ever been about my story.
[Note: I don't get into details of the abuse, but rather focus on the negative affects I faced as a result, and the approach I took to heal. This is a fairly easy listen, so please dive in.]
I have learned that a dual approach to healing is required - working both psychologically and energetically - and share why.
Sexual abuse is a major challenge we are facing collectively, and in order to heal, we need to speak openly and honestly, remove the shame, and get to work.
The energy behind this is a predator that seeks to control and manipulate in order to gain power. Once you understand this, it gives you a much more complete picture of how to address it.
In this episode, I share:
- How the negative impacts of abuse showed up in my life, both psychologically and energetically
- Dealing with social anxiety, poor boundaries, low self worth, sexual shame, promiscuity, distrust of men, internalized misogyny, and major drug and alcohol abuse
- How a history of this kind of abuse can create love and sex addictions
- The story of my last major partnership and how the energy was working behind the scenes to destroy things
- How healing needs to include a psychological approach in addition to an energetic approach, and what that looks like

Working with the Inner Masculine for Women - with Katrina Hart
Love, Evolved with Leigh-Anne LoPinto: Conscious Relationships
08/29/23 • 62 min
I'm so happy to share this conversation that I had with my friend Katrina Hart, talking about the journey of evolution through integrating and working with the inner masculine (Carl Jung refers to this as animus integration).
This episode is for any woman who wants to learn more about working with the inner masculine for overall balance and harmony - both within herself and with relationships with others. We speak about the importance of discernment, boundaries, logic, courageousness and overall strength.
When we develop our inner masculine in healthy ways, it can help hold our embodiment of the feminine principle at deeper levels. This also helps us to learn the energetic agility to dance between both energetics as needed in our day to day lives - in addition to knowing the energetic signature of the healthy masculine so we can spot it in men if we are choosing partners.
Books:
The Archetypes and The Collective Unconscious - Carl Jung
Animus and Anima - Emma Jung
The Animus: The Spirit of Inner Truth in Women - Barbara Hannah
Nathan Martin - The Unity Process
Mark Passio - The Unholy Feminine

Relationship Alchemy: Overcoming Codependency (and more!) with Anna Boughlam
Love, Evolved with Leigh-Anne LoPinto: Conscious Relationships
05/18/24 • 84 min
The first episode of Season Two is a powerful conversation with my friend and colleague Anna Boughlam.
This is for you if you've ever experienced any form of mistreatment, have struggled with boundaries, have the caretaker/rescuer/fixer pattern, and could benefit from developing a spine.
We speak about how we recovered from breakups and divorce by taking personal responsibility for our part, using the material that comes up in relationships for deep inner work, and how to alchemize really hard things into our greatest blessing.
In this episode, we talk about:
- how to take personal responsibility
- getting humble and seeing our part
- stepping out of victim mentality
- how our initial relationship patterning comes from childhood
- overcoming codependency
- taking off the rose colored glasses
- the distortions within 'hurt people hurt people'
- developing discernment + boundaries
- how this all relates to parenting
- learning what true love is
- how empathy without boundaries is self-destruction
- energy vampires
- empath/narcissist dynamics
- losing ourselves in relationships
- taking responsibility for where our energy is 'leaking'
- the rescuer/caretaker pattern

Sexuality + Relationships - A Shamanic Perspective with Joel Schafer
Love, Evolved with Leigh-Anne LoPinto: Conscious Relationships
04/12/24 • 76 min
In this episode, I'm so happy to speak with Joel Schafer, a shamanic dreaming arts teacher, about sexuality and relationships from a shamanic perspective.
We get into so much together - the predator energy at the heart of sexual trauma and abuse energy, working consciously with our sexuality, collective patterns of open relationships, how monogamy is a path of honor, and gender confusion.
We also speak about the dynamics between men + women, working together in a complementary way, evolutionary relationships, and so much more.
This episode is a joy to listen to, and Joel offers so much wisdom.
Joel Schafer is a shamanic dreaming arts teacher offering courses as well as mentoring sessions for individuals and couples in which he assists and guides people in emotional & energetic transformation.
Joel teaches shamanic movements, recapitulation, dreaming awake training & gazing disciplines. He has been a student to some very rare medicine men & women, seers, psychics, healers & sorcerers and he shares his knowledge on his channel Perceiver on YouTube and offers free consultation to those that are called to connect.

The Amazing Healing + Transformational Power of Breathwork
Love, Evolved with Leigh-Anne LoPinto: Conscious Relationships
04/01/25 • 57 min
I cannot believe this is my first full episode about breathwork! This practice has completely changed my life, and has healed things that years of therapy were not able to fully heal.
Seven years in, I'm still going strong.
I have seen this CUT THE WORK IN HALF (if not much faster) with the individuals and groups that I work with.
I am so grateful to my teacher David Elliott.
We are living in urgent times, and don't have years to waste anymore. I believe that breathwork is a vital practice - it brings us to the heart of the matter.
The type of breathwork that I teach is a longer style done lying down. The breathing is done all through the mouth. We breathe for 25-30 minutes with a short rest period at the end to integrate.
The benefits include:
moving stuck emotions and trauma up and out
deeply opening the intuition and connecting to something higher
getting clarity on things the mind cannot figure out
somatic and energetic healing and clearing
strengthening your connection to God/the Divine
opening the heart and feeling more connected to life and people around you
bypassing the mind to get deeply into the body, heart + intuition
clearing out energetic imprints of abuse (huge for me! I share my story)
This is the most in-depth teaching I have given on breathwork. I include pro tips for having the best experience and why now, more than ever, we need to clear the fog in our life to get to the truth of who we really are.
Please try breathwork! I have tons of resources below for you to get started today. Message me on Instagram or email me and let me know how it goes.

How to Stop People Pleasing + Create Authentic Relationships
Love, Evolved with Leigh-Anne LoPinto: Conscious Relationships
07/02/23 • 21 min
This episode is short and sweet, and is for you if you've ever shape shifted or molded yourself into someone you're not in order to get love (whether consciously or unconsciously, and especially during dating or the beginning stages of a relationship.)
We've all done this, so there's no shame. But there is a way out, especially because this usually comes back to bite us in the end.
In this episode, I speak all about the importance of authenticity and how to create relationships from the true self. The payoff is worth everything.

Opening to Love - with Erin Telford
Love, Evolved with Leigh-Anne LoPinto: Conscious Relationships
03/02/23 • 78 min
Erin Telford joins us for this sweet episode that we're SO excited to share with you.
This overall theme of opening to love (and therefore realizing that we have agency here) provides a new and improved approach to calling in aligned partnership, and I truly believe that many of the things we speak about will be a great support to those of you who yearn for deep, highly evolved, conscious relationships. Which, by the way, are available to us all, and are our birthright.
Episode Overview:
- We speak about how breathwork is one of the key heart openers that we know of
- Erin shares about her personal journey with love relationships and how she learned to prepare and open to love
- We reflect on self love and self worth as the foundation for incredible relationships
- Getting into the energetics of how to open and be available
- If your partner showed up at your door, would you be ready?
- We touch on body image and healing our relationship with our physical form so we can show up in the bedroom ready for deep intimacy and connection
- Why being in our 40's is literally the best thing ever
- How dating apps aren’t required when you are energetically open - SUCH a good part in this day and age where people don't see an alternative
Erin is an incredible breathwork teacher, and as I describe her, "the healer of our time." She also provides conscious business mentoring to individuals, having built an incredible platform of her own for her work.
I highly recommend Erin's breathwork groups, which she leads regularly, as well as all of her courses (she has great ones for conscious entrepreneurs), AND of course any chance to work with her 1:1 is life changing.

Real World Couples with Laura Matsue + Bernhard Guenther: Evolutionary Relationships
Love, Evolved with Leigh-Anne LoPinto: Conscious Relationships
09/27/22 • 73 min
I invited Laura Matsue and Bernhard Guenther onto the podcast as part of my Real World Couples series, where I feature couples in incredible relationships who serve as models for others.
This was one of my favorite episodes so far, with so much rich discussion - can't wait for you listen!
We start out with an overview of evolutionary relationships (and discuss our upcoming masterclass on this topic on Oct 6, 2022, see link below) and how we are seeing that people are ready for a new level of spiritual partnership.
From there, we get into:
The story of how they met (on Facebook!)
- Some incredible signs Laura received before they even met
- Why this relationship felt different to them this time around
- How they define evolutionary relationships (or conscious relationships) and how most relationships are unconscious
- How everything comes up in relationships - attachment wounding, trauma, shadow stuff - and how these are opportunities to heal and evolve
- Getting into the evolutionary astrology angle where some people are more open to growth + evolution, based on their birth charts
- Navigating conflict (addressing both conflict avoidance and the conflict volatility)
- A fascinating discussion of the current state of affairs with love, sex, and relationships - where are we collectively?
- The agenda behind the war on love, sx and relationships
- How social media has replaced healthy human connection
- Why now, more than ever, we need healthy + secure relationships
- How the world of therapy has been overtaken by the 'woke cult'
- The rupture of the family unit and the counterbalance happening
- Laura and Bernhard end with their biggest keys that shifted how they do relationships
It was such an honor to speak with them, and we hope you find this episode helpful.

Conscious Relationships: The Foundations for Success
Love, Evolved with Leigh-Anne LoPinto: Conscious Relationships
10/14/21 • 28 min
In this episode, I define what a conscious relationship is - one where we show up with awareness, understand that relationships are a vehicle for our highest evolution and an opportunity to perfect our loving, and take ownership to co-create something incredible with our partner. These types of relationships are truly the new paradigm of love.

My Story, Part Two: Recovering from Divorce
Love, Evolved with Leigh-Anne LoPinto: Conscious Relationships
03/31/24 • 57 min
This week, I share the story of my almost 20 year relationship with my ex-husband and father of my child, the man I truly believed was my soulmate, and how I moved through total rock bottom when our marriage collapsed.
I share the hard lessons I had to learn about what I was bringing into the relationship that was not working (things like insecure attachment, low self worth, codependency, and victim mentality) and how I healed.
I also share how I learned to love and value myself, moved into secure attachment, learned about boundaries, and unhooked from codependency. And, how I stopped being a people pleaser and moved into true authenticity.
I also speak about how I learned to navigate conflict, speak truth, and become an empowered empath. There's so much more in this episode, too!
Healing from divorce and hard break-ups is 100% possible when we understand that there is wisdom in the wounds and have support people around us who can help alchemize and learn the lessons that we need to learn.
As always, I share tons of resources in the show notes, including my video lessons on How to Heal from a Breakup and The Trap of Codependency.
