episode #125 "My Parents Left Me at 9. I Refused to Stay Broken." | Aya dela Cruz cover

Beskrivelse

What happens when the people who were supposed to protect you choose to leave you? And can a child who was abandoned grow up to create the loving family she never had? Aya dela Cruz was just nine years old when her parents disappeared overnight, leaving her and her sister behind with their grandmother. In this deeply moving conversation with Yana Fry, she shares how she navigated abandonment, shame, and uncertainty without allowing those experiences to define her future. 🌹 Join Return to Love: A 28-Day Moon-Aligned Journey for High-Achieving Women Into LOVE → https://bit.ly/4srQ1oo [https://bit.ly/4srQ1oo] Together, they explore the lasting impact of childhood wounds, family dynamics, forgiveness, self-worth, and the choices that shape our lives long after difficult circumstances have passed. Aya opens up about growing up without her parents, defending a mother others blamed, building confidence despite rejection, and creating the loving marriage and family she once feared she might never have. But this episode goes far beyond childhood trauma. It becomes a powerful conversation about resilience, parenting, breaking generational cycles, unconditional love, and the courage to choose a different future than the one you inherited.

episode #128 Successful, Single & Still Waiting? The Dating Truth No One Tells You | Yana Fry cover

#128 Successful, Single & Still Waiting? The Dating Truth No One Tells You | Yana Fry

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.

No panic, no shame, no fluffy love advice. Just a direct conversation about choosing love with clarity, self-awareness, and courage before life makes the choice for you.

#127 Why Women Stop Wanting Sex in Marriage (How To Bring Desire Back) | Yana Fry

"When did you stop wanting your husband, and did you even notice when it happened?” 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. If you've ever wondered whether it's stress, marriage, postpartum changes, or something deeper, this conversation will help you understand what's really happening, and what you can do about it. A must-watch for women navigating marriage, intimacy, motherhood, and long-term relationships.

episode #126 Tibetan Master Reveals Why Modern Tantra Can Destroy You | Karma Lhatrul Dorji Rinpoche cover

#126 Tibetan Master Reveals Why Modern Tantra Can Destroy You | Karma Lhatrul Dorji Rinpoche

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.
