She opens up to Ali about why she's so grateful for a particularly turbulent relationship and recounts the grinding early days before stardom hit with the groundbreaking TV show ER.

    The Middle Age Dating Buffet w/ Paulina Porizkova

    Actress, writer and former supermodel Paulina Porizkova has been trying to date and, well, it’s even hard for her. No matter who you are or where you’ve been, the middle age dating scene is unfortunately no feast of riches. It’s actually, she says, more like a lunch buffet right before it gets closed down and everything is cold and dry. Ouch. But her outlook has gotten better and the main thing that changed it is her relationship with herself. She says writing her memoir No Filter (which touches on aging, beauty, heartbreak and grief) helped her reconnect to the most important relationship of all.

    This week, Ali explores authentic love with guest Glennon Doyle. Both of their stories suggest that once it hits you it is undeniable, but what happens when that authentic love is with a person that is not at all what you were looking for? What if choosing that person means rocking the boat? The “Untamed” author opens up about the life experiences that led her to take that leap for true love with Abby Wombach and she makes us rethink what the ‘easy thing’ to do is. // For more on Glennon Doyle: https://momastery.com/blog // If you have questions or guest suggestions, Ali would love to hear from you.

    50 Shades of Pornography w/ Dr. David Ley

    Pornography has been the primary blame for many relationship problems. Fingers get pointed. Feelings get hurt. Doors get slammed. Psychologist and sex therapist David Ley, PhD believes pornography gets the blame because it is the “big, sexy, shiny object” that grabs the focus when a relationship is feeling bumpy. Ley says pornography is really just a symptom of other underlying issues that are not being discussed. In fact, he says pornography can be a great resource that can introduce novelty and new ideas to a couple’s sexy life if it’s viewed together. He and Ali also talk about why men seem to use it so much, the importance of communication and, hot tip, there is feminist porn out there.
