    EP 64: Plot Twist: Anna Wants Jasmine Back?! 😳🔥 Our Relationship Constitution Goes to Spain 🇪🇸 We’re BACK after our longest break yet--fresh off our honeymoon in Madrid and Barcelona 🇪🇸 and a very sexy few days with the AYA Society (formerly Naughty Gym) crew. ☀️🍑🔥 This week, our relationship constitution gets tested in real life when Anna finds herself seriously flirting with another man while Aiden sits nearby feeling left out--and wondering, “Is this f*****g lifestyle even for me?” What happens next becomes a surprisingly hot lesson in jealousy, quick repair, and choosing each other without giving up freedom. ❤️‍🔥 Then comes the plot twist longtime listeners will NOT see coming: Anna wants to invite Jasmine back. 😳 Yes. THAT Jasmine. After everything that happened--the secrecy, jealousy, explosive chemistry, therapy, and months of rebuilding--how the hell did we get HERE?! PLUS: 💋 realizing we may not be beginner swingers anymore, ❤️ why we prefer playing together, 😬 Anna’s confession about the condom incident with Bo, ⚖️ sexual scorekeeping, lifestyle tourism, matchmaking a listener 💘, and why Hacking Love Fest might actually happen. 🎉 This one is sexy, messy, funny, and a pretty wild example of just how much our relationship has changed. ⭐️ If Hacking Love has made you laugh, think, or start a conversation with your partner, please leave us a 5-star review!

    🎧 Ep 61: Our Relationship Constitution Finally Gets Tested 🔥📜💦 After months of emotional chaos 😵‍💫, therapy homework 🛋️, health scares 🏥, awkward healing conversations, and questioning whether we even wanted this lifestyle anymore… we accidentally had one of the hottest nights of our marriage. 😳🔥 In this episode, we take you from a hippie festival orgy tent in the woods, all the way to a sexy summer kickoff pool party 🏖️🍸 where everything we’ve been working on finally clicked into place. We talk about: 💌 The “relationship constitution” that completely changed how we approach openness 🔥 Why trust feels so much stronger now (and why trust makes the sex way hotter) 😂 Getting fired from therapy. AGAIN. 🫵🏼 The surprisingly sexiness of having the decision to play made “for you” 👩🏼‍❤️‍👨🏽 🙋‍♂️ And the MFM experience that somehow managed to be erotic, romantic, healing, freeing, and naughty all at once. Also included: 🎧 DJ’ing an orgy 😅 Anxious attachment at swinger parties 🛋️ Giant cuddle puddles 🧺 Dirty cum rag baskets 🥩 “Fresh meat” at the pool party 🔥 And the moment Aiden said, “We’re doing this,” and Anna finally surrendered. This episode is equal parts vulnerable, funny, emotional, and extremely horny 😈 — which honestly feels very on brand for us at this point. We're baaaaaaaack!! 🙌

    Ep 59: When Real Life Hits 💔🏥 Rebuilding Trust, Therapy Breakthroughs & Our Relationship Reset

    Ep 59: When Real Life Hits 💔🏥 Rebuilding Trust, Therapy Breakthroughs & Our Relationship Reset After one of the hardest seasons we’ve ever faced, we’re finally sitting down to share where we really are now—and what it took to get here. In this episode, we open up about everything that happened behind the scenes after Episode 58—from a 10-day relationship pause and intense therapy work to a scary medical emergency that changed our perspective overnight. This isn’t about drama—it’s about repair. About what happens after the conflict. About how trust actually gets rebuilt… not just through words, but through showing up when it matters most. We talk about: 💔 Why our relationship hit one of its lowest points—and what finally shifted🧠 The reality of taking space vs. staying connected (and how it affects each partner differently)🏥 How a health scare reframed everything—and unexpectedly rebuilt trust📜 Creating a “relationship constitution” to prevent future breakdowns💬 Using nonviolent communication to stop toxic cycles before they spiral🔥 What we’re learning about desire, boundaries, and staying open—without losing each otherWe also reflect on our early episodes and the “honeymoon phase” we thought would last forever… and how what we’re building now might actually be better. If you’ve ever wondered how couples come back from the edge—or how to repair after trust is shaken—this episode is honest, vulnerable, and full of hard-earned clarity. We’re not perfect. But we’re still here. And we’re doing the work. ❤️ Relationship Constitution: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vj0eyYixSox18XbxRzBf-zG5RgpntyoE/view?usp=share_link 💌🔥 We want to hear from you and we ALWAYS write back! annaaiden@gmx.com Hacking Love Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1YFEEPwYeB/ Instagram @HackingLove_Podcast

    Ep 58: When It Still Hurts 💔🔥 The Messy Middle of Open Relationships — and Finding Your Way Back

    What happens when you say you’re okay… but your nervous system says otherwise? In this deeply raw episode, Anna and Aiden pull back the curtain on what it really looks like in the aftermath of pushing boundaries in an open relationship. Recorded just days after Aiden’s MFM experience—and in the thick of emotional fallout—they unpack the disconnect between “we’re fine” and what’s actually happening beneath the surface. From feeling dismissed or unheard to navigating ghosting, jealousy, and mismatched emotional timelines, this episode captures the messy middle that most couples don’t talk about. You’ll hear the tension, the miscommunication, and the real-time struggle to balance individual needs with the relationship as a whole. They also explore: Why timing matters more than we think when processing emotional experiencesHow ghosting and unresolved connections can amplify insecurityThe difference between enduring something vs. actually wanting itWhy “being the cool partner” can backfire—and what it costsThe moment they realize they’ve pushed past their limits…and need to resetThis isn’t the polished version of open relationships—it’s the honest, uncomfortable, human version. And if you’ve ever felt like you should be okay with something you’re not, this one will hit close to home. If you’re navigating non-monogamy—or just trying to communicate better in your relationship—this episode is a powerful reminder that growth doesn’t always look graceful…but it can still bring you closer. 💌🔥 We want to hear from you and we ALWAYS write back! annaaiden@gmx.com Hacking Love Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1YFEEPwYeB/ Instagram @HackingLove_Podcast

    Ep 57: Chemistry With Someone New: When Connection Threatens Stability 🧪💥🫦

    In this episode, we face our biggest test yet: what happens when chemistry with someone new starts to shake the foundation of everything we’ve built? ⚡💔 In this brutally honest episode (edit: don't worry guys, we're fine!), Anna opens up about her fears around a woman who may be crossing boundaries, while Aiden finds himself fumbling through coffee dates, phone calls, and the emotional tightrope of trying to stay connected to everyone involved in this unfolding dynamic. What starts as an opportunity for Aiden (at last!) quickly turns into something much more complicated. ☕📱🫦 We dive into the hard questions: Are we accidentally drifting toward polyamory? 🤯How do you handle jealousy without turning into the relationship police? 🚨When does attraction stop being exciting and start feeling like a threat? 🔥➡️😬In attempt to understand, we dive in to the poly books (spoiler: we’re still not poly), talk about why rigid rules often lead to secrecy, and get painfully real about what comes up when freedom and fear collide. 📚💭 Topics include: radical honesty vs. emotional protection, swinging vs. polyamory, codependence vs. healthy interdependence, and how to voice insecurity without controlling your partner. 🧠❤️‍🩹 This episode is messy, vulnerable, and deeply human… a front-row seat to what happens when someone new becomes a potential game changer. 🎙️💥 We want to hear from you and we ALWAYS write back! annaaiden@gmx.com Hacking Love Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1YFEEPwYeB/ Instagram @HackingLove_Podcast
