That's exactly where Amy found herself this week. After more than 30 years of dreaming about creating her own skincare brand, she's finally doing it. The products are real. The business is real. She went live on Facebook and put herself out there... And suddenly, so was the vulnerability. So in Episode 11 of Love, Lies & The Truth, we start...

Somewhere along the way, dating became a game... and men and women started treating each other like opposing teams. Don't text back too quickly. Don't seem too interested. Don't show how much you care. Maintain the upper hand. Protect yourself. Make them chase you. And then we wonder why connection feels so damn difficult. In Episode 10 of Love, Lies & The Truth, we talk about the strange power struggle that can exist between men and women... in dating, relationships, and sometimes in the cul...

What if some of the biggest conflicts in your relationship aren't actually about what your partner did... but about the story you told yourself about why they did it? In Episode 9 of Love, Lies & The Truth, we explore the stories our minds quietly create about the people we love. Your partner doesn't do something when you expected them to. They seem distant. They go out with friends. Something feels different. And before you've actually asked what's going on, your mind has already filled in th...

How do you know when you've actually found your person? And once you have... how do you keep choosing them?

What if the biggest influence on your relationships isn't your partner... but your childhood?

What makes someone feel truly desired? It's a question that seems simple... until you actually try to answer it. In this episode, Jonathan and Amy discover that desire is about far more than attraction. It's about respect. Presence. Playfulness. Intellectual connection. Physical affection. Feeling chosen. Feeling seen. And all the little moments that quietly say: "I still want you." Along the way they explore love languages, compliments, flirting, masculinity, femininity, wandering ey...

Every person you fall in love with arrives carrying a lifetime of experiences, mistakes, heartbreaks, healing... and history. So what happens when your partner's past makes you uncomfortable?

We discuss what fidelity really means beyond physical faithfulness, why emotional transparency matters, and how everyday actions either move us toward our partner or awa...

Welcome to Love, Lies & The Truth. This isn't a relationship advice podcast. It's an invitation into a real relationship. We're Jonathan and Amy, and this show exists because the conversations we have together kept leaving us thinking, "I wish other people could hear this." So... here we are. In this first episode, we introduce ourselves, share how the podcast came to be, and invite you into the conversations that inspired us to press record. We won't pretend to have all the answers. We're ...
