Lianna and Claire do their best not to be long-winded with a "minisode" where they discuss how difficult it is to sail the boat when you're still building it, learning the art of non-doing doing, counting down to the big move to LA, and then they dive into Claire's favorite topic: TV (specifically Palm Royale and Sunny)
In part 2, Lianna & Claire dive deeper into the digital detox, Gene Keys, falling into the void, and coming from a place of curiosity, not judgment.
Season 2 is so big they had to break it down in 2 parts. In Part 1, Lianna & Claire discuss the question: do you want to age or evolve? Lianna shares about her digital detox in the perfect horror movie setting. Claire talks about how she's no longer living a lie. They both agree that they can no longer force themselves to do anything they don't want to do. But Claire is very excited about writing a comedy/horror movie based on Lianna's digital detox with Chris, the robot lawnmower.
It's the Season 1 finale! And what a 15 months it's been. Lianna and Claire catch up on the first season of Love Through It and reflect on how much they've both grown since the first episode. Lianna moved to Portugal, refocused her business, and had a full consciousness shift. Claire found herself through love and loss and listening to her body despite her lack of sleep. Looking ahead to season 2, Lianna will bring more conversations with like-minded colleagues and friends about growth, science, knowing, and personal evolution.

Lianna announced a new project coming this year that will grant access to transformative tools for everyone.

What a year! Lianna and producer, Claire have both faced some of their biggest fears and life changes in 2023 so they take a look back at what they've survived. The peaks were epic but that also meant the valleys were treacherous. From moving to Portugal, attending nude dinner parties, hours of crying over zoom, laughing while doing headstands, trusting their guts, falling in love multiple times, untethering and being untethered, and eating far too many pickles, the ladies raise a glass of gratitude to the year that was.
