In this celebratory solo episode, host Andrea Atherton marks the fourth anniversary of Love Anarchy with a powerful reflection on what these past four years have taught her about love, self-love, relationships, healing, and humanity. As a psychotherapist, space-holder, and woman walking the path of conscious connection, Andrea shares the origin of the podcast and her soul’s purpose: to learn what love truly is, and to teach others to love—especially themselves. Born from grief and longing, the show has become a sanctuary for honest storytelling and a sacred space for remembering that love is not a performance, but a daily practice of presence, compassion, and truth.
Andrea shares the wisdom she’s gleaned from clients and guests alike—each one a teacher, each story a mirror. Clients have taught her how love can survive betrayal, how softness can return after trauma, and how boundaries can become acts of self-honoring. This year's guests have expanded the conversation around love, grief, the masculine and feminine, somatic healing, sexuality, sacred ceremony, and emotional resilience. Together, they have helped shape a tapestry of healing that is as honest as it is holy.
As Love Anarchy moves into its fifth year, this episode offers a moment of deep reflection and fierce devotion to what’s next. It is a reminder that we are wired for connection, that we heal in community, and that real love asks us to slow down and show up. This is more than a podcast—it is a call to awaken, to embody, and to remember that you are not alone on this journey home to love.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
