The ChatGPT Announcement Just Opened Up More Counterfeits of Love.  In a world obsessed with instant pleasure, emotional numbness, and digital fantasy, this episode cuts through the noise to reveal the truth about love, intimacy, and connection. Emotionologist, Curtis J. Morley, bestselling author, and creator of Counterfeit Emotions, sits down with Dr. Chelom Leavitt, a renowned BYU researcher on mindfulness and healthy sexuality, to expose how our culture has confused lust for love — and how we can reclaim what’s real.


Discover why:

  • ❤️ Love gives and receives, while lust takes. Learn how true connection is built on connection, curiosity, compassion, and mindfulness.
  • 🧠 Mindfulness transforms relationships. Explore the neuroscience of desire, presence, and emotional intimacy.
  • 💞 Intimacy is more than sex. Understand the seven pillars that form deep, authentic connection: emotional, intellectual, spiritual, physical, recreational, financial, and sexual.
  • ⚖️ Marriage is a people-growing machine. Find out how conflict and vulnerability are the gateways to transformation, not signs of failure.
  • ⚠️ ChatGPT has announced they are rolling out an AI erotica model that will increase hyper-stimulation that erods real connection. Hear what’s happening to our brains — and what we can do about it.

This raw and enlightening conversation will change the way you think about relationships, sex, and love itself. It’s not about “more passion.” It’s about more presence.
