Open Relationships: Transforming Together

Open Relationships: Transforming Together is a new video podcast from YourTango and iHeartRadio. The ambitious goal of this bold, new video podcast is to help people learn how to open up emotionally to one another in order to energize and elevate their relational wellness. The show aims to transform relationships of all stripes - with significant others, families, friends, co-workers, and, critically, with ourselves.

Each highly entertaining episode offers an opportunity to increase self-awareness and make critical changes in how we relate to each other that allow us to truly connect and thrive as a result. 

In an era plagued by extreme divisiveness and political polarization, a mental health crisis, and a loneliness epidemic, Open Relationships offers a refreshing, helpful tonic to its audience. 

Early guests feature luminaries like Marianne Williamson, Dr. Helen Fisher, Dr. Sue Johnson, Dr. Guy Winch, Dr. Stan Tatkin, and other incredible thought leaders. 

"We are thrilled to launch 'Open Relationships' with iHeartMedia, which will allow us to reach a much larger audience and help us more quickly achieve the vast potential of this show," declares Andrea. She adds, "Relationships offer a unique, compelling forge to transform and that is the mission of our amazing show. Relational wellness is as important as getting enough sleep, eating well, and exercising. It is not a nice-to-have. It is a need-to-have!"

Andrea, joined by renowned guests and a set of lively co-hosts, dives into the deep waters of relationships, self-awareness, and personal growth. In their illuminating, energetic conversations, they fearlessly tackle hard truths, ask the tough questions, and explore ways to learn and grow, all in the name of opening up and transforming together!

The show endeavors to improve relationships of all kinds - with loved ones, colleagues, friends, and, crucially, with ourselves. Expect laughter, insights, and actionable takeaways in every episode.

Andrea is joined by bestselling author Jonas Koffler; media critic and author Joanna Schroeder, and Emmy award-winning producer Bryon Adkins. 

Future shows will feature an array of artists, authors, researchers, leaders, and change-makers who share our ethos for opening up and understanding the critical importance of rebuilding America's emotional core.

Raising Kids Who Won’t Get Canceled & Who Will Talk To You | Open Relationships Podcast

Join us for our inaugural episode of "Open Relationships," where host Andrea Miller sparks an honest and meaningful conversation with the acclaimed LA writer, media critic, and parenting expert, Joanna Shroeder.
