<![CDATA[What's Love Got To Do With It?]]>What’s Love Got to Do With It? is where love gets real.

Hosted by Rev. Julie Haas—interfaith minister, somatic practitioner, wedding officiant, and woman who’s lived enough life to know that love is rarely as simple as we’re told—this podcast explores what really happens when love, sex, relationships, spirituality, and the nervous system collide.

We’re talking dating, desire, marriage, divorce, intimacy, infidelity, attachment, heartbreak, healing, sexuality, grief, starting over, and all the messy shit in between.

Is it chemistry—or is your nervous system activated? Can you have passion and peace? Can sexuality be sacred? Why are we drawn to people who can’t meet us? What happens when the sex disappears from a good marriage? Can you love someone deeply and still know they’re not right for you?

Through candid solo episodes and unfiltered conversations with experts and fascinating humans, Julie explores the questions most of us have thought about—but don’t always say out loud.

Science meets the sacred.

The sacred meets the sexy.

And nothing is off the table.

I’m a minister.

And I’m about to get real.

Welcome to What’s Love Got to Do With It? ❤️‍🔥

In this episode of What's Love Got to Do With It?, Rev. Julie Haas sits down with Paul Simard, a death doula, TEDx speaker, writer, and men's wellness guide, for a profound conversation about life, death, grief, masculinity, and the transformative power of love.

As someone who accompanies individuals and families through life's most vulnerable transitions, Paul offers a unique perspective on what truly matters when everything else falls away.

Together, we explore how our fear of death shapes the way we live, why grief is inseparable from love, and how society's expectations of masculinity can prevent men from experiencing vulnerability, emotional intimacy, and authentic connection.

What happens when we stop treating grief as something to overcome and begin recognizing it as an expression of love? How might our relationships change if we truly understood that our time together is finite?

This conversation invites us to reconsider what it means to be fully alive, to love courageously, and to embrace the inevitable transitions that make us human.

Because perhaps the greatest lesson death has to teach us isn't about dying at all. It's about how we choose to live and love today.

Paul Simard is a Montreal-based death doula, grief guide, TEDx speaker, writer, and men's wellness guide whose work explores the intersection of grief, mortality, masculinity, and human connection.

With nearly three decades of experience working across human health, community, and organizational leadership, Paul helps individuals, families, and communities navigate life's most profound transitions.

He is the founder of The Canoe, an initiative dedicated to transforming our cultural relationship with dying, death, and grief. Through his work with H U M E N I T Y and Living Wisdom, he also supports men's emotional development, vulnerability, relational maturity, and personal transformation.

His work challenges us to rethink traditional ideas about strength, loss, and what it means to live a meaningful, connected life.

What if the person who gave you the most butterflies wasn’t the love of your life—but was just really good at activating your nervous system?

And what if that thing you called chemistry was actually anxiety?

In the very first episode of What’s Love Got to Do With It?, Rev. Julie Haas introduces the questions at the heart of the podcast—and gets very real about love, sex, attraction, marriage, spirituality, attachment, and the complicated ways we learn to love.

From confusing intensity with intimacy to wondering why peace can sometimes feel boring after chaos, Julie explores how our earliest experiences, attachment patterns, bodies, and nervous systems can influence who we’re attracted to and what we mistake for love.

She also opens the door to the conversations this show isn’t afraid to have: marriage after the wedding, desire, infidelity, dating, divorce, sexuality, sacred sex, heartbreak, healing, orgasms, spirituality—and what it means to deeply love another person without abandoning yourself in the process.

Because maybe the most important question isn’t just:

“Do I love this person?”

Maybe it’s:

“Who do I become when I’m with them?”

Welcome to What’s Love Got to Do With It?

Love. Sex. Relationships. Spirituality. And all the messy shit in between.

Nothing is off the table. ❤️‍🔥
