Roy Biancalana 295 episodes Nov 9, 2026
The Attracting Lasting Love Podcast is hosted by Roy Biancalana, a certified relationship coach and author. It is aimed at single people who want to attract a healthy, lasting intimate relationship. Rather than giving dating tactics, Roy focuses on helping listeners identify and release inner barriers, blockages, and self-sabotaging patterns. The show approaches love and intimacy from a mindful, conscious perspective, drawing on the idea that one should seek the barriers within oneself rather than simply seek love.
