Podcast Overview

We're sold a lot of stories about love, relationships, and romance. But even moreso, we're conditioned to never question them. On the Hopeful Aromantic podcast, hosted by relationship coach Victoria Yeung, we'll unpack just that: Why is romance considered the highest form of connection and how is that ideal reinforced? What do alternative forms of relationships outside of the norm look like? And what do we shift in order to really connect ? Modern dating is changing, and that's a good thing. Each week we'll explore big questions and try practical actions for relationship building.
