Most of us learned about love by accident, from movies, our parents, and relationships that taught us more about what we didn't want than what we did. But love isn't one-size-fits-all. This podcast brings you a new perspective on love every episode: the couples therapist, the ER doctor, the grandparents, the wedding planner. Borrow what resonates, leave what doesn't, and build a definition of love that's actually yours.
