This week I share 5 books that have changed my life and the way I view love and relationships. Each book has meant so much to me and I dive into some of my favorite concepts + quotes from each book. I cover:

Mating in Captivity Esther Perel → this changed the way I view passion in relationships and transitioning out of the honeymoon phase

The Wisdom of Anxiety by Sheryl Paul → validated my experience of relationship anxiety and brought forward a compassionate interpretation of it

Eight Dates by John and Julie Gottman → helped me understand important relationship dynamics and open doors of discussion with Nate on our shared values and life visions

The Relationship Handbook by George Pransky → recent book that changed the way I perceive moments of relational challenge and why they happen

All About Love Bell Hooks → opened up my perspective on love and what love means
