The movies make love seem easy, an instant connection between the pair, a slight disagreement in the middle, but in the end, a happily ever after.

From a very young age, we are taught to chase love. It allows us to have a partner in life, to have the family we've always dreamed of, and to feel accepted for everything we are. But what happens when we want all of those things, but are ultimately afraid to love?

This week, we dive into how society has often romanticized love and make it seem so effortless. We discuss our fears when it comes opening up and being vulnerable to giving/receiving love and how those fears have affected our relationships in both the past and present. Are we all capable of opening ourselves up to love or are some of us wired differently?
