“What were you taught about love?”
In this ramble session, I walk back through the earliest classrooms of my life — the ones shaped by my dad, my mom, and the versions of love they could (and couldn’t) give.
I talk about the affection I received, the affection I didn’t, the emotional gaps I learned to navigate, and the quiet ways those lessons still echo in adulthood.
This episode is an invitation to ask yourself:
If love was something you learned, why can’t you learn it again — differently, gently, and on your own terms?
A soft descent into memory.
A gentle rise into awareness.
A reminder that your love story isn’t finished.
