Love isn’t just about romance—it’s about self-discovery, emotional growth, and the courage to embrace vulnerability. In this heartfelt Valentine’s Day episode of Friday Feelings, host Jenelle Friday sits down with a very special guest—her aunt, Karen Rhinehart—who recently found love and got married in her sixties. Together, they dive deep into emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and the power of love in all its forms.

Karen shares her remarkable journey of navigating heartbreak, self-discovery, and healing before she could fully welcome love into her life. She reflects on:
❤️ Learning to love herself first
❤️ Recognizing unhealthy relationship patterns
❤️ How emotional intelligence helped her approach love differently the second time around
❤️ The shift from seeking “Prince Charming” to valuing trust, partnership, and authenticity
❤️ Finding love later in life and embracing marriage with fresh perspective

This episode is raw, honest, and deeply inspiring. Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or somewhere in between, Karen’s wisdom will challenge you to rethink how you approach love, relationships, and personal growth.

Key Takeaways:

✨ Self-awareness is the foundation of EQ—you can’t love others fully until you love yourself.
✨ Love isn’t just about romance—it’s about deep connections, trust, and emotional resilience.
✨ It’s never too late for love—but first, you must heal, grow, and be open to it.
✨ Emotional intelligence strengthens relationships—from better communication to recognizing triggers and creating deeper connections.

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone seeking love, personal transformation, or a deeper understanding of emotional intelligence.
