In episode three of Love Rants, host Melissa Mason and guest Bridget Hustwaite talk about letting go of the fairy tale around “The One”. They’ll explore the concept of love, and how what you look for in a partner evolves as you move through different life stages.

Bridget Hustwaite is a Melbourne-based presenter, author, and podcaster. Her latest project is a podcast series called Figuring Out 30, explores the chaos of life as a 30-year-old.

In this episode you’ll hear about:

• Why is society, and why are we, so attached to the idea of The One?
• The origins of The One.
• Is it possible for multiple different partners throughout life to be The One?
• Is a perfect relationship actually achievable? If The One represents a perfect relationship, and such a thing doesn’t exist, why do we still look for them?
• If you think someone isn’t The One, should you still enter a relationship with them?
• Do we ever stop looking for The One?
