Episode 3 is our Valentine's Day 2019 discussion on how to grow into greater love by honestly looking at ourselves and facing grief head-on so we come out the other side much more mature than before. We've chosen 3 songs which approach this topic from different angles.

As always, please support the artists via links below, and give us your comments on the Soundcloud page. One of our goals is to spark thoughtful conversations. Thanks for listening!
