In today’s episode, I’m talking about why I think the word “soulmate” is kind of bullshit—not because love isn’t real, but because we use that word to trap ourselves in relationships that aren’t actually right for us. I share how I once assigned the title “soulmate” to practically every man I dated in my twenties, what finally shifted when I met my husband, and why I now believe the strongest, healthiest relationships aren’t about fate or twin flames or being “meant to be”—they’re about two people choosing each other on purpose, every day, especially when life gets hard. I also get into how the soulmate label often keeps women stuck, why our culture rewards “pick me” behavior, and how the real work of love is not finding the missing half of your soul, but becoming whole yourself first.
