Today’s Valentine’s Day episode is all about love, communication, and why relationships can feel absolutely magical one minute… and wildly confusing the next. I’m sitting down with Dr. Gary Chapman to dig into what’s really going on when love isn’t landing the way you hoped and why even the best intentions can still miss the mark.

If you’ve worked hard at connection but felt like you and your partner speak past each other, this episode is for you. We’ll name the hidden tensions behind mixed signals, silent hurts, and "I’m fine" moments to highlight what really disconnects us—often before arguments arise.

We explore how a single negative moment can outweigh positives, how your unique personality shapes love languages, and how to spot when your partner’s love tank is low—before it’s too late. If you’ve wondered, "Why does love still feel hard?" this episode will clarify what’s behind relational struggles and offer tools for understanding.
