In this episode, Rella explores what it means to approach love from a healthier perspective—one that requires deep reflection on our thoughts, perceptions, and beliefs about love.

We highlight one of our favorite episodes from On Purpose by Jay Shetty on manifesting love—not just about finding someone, but about who we are becoming in love.
