Defining love is more important than most people realize. In this episode, Kevin and Alan share how their understanding of love has evolved—from trauma bonds and chasing significance to building healthy, growth-oriented relationships grounded in safety and support. Through honest stories and thought-provoking questions, they invite you to reflect on your own definition of love—because clarity can transform your relationships forever.
