It's the kind of night when vulnerability creeps past our usual guards, carried on the backs of half-finished sentences and averted glances. This woman, whom I'd just met, is telling me about her marriage. Twenty-three years. Two solid careers....

Love Is… Episode 14: Return to Your Knowing

Love Is… Episode 12: Love, Safety, and Plot Twists

I thought I was good at love. I prided myself on being patient and understanding —a shoulder to cry on. I consistently chose partners who couldn’t (or wouldn’t) show up for me. Not that I required them to. That changed the day I learned my longtime lover had jumped the broom. Oh, and I found out he was married on Facebook, by the way. Turns out I wasn’t as good at relationships as I thought. But I was good at staying safe. Click to Subscribe + Listen In this week's episode, we’re talking...
