Description

In this episode of the Practical Spirituality Podcast, Gareth and Kim question long-held beliefs about love, challenging the misconceptions that often color people’s understanding. They explore the line between genuine love and idealized illusions, examining how culture, family, and society shape perceptions. Their discussion sheds light on how codependence or manipulation can often be disguised as love, encouraging listeners to reassess what love truly means in both relationships and self-acceptance.

Gareth and Kim share personal experiences that reveal the transformative impact of recognizing love’s true nature. They emphasize the importance of self-love, the influence of early conditioning, and the mental and emotional maturity needed for healthy connections. By focusing on self-compassion and forgiveness, they show how healing personal wounds can lead to deeper and more meaningful relationships. This conversation invites listeners to redefine their view of love, appreciate its complexities, and see its potential as a powerful force for personal growth and healing.
