About this episode

This episode discusses how labels in relationships can limit emotional experiences and the importance of romance.

though initially created to help and prevent hurt in relationships, labels now keep us stuck. in this episode, we talk about how the language around love desensitizes us to real, emotional experiences, how labels can box us in, and whether calling something a "situationship" protects you or just limits you to what others think you should do and say. let yourself love, show you care, bring back ROMANCE!follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarezjoin our social club: https://grownkid.typeform.com/to/eZhvsKGH?typeform-source=grownkid.comovershare with us: grownkid.comAbout our Partners: Grownkid is made in partnership with Joy Coalition where purpose driven content meets powerful storytelling.
