#130. How to Increase Your Love-Ability

About this episode

This episode explores the concept of love-ability and how to intentionally create, feel, and give love.

Love is something we all crave, -but what if we’ve been thinking about it backwards? In this episode, we explore one of the most life-changing emotional skills you can develop: your love-ability, -your ability to create, feel, and give love on purpose. Many of us have been conditioned to believe love comes from other people, -their approval, affection, appreciation, or behavior. But that mindset leaves us emotionally dependent and waiting for others to.  Today  we unpack a more empowering truth: love is not something you wait for, it’s something you practice. You’ll learn: Why love is a skill, not just an emotion How judgment, pride, and self-protection block love Why withholding love hurts you more than anyone else How boundaries and love can coexist beautifully Practical ways to increase compassion and emotional connection How gratitude and receiving love deepen relationships Why loving on purpose creates greater peace, resilience, and joy Whether you’re struggling in marriage, parenting, family relationships, or simply wanting to feel more connected and alive, this episode will help you open your heart and build greater emotional freedom. This is the final episode…
