About this episode

A conversation with Robin Ducharme about love, grief, and the importance of relational literacy.

The summary In this episode of Shot@Love, I sit down with Robin Ducharme, founder of Real Love Ready and author of Real Love Ready: A Guide to Relational Literacy, for a powerful conversation about what love really means—and why most of us were never taught how to do it well. We talk about grief, divorce, friendship breakups, faith, and the idea that relationships don’t fail—they evolve, complete their purpose, and teach us who we are. Robin shares how losing her twin brother changed her understanding of love forever, how ending her marriage became an act of self-preservation, and why relational literacy is one of the most important life skills we can learn. This episode is a reminder that love is not luck. It’s awareness, discipline, healing, and the willingness to grow. If you’ve ever questioned your heartbreak, your timing, or whether love is still possible for you—this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
