You don’t have to love Taylor Swift or football to love the love story we all got watching the Kansas City Chiefs win the Superbowl this week. Love in all its many forms, is truly a many splendored thing and February delivers with more than just Valentine’s Day. For many across Canada we also get to strengthen our familial bonds on Family Day, but for me, February is all about Galentine’s, which will probably surprise nobody who listens regularly.
Today’s show takes a look at love in its many forms intertwined with discussions on health and compassion in law. But first, this tweet broke my brain today, and I just have to share because I don’t like to be alone with these deep existential questions.
Raise Your Love Signal
First on the show this week is Chantal Landreville, a Canadian author and Certified Love and Relationship Coach, discussing her new book, ‘Raise Your Love Signal’. Chantal’s insights into fostering meaningful connections and enhancing our love lives promise to be both enlightening and inspiring. Get the book here.
