We talk about recognizing a twin flame connection, the push and pull that can come with it, divine timing, surrender, and why the journey isn't simply about ending up with another person.

Because maybe the real purpose of a connection that changes you isn't just finding your way to them. Maybe it's coming home to yourself first.

In Episode 11, I sit down with my friend Yvonne, whom I met in Sicily, to talk about the realities of living globally, from Europe to Bali and back again, and how those experiences shape the way we approach love, independence, and relationships. We get into dating across cultures, creating a life on your own terms, and the truth we’ve both learned along the way: we may want men, but we certainly don’t need them.
