Is He Your Beloved? The Myth of Perfect Love and The Freedom to Be You.

Ever wonder what happens when a relationship is so natural, you don't even have to try? In this episode, we're spilling the tea on the myth of "perfect" love, the bizarre body language advice we've been given, and why not having to "perform" for your partner is the ultimate form of psychological safety.

We dive into the surprising power of simply being, and why finding a love that requires no scripts is a bigger win than any list or vision board could ever predict. Plus, Ushi Patel gets real about confronting duplicity, breaking cycles, and the personal work that finally allowed her to attract a partner who sees her, loves her "gnarly" parts, and lets her be completely undone. This is your intimate invitation to the realest conversation you'll have all week.
