Welcome to another episode of Love Learns! In this week's discussion, Yaa and I delve into a topic that resonates with many – guilt. If you haven't already, be sure to check out Yaa’s podcast, Meant for More Mindset: https://www.youtube.com/@MeantforMoreMindset for more insightful content.We've explored guilt in self-development, and now, we're focusing on how it manifests in our interactions with others. In this episode, we explore how guilt can manifest in our self-development journeys and, most importantly, how it can impact our relationships. Guilt often emerges when we internalize others' expectations and put tremendous pressure on ourselves to meet those standards. We discuss how this guilt can lead to resentment, feeling like we're letting others down, and a longing to be "good enough." For Yaa, guilt manifested as an unrealistic projected standard that she felt she needed to meet. In response, she felt guilty when falling short of these expectations, which eventually led to resentment. The key lesson Yaa shares is the importance of open communication in all relationships. It's not just about expressing your needs but also being receptive to your partner's desires. Guilt can emerge in various relationships, not just romantic ones. From feeling bad about missing a friend's event to dealing with infidelity, guilt has its way of showing up. We discuss how communicating openly and honestly can help alleviate guilt and build stronger connections. Join us for a heart-to-heart about relationships, personal growth, and how to better understand and communicate with others. Feel free to share your thoughts, comments, and experiences in the comment section below. We look forward to hearing from you and continuing this journey of love and growth together.

Hey Lovely Learners,I know it's been a long time since I was here and I sincerely apologies for not being around. As most of you know I was studying and working when I started this channel and to be honest it all got very overwhelming and something had to give but on reflection I missed creating content about relationships and the insta lives were not cutting it so I decided to team up with a few people to keep me accountable and now I'm back and better than ever.Looking forward to traveling this journey with you.

Another week and another episode. This week we spoke to Marlon and Jernine about their love journey. Having been together for 15 years before getting married, we ask Marlon why it took so long for him to proposed and how Jernine prepared in the time of waiting.

Hey Lovely Learners,
We are Back. Apology for the wait. We had a few issues we needed to resolve before coming back on but we have resolved it and we are back for a 6 episode season. Maybe 8 if we get our final couples involved. Each story completely different to the next. No theme for season 2 but we will have a playlist for you if you prefer a themed episode.
This season we are starting off with Danny and Jackie. Let me start of by saying I haven't known these two long, just a few months and they were so open and honest about their relationship. I met Danny as my Driver from Dialysis (a story for another day) and he was talking so highly of this wife and I was so impressed because he was saying things about his wife that were uplifting and genuine that I had to ask to interview them. I only met Jackie on the day of filming and it was amazing to see the woman behind the praise. She really lived up to what he was saying. They have been married 28 years and hard times have come and gone and they are still madly in Love.
As you hear from this episode they don't have any social media so if you would like to get in contact or as a question please feel free to message me on Instagram, Facebook or email and I will pass on the message.
This episode is also available on Youtube. Please find links below:

I am really praying this conversation blesses and helps you in your marriage.

Growing up, you start to realise the fairytales were just that, FAIRYTALES. In my Real Love Journey, I decided I need to learn more about relationships and build from others experiences.

My Commitment to you guys is to present marriage in a real way and if one or two people can say they have learnt something about themselves or their relationship or the world we live in from one episode, I will be one very happy, girl.
