It’s our Valentine’s Day special, and we’re diving headfirst into the five love languages. In this episode, we break down each love language, what it really looks like in real life, and how learning them has helped us better understand ourselves and the people we love.

We also share our own love languages and how we tend to give love, how we feel most loved in return, and why those preferences matter so much when it comes to feeling secure in relationships. Whether you’re deep in love, navigating dating, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, this episode is an invitation to reflect on what makes your heart feel truly full!

This week, we’re joined by special guest Blaine Christopher of Blaine’s Book Club for a deeply reflective conversation about the art that changed us. We talk about the characters, books, pieces of writing, and creative projects that helped us see ourselves more clearly, and ultimately shaped how we understand and make art today. Along the way, we open up a new chapter for the podcast, discussing queerness for the first time: what it’s like to exist within a small but deeply affirming community, the hope for broader acceptance, and how these identities can inform your creative life. We also explore the idea of gender as a social construct, and how questioning what we’re taught can be both grounding and expansive. A thoughtful, honest episode about recognition, belonging, and the art that gives us language for who we are.

This week, we’re talking about making hard decisions. The quiet ones, the uncomfortable ones, the ones you don’t always see coming. Not just the obvious crossroads life throws at you, but those moments when something starts to feel out of alignment, and you can’t ignore it anymore. We dive into financial choices, relationship shifts, career moves, and the inner knowing that tells you it’s time to change even when it’s scary. These are the decisions you may not want to make, but deep down, you know will serve you in the long run.
