Welcome to this month’s listener Q&A on how to allow more love into our lives! For this conversation, I brought in my dear friend, actor, producer, and lawyer, Braden Paes to help me in answering some of your biggest questions about love and relationships. 

We answer 5 of our listener submissions by discussing the importance of opening oneself up to love, with personal stories and insights on how to heal from heartbreak, believe in love again, and become more comfortable with vulnerability in relationships. We dive into the need to let go of expectations, understand the role fear plays in our lives, and approach vulnerability as an opportunity for growth and connection.
 
The conversation provides valuable tools and perspectives for navigating the complexities of love and relationships. The conversation explores the themes of growth, vulnerability, and the influence of media on our perception of love and relationships. It emphasizes the importance of believing in one's worthiness of love and affection and offers steps to open up to receiving more.
