463: Dr. Cheryl Fraser on The Biggest Lie About Love (That's Quietly Destroying Your Relationship)

"Great love isn't found. It's created by two imperfect people willing to do the work." What if the relationship you're longing for isn't created by finding the perfect person, but by learning how to love imperfectly, consciously, and courageously? Why do so many relationships begin with passion... only to end in distance, disappointment, or disconnection? In this deeply eye-opening episode of Soul Talk, Kute Blackson sits down with renowned Buddhist psychologist, relationship expert, and author Dr. Cheryl Fraser to challenge some of the biggest myths we've been taught about love. From the illusion of soulmates to the belief that the right partner should make us happy, Cheryl reveals why these stories quietly sabotage even the strongest relationships. Blending modern psychology with Buddhist wisdom, she shares a radically different approach to lasting love: One built on conscious communication, emotional intimacy, shared adventure, and intentional sensuality. Rather than searching for someone new when the excitement fades, Cheryl explains why the deepest relationships are created when two imperfect people choose to grow together, embrace discomfort, and make love itself a spiritual practice. If you've ever questioned your relationship, wondered whether you've found "the one," or felt the spark slipping away, this conversation may completely change the way you love and the way you see your partner.   Key Timestamps (00:03:10) — Why we suffer when we expect our partner to make us happy (00:12:20) — The Passion Triangle: the three pillars of lasting love (00:29:50) — Why the soulmate myth quietly destroys relationships (00:38:40) — Should you stay or leave?
