Do I Love Well? | Ep. 322

from Lunchtime in Rome · host Lunchtime In Rome

Photo by Everton Vila on UnsplashAre you a loving person?It’s one of those questions we rarely stop and ask ourselves out loud. We’re all just trying to make it through the day—juggling work, family, health struggles, yard work, and the occasional squirrel invasion. But what if we paused long enough to wonder: How do I actually know if I’m loving well?In this week’s episode of Lunchtime in Rome, the table dives into exactly that. Jay, Eric (Big Guy), and Mary Lynn share honest updates from their week—everything from a perfect Kennywood day and a surprise hawk sighting to alpha-gal syndrome battles, garden mulching hacks, and a very determined turkey guarding a bird feeder. The crew sends Brian birthday wishes from afar, and the conversation flows exactly like it does when good friends gather.Then the real question hits: How do we measure love? Not the warm-and-fuzzy feeling, but the actual doing. The crew walks through a simple, practical three-level barometer that will make you think twice the next time you wonder if you’re showing up for the people around you. They also talk through a couple of important caveats—because sometimes what looks like love isn’t actually love at all.As always, the episode is equal parts real life, laughter, and heart. You’ll hear about:* A rite-of-passage roller-coaster ride that still has Eric smiling* The surprising joy of DoorDash mulch delivery* Why old-school Pizza Hut still hits different (and whether it’s coming back near you)* Nate Bargatze’s latest family-friendly projects that have everyone talkingPull up a seat. Grab a cup of coffee (or a Halls cough drop, if you’re still recovering from last week).
