10 Love Lessons I Learned the Hard Way

Episode 68: In this episode of The Lost & Found Podcast, Amanda recaps her Valentine’s Day weekend with friends after going out to some bars in Nashville. Amanda was inspired by the conversations with her friends about the state of their romantic relationships—or entanglements—to share some of her own love-life-lessons and hard-earned epiphanies when it comes to building your self-awareness, deal with rejection, navigating modern dating, sex, and attraction. She discusses the complexities of love, the importance of self-advocacy, and the need for personal growth in relationships. Amanda emphasizes that you cannot control your partner’s happiness and rejection is not a reflection of one's self-worth. She encourages listeners to recognize their value, communicate openly, and embrace their own timelines in the journey of love and self-discovery.References:Caroline Kole - Will Power AlbumU Up?
