From Romance to Real Love

In this episode, we're having an honest conversation about love — what we're taught it should be, and what it actually takes to make it work.We start by unpacking the romance myths you grew up with: the movies,  the cultural scripts that shaped what we expected love to feel like. We dig into why intensity gets mistaken for depth, and how dating apps and social media have turned up the volume on the fantasy.Then we get into what real love actually requires — and it's less glamorous than the movies suggest. Seeing your partner clearly (flaws and all), learning to repair after conflict, staying yourself while staying connected, and choosing each other on the ordinary days, not just the electric ones.We close with practical wisdom for navigating love in her generation: how to tell the difference between a relationship that's stretching you and one that's hurting you, and how thinking about the long game can quietly reshape the choices she makes right now.We'd love to hear from you at www.juliepowellcoaching.com...
