Relearning Love: Childhood Patterns, Emotional Mastery & the Power of Choice with Eri Kardos

What if the love you've been searching for has always started with the story you were told as a child?In this episode of the Pink Nest Podcast, Nika sits down with Eri Kardos, founder of Relearn Love, relationship coach, TEDx speaker, and author of Relationship Agreements, for a conversation that is tender, transformative, and genuinely useful.Eri didn't stumble into relationship coaching by accident. She arrived there through years of her own unravelling and rebuilding, tracing the thread from childhood fairy tales and family patterns all the way to the moments in adult life where love felt impossible, confusing, or simply out of reach. What she found along the way became the foundation of her life's work: that love is not something that happens to us. It is something we choose, shape, and relearn.Through her frameworks, her coaching practice, and her TEDx stage, Eri is helping people move from repeating painful patterns to understanding why those patterns exist in the first place and what it actually takes to change them.This episode doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable. Eri speaks honestly about loneliness, not as a personal failure, but as a messenger worth listening to. She unpacks the seven relationship patterns that most of us are living out without realising it, and offers a framework for releasing what no longer serves us through what she calls the Relationship Death Ritual. It is practical, it is compassionate, and it is exactly the kind of conversation we rarely have loudly enough."You always have a choice in love." This episode is a reminder that relearning is not a step backwards. It is how we finally move forward.IN THIS EPISODEHow childhood experiences quietly write the rules we carry into every adult relationshipWhat self-love actually looks like beyond the Instagram captionThe seven relationship patterns and how to identify which ones are running your lifeThe loneliness loop — what it is, why it happens, and how to break itConflict resolution and emotional mastery as everyday relationship toolsThe Relationship Death Ritual and how to release what no longer serves youThe Byron Katie Method and how to shift your thinking when you're stuckWhy choice is the most powerful thing we have in love.Links:🌐 Relearn Love: relearnlove.com📖 Relationship Agreements (Book): Available on Amazon☕ This podcast runs on coffee and quiet confidence that different minds build better worlds.
