THE BRIDGERTON FANTASY

from Love By Design · host Joan Nwosu

Bridgerton Season 4 is here, and once again we're being sold the fantasy: Regency-era love was passionate, soul-led, and pure. Sophie and Benedict's story makes it look like people married for LOVE back then, not obligation.But here's the truth Joan won't let you ignore: They didn't.In this episode, Joan pulls back the curtain on what love actually looked like in the Regency era (1811-1820). She breaks down the good, the bad, and the ugly of this romanticized period, what we're fantasizing about when we watch Bridgerton, what the reality was for women, and what (if anything) is actually worth romanticizing.If you've ever watched Bridgerton and thought "why can't love be that simple anymore?" — this episode will show you it never was. The Regency era had its own prison. And understanding what it actually looked like helps us see why building something NEW matters.🎁 Download Your Free Love Gates ReportDiscover which of the 10 Love Gates are activated in YOUR design — and what they mean for how you give and receive love.👉 newlovelanguages.com
