I am so drawn to the real and the raw stories about love. A romantic relationship with a life-long partner looks nothing like what I saw in Disney and Hollywood stories growing up. We all want to hear that everything will turn out great and that life is sunrises and waves crashing on the beach. Sure, it is some of that. But love and relationship have a lot of turmoil and hurt nestled right deep inside of the love. It is not separate from love, it is part of love.
I’m so happy that our media has come a long way since I was a kid. If you want to find real and honest love stories, you might have to search hard, but they can be found. So here are 3 incredible options for podcasts about authentic love and all the complex nuances of choosing to reconnect in relationship over and over and over again.
1) THE LOVE LOVE LOVE PODCAST with Yan Palmer

I am so excited that you posted this! I need some good podcasts for my flights to Europe next week! Downloading them now:)
Oh yes!!! Podcasts are so great for travel! Although the passengers next to you might see you shed a tear or two 😉
I was just thinking I should look into downloading some podcasts. I will start with these, they sound very interesting! Thank you for making this post.
Podcasts are so fantastic…but addicting. Look out 😉
Love this blog post! It’s so true that love is not what’s shown in Disney movies (although wouldn’t that be easy!). I will definitely look into these podcasts!
So cool — I’ve been thinking I need to turn off news and edit to podcasts more and these sound great — thanks for sharing! Also that first photo is adorable 🙂
That’s a fantastic idea! I love editing to podcasts. Although I can’t cull while listening to podcasts cause it takes too much of my mental attention 😉
I love podcasts and I will have to check these out. Thank you for sharing!
Yes! I love podcasts while im working. Cute bunny too!
That photo with the bunny though just melts my heart. Thank you for sharing those recommendations 🙂 I will check them out! Happy Friday!
I keep meaning to listen to Yan’s podcast. It’s on my list!
It’s soooo good!
I’m sharing this podcast recommendation because along with the crazy stories they talk about they are constantly talking about self awareness, self love, and most importantly mental health and getting help for your own well being. So the Podcast is "My Favorite Murder". Yes, they talk about murders that have happened, past ones, old ones, usually famous ones. It’s two ladies talking about it and they are funny too. It’s crazy but good. Very good.
Wow, that sounds fascinating…murder + self love + humor….I gotta check it out! Thanks for the recommendation Sandra!
These podcasts about love sound great!!! I will have to check them out!! And that picture with the bunny is so sweet!!
