In this episode, host Lori A. Harris speaks with Francesca Hogi, author of How to Find True Love, about what it really takes to build healthy, fulfilling relationships.
Francesca challenges the common belief that love is about finding the perfect partner and living happily ever after. She introduces the idea of the “fairy tale industrial complex” and explains why true love begins with the relationship we have with ourselves.
The conversation explores how self-love is a daily practice, not just a concept, and how our self-worth directly influences the quality of our romantic relationships. Francesca also discusses why many high achievers succeed in their careers but struggle in love, often due to a lack of clarity, intention, and emotional awareness.
This episode offers practical insight for anyone looking to find true love, strengthen self-worth, and create meaningful, lasting relationships.
