The Presence You Never Got & the Love You Always Had
What if love isn’t something you have to earn, decode, or chase?
What if the way you've been trying to be loved is actually a reflection of what you never received?
In this episode, I explore the raw truth behind the “love languages” we cling to and what’s often hiding beneath them: absence, adaptation, and unspoken emotional needs. Drawing from my own experience of hypervigilance and staying small to stay safe, I guide you through the deeper question we must all ask: What is love, really?
We’ll move through:
The survival roles we develop when presence is missing
Why “love languages” are often compensations, not core truths
How to reconnect with the love that has always lived inside you
The role of the nervous system in how we receive (or block) love
Somatic practices for cultivating safety, presence, and true connection
This episode is a return to the essence of love: presence.
Not performance. Not perfection. Just being.
