Welcome to episode 220 of the Love Live Connection podcast. I’m really excited about today’s episode because I will be debunking the myth that love is unconditional.  I’ll be talking with Carrie who is struggling with a pattern of running from relationships at the first sign of struggle.  We trace back to her childhood and find out where this pattern came from.  But the biggest takeaway from our conversation is the realization of the difference between unconditional love and unconditional acceptance. I hope you enjoyed this episode! Find me on Instagram or send me an email with your feedback.
