Love Notes – Episode 5: The Language of Touch
Welcome to Love Notes — your Friday night ritual in The Passion Zone. I’m Allie Theiss, your guide through poems, dedications, reflections, and sparks of intimacy.
I created Love Notes — both live and as a recorded podcast — because the world needs more love. Everywhere we turn, from the news to social media, we’re bombarded by chaos and heartbreak. This show is my way of shifting the energy — of creating space to invite love in, remember what it feels like, and remind each other that connection still matters.
Join me live every Friday night, 9–10 pm ET on TikTok @the.passion.zone NO SHOW ON OCTOBER 24TH.
Please like, comment, and share the LOVE. 💖
