This week on Let’s Talk Love, Robin is joined by Francesca Hogi —matchmaker, love coach, and author of How to Find True Love—for an enlightening conversation about self-awareness, personal growth, and the journey to meaningful relationships.

Francesca shares her inspiring story of transitioning careers to help others find love, emphasizing the importance of self-love and introspection as foundations for lasting connections.
