Love, in all its forms, is a fundamental human experience. But far too often, we forsake self-love in pursuit of love for others.

Together, Lu and Theresa weigh up various habits and practices that prove effective in maintaining the equilibrium of self-love and love for others. So, tune in this week for an insightful discussion that explores the complexities of love, and discover useful pointers for a loving, balanced life!
