River + Michele discuss Beyond Romance. With the upcoming Valentine's Day looming, it's important to recognize those other deep and meaningful relationships who without a doubt, I like to call our "front row."

We’ve been taught to put romance on a pedestal—but what if the deepest, most fulfilling relationships of our lives aren’t romantic at all? Beyond Romance challenges the conventional wisdom that prioritizes romantic love over all else, exploring how lifelong friendships can be just as, if not more, significant.

Join us as we unpack the undervalued power of deep friendships, the societal pressures that shape our ideas of “significant others,” and why expanding our definition of meaningful connection can lead to richer, more supportive lives. Whether you’re single, partnered, or somewhere in between, this podcast will inspire you to rethink what it truly means to be someone’s person.
