Summary

In this episode, John talks about how love evolves and changes as we grow older. In our 20s and 30s, love is about late-night conversations, romantic gestures, and finding self-value in another person. In our 40s and 50s, love becomes more about creating a shared space, being non-possessive, and prioritizing each other's well-being. He also talks about how the millennial generation is redefining love and relationships, prioritizing honesty, growth, and individuality.

Roughly ten minutes of self help in a shot glass. If you're looking for a wine glass, you've come to the wrong place. Marriage family therapist and best-selling author, John Kim, shares his life and love revelations as well as insights from his sessions. He pulls the curtain back and documents his journey as a therapist but more importantly, as a human being.
