Summary
Think you’re low-maintenance until they stop texting back? Can’t breathe unless you’re together 24/7? Sounds like you’ve got a ‘Quality Time’ love language. But don’t panic... needing time isn’t the problem, ignoring it is.
Hi besties!! Today we’re breaking down everything you need to know about the second most common love language: Quality Time.
So before you call it quits, LISTEN UP.
If you’re feeling unloved, or they swear you’re “too needy,” this episode is your playbook. I’m breaking down how 'Quality Time' lovers give and receive love, so you can stop misreading the signs and start getting what you actually need.
Send this to your partner (yes, I’m giving you the green light) or listen yourself if you’ve been dating someone who blows up your phone five minutes after you leave.
Your clinginess? It’s not clingy.
It’s love. Let’s talk about it.

| 0:55.0 | 2026, I've decided to dedicate once a month an episode to a book club where I share some |
| 1:00.7 | of my favorite books, some of my favorite chapters from those books, where we get to learn |
| 1:04.2 | a lot, understand each other better, understand ourselves better, and just listen to my voice |
