What if everything you were taught about love was backwards? In this transformative episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael invite you to step away from the endless search for love outside yourself — and instead awaken to the truth that you came here to give love, not get it.
If you’ve ever felt lonely, unfulfilled, or disappointed in relationships, this conversation will help you see why seeking love from others rarely brings lasting peace. With warmth and wisdom, Lisa and Michael explore how real fulfillment begins when you stop chasing validation and start embodying the love already within you.
Lisa and Michael explore the idea that we enter this world radiating love, only to be conditioned to seek it externally. They share how society often teaches us to look outside ourselves for validation and affection, leading to feelings of loneliness and disconnection. With heartfelt insights, they emphasize the importance of self-love and the transformative power of giving love without expectation.
This episode serves as a powerful reminder that our purpose is to fill our own cups with love so that we can overflow with kindness and compassion for others. Tune in to discover how you can become a vessel of love, embracing your innate capacity to give and receive love in its purest form. One shift can change everything: When you stop seeking and start giving, you’ll experience love not as a fragile need, but as your truest nature — abundant, radiant, and ever-flowing.
“If you give your life as a wholehearted response to love, then love will wholeheartedly respond to you.” ~ Marianne Williamson
