The 7 Pillars to Finding Genuine Love Beyond Dating Apps | Francesca Hogi

Live Well Be Well with Sarah Ann Macklin | Health, Lifestyle, Nutrition

This week on Live Well Be Well, I'm exploring the world of modern love and relationships with dating coach and author Francesca Hogi. In an era where AI relationships are becoming reality and dating apps dominate our search for connection, Francesca offers refreshing insights into how we can find authentic love in these complex times.

Our conversation dives deep into what creates emotional safety in relationships, the importance of developing self-trust, and why so many people are feeling burnt out by modern dating culture. Francesca shares her powerful perspective on the "new definition of true love" and explains why rejection isn't what we think it is.

Francesca explains that when you truly value yourself, you naturally become attracted to people who genuinely appreciate you rather than those who merely tolerate you. We also explore her fascinating Meet Cute Mindset framework for creating more opportunities to find love in everyday life.
