This is a Fan Fav episode. What stops us from finding real love? Is it bad luck, a broken picker… or the fantasy that “chemistry” is the only thing that matters? In this conversation, I sit down with love and relationship expert Spirit to crack open the truths most of us never hear about compatibility, new relationship energy, forgiveness, and how to build a lasting partnership—even when the butterflies fade.

Spirit and I go deep on the difference between chemistry and compatibility (and why confusing the two is a recipe for disaster), how resentment builds if we avoid hard conversations, and what real forgiveness actually looks like. Plus, we get tactical: how to work through grudges, make better “agreements” as a couple, and reignite connection after years together. This episode is packed with real talk, practical tools, and myth-busting must-knows for anyone who wants extraordinary love—not just the fairy tale.
