Love Languages or Childhood Wounds? What Your Heart Is Really Craving

What if your love language isn’t who you are… but what you didn’t receive when you needed love the most?

In this episode, we explore how “love languages” may reveal early childhood wounds rather than your true essence. I’ll guide you through seeing the longing beneath the label, why real love doesn’t need performance, and how to reconnect with the presence that love is meant to be.

You’ll hear about:

• How survival shapes our view of love
• Why absence leaves an echo we may mistake for identity
• The subtle difference between craving presence and earning it
• What it feels like to love without fear

If you’ve ever felt unseen, unmet, or like you had to earn love, this conversation is for you. It’s an invitation to come home to the love that doesn’t need to be earned.
