What if the love you've been chasing was never meant to stay the same?
In this episode, John Kim shares excerpts from his new book, Love Hard on Purpose, and explores how love evolves as we heal.

In this episode:
• Why love isn't just meant to make us happy, but to help us heal
• The difference between healthy love and unhealthy love
• How we confuse intensity with intimacy
• Why conflict and repair are essential to lasting relationships
