What if love isn't something you fall into—but something you practice?

In this episode, Nina Westbrook sits down with Codie Elaine Oliver, founder of Black Love, to unpack the real work behind relationships. From dating struggles and societal narratives to building a marriage, business, and family simultaneously, Codie shares what it truly takes to love well.

They explore vulnerability, communication, and the evolving nature of relationships—especially in seasons of growth, stress, and transition.

This conversation is honest, layered, and necessary.

This is not a surface-level conversation. It's about the truth of love:

  • The hard seasons
  • The uncomfortable questions
  • The growth required to sustain it

If you've ever questioned relationships, marriage, or what "love" actually requires… this one is for you.

 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

  • Why love is a skill, not just a feeling
  • The truth about modern relationships and unrealistic expectations
  • How to navigate marriage, business, and family simultaneously
  • Why vulnerability and communication are essential
  • What "survival mode" looks like in relationships—and how to move through it
