In this episode, we have the honor of speaking with the incredibly thoughtful and wise Chiffon Lark, who tells us a story of romantic longing rooted in personal purpose.
Together, we explore whether the desire for a romantic relationship can coexist with an intentional, independent life. We then dive into today’s dating discourse, why many women are rejecting traditional relationship models, and what we can learn about alternative relationship models through the teachings of Chiffon’s Indigenous culture.
