Episode 93: Exploring Love in the Modern World with Natalia Rachel
Have you ever found yourself questioning what love, connection and relationships are supposed to look like in the modern world?
Despite living in a time where we’re more connected than ever digitally, so many people still feel lonely, disconnected or uncertain about love, intimacy and belonging.
In this deeply thoughtful and intriguing episode of It’s a Mindset, I’m joined by Natalia Rachel - writer, relationship and culture innovator, trauma-informed educator and author of Other Lovers. Natalia’s latest book explores romantic love, intimacy and relationships in the modern world through a unique blend of storytelling, psychology, sociology and emotional insight.
Together, we explore the ways we give and receive love, how modern life impacts our relationships, and why so many people are quietly questioning traditional ideas around partnership, marriage and belonging.
This conversation also touches on the isolation many people experience in modern life - particularly mothers and families living in silos without the deeper sense of connection and community humans truly crave.
I absolutely love an episode about relationships and exploring love in the modern world as Natalia does - there was so much in this conversation that intrigued me and left me reflecting deeply afterwards. This is a thoughtful, emotionally intelligent and expansive conversation about modern love, connection, self-awareness and what it means to truly belong.
