Ep #121 Love Over Fear

Hey everyone! Welcome back to season six of the Dear Franny Podcast! 🎉 I’m Franny, and I’m super excited to kick off this new season with you all. Today, I’m diving into my journey of writing my first book, ‘How to Find True Love,’ and I’ve got some juicy insights to share.   We’re chatting about why being your authentic self is a game-changer in dating and relationships. It’s all about moving from a fear-based mindset to one that’s rooted in love. Trust me, embracing this shift can make a world of difference!   I’ll be talking about the whole love journey—why it’s important to enjoy the ride and make choices that really align with what you want. No more reacting out of fear or feeling pressured by society. It’s about being true to yourself and making decisions that reflect your desires and values.   Plus, I’m giving you a sneak peek into our next episode, where we’ll dig even deeper into the different layers of authenticity.    Here are some of the highlights:   - “Dating apps have taken so much of people’s romantic agency away from them.” - “Love is a verb, and choosing love is all about growth and learning.” - “Dating from a place of love versus fear leads to better outcomes.”   Can’t wait to dive in with you all. Let’s make this season the best one yet! 💖   Timestamps   00:00 Introduction and Book Announcement  05:42 The Importance of Authenticity 10:24 Embracing the Love Journey  14:11 Shifting from Fear to Love  21:21 The Power of Authenticity in Compatibility  25:01 Conclusion and Next Episode Teaser   Watch Franny’s TED talk: Franny’s TED talk at: https://go.ted.com/francescahogi   @dearfranny on Instagram   @dearfrannypodcast on Instagram   Credits:    Edited and produced by Bex Carlos Cover art photography by Matt Romasanta Hosted and cover art designed by Francesca Hogi
