40. FALLING IN LOVE: Is there really “the one” or is “the one” YOU?
About this episode
1. Why “falling in love” feels like you’re losing your mind—and Amanda’s experience when Glennon fell hard for Abby.
2. Why Abby thinks the idea of “the one” is the most romantic way to live, and why Amanda thinks “the one” is unromantic and uninteresting.
3. Glennon’s belief that loves are like plants: some loves are perennials that continue to bloom, others are annuals, full for a season and then back to earth to nourish soil—but that no love is ever, ever wasted.
4. Why so many of us either think we can be fixed by love, or that we can fix others with our love.
