Monica Berg and Michael Berg
About this episode

In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, Monica and Michael explore the definition of ‘true’ love – the unconditional love we have for others that isn’t based in our ego’s selfish desires but, rather, our desire for them to have goodness and blessings in their lives. Tune in as they share practical tools for creating a solid foundation and actively growing our relationships.



For a relationship to really grow, there has to be a shift to where we ask ourselves, “What am I giving to it?” – Michael Berg
