Ep.86 Saying "I love you"

Alia Zaita & Yoni Ekoto
About this episode

everyone knows that one of the hardest things to say in a relationship is those three words. but what about other non-romantic relationships in our lives? saying "I love you" comes easier to some people than others, as our previous experiences, the way we grew up culturally, and how we genuinely feel all play a part in telling someone you love them. do you tell your friends you love them all the time? or what about your parents and family? when was the last time you felt pressure to say "I love you" because someone said it first? those three little words can be so nuanced, complicated, and tough to handle, and in today's episode, we dove right in. enjoy!
