In this episode Alexis and Sangodare explore the profound importance of self-love as a foundational practice in relationships. The episode draws inspiration from black feminist literature and discusses the concept of 'romancing the stone'—the idea that we should lavish love and care on ourselves before extending it to others. Practical advice includes creating accessible self-love practices, breaking away from traditional gender roles, and nurturing deep, authentic connections. They also answer a listener's question about overcoming ingrained social patterns within a relationship.
