CJ and Emily don't just believe in soulmates, they believe their lives are evidence. From the moment they connected in college, their connection felt effortless. No grand gestures or drama, just an unmistakable sense of knowing. Now, a decade and a marriage later, they join Grace and Anna to unpack what, exactly, has kept them convinced that their relationship was something destined.

They paint a clear picture of what it means to build love on emotional safety – the early, high-stakes conversations that could have gone wrong but didn't, the relief of being understood for the parts of yourself that once felt "too much," and the kind of growth that only happens when someone loves you into becoming more fully yourself.
