In this shorter, more personal episode today, Leanne shares a conversation originally recorded inside the Braver Women® Community following Valentine’s Day - a time that can stir up powerful emotions around loneliness, romantic love, and self-worth, especially for LGBTQ+ women who have not always felt fully seen or understood.

This episode explores the deeper reality behind fear of judgement and fear of disconnection, and why romantic love often brings our emotional patterns to the surface. Rather than offering surface level reassurance, Leanne speaks honestly about the difference between romantic love and the many other forms of connection that shape our lives - and how confusing the two can quietly fuel the inner critic.

Inside this conversation, you’ll hear reflections on:

• Why romantic love can feel intense - and what it often reveals beneath the surface
• How loneliness can activate older emotional imprints linked to belonging and safety
• The difference between longing for romantic love and believing you are without love entirely
• How self-worth grows through the relationship you have with yourself, not just through being chosen

If this episode resonates, the Braver Women® community is where these deeper conversations continue. It’s a space for lesbian and queer women who are ready to move beyond insight alone and begin changing the emotional patterns that shape how they live and relate.
