What if love isn’t just something we feel—but something we are? In this episode of the Talking Addiction & Recovery Podcast, we sit down with David Cunningham, author of Your Love Does Matter, to explore transformation, grace, and the lasting impact of our daily interactions. Drawing from decades of leadership—including 35 years with the Landmark Forum and now leading The Awakening—David shares the difference between change and transformation. While change often feels forced and fear-based, transformation creates new possibilities and empowers us from within.

David wrote Your Love Does Matter as a conversational love letter, intentionally designed so readers experience love while reading—not just learn about it. If you work in recovery, mental health, or simply want to live with greater intention, this conversation offers a powerful invitation: expand your love footprint.
