Love is in the air… or is it? In this special Galentine’s Day edition of Inside the Design Studio, I’m joined by Leisa Holland-Nelson Bowman and Shavonnah Roberts Schreiber for a no-holds-barred conversation about Valentine’s Day—romantic, cynical, and everything in between. From pop culture’s best (and worst) love stories to the joy of Galentine’s, Hallmark movies, bad date-watching at Steak 48, and even a new business venture that might make us blush, this episode is full of laughter, wisdom, and a few spicy surprises.

So grab your heart-shaped candy (or a stiff drink) and settle in for a conversation about love, friendship, and the moments that take our breath away—or leave us running for the exits.
