"Is my partner truly my soulmate or is it something we create together?"

"How do I find the upside of my partner's imperfections?"

"How do you rebuild trust after betrayal?"

On today's episode of Sex, Love & Elephants, I'm joined by bestselling author and love alchemist Arielle Ford, author of The Soulmate Secret, Wabi Sabi Love, Turn Your Mate Into Your Soulmate, and her debut novel, The Love Thief.

Arielle and I explore the messy, magnificent reality of long-term love, learning to love the perfectly imperfect person in front of you, and dive into why soulmates aren't found, they're made.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

(01:18) About wabi-sabi love and how an ancient Japanese aesthetic can transform the way you see your partner's most irritating habits

(06:11) The physical and emotional toll of running a negative story about your partner

(09:14) Why you're going to die with your core wounds and why that's liberating news for your relationship

(13:20) Why butterflies are nature's trick and love is a daily behavior and choice

(23:09) You probably already have many soulmates in your life right now

(31:44) About The Love Thief, Arielle's debut novel based on actual events

(38:30) The physical and psychological devastation of intimate betrayal mirrors PTSD

(52:13) Today's LoveByte
