The Propaganda Around Lust Being Equal to Love

Have you been taught to confuse being desired with being loved? In this raw and healing episode, Mookie dismantles the cultural lie that lust equals love. We dive deep into how media, music, and social norms have trained us to equate attention with affection and how to break free. If you’re ready to stop settling for surface-level connections and start recognizing real love when you see it, this conversation is a must-listen.

How to Protect Yourself From the Lust Trap

1. Pay attention to consistency. Lust is intense but short-lived. Love grows with time.
2. Ask: Do they only show up when they want something? Or are they invested in your well-being?
3. Notice your body. Love feels like peace. Lust often feels like adrenaline. Don’t confuse the rush for a revelation.
4. Use your voice. Ask real questions. Don’t be afraid to define what you want—and watch how they respond.
5. Remember your worth. You don’t have to earn love by being desired. You are love.
