     Do you hate the one you love? It’s a bold question… and also the title of my guest’s latest book. But this conversation really goes beyond the headline.

At 85 years old, psychotherapist Joan Childs (who neither looks, sounds nor acts her age) shares what she’s seen in decades of working with couples. We talk about what ‘hate’ really means in the context of love, why you might resent someone you still deeply care about and how marriage isn’t always built on the reasons we think it is 😬

There’s no fluff here - just honest stories, sharp insights and a few uncomfortable truths about long-term relationships, staying power and emotional clarity💡

We also explore: 🛏️Why couples grow apart but don’t separate 🤐How resentment builds in silence 💔The hidden reasons people stay - or leave 💍What we should really be looking for when we say ‘I do’

This episode will make you think - and maybe even rethink everything... So take a moment to listen, especially if you've ever loved someone and still felt alone.
