Vida & Steph
We're Vida & Steph and we're on a heartfelt journey into the complexities of love in all its forms. Inspired by bell hooks' 'all about love,' we go beyond superficial narratives to have candid conversations, share personal stories, and reflect on the twists and turns of love –familial, platonic, romantic, and beyond. Come with us as we walk the path of self-discovery and genuine connection to create more love!
Power struggles can ruin relationships.
Let's dig into power dynamics in relationships as we explore the intersection of love and control. In this episode of More Love, we delve into dominance culture, as described by bell hooks, and its impact on romantic, platonic, and parenting relationships. From navigating jealousy among friends to questioning parental authority and exploring the concept of freedom within monogamy, we tackle the tough questions surrounding power and love.
