A wise person once said: "To love is to recognise yourself in another." In this special episode, my husband Avnish Goyal joins me as we use Valentine's Day as a springboard to discuss various aspects of our journey to and through love. Avnish shares a wonderful framework that some may find helpful; we delve into what 'interdependence' is and the theory behind it; discuss the various phases of love and why the first one will inevitably transform; and how relationships that start off with a plan or roadmap usually have a better chance of reaching their destination than those without any.

I’m so grateful to have received such support for this, my podcast, my book and the enrichment program that I launched to better the lives of disadvantaged children. I’ve been reflecting on the past year, the things I’ve achieved and some of the things I’ve learned; the most obvious to me is the LEARN model. Love, Enrich, Appreciate, Relationships and Network. In this episode, I explain how you can look at your own life and goals through the lens of this model; and how I’m applying it to what I’ll be striving to achieve next. Needless to say, our Vision Board Workshop in January feels like it was just yesterday and a lifetime ago at the same time. As we approach the end of 2021 My Vision board is still hanging on my bedroom wall as a reminder of what I set out to achieve at the start of this year. As we approach January again, I’m really looking forward to revisiting the workshop once more and setting my 2022 vision for myself. I hope you can join me on the journey also!
