Episode Description from the Publisher

What if the parts of yourself you’ve spent years trying to fix are actually connected to your greatest strengths? Julie & Yue are joined by psychotherapist and Deeper Dating author Ken Page to explore how our perceived flaws can point toward the qualities that make us most authentic, passionate, and alive. Rather than trying to become more lovable, we explore what happens when we recognize our core gifts, embrace the parts of ourselves we’ve learned to hide, and choose relationships where those qualities can truly be appreciated. In this episode, you’ll learn: - How your perceived flaws can reveal your greatest gifts - Why trying to become more lovable can backfire - How to recognize the qualities that make you uniquely you - Why authenticity can lead to stronger relationships - How to find connections where your gifts are genuinely valued To learn more about Ken Page, follow him @deeper.dating and visit www.deeperdating.com Want to feel more connected to your partner?
