#52 - Afraid to Love

The movies make love seem easy, an instant connection between the pair, a slight disagreement in the middle, but in the end, a happily ever after. From a very young age, we are taught to chase love. It allows us to have a partner in life, to have the family we've always dreamed of, and to feel accepted for everything we are. But what happens when we want all of those things, but are ultimately afraid to love? This week, we dive into how society has often romanticized love and make it seem so effortless. We discuss our fears when it comes opening up and being vulnerable to giving/receiving love and how those fears have affected our relationships in both the past and present. Are we all capable of opening ourselves up to love or are some of us wired differently? Follow us on social!

Om Podcasten

Perfectly Imperfect is the show for those who are searching for growth and acceptance. As two Asian American women, Christine Chen and Regina Fang started having real and raw conversations after work 10+ years ago about our community and us as 20 something women. Now we’ve turned our 3am talks to this podcast where we can openly share thoughts + feels about mental health, friendships, and life lessons we’ve learned along the way.  We create meaningful and deep connections that make you feel loved and seen. You are not alone, come join our perfectly imperfect conversations!
