    40. What Premarital Coaching Can Teach Us About Lasting Partnership | Kory McBride

    Do we really know what we’re signing up for when we say “yes” to a marriage? In this episode of Love with Francesca, I sit down with premarital counselor, Kory McBride, to talk about why premarital counseling isn’t just for engaged couples, it’s one of the most powerful tools for women already in long-term relationships who want clarity, emotional fairness, and a healthier way forward. In this episode, we explore: ✨ The real purpose of premarital counseling (and why it’s not just for engaged couples) ✨ The difference between infatuation and choosing love with your eyes open ✨ How expectations, especially unspoken ones, damage relationships ✨ What it actually means to “grow together” versus over-functioning or fixing ✨ The giver-taker dynamic and why over-giving leads to resentment ✨ Why boundaries and “rules of engagement” matter during conflict ✨ How childhood, past relationships, and role models shape how we love ✨ Why winning an argument is never worth damaging the relationship Whether you’re dating, engaged, married, or reflecting on your relationship patterns, this episode offers grounded wisdom and practical insight into building a partnership that lasts.

    37. Breakups as a Portal to Yourself | Tisha Moneè

    What if the hardest breakup you’re going through is actually the biggest blessing in your life?  I know that may sound like a huge contradiction, and it is, but it also can be your truth.  In this episode of Love with Francesca, I sit down with Tisha Moneè to explore how emotional endings, whether after a breakup or inside a long-term relationship, can become powerful invitations back to self-connection, awareness, and truth. We dive into: ✨ Why breakups often repeat themselves when lessons aren’t integrated ✨ The difference between “moving on” and actually moving through heartbreak ✨ How emotional avoidance shows up as dating burnout, bitterness, and self-sabotage ✨ Why demonizing your ex keeps you stuck in survival mode ✨ The fixer archetype, people-pleasing, and the need for external validation ✨ How unprocessed emotions quietly drive your dating choices and behaviors ✨ Why emotions aren’t the enemy ✨ When breakups can actually repair relationships or help you leave with clarity ✨ Why healing doesn’t mean doing it alone, and who to lean on for real support If you’re navigating a breakup, feeling stuck in dating patterns, or questioning why the same dynamics keep showing up in your relationships, this episode offers clarity, accountability, and a powerful reframe: awareness is a gift.

    34. Growing a Business Without Losing Your Relationships | Anna Rapp

    What if success didn’t mean choosing between your business and your loved ones? What if ambition could feel spacious, supportive, and sustainable—without burning out or missing out on the people who matter most?
