Welcome to So This is Love, a podcast about love, the loss of love, heartbreak and the meeting of self. We share stories on how the relationships we once had teach us about who we are and define who we become. And maybe through these stories, we can answer that age old question; is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?

    Awesome episodes every time! I am learning a lot about relationships and making me think if I have triggers or am I triggering anyone. I am also a mum now, so I am learning, unlearning and relearning from these relationships
