Welcome to our first Substack post! We’re so glad you’re here. We’re starting off the new year with a new episode that’s just for you, dear readers.
This episode is all about love and how to intentionally design and build the long-lasting, mutually fulfilling, loving relationships you desire. Dr. Sara Nasserzadeh, author of Love By Design: 6 Ingredients to Build a Lifetime of Love unpacks her paradigm-shifting model of Emergent Love, and helps us with exercises and epiphany-inducing re-defines of attraction, respect, trust, compassion, shared vision, and loving behaviors. Along the way we learn to spot and avoid the common misfires and disconnects, and how this new way of thinking and behaving serves to benefit ALL of your relationships. When we’re intentional with our creative agency in our relationships, it ripples out to benefit all of humanity. *swoon
Bonus Q&A with Dr. Sara Nasserzadeh
What’s the best advice that you’ve ever gotten?
“Don’t see it? Create it!” from my father
“Always find something that you appreciate about the person in front of you and then engage with them” from my mother
What’s your current favorite tool or material to work with?
Collective wisdom of our human community is the best guiding tool for me. Learning from anyone even if I don’t think they represent a source of wisdom that I am usually familiar with.
What book is on your nightstand?
My gratitude journal!
Favorite restaurant in your city?
I live in LA, impossible to choose!
Who do you look up to and why?
How much space do I get for this one because it could be pages of names but if I have to pick one person, I would say my older sister. She is bright, courageous beyond anyone I have seen in my life and loving beyond words. Why? Because if she is this way, I can be too!
