Drop into the middle of raw and honest conversations about love, sex, family, heartbreak, and how we define ourselves in and out of relationships. Therese Barbato hosts this slumber-party style podcast from her bed in Brooklyn, where guests unpack and explore how their personal history and experiences have shaped their unique sense of love.
Therese has been obsessed with all things Love from the time she was a wee girl. After years of cornering people at parties to get to the bottom of their love lives, she decided to take those intimate conversations into a public forum via that’s what she said. Therese is curious not just about who we love (or don’t), but how we came by our personal roadmap for love — our early notions and heartbreaks, our expectations and discoveries. Her probing questions have a way of revealing the larger truths of how we all succeed, fail and learn in love.
