#294: Ready to be lucky in love?

Today I’m sitting down with Francesca Hogi, former corporate lawyer turned matchmaker turned love coach. She’s also an author, TED Speaker, and host of the relationship podcast Dear Franny where she facilitates uncommon questions about love.

Francesca and I discuss ways to heal and tap into your lucky energy to call in and sustain aligned partnership.

We Also Talk About…

How to feel more lucky everyday
Overcoming self-sabotage in relationships
Why you don’t need to be fully healed to find love
