Love Lives

21

Love comes in many shapes and forms. People, objects, places, animals, music, and even moments are all capable of sparking those magical feelings within us. In this new video podcast from The Independent, we’ll be speaking to guests about the different loves of their lives, the stories behind them and what that love has taught them about themselves and their place in the world. Because all of us are capable of loving something – and deep down, it’s the things we choose to love, and how we love them, that often reveal the most about who we are. Welcome to Love Lives with Olivia Petter.

    Smart, Fun, & Always Leaves Me Smiling
    I love this podcast so much. Rachel and Olivia are amazing— so so smart, insightful, honest, and fun to listen to! It feels like talking to some of my best friends about boys and the trials and tribulations of millennial dating. As a longtime Singleton myself, it’s been so great to hear smart folks talk so candidly about their own experience. So glad it’s coming back!!! Thanks Rachel and Olivia for your honesty and joy! Sending love and good vibes from New Orleans
