How to Love...

Sometimes it can be hard to find a balance between relationships, friends, work and family, but somehow we manage.  My guest Edemy and I discuss how she finds time for all these aspects of her life, how they've taken a toll, and what she does to cope with the stress that comes with life's challenges.  Along with this, we offer some tips on self-care and reveal some secrets.  You can find this podcast on Instagram @howtolovve.

Dating is full of ups and downs, tears and fears, and you can listen to my guest Hannah and I discuss all of that in this episode!

Growing up, whether they knew it or not, our parents - in some ways - helped shape our views of relationships.  Through observations and lessons, they taught us what we want and what we don't want in our future relationships.  In this episode, I have two guests, Marleny and Jennifer, who speak about their own experiences with their parents and how they shaped their views on relationships throughout their lives.  

A lot of us find comfort in the words "it wasn't meant to be" after we experience a disappointment or heartbreak.  We also say that maybe it was fate that we went through certain situations to have gotten where we are today.  In this episode, Maddy and I discuss the concept of fate and ask: is there really a higher power guiding us through life, or is it just our own choices and coincidences?

Loving yourself can be one of the most difficult parts of life.  This week, my guest Jerry and I discuss how we've grown to love ourselves over the years.  We also speak about our process, the obstacles we've had to face as well as the moments we decided to start living for ourselves and not for others.

To the dismay of some of our parents, sometimes we find ourselves in interracial relationships.  In this episode, my guest Liz discusses how it took some time for her parents to warm up to her boyfriend who is Filipino.  We also discuss how cultural differences can make a relationship stronger and why it's important to understand each other's worlds.  

My guest this week is Ingrid, who happens to be in a long distance relationship with someone who lives in Germany while she is here in the United States.  We discuss the pros and cons of being in a long distance relationship, why it works for her and what to do if you find yourself in this situation one day.  

It's time to talk about astrology! In this week's episode I, along with my two guests Meliss and Maritza, discuss if astrological signs have an impact on the relationships in our lives based on our birth times.  We dish on our own loves of both past and present to reflect on how our signs have helped shape not only ourselves, but everyone else around.  I would like to dedicate this specific episode to the late Walter Mercado, who was an icon in astrology, and who taught us to live con mucho, mucho amor.  

In this week's episode, I interview my guest, Jennifer (my mother), to discuss the concept of soulmates, who can be your soulmate, when you know you found "the one" and whether you can have more than one.  My mother also reads me for filth and calls me out on my bullshit, so I hope you enjoy this one! 

In How to Love's premiere episode, Michael's first guest is Maddy, who speaks about how they dealt with their own difficult heartbreak, and how they managed to give birth to a new self after heart ache.

Whether we like it or not, love has gotten the best of all of us.  Whether we caught a little bit of feelings for someone, fell completely in love, or completely out of love, these experiences and feelings are universal.  Here's a little trailer for the podcast explaining more about what's going to happen in the future!
