What Happened to the Romance?

Not in a dramatic way. In a real way.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on love, presence, and how connection has shifted over time. Inspired by the marriage of my grandparents, this is a deeper look at what made romance feel different… and what might be missing today.

We talk about:
• Why romance feels different now
• How speed, convenience, and constant access have changed connection
• The role of presence and attention in creating real intimacy
• A personal reflection on witnessing a deeply connected marriage
• The neuroscience behind romance, anticipation, and emotional bonding
• Where we may have traded depth for efficiency

Because romance isn’t built on access.

It’s built on intention.
