In a culture that tries to convince us that we must buy more, do more, and achieve more in order to attain love, Humble the Poet explains that actually the greatest love is the one that comes from within ourselves. He unpacks the illusion of love that is fed to us in mainstream culture, and how to navigate the 'game' of dating while staying true to yourself. He dives deeps on self acceptance, vulnerability, boundaries, and identifying red flags before it's too late.

Humble shares his own story of coming into a deeper knowing of self love through a painful heartbreak, and how it manifested into his recent book "How to Be Love(d)".
