In this episode, we’re joined by love coach, podcaster, author and former Survivor contestant Francesca Hogi—who brings a fresh, soulful lens to the way we think about love, relationships, and connection in 2025.

Francesca shares her journey from corporate lawyer to reality TV to matchmaking and beyond, and unpacks why the way we’ve been taught to rank love—placing romantic relationships above all else—isn’t just outdated, it’s limiting.

This isn’t about dating tips. It’s about how to center love in your life, define worth on your own terms, and stop waiting to be picked to feel powerful.

Also in this episode:
– Soulmates beyond romance (yes, your best friend counts)
– Francesca’s viral take on the “love hierarchy”
– How Survivor helped her rewrite her life
– Why swiping doesn’t equal connection
– The loneliness epidemic, AI companions, and what real intimacy still demands
– Centering love without losing yourself in the process

Francesca reminds us that the deepest, truest love starts within—and that we are all already portals to the love we seek.
