Could the essence of love be more than heart-shaped boxes and red roses? Let's unravel the commercial facade and discover the profound connections that elevate our daily lives. In this special episode with fan-favorite guest, Rosie Acosta, we take you on a journey through the true meanings of love, from self-love's deeper layers to the resilience found in long-standing relationships. We'll confront societal pressures, debunk myths about the so-called perfect partnership, and celebrate the authentic love that unites our community. Step away from the expected and celebrate Valentine's Day by embracing love in its many forms, including the most important love story of all: the one you have with yourself.

Rosie rejoins Ruben to explain why long-term love isn't always roses and champagne; it's an action that demands 100% of what we can give. Rosie dissects what it means to love over the years, tackling the crucial aspects of communication and conflict resolution. She shares insights on keeping the flames of love alive, even when they flicker, and how mutual effort rather than a 50/50 split can lead to a more fulfilling connection.

In the intricate dance of dating and relationships, anticipation meets reality, and love's checklist gets a rewrite. The episode delves into the comical yet telling tale of a date with a checklist, prompting us to question the rigidity of our own criteria for love. We'll talk about how love languages evolve and the vital art of letting go, seeing love not as a possession but as a journey of shared growth and evolution. 

How does Rosie live through love? “By being compassionate; desiring for the suffering of others to end. If I have a desire for your suffering to end, that's me living in my fullest expression of love.”

“Love is not about possession but about mutual growth and evolution—a concept that love itself is ever-changing and endlessly fascinating.” - Rosie Acosta

-----

In this episode, you will learn…

• True love transcends commercialized expectations, requiring self-acceptance and deep, authentic connections
• Love in long-term relationships is an action, not just an emotion, demanding continuous effort and communication
• Approach dating with clarity and openness, balancing desires with the unpredictability of love's journey
• Love languages evolve; recognizing and adapting to them is crucial for expressing and sustaining love
• Love is about mutual growth and evolution, not possession; embracing change is key to healthy relationships

-----

“It's about embracing the messiness, the ebbs and flows, and the potent mix of tenderness and tenacity that sustains love over time.” - Rosie Acosta

Humble is back in the studio to brainstorm with Ruben about how we can create and amplify a culture of love through the discomfort, fear, and difficulty of life. He shares wisdom on how to stop taking the easy road (because it doesn’t get you anywhere), reverse your limiting beliefs, and get out of a scarcity mindset and into a LOVE mindset. 

Humble joins Ruben to remind you to be aware that chasing convenience and easiness will not lead to growth. Leaning into the discomfort and difficulty of life will unlock your potential, your ability to evolve, and a higher sense of self-respect.

Are you choosing to be held hostage by fears and imaginary situations that may or may not happen? It’s time to commit to your mission, share your talents and gifts, and do what you can to amplify this culture of love we’re creating. This life isn’t a dress rehearsal. There’s no do overs. 

How does Humble live through Love? "Living a life of letting go of all that extra weight, baggage that you are aware of, and then doing the work to discover all the additional thousand pounds of baggage that's not aware of.” - Humble

“This isn’t an infomercial to sell a dream or an idea. It’s reconciling ideas that we might have lost because we live in such a fast-paced, distracting world that does not incentivize this type of living.” –Humble

-----

In this episode, you will learn…

• Embracing Discomfort: One of the key lessons from the episode is the importance of embracing discomfort as an opportunity for growth. Life's conveniences often act as barriers to our personal growth, hence why it's important to challenge societal narratives and traditional ideas that impede our success.
• Adapting to Change: In our fast-paced world, it's essential to navigate change and adapt to shifting trends, whether it's in technology, business, or relationships. This episode highlights the significance of fostering a culture of love, embracing visionary thinking, and living intentionally in a rapidly changing environment.
• Preserving Artistic Integrity: Humble helps us navigate the struggle of maintaining artistic integrity while striving for financial success in a competitive world. The conversation also touched on the idea of viewing success not as a zero-sum game but as a shared win.
• Cultivating Self-awareness and Love: One of the key messages is the significance of self-awareness, vulnerability, and self-love. Humble stresses the importance of ensuring that our cup is full before trying to fill others'.

Dr. Benjamin Hardy, PhD joins us for an enlightening conversation about our relationship with the past, present, and future.

Finally, don't miss our discussion on psychological flexibility and how this vital trait can empower us to better navigate between past, present, and future.

Together, we uncover strategies to increase our psychological flexibility and, ultimately, unmask our future selves. Join us on this journey of self-discovery and growth!

How does Ben live through love? “I never let a goal to be accomplished become more important than a person to be loved.” - Benjamin Hardy

In this episode, you will learn…

• Live From the Future: This podcast highlights the importance of operating from the future, not just living in it. Dr. Hardy explains that we need to connect with our future selves and let this image guide our current decisions and actions. This means setting clear goals for the future, and letting these objectives determine what we say yes or no to in the present.
• Pursue Impossible Goals: The episode emphasizes the transformative power of pursuing seemingly impossible goals. Moving from wishing to taking action can lead to significant personal growth and development. This involves being honest with ourselves, confronting our fears, and taking risks.

-----

“Recognize that you can learn from your past. You're not defined by it, but also it takes huge flexibility to actually reframe. If you're constantly reframing your relationship to your past, present, and future, then you're going to be very flexible in the present.” - Benjamin Hardy
