What if everything we thought we knew about love was just the beginning? In this powerful episode of Beyond The Self, we revisit a conversation that changes how we see love entirely.

Claudia shares her fascinating perspective on love beyond the butterflies and romance—the kind of love that shows up when things get hard, when the initial spark fades, and when the real work begins. We explore what love truly means, the deliberate effort it requires, and the profound value it brings to our lives and the world around us.

This isn't just another conversation about relationships—it's a journey into understanding love as an active choice, a practice, and ultimately, the key to solving many of the world's deepest challenges.

Join us as we unpack:

• Why love is about what happens after the good feelings fade
• The real work that love demands from each of us
• How becoming vessels of love transforms not just ourselves, but our communities

As always, this podcast is about giving and growing. Today, we're diving deep into the most transformative gift of all: love.

Keep giving, growing, and sharing love.

In this deeply moving and insightful episode of Beyond the Self, I sit down with Pastor Richard C. Whitcomb, Lead Pastor of Agape New Testament Church and a man whose entire life has been dedicated to the service of others. From leaving the comforts of the United States to become a missionary in Nigeria, to building a thriving spiritual community in Ghana, Pastor Richard shares his powerful journey of purpose, sacrifice, and unwavering faith.

Together, we explore what it truly means to live a life of service—beyond titles, beyond recognition, and beyond self-interest. We talk about the mindset it takes to serve others wholeheartedly, the spiritual and personal costs of such a life, and the unseen yet lasting impact it creates in the lives of others. Whether you're in ministry, business, or just seeking deeper purpose, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to live with greater intention.

Reflection is one of the most underrated tools for growth. In this episode, I sit down with Jeremy—an astute speaker, traveler, and deep thinker—to explore how looking back can help us move forward with greater clarity and purpose.

We dive into the ways reflection shapes decision-making, resilience, and personal evolution. How can we extract meaningful lessons from our past without getting stuck in regret? How does self-awareness influence our future choices? And what role does reflection play in helping us live with greater intention?

This conversation is an invitation to pause, process, and gain new perspectives on your own journey. Tune in for an insightful discussion that might just change the way you see your past—and your future. 🌱✨
