In this deeply reflective episode, Svagito Liebermeister explores what love truly is — beyond need, dependency, or romantic projection. He shares insights into how love arises from our inner being, and how we can meet others from a place of fullness rather than expectation. But he also addresses the importance of owning our expectations, acknowledging our needs and the value the other has for us. Together with host Candra Karlholm, they speak about the difference between real love and wanting to be loved, how trauma affects our capacity to relate, and why presence and meditation are key in cultivating connection. Drawing from decades of work in family constellation, trauma healing, and spiritual growth, Svagito reminds us that love is not something we “do,” but something we become present to — when we are not driven by lack or fear. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, this conversation is an invitation to meet love as a state of being. Topics touched on:– What love is – and what it is not – The implications of expectation  – Intimate relationship as an opportunity to learn about love and grow our capacity – The difference between love between a parent and child and love between partners – but how they sometimes get mixed up – The role of meditation and healing – Love as presence, not as transaction   — Want to go deeper?
