How Relational Literacy Makes Us Better Mothers | Robin Ducharme (Bonus Episode)

What if love isn’t something you simply find - but something you learn? In this episode, Diane sits down with relationship expert Robin Ducharme, author of Real Love Ready, to explore the idea that healthy, fulfilling relationships are built through something she calls “relational literacy.” Robin shares how our earliest relational patterns shape the way we show up in love, parenting, and everyday interactions - and why healing those patterns is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children. If you’ve ever felt stuck in relationship patterns or wondered how to create deeper connection in your home, this conversation offers both a hopeful reframe and practical tools to begin.Links Discussed in This Episode |Checkout the podcast storefront for recommendations from Diane.Esther PerelRobin's Resource: A Course in MiraclesConnect with Robin:WebsiteInstagramPodcast: Let's Talk LoveBook: Real Love Ready: A Guide to Relational LiteracyAbout Robin|Robin Ducharme is the founder and CEO of Real Love Ready, a company that helps people turn relationship theory into real-life skills.
