152: The (18!) Modern Love Languages with Anne Hodder-Shipp

Maybe you've heard about the Five Love Languages, but maybe they've at times felt...kind of limiting? Confusing? Problematic, even? 

There's a reason for that, and you're not alone. That's why Anne Hodder-Shipp decided to reimagine some things: 

• What "The Modern Love Languages" are and how they're different than what we might already be familiar with (it's not just that there are 18 of them!)
• How you can apply The Modern Love Languages in your life way beyond your romantic relationships
• Whether or not it's important to find people whose love languages "match" your own
• The origins of the "original" Five Love Languages and why they might be more harmful than helpful
• Taking sex and relationship education onto social media in the 2020s
• ...and more!
