Discovering Safety and Joy in Relationships

In this episode of the Love Stories podcast, I had the immense pleasure of speaking with Afi, a remarkable woman whose journey is both inspiring and heartwarming. Born in West Africa and raised in London, Afi is a digital creator dedicated to educating and inspiring others living with type 1 diabetes. She also runs her own styling consulting business, Afi Like Taffy, where she empowers clients to dress for their higher selves.

Throughout the episode, Afi's journey serves as a powerful reminder that love is not only possible but can also flourish despite the obstacles we face. Her story is a testament to resilience, hope, and the belief that great love is available to all of us. As we wrapped up our conversation, I encouraged listeners to stay tuned for the tip of the week, where we discussed practical ways to cultivate love and connection in their own lives.
