Real Love Ready: A Conversation with Robin Ducharme & Monique Gray Smith
Listen on:
In this intimate conversation, Robin sits down with best-selling author, friend, and teacher Monique Gray Smith to talk about her forthcoming book, Real Love Ready: A Guide to Relational Literacy. Together, they explore the heart behind the book, the stories that shaped it, and what relational literacy really means in our lives and relationships.
Robin reflects on the journey of writing her first book and how years of learning from leading relationship experts, therapists, and teachers gradually became something deeply personal. What began as a desire to distill relationship advice and love lessons evolved into a book rooted in lived experience, healing, and the belief that we can all learn to love better.
Together, Robin and Monique explore what it means to love wide, how our past shapes the way we relate, and why forgiveness, vulnerability, and self-awareness are essential to building healthier, more loving relationships. They also reflect on healing, grief, authenticity, and the transformative power of choosing to live with more intention and love in every area of life.
If you’re curious about the story behind Real Love Ready, or you’re longing for a deeper conversation about love, healing, and relationships, this special episode is for you.
