Love is not just a feeling, it is a skill you can build
In short: Katie Hood explores why the way we love is often a learned behavior rather than a simple instinct. This talk identifies the red flags of unhealthy dynamics and offers practical ways to cultivate respect and joy in your closest connections.
While many view love as an uncontrollable emotion, Hood argues that the ability to love well is a skill that can be developed over time. She identifies five specific signs that a relationship—whether romantic, platonic, or familial—has become unhealthy.
The presentation moves beyond identifying problems to offer actionable habits. By focusing on daily practices of kindness and respect, individuals can transition from reactive emotional responses to intentional, healthy connection.
