Episode 29. Galentine's Day, Rom-Coms, & Pop Culture's Best (and Worst) Love Stories

Love is in the air… or is it? In this special Galentine's Day edition of Inside the Design Studio, I'm joined by Leisa Holland-Nelson Bowman and Shavonnah Roberts Schreiber for a no-holds-barred conversation about Valentine's Day—romantic, cynical, and everything in between. From pop culture's best (and worst) love stories to the joy of Galentine's, Hallmark movies, bad date-watching at Steak 48, and even a new business venture that might make us blush, this episode is full of laughter, wisdom, and a few spicy surprises.

So grab your heart-shaped candy (or a stiff drink) and settle in for a conversation about love, friendship, and the moments that take our breath away—or leave us running for the exits.
