Welcome to On Air With HWP - The Learn to Love Podcast, presented by Halton Women’s Place, where we discuss the relationships we have with each other and with ourselves. Listen as we take a deep dive into all sorts of relationships and what it takes to keep them healthy. We will chat about the skills needed to build flourishing relationships, discuss the complexities of friendships, we’ll look inward to the relationship we have with ourselves, get a better understanding of dating red flags, learn how we can all take steps to end gender-based violence and bullying, and so much more. Join us, and let’s Learn to Love!
Learn to Love is a Public Education Program presented by Halton Women’s Place. Our educators visit classrooms from Grades 1-12 to discuss important topics surrounding relationships, including consent, dating violence, bullying, and media and gender stereotypes. We truly believe we can’t end violence against women without educating our children and youth. Learn more at haltonwomensplace.com/support-learn-to-love/

Teen Love: 5 Unrealistic Relationship Expectations from Romantic Movies
Love at First Sight, They Complete You!...You Can Change Them?...Happily Ever After....the "GRAND" Gesture! We're breaking down the biggest romantic movie tropes you may be unknowingly buying into! Our romantic expectations can be sky high and out of touch. We can focus on and give value to the wrong things- "Why isn’t my partner getting me flowers, publicly declaring their love for me, or buying me lavish gifts?".
We need to separate what’s realistic from what’s unrealistic, and distinguish between what you’ve been told “should” matter, from what actually does matter! No relationship is perfect, but resisting the influence of romantic comedies will enable you to create happier moments, and appreciate your relationship a lot more. It's key because happiness comes from pursuing what makes you happy, not pursuing what media or anyone else says you should.
