Joey Garcia

No it's not what you think. Love, that is. The luminous & wise Joey Garcia visits us to explain why.

Poets, Philosophers, and Psychologists speak of love but too often their definitions creep towards the giddy realm of infatuation, or dip into the troublesome arena of codependency.

Why is it difficult to talk about love? What is love really—a feeling, an emotion, a belief, certain behaviors? A tennis score?

Joey will unpack and disect the stories society tells us and why, before considering a fresh perspective with the power to change relationships for good.

Joey Garcia is an author and professional speaker, and hosts an advice column for Sacramento News & Review. Born in Belize and raised in the U.S., she lives in Sacramento. She has presented to AOF before, and we are proud to have her back. For more about Joey visit her website joeygarcia.com
