## Resource

Cathrine Phiri drops hard truths on love in her new book, arguing that while meeting the right person might be destiny, choosing to love is entirely up to us. Through her own journey—from rural roots to city hustle, even working as a domestic worker to care for family—she reveals how relationships can heal and rebuild trust after pain. She challenges societal conditioning, especially for women, to accept unhealthy dynamics, urging us to unlearn old scripts and redefine love as honesty, faithfulness, and putting your partner’s needs first. And yes, there’s no magic timeline for finding “the one”—you’ll know when you’ve found them, even if you’re too tired to admit it.
