Why we’re here

Our mission is to help people build the skills to love well and create stronger, more satisfying relationships.

Skills we didn’t learn in school.

Most of us assume we’ll just know how to successfully navigate our relationships—that doing so, is somehow obvious, or innate.

But think about it: where do we go to learn how to date, how to be a loving partner, or how to communicate our needs, especially if no one in our lives modelled these behaviours?

The truth is, relational skills are learned skills. Most of us entered adulthood with stories about love, but very little practical wisdom. The good news? Anyone can learn how to love better.

What is relational literacy?

Relational literacy is the lifelong practice of learning how to love well through awareness, communication, courageous choices, and conscious action. It helps us build stronger relationships with ourselves, our partners, our families, our friends, and our wider communities. Because love is not just something that happens to us. It’s something we can learn and practice.

ABOUT US

Real Love Ready is for anyone who wants to level up their relational literacy.

We bring you insights about love and relationships from global experts and curate joyful learning experiences to support your growth. Through practical tools, thoughtful conversations, and one-of-a-kind events, we help you build the skills to love well and create stronger connections.

We collaborate with the most trusted names in love.

You’ll learn from the experts you already follow and fresh faces you’ll want to add to your list. From Gabor Maté on trauma & healing to Esther Perel on sex & intimacy and Drs. John and Julie Gottman on marriage & family dynamics, we’re all about having the real conversations that get to the heart of what makes relationships joyful, challenging, and fulfilling.

FROM our FOUNDER

Because love changes everything.

My vision for RLR was to create a joyful space where we could come together as learners and  build the skills that help us build stronger, more meaningful connections—not only in our intimate relationships, but in all of our relationships. 

To nurture that growth, I knew we’d have to learn from the best teachers we could find. That’s why we bring you learning from the best in the business—world-class psychologists, therapists, and relationship coaches—who can help us deepen our connections and tackle the inner work to know ourselves better. 

In my former life as a professional matchmaker and love coach, I saw that when love worked, it really could change everything. And it’s the reason we’re here.
