In this fun-filled episode of All With Heart, hosts Ryanna Hammond and Jose “WaVE” Carranza take a break from the usual deep dives into self-reflection and relationship challenges to explore something just as vital for a healthy relationship: laughter and fun!
Ryanna and WaVE take on the Instagram trend “How I See You,” where they create a collage of nine different categories (like character, food, place, and season) that represent their partner. With no prior peek at each other’s choices, they reveal their collages on camera, leading to plenty of laughs and some sweet surprises about how they see one another.
Along the way, the couple shares awesome moments, including a heartwarming memory about WaVE teaching Ryanna a valuable lesson on respecting nature during a hike, the funny comparison of Ryanna to a not-so-attractive animal, and a hilarious slip-up where Ryanna calls the Powerpuff Girls the Powderpuff Girls.
Ryanna reflects on past relationships where playful activities like this were dismissed, and urges listeners to consider whether they’re with someone who values deeper connection in their relationship, mentioning self-questions like “Do you genuinely enjoy most of your time with your partner? Can you laugh together? Is there more good times than bad?”
For WaVE, this exercise seemed “cheesy” at first; he touches on his initial reluctance to partake because as a man he was taught that vulnerability is a weakness. The exercise became a great reminder for him that being open to the feel-good emotions and vulnerability is key to any relationship, even when it feels uncomfortable.
This episode is packed with laughs, love, and snippets of knowledge. Tune in for a reminder that laughter truly is the glue that keeps a relationship alive.
