About this episode
Hey y'all! On Season 3 of Love Origins, we are talking to authors and cultural commentators involved in the sharing of fictional love stories and exploring how fictional stories impact our perspectives on real life love stories and vice versa.
This episode features Dara Alston, author and leading Hallmark commentator. We explore how fictional love stories impact real relationships, Dara's journey from Hallmark fan to Fan Leader, and her self-discovery through writing. Our conversation covers her transformative college experiences, the role of faith in her life, and why diverse storytelling matters—especially on Hallmark.
