Der Zauber des Verliebens | SWR Nachtcafé

It used to be incredibly important. And that is also responsible for this... fall, so to speak. Yes, and for me it's just this lack of understanding that this love so... so incredibly... deep didn't make it, that we made it. That was a really difficult point for me. But then, as I said, I got to a point where I decided very clearly, as you just said, that I didn't want to stay in this phase of this pile of ashes, but I wanted to spread my wings again very carefully. . And it was... The phoenix really became the symbol of my life during that time. - Hmm.

And I took many, many small steps and learned a lot about myself. I also did a lot of research on the topic, what made me strong before, what made me so successful, so happy? What are the resources I can use? And what are the topics I need to learn? How to accept vulnerability or ask for help. They were topics that I didn't know. I really had to learn that. They took small steps... Very small. .. then also a bigger one, it must be said. At some point you had contacted men again through dating portals, but at some point you met a man who was a special man.

Talk about him. Well, I admit it openly, it was on Tinder. Of course, we were also in a phase where, after Corona, relatively few physical meetings were possible. There were no parties, no beer gardens, nothing. And it wasn't what I needed either. But then I started to... slowly look around again and also took in a lot of... um... conscious things. So the topic of mindfulness has become a very important topic for me. So I thought, where would you like to live? How do you want to live? And I did not look around me, but deliberately at the mountains. - Hmm.

I am someone, I have lived in six different countries, the international has always been part of my life, of my being. And then I looked in the Alps, in the alpine region. And I met a... wonderful American-Austrian pilot. And to be able to build a love with him that is much... stronger and more powerful because it is at a level... at eye level. Because she is... completely aware of both sides. Because we talk about issues very intensely, because we have many values ​​that are the same. And because he sees me in...every aspect too...and I feel so seen and held there.

That's... a great gift. Excellent! (Applause) Love should always make you better than you already are. Just say it, I don't have it now... I was just saying, love always has to make you better than you already are. Correct. - What is the magic of falling in love? I think the magic is that... we have it within us to be able to open up and allow this love. Mr. Lippert, what is the magic of falling in love? I think there's also this synchronicity that you suddenly notice... between them, and that's somehow unique. - Hmm. What is the magic of falling in love? - Be honest with each other.

That too. - Oh yeah. "The magic of falling in love", thank you very much to all our guests. Yes. Thank you very much, exactly! (Applause) See you again in a week. Then again with the theme: “The summer that was different.” See you next Friday at your “night coffee.” Thanks again to everyone. Also to you. Thank you. (Music in motion) SWR 2023
