Soulmates: The World's Worst Love Advice | Brittany Smale | TEDxMcMasterU

The notion of soulmates has been perpetuated in our society long before we first started to consider finding one for ourselves. It’s an inescapable premise, colouring the fanfare of dating advertisements and TV shows everywhere around us.

Brittany Smale tells us why it’s about time to stop saying, “It just wasn’t meant to be,” once and for all.
