In this engaging conversation, Amanda and I discuss the complexities of dating, setting boundaries, and the differences in attitudes toward finances in relationships. Both of us share personal experiences with therapy, specifically EMDR, diving deep into how it has affected our lives and helped us grow. We also highlight the importance of vulnerability, self-awareness, and the continuous journey of discovering one's identity and values.
