On Chisme #8 , Kim chats with her friend Negro (Jorge Ruiz) host of  A lo Oscuro Podcast, about being "Ghosted". We explore the possibility of turning this phenomenon into something positive . Let's be real, being ghosted sucks. That feeling of uncertainty and confusion sucks but we don't have to stay in this negative place, instead, we can use this experience as a tool of growth and self- awareness.
