In this episode of Dating Yapps, my amazing guest Julie gets real about her rollercoaster of a dating journey. We’re diving deep into the messy, beautiful complexities of love, heartbreak, and the emotional baggage we sometimes have to unpack along the way. Julie opens up about navigating a relationship with a guy who wasn’t exactly forthcoming about some pretty big parts of his life (yikes, right?).
We’re chatting about the lessons she learned, why being true to yourself is non-negotiable, and the danger of falling into the trap of being the ‘chill girl’—because, spoiler alert, suppressing your feelings isn’t cute! This one’s honest, juicy, and full of wisdom you’ll want to carry into your own dating adventures
