Dear Shandy

Are you waiting for The One to finally begin living your life? Or are you in a partnership so comfy you've lost sight of your own individuality? Today we're joined by John Kim, aka The Angry Therapist, to discuss how singledom is more opportunity than pitfall.

John Kim is a licensed marriage and family therapist, life coach, best-selling author, and host of The Angry Therapist podcast. His latest book, Single. On Purpose. helps you prioritize your relationship with yourself, with or without a partner, and is available now.

It's Love Fest time! 🎉 Today we're joined by one of Sharleen's closest Bachelor Nation friends, Jacqueline Trumbull, and her fiancé Paul Seli!

You may remember Jacqueline from Arie's season, where she, like Sharleen, withdrew in Week 7. She and Paul are both in psychology (Jacqueline is a PhD student at Duke University, where Paul is a professor of Psychology and Neuroscience), so needless to say, there's fun analysis of relationship dynamics in today's conversation. We learn how Paul overcame jealousy in the early stages, how their psychology backgrounds play a role in their relationship, and their thoughts on The One. Finally, a real nail-biter of a Dear Shandy Newlyweds Game! Who knows who better? Watch on to find out!

It's Caller Day! Today we're joined by TWO lovely callers. Our first caller, Lisa, is in the very early stages of dating a guy who seems accompanied by red flags. Should she end things before she gets invested, or is it too soon to throw away the first "butterflies" she's felt in awhile? Our second caller, Danielle, is an introvert in a relationship with a full-blown extrovert, and she feels their differences in this regard could be causing a red flag. Should she attempt change her ways or does this speak to a deeper problem? Watch on for the Shandy take!

In keeping with tradition, we're doing something a little different to ring in the New Year. This topic has been requested for awhile now, so today, inspired by Episode 1 (How We Met) and Episode 21 (Our Proposal Story), we're doing another throwback! We're going back in time to January 2015 thru September 2017, to what happened after Andy proposed. Listen on to hear why we waited 2.5 years for a wedding, what expenses got out of hand, how "influencer"-dom played a role, "The Moment" that made it all worthwhile, and in retrospect, what we would have done differently!
