Since we’re home, and have time to work on ourselves, we’ve been taking a deeper dive into the people Jen has had FaceTime dates with, as well as the other profiles floating around the dating apps. We’re noticing a lot of guys recently got out of relationships and right onto the apps so in an effort to work out our own baggage we’ve got author, speaker and performer Zara Barrie in to discuss how her book Girl, Stop Passing Out in Your Makeup: The Bad Girl's Guide to Getting Your Sh*t Together to discuss the inspiration for her book, why passing out in your makeup has nothing to do with washing your face, how to recognize when it’s time to get your life back in order, why rebounds actually teach you a lot, how to view breakups as breakthroughs, whether Zara thinks COVID is causing a break up epidemic, why a case of the “fuck-its” can help you find the power of heartbreak, what it means to be codependent and how to shift an imbalance if you are headed in that direction, whether we should wait to have sex and why it’s different if you’re a women, what the lesbian U-Haul theory is and how not to avoid moving into a relationship too fast, the slow burn vs. the rapid-fire romance, and how to know when it’s time to cut the cord.
