In today's episode, Beth sits down with Julie Krafchick and Yue Xu, the dynamic duo behind the Dateable Podcast, to dive into the modern dating world. They tackle the big question: Is modern dating truly broken, or are we navigating new paths to love? Together, they share insights, strategies, and personal stories to help listeners thrive in the ever-evolving dating landscape.
