Welcome to our last episode of 2019! 

In this episode, we offered a response to a LILAP listener's question about how to have a healthy long-distance relationship, one where you're not clinging even though the person is far away. We shared a few really important strategies for healthy relationships in this episode that are helpful whether you're in an LDR or not.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from us. We're thankful for each of you and we're looking forward to sharing new episodes in 2020.
