Welcome to episode 209 of the Love Live Connection podcast.

When it comes to your dating life are you feeling exhausted, triggered constantly, or attracting the same kind of person over and over?  In today’s episode, I’m interviewing Kacie Main, author of I Gave Up Men For Lent - The Story Of A Jaded, Hopelessly Romantic, Health-conscious Party Girl's Search For Meaning. Kacie was struggling with these very issues and as a result, put herself on a dating break.  We discuss the issues leading up to the break, her inner child work during the break and life after those first 40 days.  I’d love to hear what you thought of this episode.
