In today's episode, I discuss my concerns going back out into the dating world as well ad my thoughts on if you should tell your friend to dump their boyfriend per some advice I saw on the internet. Lots of rambling and lots of conflicted thoughts! Enjoy!

"Your vulnerabilities are your superpower"

In this episode of OTR, I virtually sit down with Mel West, a (new) New Yorker who is exactly 10 years older than I am. I was initially a guest on her podcast, A Little Buzzed, where we discussed sharing your growing pains on a podcast! I wanted to expand on this with Mel over here OTR and we did exactly that! We discuss - moving to New York Right before the pandemic hits - navigating your career - making friends at 30 years old - being a highly sensitive person - the importance of knowing your enneagram - vulnerability and sharing your humanity! Mel gave some amazing advice in this episode and explained that life DOES in fact get better with more experience under your belt. I enjoyed getting to know Mel more and hope you all do too!

Today I sat down with future author, and my fabulous friend Sarah Whitney.

We discuss her college experience at USD, post-grad hopes to move to New York, her podcast, and the process of writing a book. Then we get into the nitty-gritty about what dating is like in San Diego and express our thoughts about the different “types” of potential suitors. This was such a fun episode, I hope you all love Sarah as much as I do!! Cheers Xx
