So you're single...but are you single on purpose? And why do we stop working on ourselves once we get into a relationship? You're about to find out as we dive in with the angry therapist himself, John Kim, about how he realized post-divorce that the problem lied in his sense of self. We discuss building a fulfilling life beyond just loving someone, how to really masturdate, and why it's so damn important to cultivate your relationship with yourself whether you're single or not.
