Seeing Other People

On this solo episode, I’m opening up about turning 30, figuring out what I want to do with my life, and a few exciting things that are happening in the next month weeks along with my never ending fears surrounding them. Later, I answer your questions about finding out someone’s political beliefs on a date, fearing that someone will not want to date you because of who you are, feeling judged about taking off from dating, keeping the momentum going when one of you goes away after a few dates, and more. Love you all – thanks for tuning in and supporting me always!
