We're back from our seasonal break with a whole new set of episodes! Today's episode is all about relationship happiness and how to know whether you're with the right person. We talk about staying in relationships too long, what questions to ask yourself, and why it's worth the short term pain to end a relationship that isn't right for you. 

Also, an announcement: Elle is heading to Barcelona in a few months for the very first Mend retreat! For more info, visit letsmend.com/away.

If you're a fan of LILAP, we have a special request to take two seconds right now and leave us a 5-star review so that more people can find our podcast.
