In this episode I banter about the best reasons to part with tango, but also about what is NOT a good reason to leave and scenarios when you should keep at it even though it sucks.

In this episode I reveal my most effective strategies for navigating these big events and getting the tango that you really want.

In this episode I share some of my thoughts about the two events, which I prefer and why.
