What If You Feel Bad For A Toxic Partner...

MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode

Empathy is a powerful emotion. 

It can be a tool: allowing you to put yourself in someone's shoes, understand their struggle, and emotionally connect to their suffering.

Join Matt and Steve to chat about leaving toxic partners, deciding on when to compromise in love, and of course, bubble baths...
