Violet Benson
About this episode

GHOSTED IN OCTOBER? HOW FESTIVE!!


Today's Tuesday episode, Violet dives into winning a job interview, why people who hurt you pretend like you're the bad person, what to do when you've been ghosted, what it feels like, why you didn't see it coming and why it hurts so much, steps to move on, and the type of person that ghosting affects the MOST.


Violet then ends the episode with some research behind this topic, a discussion about the effects of loneliness, getting rejected, ruminating, having low self esteem, and the importance of building emotional resilience for a better quality of life.
