Dear Media
About this episode

We are joined by author/podcaster/former pro athlete Lewis Howes to discuss trauma when it comes to dating, therapy, sex, and more. We dive into why we attract people with trauma, being on a healing journey while you’re dating, the difference between coaching your partner and empowering them, the role of therapy in a relationship, holding off on sex when you first start dating someone, the problem with men not opening up, and the three things you need to know about someone before you enter into a relationship with them. Before Lewis join us, we’re discussing the #1 rule of car shopping as a woman, the evolution of girls trips over time, and (another) LA move update. Enjoy!
