BREAK UP BESTIE
About this episode

This episode was a request from a woman in my private Facebook group asking the question, "how do I get over a break up when my relationship was my entire life?" This is something SO many women go through and it makes going through a break up THAT much harder. In this episode I go over specific tips to help you reclaim your sense of self and independence and I share my story with going through this situation.
