BREAK UP BESTIE
About this episode

I talk a lot in this podcast about practicing the no contact rule but I wanted to do an episode on what to do IF you do hear from your ex and how to handle it. I go through when to respond, when not to respond, how to set proper boundaries, what it "means" if you hear from them, and more!
