Sherry and Carla start the show by talking about what they like to do for exercise, and the beauty of just getting outside and going for a walk. They take a Love Fix question from a listener who realizes they only like emotionally unavailable men, but can't seem to stop herself and turn things around. Then, they welcome Dr. Elizabeth Fedrick, a Licensed Professional Counselor, relationship expert, and multi-unit group private practice owner in Arizona. She is trained in various therapeutic modalities and specializes in relationships, intimacy, trauma, depression, and anxiety. In addition, she hosts a relationship-based podcast, Relatable Relationships Unfiltered.
