The Secret To Enjoying Dating: A Flashba...

Yue Xu and Julie Krafchick
About this episode

Our BIG ANNOUNCEMENT is here....along with a flashback to one of the most positive guests we've had on the pod. We guarantee you'll feel more hopeful and optimistic after hearing Meredith's story about how she's been able to actually enjoy dating in her 30's and thrive being single – even after a brutal breakup that involved infidelity. We discuss how detrimental breakups can be the catalyst for growth, how to actually enjoy the process of dating (even on the apps), and why personal growth is the most important gift you can give yourself while dating.

Trigger Warning: We discuss infidelity
