#233 Was Your Breakup the Right Decision...

BREAK UP BESTIE
About this episode

In today's episode I'm answering the question that many of you are probably asking yourself often which is, was the breakup the right decision? This episode not only applies to those of you who are questioning your decision to end your relationship AND those of you who feel like your ex made the mistake of ending the relationship and will realize it any day now (we're all guilty of thinking that way). I also talk about how you can trust that it was the right decision and continue moving on even if you feel doubtful.
