How To Get Over Someone You Can't Get Ov...

Yalla! Let's Talk.
About this episode

Bestselling author Najwa Zebian joins me to share her wisdom on healing and how to get over someone you STILL can't get over.In this episode, we tackle some of the most common yet confusing questions that come up when you’re trying to move on from someone — or even just figure out where you stand. Is it okay to still miss someone from your past? Should you text your ex, or is that just a bad idea? What happens when you find yourself stuck, missing someone you never really dated in the first place? We’ll also dive into the tricky territory of dating before you’re completely over someone, and when exactly it’s the right time to talk about exes with someone new.
