In our late twenties Andrea and I had very different visions for our joint business venture which led to a resentful professional and sadly a personal split. When we stopped being friends in 2012 she was with the person that led to one of the darkest times in her life. Then when we reunited six years later I was living with Jared and she was starting to date Felix whom she married this past October. And what we found is that we had so much compassion for each other which is a word you should remember from our episode open relationship we're cheating. Compersion is a word that seems to be exclusive to the polyamory community and it's described as taking joy in your another person's joy.
Does dating in your twenties have to be trash? Or are people in their twenties just trash? In this episode, Shan brings on Andrea Desiree Lewis, her ex-business partner from the early “Those Girls Are Wild” YouTube days. Shan and Andrea dish on their worst moments from dating in their 20s and how it actually made them better partners today.
