QUICKIE: Ghosting...the original bad boy. Everyone has a ghosting story and most people have been on both sides of the equation. Ghosting refers to the disappearing act people pull when they want to leave a relationship or potential relationship. If a breakup wasn’t bad enough, Ghosting takes it to new levels as it gives absolutely no explanation, follow up, or point of further communication. Today we've got Amanda Blair here to break down all the ins, outs, energetics and tips for ghosting. We also cover the Science of Ghosting — yes, this has been a scientifically researched topic! I remember when I was going through a recent ghosting experience and wondered how to handle it with “grace”. This episode is the answer I wish I had during that time.
