“My Family Was So Messed Up, I Thought I’d Never Find My Person”
I'm joined by Danielle, a 31-year-old woman living in LA, who opens up about the trauma she went through due to her alcoholic father. She shares how she believed nobody would want to be with her because of what her family was like, and as a result, she closed herself off to finding love. We hear how she moved to Los Angeles to get a fresh start and how she hit rock bottom before creating a life for herself that brought her true happiness. Now, she fears that she's too fiercely independent and successful to find someone. Disrupt your anxious spirals with Presently Mindfulness Bracelets.

Can Guys and Girls Be "Just Friends?"
My friends Sammy and Glenn met as coworkers and became close “friends with nonsexual benefits.” Sammy and Glenn share how they’ve helped each other naviate dating situations by providing the perspective of the opposite gender, talking one another off the ledge when they’re spiraling, and hyping each other up IRL. We hear how they’ve grown as daters, if they’ve ever argued or disagreed on how to approach a dating situation, how they’ve found the confidence to go to singles events & more.
