Seeing Other People

Carly Silverman is back on the pod to help me answer listener questions! We talk about why we're so frustrated by influencers making grand statements about how much sex you should be having, why we always question “what’s wrong with me,” how we get so in our heads and make wrongful assumptions, accepting that not everyone is going to like you, how to stay positive when you keep losing hope from the dating world, and more.Follow Carly @carlyrsilverman on tiktok and @carlysilverman on Instagram!
