I’m joined by the anonymous founder of @couplesconfessional, an online safe space for relationships, dating, and singles to share stories, ask questions and start related conversations with other followers – anonymously. We discuss what led her to start Couples Confessional, the benefits of getting advice from strangers, what people are struggling with the most in modern dating, and the most relatable and memorable confessions.
