Just Break Up: Relationship Advice from Your Queer Besties
Sierra DeMulder and Sam Blackwell
Sam & Sierra may not be therapists, but they will tell it to you straight (even if they aren’t). Each episode, they answer listeners’ questions with compassion, radical honesty, and all the relationship advice you don’t want—but definitely need. And no, it’s not always “just break up.” (Unless you really should!)
