Summary

Ali & Roark have an emotional discussion this week as they tackle grief in dating. As always, they start the episode with their own dating updates and delve into a canine-related “weird or nah.” The conversation about grief begins at around 25:30, and given that this can be a difficult topic, they both understand if this is an episode you’d prefer to skip. During “Topic Talk,” Ali opens up about her own personal journey since her dad’s death in 2018. She shares what it is like to talk to a new partner about it and how she’s come to understand new needs and boundaries. Roark talks about being on the receiving end of that kind of disclosure and they both discuss how to best support those going through grief. If you want to send in a "weird or nah" suggestion, share your own phone throwing moment, ask a question, or have general feedback, you can do it all at www.findingmrheight.com/podcast Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

So, yes, I have many an update. Hit me. I'm very tired right now. I'm just going to put that out there. Not entirely because of like social life, but just because like my brain power is very tired with like studying in life. Yeah. To, you know, just follow up on things that were, um, that I think the loop is not

for Sunday. There is zero chance that this man is a planner. Definitely not. And also, like, way to set sort of like

1:47.3

the false expectation. Like, I didn't need a plan that night. Like, give me one on Friday night,
