You’re not single because you’re broken—maybe you’re just asking the wrong questions.
In this deeply personal and hilariously honest solo episode, I share 30 questions you need to ask yourself if you’re serious about finding real love—not the situationship, not the trauma-bond, not the 2-week high followed by ghosting. We're talking love that lasts.
I also open up for the first time about being deaf—how it’s made me feel small, different, and deeply afraid of being pitied… and how I moved past it.
This is the episode where we stop waiting to be "healed enough" for love—and finally figure out what we actually want and deserve.
Tune in if:
Listen ‘til the end for the story that might just change how you see yourself—and love—forever.
