Summary
I’m joined by writer, producer, actress & model, Emily Ruhl. We discuss sharing your fears and anxieties with the people you’re dating, learning from each heartbreak, loving and hating someone at the same time, and how the length of a relationship does not equal the emotional impact of the relationship. Emily shares her experience dating after addiction, being friends with multiple exes, and how she prioritizes maintaining her independence when in relationships. Check out Emily’s short film Blue Moon here or at publicschoolpictures.com.

| 0:07.9 | Hey guys, it's Lana and welcome back for another episode of seeing other people. |
| 0:12.5 | Today is such a great episode. |
| 0:15.8 | This is one for anyone who has experienced heartbreak that they have turned into something beautiful or anyone |
| 0:26.1 | who's going through a tough breakup right now and needs hope, needs a sign that they're going |
| 0:33.9 | to be okay, that their person is out there. This is also for anyone who has |
| 0:39.0 | tried to be friends with an ex. And it's for anyone who has things that they want to |

| 1:46.2 | have to be a certain way or we have to kind of show a certain part of ourselves off, especially |
| 1:52.1 | when we date. And there's so much power in just being yourself and being who you are. And |
