Welcome to the Girl On Top, Shallon Exo Podcast. I'm your host, Shallon Lester, and you

might know me from my YouTube channel, where I analyze several relationships and scandals

for lessons we can take into our own lives. But here on the podcast, I answer the best

questions you submitted over the past week. Got a love quandary? Head to my website, shallonlester.com
