Summary
TW: This episode may be triggering to those with sensitivities around sexual abuse.
Fresh off a blindsided breakup, Amy Richman dives right back into dating while processing what happened. We debate the idea of soulmates, whether “right person, wrong time” is real, and what romance in relationships truly looks like. She also opens up about how a difficult first sexual experience affected her for years — and how she finally learned to overcome the social anxiety tied to it and love and respect her body.
