Summary
Did you know that three days before Natalie met Em, she broke it off with a guy that she'd been dating for three weeks? She would have finished it sooner had she not doubted herself and listened to well-meaning friends who told her that she was being "hasty" and "picky". In this episode, Natalie talks about why loved ones give bad advice and why we don't have to go along with it to spare their feelings.
