Summary
Hello, all! Hope your week has been phenomenal. I appreciate you all! In this episode, I tackle the following questions:
- I was recently ghosted after talking to someone I met on a dating app for a few weeks. Why is it affecting me so much and what can I do about it?
- How can I get over my exercise-induced anxiety and heart palpatations?
