Summary
On this Unfiltered, I'm joined by a woman who opens up about ending an eight-year relationship, during which, she felt like nothing was wrong but she wasn't truly happy. We discuss what finally led her to end the relationship and what it was like being single for the first time at 27. We discuss navigating career changes, solo traveling, and how she came to the realization that the traditional setup of relationships might not be suited for her.
