Summary
Buckle up besties, because we’re removing the love goggles, dry-heaving over mixed signals, and finally realizing your soulmate is not the guy who ghosted you after “accidentally” falling into another woman’s vagina. Oopsies.
In today’s spicy little episode, ’m diving into the chapter that should be tattooed on every situationship survivor's forehead: Let Them Show You Who They Are from Mel Robbins’ book The Let Them Theory. This episode is for anyone confused, delusional, freshly dumped, or just in need of a no-bullsh*t reminder that love shouldn’t feel like a cryptic puzzle from a 2009 Tumblr post. If they wanted to, they would—and if they didn’t, they won’t. Period.
Subscribe now before I show up at your house and start reading this chapter out loud in a Russian accent until you cry and heal!!! AHHHHHHHH LOVE YOU <3

| 0:53.4 | about her and her sister which made me realize realize that, oh shit, these things do happen. It's not that far-fetched. |
| 0:59.8 | I feel like normally when people tell me stories about their lives, I'm kind of like that 50-year-old who's a Scorpio and White Lotus that I just gnaw my head and I just go, yeah, yeah, well, okay. |

| 1:25.7 | So my friend, let's call her Kelly, she was planning on |
| 1:28.4 | breaking up with her boyfriend that she was living with at the time. This is years ago. Her sister |
