Summary

On today’s episode, I virtually sit down with author and therapist Lori Gottlieb. We discuss the reason people are struggling to find a partner, if men have to make the same concessions as women, I explain to Lori what the “ick” is, what qualities make a man good enough, how much a person’s family matters, why mysteriousness is not a good quality, and more. This episode starts with a solo where I discuss my Taylor Swift eras tour experience.
