Finally, A Pod!

I went through a breakup that was so painful, I sometimes thought I’d actually never feel good again. Listening to Amy (I also read her book – ah, several times) gave me such a different perspective on myself and how to get out of my rut and not text my ex. I wish I could make every woman going through a breakup listen to this!!!!!!
