#45: How to Lean on Your Support System (even if you feel like you don't have one)
In this episode I cover how to use your support system post break up, because let's face it- break ups are really hard to go through alone. First I cover how you might be underutilizing your support system and why- you feel like your friends don't know how to help you, you're afraid you're being a burden to them, you're afraid to be completely honest with your friends, etc. I also cover what to do if you really don't feel like you have a great support system.
