This week we answer a listener question about how and when to try taking things slow in relationships. Join Julie, Jeff and Gina to think through the things you need to think about when you're excited about someone new.
This episode covers:
- What is the difference between leaning in and diving in?
- What to do when you feel like you can't control yourself?
- Is it okay to be together every day?
