Ep45~ It's Not You, It's MeThis episode is all about a fact of life... rejection.To begin, I discuss how the end of a significant relationship or marriage can feel like the ultimate rejection. Sometimes these relationships end due to infidelity, growing apart, or choosing a vice over the relationship.
