In this episode, Sam reflects on that bit that all women do. You know the one! Where we go from the worst relationship of all time to finally finding our forever person, which is like some twisted 0-to-100 healing journey and rocketship from rock bottom to cloud 9?? Inspired by a lottt of DMs from her followers, many of whom seem to be going through breakups, Sam almost does the MOST annoying thing, which is repeat that tired old trope: "If you want to fall in love, you need to love yourself first." But she thinks better of it (TG), because she realized nobody knows how TF to do that. So instead of SAYING that shit, she teaches you how she did it herself. It's actually pretty good I think, and there's some very chatty realness in here. Listen to this episode if you want to learn how to love yourself (duh), if you're in a toxic situationship/relationship (dump them tho!), or if you want some good old chatty background noise for cooking dinner tonight.
