Hi there,

I’m loving the conversations we’ve been having in our AMAs. There are incredibly vulnerable questions from readers who are ready to show up for themselves and for love, and I’m seeing so many readers learning from each other.

This week, I’ve rounded up questions from our AMA’s and provided the answers here, all in one place. I’ve condensed reader questions just a bit, and this is a post chock full of answers. They include:

  • My partner was living a double life. What is one concrete step I can take now to move past the shame and begin rebuilding trust in myself and future relationships?

  • I grew up in a dysfunctional family, and I’m not sure who I am. But I know I need to leave my relationship. How can I find myself?

  • I don’t find most guys’ pictures on dating apps attractive. How can I balance attraction/chemistry with giving someone a chance?

  • How can I let go of my anger that my life didn’t turn out how I wanted?

  • I can’t stop obsessing about my ex. How can I get him off my mind?

  • My partner wants to be polyamorous. I love him, but I don’t want to open our relationship. Should I walk away?

Let’s get into the answers!
