Life Advice | I had an affair with my boss, My friend has become a soggy lemon + More
Summary
Host Dem answers three listener questions on relationships and personal growth. She advises a woman to cut off her married boss and quit her job to heal from a toxic affair, emphasizing that his behavior reflects his character, not her worth. For a friend struggling with a distant friendship after pregnancy, she suggests having a candid conversation to determine if the bond is worth salvaging. Finally, she encourages a listener who left a friend group abruptly to trust their accepted apologies and focus on personal growth rather than fearing rejection.
