Summary
This week on Boy Problems, Liz sits down for an emergency debrief on a raw, still stinging, gut-punch of a disappointment - and she's not waiting for the dust to settle to talk about it. Armed with an emotional support croissant and a dog-eared book of David Whyte poetry, Liz turns fresh rejection into a completely unhinged (and deeply necessary) guide for how to feel the thing without letting it hold you back. Feeling disappointed is not a sign you did something wrong. It's a receipt for your courage. This episode is for anyone in their 48-hour window right now. Do not make your life smaller. We love you.
