In Episode 67 of Just Ask Her , Gracie and her mom/co-host (certified life coach Tracy) answer three listener submissions—from age preferences and family timelines, to repeated first-date rejection, to anxious spiraling between texts. You’ll learn how to separate facts from sabotaging thoughts , communicate intentions early, and stop making dating outcomes mean something about your worth. If you’re dating with the goal of a real relationship (and you’re tired of the emotional rollercoaster), this episode will help you build steadier confidence—without shutting down your feelings.
