Are setbacks inevitable while dating? We think so – and it's more about how you handle them to move forward. We're joined today with setback expert Amy Shoenthal to take us through the setback cycle to navigate everything from breakups, rejection, thinking you met “the one” only to realize it wasn’t, and everything in between. We're discussing what constitutes as a setback, how they can actually be a force to bring you in the right direction, and why setbacks can help you if you let them.Related Episodes:Moving Forward After A BreakupHow to Have A Healthy RelationshipFollow us @dateablepodcast, @juliekrafchick and @nonplatonic.
