On this episode, we had a conversation with former star from The Bachelor, Thomas Malucelli.

Thomas used himself as a case study to illustrate how he turned himself around, now becoming a man he's proud of and open to love. We delved into topics such as relationship attachment styles, modern dating, love languages, and all that stuff. It was a very insightful conversation, and we hope you all enjoy listening.
