This week on Little Miss, I’m making a list of my accomplishments — and they range from very niche to genuinely life-changing.

On this episode of  Little Miss , I talk about  perspective after a breakup  — being dumped over a text message after 7 months of dating, the red flags I wish I had noticed sooner when I was in that relationship, and how having an avoidant attachment doesn't give you a reason to be a cruel person.
