Fire up your phone, it's an app episode! We're talking about getting on the apps (the energy to put out and headspace to be in when you're looking for someone, getting back out there after a breakup and the type of people to look for) and getting OFF the apps (when to pause or delete your account, talking to someone you're dating about their app status, and more).
