2020, beginning of the new year, and of the new decade -- what an exciting moment! New beginnings happen all the time, and oftentimes they happen after something has ended. That can be really scary, and sad, but it can also be very hopeful and exciting.

In this episode, we discuss beginnings and endings, and we give you some tips on how to navigate these. We also discuss relationships, trying to change things for the better if need be, and the ending of relationships as a result.
