Show Notes

It's Q&A time! We're back, answering YOUR burning questions!

You're dating a guy but can't tell if the pit in your stomach is dread or butterflies... is it your anxiety or the infamous Ick? You regret agreeing to being your childhood friend's Maid Of Honor. Is it ever OK to back out of the role? You're a devoted daughter but your dreams extend beyond your duty. Between the crushing guilt and the desire to break free, which one wins? You're a mom of two young men and worry about their dating prospects—Shandy weighs in on your worries! Finally, you're married with kids but find yourself enjoying flirty banter with a co-worker. Is a workplace crush harmless fun or playing with fire? Come join us in our living room for good conversation and the Shandy take!
