🎙️ Barely Thriving Podcast | Episode 39

This week on Barely Thriving, Amy and Aseah discover they couldn't disagree more when a Barely Thriving Hotline dilemma about moving too fast in a new relationship turns into a full debate about modern dating.

Amy believes in love at first sight. Aseah thinks she's completely delusional.

The conversation quickly spirals into dating one person vs dating a roster, hopeless romantics, therapy, healing, Amy's latest Barely Thriving moment, and the pettiest things we've ever done after a relationship ended.

Expect chaotic opinions, brutally honest conversations, questionable dating takes and plenty of laughs.
