Jacinta Parsons: I'd been to paradise but I'd never been to me!Author and ABC personality Jacinta Parsons came out of a very long-term relationship a few years ago and swore off dating. Then she met a bloke in an airport lounge and now they're loving each other sick, mate! Jacinta's dating story is like a rom-com that wrote itself. We talk about this, her INCREDIBLE NEW BOOK and, we take a brilliant listener call about being taken advantage of (to put it mildly) in an awful se*ual liason. Some if it is hard stuff, but so moving and relevant. I know you will love this episode - it has lots of laughs and tears.
