Hello Heart Reacts listeners!Sarah here, just wanted to touch base that along with much of Europe we’ll be taking August off from the podcast to deal with some life changes–good ones, we hope, that you’ll hear more about soon!--and to have a bit of a break and give you a chance to send in all your questions about chaotic polyamory, difficult parents-in-law, bad bosses, political splits, and everything in between. As always, thank you to those of you who support us on Patreon and have sent in questions thus far. You can send those to askmeanything.cc/heartreacts. We’ll be back soon, and remember, pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the feels. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
