She had to do the hard thing and call it off. Emmy is my youngest guest. She's 27 years old. I chose to have Emmy on the show because she made such a brave choice at a young age. I'm really impressed by the self-awareness Emmy shows in her social media videos @whosonmyroster. Emmy also started the platform called Roster, a personal dating journal. It's so cool!  Send in your dating dilemmas & questions to [email protected] or through social media direct messages to have Elisa and a guest share their response on a future episode.
