This week’s listener has gone from being with emotionally unavailable men, to working on her availability, to feeling uncomfortable when she meets guys who seem “too emotional” because they talk and share their feelings. She keeps meeting guy after guy like this and wonders what’s ‘normal’. In What I Learned This Week, Natalie is thinking about life plans and wondering if you have one, after she listened to Amy Porterfield’s business podcast (link: http://bit.ly/21mUmVs) and the interviewee Michael Hyatt’s sage advice on how we drift into chaos really resonated with her.
