Raw Talk with Natalie Barbu | Getting Over Insecurities, Being Honest vs. "Playing Games", and Impact of Social Media on a Relationship

#216: On this raw talk segment, Emily brings back Natalie Barbu, Founder & CEO of Rella and YouTube creator, to the podcast. Instead of diving into similar topics like past conversations, such as entrepreneurial journeys and building their businesses, Natalie and Emily sit down to have an open chat (just like they usually do at dinner) about their current thoughts on dating, relationships, friendships, and much more.

Topics discussed:

• How to recognize when you're self-sabotaging and creating stories in your head about something that isn't true
• Removing jealousy from relationships
• The grief of losing a best friend and partner after a relationship
• How to be open and honest in the dating phase without playing games
• Whether Natalie and Emily think if a guy "likes other girls' photos" on social media matters
• Respectfully telling a guy when you're not interested instead of "ghosting"
• Overcoming past hurt, such as cheating in former relationship
• How to make the "first move" as a woman, while also maintaining the standard of having the guy court you and "pursue" his interest in you
