The Adversity Advantage with Doug Bopst


Dec 29, 2022

Today's guest is Sara Kuburic. Sara is an existential psychotherapist and many of you know her as @millennial.therapist on Instagram and this is her third time on the podcast. Sara is also a writer as well as a columnist for USA Today. I know I've said this before, but what I love about Sara’s content is that she takes complex issues that can be hard to talk about such as mental health, relationships, and dating and creates content around these topics that's easy for people to understand and digest. I think you're really gonna appreciate this episode as we kept it super organic and we covered a lot of ground on dating, relationships and so much more.
