Summary
<p>This week on Boy Problems, Liz sits down for an emergency debrief on a raw, still stinging, gut-punch of a disappointment - and she's not waiting for the dust to settle to talk about it. Armed with an emotional support croissant and a dog-eared book of David Whyte poetry, Liz turns fresh rejection into a completely unhinged (and deeply necessary) guide for how to feel the thing without letting it hold you back. </p><p>Feeling disappointed is not a sign you did something wrong. It's a receipt for your courage. </p><p>This episode is for anyone in their 48-hour window right now. Do not make your life smaller. We love you. </p><p><br /></p><p>Submit your boy problems <a href="https://form.typeform.com/to/qqPLRHyP">here</a>! </p><p><br /></p><p>Check out <a href="https://lizplank.substack.com/subscribe?utm_source=menu&simple=true&next=https%3A%2F%2Flizplank.substack.com%2F">Airplane Mode with Liz Plank on Substack</a>! </p><p><br /></p><p>Liz Plank is an award-winning journalist, filmmaker, international bestselling author, and producer of several critically acclaimed digital series at Vox Media and NBC News.
