Totally relate to being the "stepping stone" person. I've even been the person who introduces a partner to their next girlfriend. Not fun in the moment but I feel like a match maker in some weird way! Hah.

Very interesting podcast! I love Frans de Waal’s book The Age of Empathy “Frans de Waal is a psychology professor at Emory University with a Ph.D. in biology. He is the author of many books, including Chimpanzee Politics, Our Inner Ape and The Age of Empathy: Nature's Lessons for a Kinder Society. The director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Atlanta, de Waal was ranked among the World’s 100 Most Influential People of 2007 by Time.”
