Leviss invited psychologist Dr Hillary Goldsher onto the latest episode of her iHeartRadio podcast, Rachel Goes Rogue, to discuss how has she been dealing with the situation.

“And after this talk, focusing on my emotions that come up for me, like what are my own needs that I need met, and not adding an additional person into the equation, so that it is just focused on me and other people as well my friends and family and the people that are in my inner circle that are safe friends,” she shared.
