Why He Left You for Her

Differences in how men and women communicate, think and act have forged a seemingly impassable canyon between the sexes. And once a person’s heart has been broken, a play-or-get-played mentality could result in busted windows, stalking and other non-productive means of revenge; thus further expanding the great divide. Valerie empowers your audience to make sound decisions and avoid drama. Using humor and wit, she divulges secrets to understand men and build satisfying romantic relationships.
