Honestly 10/10
So much love from Australia
Going through a separation / divorce myself recently I found myself searching high and low for other women’s stories and support in the form of similar situations so that I could feel “normal”. This podcast is incredible. Love these two ladies and every episode is brilliant! Thank you so much for the comfort, tears and knowing that its ok if things don’t work out as we planned.
Loved finding these two ladies, they are so relatable to my current life! They make me laugh, cry and it’s inspirational to keep going. Thank you ladies!!!
