Dear Nora and team,
Just heard the story about the adventuress who moved to a new state w the useless bois-friend and successfully escaped that situation.

She just needs to acknowledge that she is a superstar, and go out and do whatever she wants!
I wish she were my friend, but I live in Canada.
Maybe plan to come visit.
I discovered TTFA last year while going through a really tough time and binged a ton of old episodes.

Thank you 🙏
