Summary
In this special edition of the show, which also marks the one-year anniversary, Natalie introduces the new offshoot, Why Did We Break Up?, where she explores one breakup in depth and answers the question of why they broke up. This episode features Yasmine and Russell, two thirty-somethings who 'met' online and arranged to meet up really quickly, only for her to be very turned off by what she saw. Despite her awkwardness and making her excuses, she agreed to keep their arrangement to meet up the following day as she felt a mix of pity and curiosity. Two months of 'friendly' meetups and they slept together, and BOOM, it was the beginning of the end. The Instagram of me recording in the closet: https://instagram.com/p/BJSXemDhNfA

| 1:32.3 | know that is that whole, that age-old sort of saying about |
| 1:37.2 | don't let perfect be the enemy of the good. |
| 1:40.6 | So here we are, a year down the road and it's been a blast and I have heard from so many people around the world who say that they never miss an episode and that they actually listen to the baggage reclaim sessions to help them get to sleep so for some reason they find my voice very soothing so yeah thank you to all of those of you who do that and who almost treats the sessions like meditation you know and also a way just to really connect into your core self to your most authentic self. |
