Summary
I'm joined by a 29-year-old woman who recently divorced her husband of five years. She shares how she and her ex-husband grew apart throughout their marriage, to a point where their lives and futures were no longer aligning. She talks us through her decision to go to therapy hoping to fix her marriage, but how her therapist helped her realize that fixing it may not have been the answer. Finally, we discuss what she's looking for now and what her experience has been like dating and using dating apps for the first time as a 29-year-old divorcée.
