Customer Reviews
Terrific Divorce Social listen with Arabella Weir
So insightful. Great contrast between Weir’s observations on her own life and the life so much of society still expects us to want. Thank you both.
Diverse and interesting stories
Loved the latest episode with listener Lucy!
I related to this one a lot, especially in finding the podcast as a source of support. It’s a very open and helpful conversation.
It’s great to hear so much diversity in the stories - many people with different backgrounds and upbringings which helps to educate about all the nuances of divorce.
Thank you Sam!
Love it well done Samantha
Really enjoying the listener’s viewpoint, especially Elaine’s, can relate it to it, in so many ways…just goes to show I am not on my own.
