Awesome Podcast!

A great podcast for women! I am not married or divorced, but the jewels Lauren gives during this podcast still applies to me.

I love it, can’t wait for more episodes. I’m recommending to anybody going through a breakup, divorce, or even just a major life change.

Amazing podcast!

I’m actually a married woman and am so intrigued by the simplicity of how things can go left in a marriage. I applaud your bravery to relive these heavy memories to support other woman who may me going through!
