In ❣️ with Bad Break
I started listening to this podcast to hear the funny and messy breakup stories, but I got so much more out of it! The way at the hosts interview the guests can really get to the root cause of what happened in the relationship. Now that Jerry Springer and Maury are gone, I've had a huge gap and bad break, just filled it 😅.
Healthy and Refreshing
Seriously love listening to these two and their guests! Turning a topic that is typically associated with negative feelings into a fun, comedic adventure is such an important contribution. It’s a great reminder that at some point you’ll be able to look back and laugh. Can’t wait to see where this goes!
