Customer Reviews
Like having coffee with a friend
I feel like Samantha is a trusted friend who is kind and non-judgey and fun to be around. I love listening to her conversations with women who’ve been through it. It’s really a look at where we are today. And I love that she’s just being herself - not trying to impress. What I want to say is I don’t feel like I need to wear makeup to listen! But I don’t wear makeup anyway, ha ha. It just feels very relatable! Thanks, Samantha!
So relatable
I love this show because i don’t know many other divorced people and it’s nice to hear women in my same position. Thank you!!
💗
