Sober Firsts: Running into an Ex

About this episode

Lisa and Anna share their experiences of unexpected encounters with exes while navigating sobriety.

It was bound to happen - an ex from our pasts would pop up out of nowhere. Lisa ended up rekindling an old flame that was more fun sober. And Anna found herself face-to-face with her first love. We talk about crazy run-ins, finding closure, and the universe bringing people back into our lives.
