Why Does Jenn Sterger Still Talk To Me?

About this episode

The episode discusses the host's recovery journey and the rebuilding of a friendship with Jenn Sterger, focusing on themes of public shame and forgiveness.

I never expected that Jenn Sterger would become such a big part of my recovery. Jenn is a comedian and former sports commentator and in 2010, I ruined her life. Since then, Jenn and I have rebuilt our friendship (with the help of a dog) and I’m grateful to her for coming on the show. We talk about public shame, forgiveness and how hard it is to let go of what other people think. New episodes release every Wednesday.
