Cousins and life-long best friends Rachel and Megan Wilford do just about everything together… including blowing up their lives in their late-20s. Just one month away from her wedding day (the second wedding she planned to the same man, in fact), Rachel took a leap of faith and ended her 10-year relationship when she discovered her fiancé was a serial cheater. At the same time, Megan was quickly inching her way out of her 7-year marriage to a man she had been with since she was 16. But having the courage to start over was only just the beginning. In this podcast, the two women deep dive into their heartbreaks but purposefully use dark humor to guide them through, as they navigate entering the dating world for the very first time, healing their past wounds, learning how to better love themselves, exploring the world and relationships through a fresher and wiser lens, and more.
