Do you say hi to your neighbors? Sherry and Carla start the episode talking about whether or not they say hi to strangers while out on a stroll, and take a Love Fix question from a listener whose partner can’t stop bringing up their ex. They then welcome Laura Charanza, relationship expert and narcissistic abuse survivor. Laura is also the author of Ugly Love: A Survivor’s Story of Narcissistic Abuse. Laura talks about her mission to help men and women navigate toxic relationships, and how it is possible to come out on the other side better than ever.
