In this episode we talk about what it was like to be in the marriage, and then dating during the separation. The details of being with another man intimately, as well as, the expectations of what it was and what she thought it would be. Michele talks about how she was still in her 30’s and buttoning up.  It takes a certain type of guy to be comfortable with her wearing skimpy outfits and being a performer and that is who she is and what she needs.

As the interview progressed we got really into it and she expressed her thoughts on the choices she’s made with men and her experience or inexperience with intimacy. How she took a couple years off because her daughter was still a baby and she was also nursing and her body was going through changes. She talks about how lonely that time was for her. 

This episode has a lot of laughter in it, but it mostly holds the space for what happens to a normal person, living in Jersey, who has a child, a divorce, and is trying to make sense of it all.
