A Fresh Story, season 3, episode 8

We had the best time talking to award-winning writer and community builder, Rachel Sobel. Rachel is authentic, raw, honest, and hilarious as she shares about her divorce experience, meeting her second (and final) husband, having daughters, building community, and how to support people going through a divorce. Rachel is so loving, gracious, and supportive, and we were honored to have the time to chat with her!
