Tromedy with Nancy Norton

S3 E10 - Sherri Harper - Thriving after Sociopath Abuse ! Sherri is back with a fun followup conversation since we last spoke with her 2 years ago on S1- E10-"Those Red Flags are NOT a Parade!" It's so exciting to hear how she is thriving and at peace now. Sherri is happy in a 2 year relationship. Even though this feels like the most honest relationship she's ever been in, she learned her lesson from the sociopath ex and got a cohabitation agreement before moving in after 2 years of dating. Lots of laughs and insights!
