Would you rather curl up with a good book on a Saturday night than try to swipe through the rejects on a dating app? Have you ever committed to a date with high expectations only to say to yourself after, that's an hour I'll never get back? Do you want to share your horror dating stories but your married friends just don't understand? Chapter Two with Rita and Denise is just the place for you. Kick off your heels, pour a glass of wine and prepare to laugh. We are divorced professionals and savvy women just trying to navigate through the next chapter of our lives. We aren't experts on dating (obviously) but through sharing our stories with a comical twist, maybe we can get through this...together.
Rita and Denise talk about the emotional effects on your affect from the most destructive hurricane yet in FL- Hurricane Ian, even if you weren’t directly involved. Listen to Denise’s reaction about seeing her mother for the first time in many years. We also talk about living in fear, possibly from being overly bombarded by researching every little thing on google. We don’t want to live our lives in fear. We need to live life to its fullest like it’s our last day to live!
