Our guest on the podcast this week is Bradley Richardson of Advanced Adulting. We are talking about how to start your life over as a "me," rather than a "we." Bradley tells us about his personal divorce journey and his need to do some self-discovery after that. Letting go of bitterness is also key. After going through an acrimonious divorce himself, Bradley certainly speaks from experience when it comes to healing after divorce and becoming a better version of yourself.
