Post-divorce trauma is real and it can show up in more than one place. Eric is not okay. Picking up where we left off at Episode 5, Episode 7: Joy and Pain — Soul Ties and Ho Cake packs a punch that hits: Putting your ex-wife on Do Not Disturb HBCUs Creating a spreadsheet to evaluate prospective dates Breaking soul ties Experiencing joy Being your own boss at someone else's job The power of choice and the dangers that come with The lies we tell ourselves to get through our pain and our days and some great music from Temper And someone from Season One reemerges with new energy (insert dramatic sound effect) before it's all over.
