In this week's episode we finish the second installment of June and Jed's love story. June drops some serious wisdom about how and why an unconventional relationship like theirs is a beautiful bubble of warmth. She also reminds us there are no benefits to being anything other than yourself. You're gonna want to listen to this heartwarming conclusion.

June and Jed knew they wanted a love that would last so when they found each other they grabbed on tight(ish) and decided together they wouldn't let go. Still, the way this all happened and the way their marriage is now doesn't look like it does for most people. In part one of their story, we touch on many topics including: Bold new starts and risk taking a la the Alchemist Getting over ex loves/moving onto new loves Marriages sustained by respect and adoration over passion Do or die moments

Sometimes true love means letting go. Follow along with Sara's story as host, yan palmer takes you through the stages of what an "amicable divorce," done with love, kindness and grace looks like. sara's instagram: @saralazio website: www.lazioimages.com
