Summary
Comedian and friend Jackie Johnson was terrified to do this podcast… until she got a divorce. She joins Nicole to talk about dating a record number of canceled UCB comedians, surviving a nightmare marriage, and only realizing she was unhappy after it ended (plus how to spot signs of abuse in your own relationship). Jackie shares how therapy—and a witch’s spell—helped her find true love. Plus, they discuss the red flags they missed in past relationships, why getting married on Valentine’s Day was a HUGE mistake, the secret to getting out of jury duty, and Jackie’s genius advice on when to swoop in and land a man.
