When Jen Hatmaker was last on Best of Both Worlds in April 2020, the world was shut down for the pandemic. Jen was discussing a previous book, little knowing that the opening scene of her new memoir, Awake, was about to happen.
One night in the summer of 2020, she woke in the middle of the night to hear her husband of two decades dictating a text to his girlfriend. In today’s episode of Best of Both Worlds, she recounts the dissolution of her marriage, and how she picked up the pieces to rebuild her world. When you get married very young, there are a great many solo firsts following a divorce, including such things as her first car purchase.
Speaking of cars, in the Q&A we take a question from a listener who is trying to decide how to handle car logistics with a new teen driver and a limited number of vehicles.
Please give the episode a listen. Sarah and I open with a discussion of our own memories from spring 2020. In some ways it seems like a long time ago, and in some ways not.
As always, we welcome ratings and reviews!
