Kate and Nelly were both in their late 40s when they decided to leave their husbands. The thing they have in common, other than being good friends? They don’t regret a thing.

This is a conversation about choosing happiness, discovering your sexuality, and all the good, and the bad, that comes with leaving a marriage. This is Kate and Nelly’s stories.
