Cara & Aaron: Breaking Up, Making Up, an...

CARA ALWILL
About this episode

It’s the episode you’ve all been waiting for…

In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Aaron and I sit down to share the full story of how we broke up (more than once), how we found our way back to each other, and how we ended up engaged.

We open up about:

• Why our relationship ended and what finally brought us back together
• The healing work we both had to do
• Aaron’s reaction to reading about himself in my book
• What dating long distance (and in our 40s) taught us about real love
• The moment I knew we were ready
• Our proposal story (!!)
• Why men commit, “if he wanted to, he would,” and all the nuance in between

PLUS: the urgent care trip for Viagra visit (yes, really lol), our blow-up fights, our mind-blowing makeup sex, the tears, the laughs, and the one moment that changed everything.

It’s messy, romantic, honest and hilarious.

This is our plot twist. And we’re so glad you’re here for it.
