Welcome to lovelustraw—an unfiltered, unapologetic space where host Michele Locke opens up about her challenging marriage and the difficult yet necessary choice to leave for the sake of her well-being. Michele reveals how her upbringing and family dynamics, including her father’s battles with OCD and alcoholism, have shaped her journey. She also explores the complexities of a relationship with a significant age difference, midlife divorces, and the unexpected insights that emerge after separation. With humor and honesty, Michele jokes that it takes three different men to create the perfect partner—the provider, the bedroom expert, and the best friend. Joining Michele is Jake Deptula to share behind-the-scenes stories from launching her podcast lovelustlaw and how podcasting has become a therapeutic outlet for her.
