The universe has good news for the lost, lonely, and heart-sick.
Sugar is here, the both of us, speaking straight into your ears.
I'm Cheryl Strayed.
I'm Steve Almond.
This is Dear Sugar Radio.
Hi Cheryl.
Hi Steve.
So, you know,
in our inbox we get lots of letters from people who are looking for love or whose relationship is imperiled in some way.
And we also get... A certain number of letters,
an increasing number of letters from people who are actually thrilled with the relationship they're in,
which we always think, oh, great, fantastic.
And then, of course, because it's the Dear Sugar radio mailbag, there's that one thing.
There's the but.
There's that big B-U-T.
And in this case, that thing is their career goals.
We're going to hear a couple of letters from women who are really quite ecstatic about the relationships they're in,
but who also have specific career goals that in their minds and in the world,
are complicating and imperiling this happy relationship that they're in.
Has that ever happened to you?
