In this episode the ladies finally record in person, and have Ilia's therapist J'Nay call in and join them. They had a great conversation and asked lots of questions such as why is it important for people to go to therapy, what alternatives can people do if they think therapy is too expensive, and is there a such thing as a "therapist voice"? Additionally, the ladies read listeners questions. This was a very candid interview/discussion and we hope you enjoy it as much as they did having it.
