Feeling fried? Just do some self care! This week we do a deep dive into our qualms about self care, or as we like to call it, self-cringe. What are the ways we show up for ourselves and how can we de-Karen the conversation? Let’s stop pretending we can fit in our bathtubs and that we’re not actually doing drugs on the weekends. Oh, and we talk about Rachel’s dating life again (that’s why you’re really here)!
