Back for another week of So What Now, and friends… we're in our advice bag. Carla and Dex sit down to answer listener letters that hit close to home—from glow-up guilt and feeling unsupported in your relationship, to the exhaustion of always being the "strong friend," to that quiet but heavy realization of a soft exit when your spirit checks out before your body does.

As always, we don't just answer the questions—we bring our own experiences, honesty, and a few side tangents along the way (because life isn't linear and neither are we). If you've been feeling confused, tired, or unsure of your next move, this episode is your reminder that you're not alone—and none of us have it fully figured out.

One day at a time, friends

And send Dex some love as she recovers from surgery 💛 We'll see you next week.

What We Get Into

• Glow-up guilt and navigating growth when your partner isn't supportive
• Being the "strong friend" and what happens when you're finally tired
• Soft exits and realizing your spirit has already checked out
• Personal stories, reflections, and figuring life out in real time
