Emily & Meg explore their personal addictions and the ways they seek relief or short-term pleasure. They unravel their tendencies and talk about their strategies for working with their unhealthy patterns.

“In life, we all need three simple things to have true, lasting happiness: something to do, something to love, & something to hope for.”

“Part of letting addictions go is decoding 'what does my body REALLY want right now. ”

“We are all seeking some form of relief.”

“You have to ride the wave of wanting it so badly, and trusting that the urge will pass. It’s called being uncomfortable for this one moment and challenging yourself to see if I truly desire this.”

“If all you’ve known are bad relationships, it is up to us to take responsibility for our happiness without the expectation that this other person will provide all of the fun, excitement, and fulfillment we need in our lives.”
