A little SNIPPET of our full-length bonus episode, which you can hear in full over on patreon.com/helphole!

The Joy of Being Selfish by Michelle Elman is the inspiration for this edition of Help Hole, as Sofie and Abby explore the fascinating subject of boundaries and how being 'selfish' can actually be an act of love to the people around you. 
And as an extra treat, we also get to hear from the author herself as she directly answers one of Sofie's burning questions.

A little snippet, or, a teaser, from our Patreon and Subscribers ONLY exclusive content.

Abby gets us in legal trouble with Disney and then we begin answering a listener question but get sidetracked by talks and feelings about GENDER. Abby is also uncharacteristically problematic in this episode, and Sofie (who's writing this) can only apologise.

When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times by Pema Chödrön, supplies the context for this episode, and was in no small part inspired by a staggering act of kindness Abby experienced in her own life.
One of the inevitabilities of life is that at some stage or another, things will fall apart, so how can this book teach us to survive and learn from these times?
