I'm Wigging Out

TLDR: Lucy's candle nemesis, a curious letter, and a pod Kee loves.

How do you respond when your “no-contact” ex reaches out? How many second chances does one person deserve? And are apologies sometimes self-serving? This week, Lucy and Kee weigh up the pros and cons of letting someone back into your life.

We've been taught that parenthood will complete us, but what if it's not enough? Is it possible for a relationship to survive when you have mismatched ambition? And what if you regret having kids? This week, Lucy and Kee unpack a postpartum dilemma about family, career, love and regret.

TLDR: Kee's (fairy) Ballerina, an unfortunate association, and three words to help you get dressed.

Can you stay friends with someone who is a reminder of the worst thing that's ever happened to you? Why is it so tempting to leave everything behind and start over? And is it possible to separate the friendship from the trauma? This week, Lucy and Kee suggest strategies that just might save a friendship.
