In this week’s episode, we asked our listeners on Instagram and Twitter to send in questions they needed advice on. How do you feel confident in expressing your thoughts, even when you don’t have all the facts? What can you do when a parent makes you feel bad for spending your own money? We discuss these common and often difficult situations, coming up with some ways these can be overcome. We also listen to a story from one of our listeners about his experience with Female Genital Mutilation and how it affected him and his relationships.
