Some things just aren’t adding up about former monk turned podcaster and self-help guru Jay Shetty’s rags-to-riches origin story. But do the specifics of his story mean anything? Or do we feel a tad lied to? 

Plus, you’re not imagining it; pants are getting wider. What pants are you wearing right now? If you don’t feel ridiculous in them, you’re doing it wrong.

And, Abigail Shrier is flooding our group chats. She thinks our kids have become too weak, singling out the gentle parents and the therapists. But is she right in saying that defaulting to therapy can do more harm to kids than good?

• To hear us talk about JLo's documentary, listen here: Who TF Did I Marry?
