Together, they write a few options for the official Boy Problems theme song, and discuss the importance of knowing your own diagnoses. Also, they invite Taylor Swift to join the boy problems squad, and chat about how the debut of her new album is a perfect example of women showing up in a male-dominated room, and being celebrated and admired while doing it. Nick & Liz answer a few of your questions, and chat to Nick’s sister about being a Swiftie, and how he turned out so great. Please keep sending us your boy problems. We love reading them! 💕
