Kathleen has been hearing the term “death doula” quite a bit lately, so she’s looking into the world of death doulas. She’ll peel back the layers on what they do, why they’re incredibly valuable, and why we should all be talking about this now! Then, does looking at a strawberry up close make your skin crawl? Did you have a hard time watching shirtless Michael B. Jordan in “Black Panther?” You may have Trypophobia! Bethany talks about this controversial condition that you may have without realizing it, and some of the bizarre things that can trigger it. (Ryan Murphy has a lot to apologize for…)
