In their first episode since their appearance on The Tamron Hall Show, the Sad Girls break down how that day went, as well as the rest of their week, including Alegra's experience with her nutritionist and Erin's big news. Then, they jump into the first half of Stephanie Foo's memoir about CPTSD and healing, "What My Bones Know," where they share their thoughts on talk therapy, this country's mental healthcare system, and sweater vests. Also, they touch on the idea of healing being a full-time job, and what it looks like choosing your mental health over a steady paycheck. They also discuss "Quiet On Set," the four-part Nickelodeon documentary that's got everyone talking and updates to Dom Gabriel's social media (naturally.)

The Sad Girls are taking a break from reading this week to talk about therapy. While it’s impossible to “go backwards” and unlearn what you’ve learned in your sessions, sometimes it feels like that, so Alegra and Erin update each other on where they are today in their therapy journeys. They also discuss living a sober-curious life and dive into the details of disassociating, CPTSD, and trauma. Also, Alegra shares a recent experience on TikTok, and how it has showed her growth.

This week, Erin and Alegra dive into “As the Wicked Watch” by Emmy Award-winning journalist Tamron Hall (The Tamron Hall Show, Today’s Take, Deadline: Crime). As the first book in Hall’s thrilling Jordan Manning mystery series, this powerful novel tackles a topic not discussed nearly enough. The Sad Girls discuss the captivating way Hall is able to infuse her life into her writing, separating yourself from traumatic work, and missing white woman syndrome. Also, after a trying week, the duo share how they handle anger and why it’s okay to embrace that emotion.
