This week, AC opens up about feeling self-worth and validation within her work life, and Andy talks more on his parent’s health, as his mother also recently spent some time in the hospital.

Following that, Andy and AC discuss their different experiences with the topic of self-comfort, and their different approaches to self-soothing behavior.

Then later, they read and discuss the show’s first emotional support submissions, addressing the issues of finding worth in creation without consistent peer validation, and dealing with the aftermath of an emotionally abusive and manipulative ex.

Listeners, friends, and strangers may submit their own emotional support requests to the show through our social media pages on Facebook and Instagram, as well as by email. Support requests are discussed anonymously.
