Today's episode is brought to you by the first warm day in months and the confusion that comes with daylight savings.

We're feeling extra chatty with our highs and lows this week, covering everything from entitled people in parking lots to German restaurants to Harry Styles and yet another meltdown over the Lion King (cue: look, there's a lion, omg). 

Then, we recap an experience from a year ago that led Joyce to realize how weird it is to gatekeep information as an adult (and also serves as a reminder that we never really let anything go, ever). We talk about what gatekeeping is, what motivates people to do it, and when it can actually be advantageous.

We also discuss insecurity and competition, why we withhold information from people we have history with when we're trying to reinvent ourselves, and why we can be unique AND generous of spirit at the same time.
