CW: We talk about emotional manipulation.

Back from our hiatus, and this one's a doozy!

This week's episode addresses some heavy matters, including health, mental health and illness, emotional manipulation, and healing from emotional manipulation. How do you heal from emotional pain and manipulation when your healing is contingent on someone who refuses to heal?

We talked about the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election because we're so original (also Thi got sidetracked).

We started off talking about money, but we ended up talking about the sanctity of life. And Disney. 

Some people say a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. For our mom, it's a tea brewed in cockroach exoskeletons. Listen as we take a deeper dive into the measures our mom has taken to address some of our ailments.
