When the people closest to you turn into strangers, it's hard to cope. This week Vaishi shares the biggest lessons she has learned from growing apart, growing up, and even throwing birthday parties. 

This week, we're myth-busting; turns out there is not always a price you have to pay, other peoples desires have nothing to do with your own, and you do actually get exactly what you ask for. 

"They're so young... they don't know what love is." 

We've all heard this one before. 

Too often young people find their emotions invalidated because of of their supposed lack of "experience". 

It's all a load of BS, and this week, Vaishi tells you why.

Live Laugh Love ... no but seriously. 

Vaishi is overwhelmed by positivity this week, as she tells you all about the importance of forgiving yourself, learning to stress less, maintaining loving relationships, and understanding your flaws and changing for the better  

Yep. She said it. Finding yourself is futile; rediscovering yourself is what's important. Vaishi discusses the merits of asking the question "who am I?", and talks about why trying to define yourself based on the perceptions of others is a dead end.

Back from hibernation, Vaishi talks about the importance of making choices that are healthy for you, going back to school in-person, the beauty of life crisis, and what COVID has taught her about people. 

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger... right??

Chunky rings... the ULTIMATE mac&cheese ingredient... boys driving... stripping while taking quizzes... having the casual desire to jump out of a window, but in a calm way... yeah. What an episode. 

Boys ... well they can pretty much be the worst. This week, Vaishi gets into some girl talk, and yells at you just a little bit!

You don't have to be good enough for another person. You don't have to DO anything to be worthy of respect. You don't need people to like you. 

It's difficult to realize, but it's so so so TRUE. It's not even self-help fake inspo instagram quote type advice; it's just how it is. 

You don't need to make other people comfortable. 

You don't owe anyone anything but yourself.
