On this Thursday’s episode, Sami and Aleen start off by sharing a Listener Non-Scale Win: a woman writes in that she was feeling anxious because she felt like she hadn’t accomplished enough before turning 30, but then she realized that was only according to what society has told her, so she created her own list of all the things she’s actually already proudly accomplished. Then, Sami shares a NSW of her own: she was a bit annoyed at her husband and instead of keeping her frustrated thoughts to herself she communicated them to him, which made them both feel better. Aleen shares her NSW about buying new maternity clothes that she actually likes, which made her feel more confident going into the summer. Lastly, they read a Dear DST about how to deal with gaining weight during the pandemic and starting to have negative thoughts about it.
