We spent time in this episode discussing common new year resolutions, the infinite wisdom of Elyse Myers, the hilarious Tanara "Everybody's so creative" Mallory and Chef Reactions. Not to be left out, Sonya's hatred for trending kitchen sink recipes along with unpacking if it's possible to date someone who is still friends with ALLL of their exes.

New surgeon, the last surgery in the J pouch series, recovering, graduating from Grad school, starting Girls With Guts, and finding out that her boyfriend has been less than faithful. Does this finally fracture the relationship and end things? Listen to find out.

TW Suicide

This episode is deeply vulnerable. Jackie was at a low point and actively planning her suicide. There's outreach, friends intervening, getting help, another J pouch surgery, and some body and mind healing. Life starts moving forward, and good things start happening, but all get derailed by more complications.
