You know that feeling when you leave a dinner and think... who even was that? Like some old, insecure version of you hijacked the night?

Yeah. Same.

In this episode, Christy pulls back the curtain on her own relationship and gets brutally honest with her partner Gonzalo about a moment where an old wound took the wheel — during a simple dinner with friends. Grab your cacao, because this one's a masterclass in real, unfiltered emotional intimacy.
