Episode notes

I think the world would just be so amazed and charmed by that coming from people that are in theory supposed to be helping people. It's so good because wouldn't you just say owning it without the 14 asterisks? The sincerity of it, we all have that, that little meter and you can tell when someone's bullshitting or not. If you treat people like garbage, I don't care if you're nice to me. Can you operationalize that for us? What are the words? How do you draw a boundary with someone?

1. What Melissa’s parents said when she told them about her dream – and how those magic words set the course of Melissa’s life.

2. The green and red flags Melissa tells her kids to look for in a relationship.

3. Why Melissa is a shark, and her brilliant strategy to “Run Around the Block” in almost any difficult situation.

4. Melissa’s and Abby’s experiences with ghosts.

5. How Melissa learned about sex – and the way she talks to her kids about it.
