Rachel has passed her LICSW exam and launched her own business, The Collective Mental Health and Wellness! Specializing in helping individuals and couples with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship stressors, Rachel's new venture is off to a great start. We toast to her achievements before diving into some juicy Reddit posts.

First, we tackle a couple comparing their "micro-cheating" incidents. They turn to Reddit for answers on whose actions were worse and whether they can salvage their relationship. Next, we explore the struggles of two adolescents dealing with "insane parents." One teen is caught in their dad's relationship drama, while another faces a manipulative mother driven by addiction.

Javae shares her experiences as a Black American traveling internationally and the surprising revelation about her name during the trip. Meanwhile, Rachel recounts having the most important therapy session of her life, though she can't quite remember the details!

This episode was shot in mid-June, and little did we know how much would change before its release! With the reality show of American politics heating up for election season, we wrap up by discussing Clarence Thomas's agreement with Rahimi in the US vs. Rahimi Texas Supreme Court Case. What's the benefit of arming people convicted of domestic abuse? How have these protections helped domestic violence victims? We dive deep into these pressing issues.
