94. Love Letter: Getting Honest With Yourself, Compromising on Kids, and Ranking Potatoes

Visit ⁠skims.com⁠ and let them know we sent you! Select Not For Everyone after checkout. __ This week the lover is alone in a hotel room with the sniffles, and she just needs a little bit of self care time. Away from the stressors of home ownership and work dinners, it's just her and your topic submissions tonight. First, a WHATADO on setting boundaries with parents - which Jess decides to treat as an opportunity to challenge the listener in question. Sure sure, boundaries shmoundaries, but are you being honest with yourself? The projection continues as Jess reflects on recent conflicts in which "I" statements were not in use, then dives into the nuances of deciding whether or not to be a parent. But a solo episode from the lover wouldn't be complete without a number of lukewarm takes and complaints, mostly on the topic of food. Please be good to yourselves - it be hard out here lately 💜 __ This episode was produced by your lover, Jess DeBakey. __ Share with a friend! Follow, rate, and review on your favorite podcasting app!
