EP 157 - WHATADO: Micromanaging Moms, Broken-Record Friends, and Bad Excuses

***

Babies, a new year always brings on that age-old question: WHATADO?! Luckily, Jess and Caroline have got the answers for you. From micromanaging moms to friends stuck in victim loops to people abandoning their communities and then complaining about it, topics run the gamut of all things flummoxing.

They also lead into deeper conversations about determining when it’s worth it to pull back from a friendship, finding ways to understand someone’s reasoning behind their neuroticism, and solving the self-isolation problem of our generation. Get ready to chat about some societal ills…and how we can break patterns that have never really worked for us in the first place.
