Your Pep Talk for that Hard Conversation (Merry Christmas!)

EP 153 - Holiday Hug: Your Official Pep Talk for That Hard Conversation

***

Welcome to Holiday Hug, where the N4E team extends a warm embrace from their Christmas break to yours - because let's be honest, the love isn't always flowing when we're back in our childhood homes.
This week opens with your lover as she takes us back to Episode 87, an all-time favorite of hers from the archives. It's one she thinks back on often, as she and Caroline recorded it just moments before a very difficult conversation she knew she was going to have to face. Jess talks about what it feels like to be over a year out from that moment, and invites the kooks to re-listen since she knows this time of year can be filled with uncomfortable dialogue and unwanted confrontation.
The episode from the archives also features a loaded listener WHATADO about a friend who got a bit too close for comfort with her partner, plus a story from Caroline about the time she ruined the vibes at a dinner party (read: she was on shrooms). Many reasons this episode was one for the books! Please enjoy as you take a much needed break from family time, and we'll be back to hug you once more next week before all-new episodes in 2026.
