Summary
Dr. Edith Eger is one of Kimi and Christy's new heroes, and they talk about their favorite "write it down on a post-it" moments. As a result of Dr. Edie's unimaginable story and circumstances, they explore the idea of comparative suffering and why it is so harmful. Christy explains why people measure and minimize their pain by comparing it to that of others.
They talk about Dr. Edie's wisdom about "feeling the feeling" and the "power of and" when it comes to talking about our own struggles. The friends discuss the power of humor when 93-year-old Dr. Edie points out that her boobs and "high kick" are superb.
