Summary

Amy and Kat respond to an email from a listener struggling with adult acne, shame, and the emotional toll it can take (especially when you're also a parent trying to set a good example for your kids!) They unpack the layers of conflicting feelings: the embarrassment of breakouts, the guilt for feeling bad about it, and the frustration of being stuck in that cycle. Kat offers a therapeutic lens on how to let two opposing truths coexist, and Amy shares some tips for surviving Accutane. Whether you’ve battled acne yourself or not, this episode is a reminder that our feelings are valid, even when they’re messy.
