Summary

On this week's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen are myth-busting the idea of unconditional love. They explain the difference between conditional and unconditional love and which kinds of relationships fall into either category. Then, they answer the #1 listener question: can love be unconditional in romantic relationships? Plus, they dive deeper into the way we put unconditional love on a pedestal as a society. Em and Jen discuss the grief process in accepting the reality that our parent's love is conditional, deep love vs. unconditional love, what normal martial hatred means, and normalizing the postpartum experience. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action! PS: Fast forward to around 8:15 into their convo to skip the intro and get straight to today’s content.

So let me be honest for a second.

Braves and underwear have always been a pain point for me.

You know the drill.

Strap sticking in, bands that never sit quite right,

underwear that either rolls or rides up.

I'd get so frustrated shopping for bras and underwear that I kind of gave up.

I started with a fits everybody collection, and let me tell you, it is like, oh, so this is what it's supposed to feel like.

The fabric is unreal. Silky, soft, stretching all the right ways, and it somehow manages to feel light but still supportive.

like I used to,

1:11.5

I'm actually excited to click checkout. It feels like I finally found intemates that actually work
