Summary

Jamie and Doug are coming off a week that started with their daughter getting the hand foot mouth virus, which got passed to Jamie, and then ended with Hurricane Idalia passing near them. The episode recapped Jamie’s friend Sarah recently passing away at 40 yrs from ovarian cancer, and the profound impact she had on how Jamie now handles anxiety and depression on down to the daily complaints and frustrations. This prompts an emotional and deep conversation about Jamie’s past, and the abuse she went through in her childhood. Jamie then reveals the one constant in her life, which continues to this day, that she says saved her from being trapped in a very dark mindset.

0:21.5	we had quite the, quite the week between Hurricane Adalia and having,
0:27.4	Kate, get hand foot mouth disease. Is it a disease or is it a virus? I think they do call it a
0:32.8	disease, but that sounds so like dramatic and aggressive. It's, it's a virus. I think it's just
0:38.2	called hand foot and mouth disease. And they can't do anything about it. Yeah, no, it's a virus.

1:41.3	saying that, you know, just, or she didn't even DM me. She actually commented on one of my posts.
1:46.1	And just said, and I think it was like, say what you're thankful for or I can't remember what,
