Hello. In this IRL episode I talk with a woman who moved to the US from Russia and just got married, an aspiring lawyer trying not to let her family’s doubts get to her, I debate someone about intrinsic vs extrinsic validation, I do a push up contest against some guy, and talk to an aspiring therapist about why their past therapists have been bad.
