Summary

Amy and Kat unpack an anonymous listener’s question about a friendship that suddenly feels…off. From backhanded comments about Botox to unsolicited opinions about glasses and clothes, this listener wonders: Am I overreacting, or is my friend actually making me feel small?

Then, an email from Emily, who shares how a new medical diagnosis led her to a moment of deep self-compassion. Her story is a reminder to treat our bodies with kindness…especially when they’re going through something hard.

Also, there’s a false alarm about Christmas!!!!!!!!
