Hello and welcome to Forever 35, a podcast about the things we do to take care of ourselves.

I'm Dori Shafrier.

And I'm Elise Hugh, and we're just two friends who like to talk a lot about serums.

And this is a mini episode where we hear from you.

We share our comments and your thoughts and we answer your questions to the best of our ability.

But please remember, we are podcast hosts.

We are not experts.

And we always urge you to seek support first and foremost from a medical and or mental health professional as needed. We have a lot of questions

that we've gotten about like burnout and relationships and things and we're all doing the best we

can. So we will try and guide you. But, yes, it's so funny that this disclaimer actually makes me think there's a bit of controversy.

Have you heard that there's this controversy that Oprah has stepped into?

No.

Okay, so there was recently an episode of Oprah's podcast that's about setting boundaries with toxic family members. And I think that the advice,

or there was plenty of advice of just like, go no contact, you know, or cut off this family member.

But maybe it was too broad sweeping because then there have been a lot of like Instagram

psychologists who have come out to say, it doesn't work in this case and you know, you don't want to listen to a podcast and then make this decision that might be irreparable.

Okay.

But we all have different stuff in our feet. So you, I wouldn't know that. I only know this because Meredith, who's a friend of mine who is a psychologist and a behavioral, she's like an organizational psychologist. She brought it up with me. I was like, hmm, had no idea. We all see completely

different stuff. That's so interesting. Wow. Okay. Okay. So that's why it's a reminder every time.

It's like we're not experts. We are definitely not experts. I don't even feel like an

expert on like my own life. Do you know what I mean? Let alone other people's lives.

But we do. We are trying. We are, I feel like, warm and affectionate toward the community.
