Summary

This week on ShrinkChicks, Emmalee and Jen dive into part two of people in our lives who aren't "doing the work." They continue to answer listener questions such as how to enjoy these people, when is it "too much," and how to respond to manipulation. They discuss ultimatums and setting the hard boundary, how it can be so hard to receive what we've asked for, grieving the fact that some people in our lives may not change, how different relationships can fulfill us in different ways, and so much more. We also get an update on the new Philadelphia office, some of the decor Emmalee bought and why she thought Jen was mad at her for doing so. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action!

So let me be honest for a second.

0:02.0

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

0:05.3

You know the drill.

0:06.3

Strap sticking in, bands that never sit quite right,

0:09.8

underwear that either rolls or rides up.

0:12.4

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

0:17.2

I'd add things to my cart online, stare at them, and then just never check out.

0:21.6

Because in the back of my mind, I figured it'll just be another letdown.

But recently, I finally took the plunge with skims, and I cannot believe I waited this long.

0:30.0

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.

0:37.1

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

0:45.1

My absolute favorite piece, the triangle bra.

0:47.9

I am not exaggerating when I say it is the most comfortable bra I have ever owned.

1:10.3

like I used to,

1:11.5

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

1:16.0

for me. Pieces I don't have to think about all day because they just feel good. I get it now.
