Summary

This week's episode is a re-release of one of Emmalee and Jen's favorite episodes. They want to model what they often share, which is the importance of resting and taking breaks in order to continue to show up as the best versions of themselves. The topic is one that constantly receives questions: what to do when the people in your life aren't "doing the work?" Whether that's your family member, friend, co-worker, or partner, Emmalee and Jen are answering your questions about the frustrations that can occur when it feels like you're the only one working on yourself. They discuss tangible tips, firm boundaries, their thoughts on being called "too sensitive," passive aggression, resentment and the emotions underneath it, changing relational dynamics, and so much more. Tune in to gain insight, awareness, and action! PS: Fast forward to around 6 minutes to skip the intro and get straight to today’s content.

So let me be honest for a second.

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

You know the drill.

Strap sticking in, bands that never sit quite right,

underwear that either rolls or rides up.

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.

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.

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

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

It's supportive without squeezing and it just feels good on my body. And now I'm kind of obsessed. I

keep looking at the rest of the skim site, making mental wishless and a set of abandoning my cart

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
