Summary

Bethany is opening our minds to how toxic positivity affects us in our everyday lives. Sleep when you're dead? Not us! We're napping now and learning how to deal with in-your-face positivity given to you by (usually) well-meaning people. Then, Kathleen is ruffling Bethany's feathers with a complete walk-through of how you can make your home a top-to-bottom smart home with every cool gadget on the market to help you live life better (should you wish to let the robots take over).

Plus, are you ready for the boobs?
