Summary

Malin Akerman is here to talk about the power of women, why you’ll never win an argument with a narcissist, and why much-younger men make surprisingly great husbands. Then: A 20-something can’t stomach her influencer friend’s lifestyle. A sister wonders how to stay in touch when she makes a cross-country move. And a dad struggles to deal with his kid’s mom - especially when she tells lies about him.
