Summary
A listener named Hanna emailed about being the person everyone in her family calls to vent and how completely draining it has become. Amy and Kat talk through what it actually looks like to set boundaries with the people you love most without the guilt spiral that follows. It is okay to let someone down. They will survive. Plus Grace from Alaska calls in with the perfect "yes and" solution to the no shoe household debate. And a random fact we learn: some airports have UV light systems on escalator handrails that kill over 99% of bacteria and viruses.
