Hilah and Jessie talk about drugs and relive the glory days of their "raving 20s". Jessie's compulsive foot-picking puts her at risk of getting involuntarily committed. A woman writes in questioning whether or not to break up with her boyfriend before she leaves the state for a few months, or try and make it work long-distance. It seems to be a problematic dynamic with many red flags waving in the wind, so listen closely as Hilah and Jessie capture and dissect them all. They emphasize the importance of trusting your gut and offer tips for helping yourself do emotionally difficult things.

Book suggestion for learning to trust your gut:
The Gift of Fear: Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence by Gavin de Becker
