i don’t think friendships are necessarily a forever thing. i think sometimes it’s beneficial to end them. in my twenties, i tried to stay in expired friendships where the dynamic was doing me a disservice. in this episode, i talk through two examples of when i ended “key” friendships in my life.

in this episode i delve into loyalty and, more specifically, what an issue i think it presents in certain relationships. the key relationship that comes to mind for me is the one with my “dad”. to understand why i put “dad” in quotes, you’re gonna have to listen to the episode. mormon punch recipe: 1 part sprite, 1 part rainbow sherbet, 1 dollop of whipped cream, ice to taste.

so… i’m pretty. this might be a weird thing to say but i think it’s an important one. i spent too much of my life not recognizing my own beauty. i let negative beliefs and body dysmorphia rule me. not anymore, baby ! i like my eyes and my lips and my boobs and my hips and my hair and my cheekbones and the whole package. i’m happy to look like me.

Jennette McCurdy doesn't give a f*ck. Except that she does. She gives many f*cks. So many, in fact, that she hurts constantly. "This is what it means to be human," Jennette said in an exclusive quote for this podcast description. She said it with her chin in her palm, taking herself seriously.
