Stephanie Foo's "What My Bones Know" (Part I)
In their first episode since their appearance on The Tamron Hall Show, the Sad Girls break down how that day went, as well as the rest of their week, including Alegra's experience with her nutritionist and Erin's big news. Then, they jump into the first half of Stephanie Foo's memoir about CPTSD and healing, "What My Bones Know," where they share their thoughts on talk therapy, this country's mental healthcare system, and sweater vests. Also, they touch on the idea of healing being a full-time job, and what it looks like choosing your mental health over a steady paycheck. They also discuss "Quiet On Set," the four-part Nickelodeon documentary that's got everyone talking and updates to Dom Gabriel's social media (naturally.)
