  • Wonderful Pod

    Done by a beautiful soul. Such wise takes and soothing voice.

    💕💕

    Edited to add; I’m sorry but women really need to accept that mothers are just busier than those that are not. It doesn’t make your life less valuable but you just have no idea what level of busy or tapped out a mom is. The day yall can accept that being a care giver for a child is crazy taxing is better for us all. It’s okay. It’s not a commentary on your value in life. You just factually aren’t as busy

Interview with Jackie Goldschenider

Goldschneider supports GLP-1 medications for people who need them but worries that they are being used for unnecessary weight loss, including by young people. She is concerned about fear of weight regain, continued use, and unknown long-term effects, and says public figures should be responsible about the messages they send.
Interview with Jackie Goldschenider
Q: What has that been like for you to go from not being on TV to being on TV to not being on TV?

Darling, Bish Hour: SLOMW S5: Part One
Q: Can you, can you be a fawner and also a fighter at some point? Or is it pretty much, oh, really?
Melissa says a person can show both responses, although people who tend to fawn may do so more consistently. Stress responses can vary with a person's genetics, environment, and personality.
