Show Notes
The holidays are rife for loneliness and feeling down about your situation. So we wanted to send you a little bolstering, and some reasons to hang in there...plus a bit of time travel. This episode comes from the Not For Everyone archives, it originally aired on April 21, 2023 and the original recording took place a few hours before Caroline met Justin for the very first time. Jess and Caroline unpack the fear of abandonment, and the exhausting belief that your worth is tied to how well you perform socially. Caroline opens up about a messy breakup, taking a break from dating, and nervously heading into her first date with Justin that night. Jess meets her there with her own reckoning around feeling lovable without being likable. Along the way: therapists asking the rudest question imaginable (“what if you didn’t have to do anything?”), petty beef with cultured food trends, a question for Bugs Bunny, and a reality-TV podcast gripe. Equal parts vulnerable, unhinged, and experimental—this one has the full spectrum. The episode also includes a lot of important commentary on cottage cheese. You're welcome. This episode was produced by our prince, Abi Newhouse (@abinewhouse). __
