Episode notes
Biz and Theresa are beginning to think we aren’t using the word “selfish” right. Wanting time for yourself so you can rest isn’t the same thing as shoving someone out of the lifeboat. As we find ourselves digging into the idea of self-care more and more on the show, we try to figure out this week why it’s hard to allow ourselves our own wants and desires. Plus Biz has an unimportant update, Theresa is getting messages and they’re coming from within her bra, and we talk to Brett McKay about his book, The Art of Manliness, which, as it turns out, is helpful to parents and non-parents, regardless of gender!
