What are boundaries and why does everyone tell me they have them all the time? (asking for a friend). In this first part of a 3-part series on boundaries, Adriana and Lena talk about what boundaries are (and are not) and why you need them. Also they argue about friendship bracelets, naturally.

We brought you a special for the special 2/14 but because time blindness is a symptom of ADHD, we're bringing it to you a few days later. The TL;DR of it is that the most important thing about Valentine's Day is truly your friends, and definitely not whether Mario Lopez was your 6th grade crush (he wasn't). Also this episode is probably going to be more fun to watch on YouTube, because we had to chop up a bunch of randomness together. Good luck? We want to hear your questions and suggestions!

When someone shows you who they are, believe them...right? Do you remember the Macarena? That's a pretty crazy song. Should I shave my dog? Do they still make dynamite? And does it say TNT on the side? Or is that just Looney Tunes? Is it okay to have inside jokes with yourself? How many yellow flags equal a red flag? What is orbiting? Should I join Clubhouse? Why is Iris always staring at me? What is happening???? We want to hear your questions and suggestions!

This one goes out to all of you who think 'sorry' is a four-letter word (the good or bad kind). Adriana and Lena talk about what makes a good apology, why forgiveness is gucci, and deliver a surprising rationale on why you gotta stop apologizing so damn much (you know who you are). *Also we're team Selena all the way so we apologize for the song title but this is JBieb's best song of all time and the best banger of the 2010's (rip) on apologies. #SORRYNOTSORRY We want to hear your questions and suggestions!

We welcome Dave Granzotto onto the show this week to share his belated no-nuance November take on therapy and why he felt like it was a big pile of "meh."

In today's episode, Lena and Adriana lean into a courageous conversation with Dr. Shawan Worsley around the anxieties and uncertainties we are all currently experiencing, specifically as they relate to the tense political climate of the 2020 election. We are especially calling in our therapist friends (of all races and ethnicities) to listen as a huge focus of the conversation is centered on how, as professional humans, we can cultivate a safe space for all clients to lean into courageous conversations around race and other social identities through a framework of cultural humility, lots of self-compassion, and grace.

I Feel U welcomes tough love help self-help writer, Lisa Cleary, to discuss her book, How To Survive a Breakup: (When all of your friends are birthing their second child).

Through fierce vulnerability and humor she does a deep dive on her book and how she learned to love herself—then get over herself.
