Ep. 118: Erica Djossa

Alex and Shane chat fragrances (and whether they are perfume people), weaponized incompetence, and the most pretentious things about each other.

 

Therapist Erica Djossa (@happyasamother) discusses setting and honouring boundaries, postpartum rage, when you resent the role of "mother," and the unrealistic expectations that we put on ourselves.

 

Listener questions are answered in the mailbag segment, hitting topics like giving kids household chores, Arnold Schwarzenegger's love child, and TV remakes.
