Full Episode
I come from a family steeped in talking about your feelings. My family can't stop talking about it. No, they cannot. As much as you would wish, they are incapable of that. I just knew I was completely incapable of dealing with this. And I was just like, this is like a professional level of grief and something that you need to have gone to school to understand how to navigate this kind of thing.
And... And that was very helpful.
Seth was the one that was like, I love you. I'm happy to, you know, hold you while you cry, but you need a professional. And I did. I really did. And it really helped.
This episode is brought to you by Cologuard and Pine Solve. Hey, you. Hi, Craig.
How are you, Michelle?
I'm doing pretty good.
Good. We're back at our nice Airbnb taping out here on the West Coast.
It's so beautiful out here.
I know.
