Episode 11: Self care and break ups (backwards terminator edition)

(CW: death of parents at a young age) Sarah and Jessica talk to Anita Lee about the softening of her "tough as nails" mindset, getting out of a toxic relationship, and putting all her energy into her relationship with herself.

CW: Due to the nature of our subject matter, topics like suicide, mental illness symptoms, self-harm, and trauma may come up. For privacy and triggering reasons, we do not talk about these topics in graphic detail.

If you are struggling with thoughts of suicide or urges to self-harm, please call your local crisis line. Follow this link to find a crisis line in your area: https://unwantedlife.me/global-crisis-lines
