Summary

This week, we talked about the shame monster: where it comes from, how it gets its grip on you, and what it’s actually taken to start loosening that grip. We share moments when we felt like failures and the slow, sometimes uncomfortable work of learning that our worth is never tied to what we can produce. Plus: Who we’d want to represent humanity in an alien invasion, Jonathan Majors’ “anti-woke Sinners” comeback film, the NAACP Awards, and Jim Carrey at the Césars (y’all think he’s a clone?)
