Segment 1 — Narcissism: What Is It Really? - Counsellor Sophia Wolsfeld helps separate narcissistic traits from narcissistic personality disorder, explains
the patterns to watch for, and talks about what you can control when someone you love may not be willing to change.

Segment 2 — Weaponized Incompetence - When “just tell me what to do” actually creates more work. Jenn looks at weaponized incompetence, the
invisible mental load of running a family, and three ways couples can move from dividing chores to truly sharing responsibility.

Segment 3 — The Invisible Load of Feeling Safe - Sherry Eudy created Go Diva Transportation after recognizing how much energy women and members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community can spend simply trying to feel safe getting home. We talk about designing a business around safety, comfort and care.

Segment 4 — The Great Exhale - Carol Poole of Tiger Lily Alpaca Ranch joins Jenn to talk about 30 years with alpacas—and why walking through nature with a calm, curious animal might be exactly the kind of self-care we need. Sometimes a better life starts by putting down what we're carrying for an hour and breathing.
