In this deeply personal episode, we're getting real about the topic nobody wants to discuss - suicide and suicidality. Drawing from both our professional training and Amanda's raw personal experiences, we're breaking down what it actually feels like, why it happens, and what truly helps (spoiler: it's not telling someone how selfish they are). CW- This episode discusses suicide, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm in detail. Please prioritize your wellbeing and skip if needed.

From "feminine energy" dating tips to refusing to tie your own shoes - we're unpacking how Princess Treatment content is actually political messaging in a pretty package.

In conversation, we tackle:

* The TikTok video that sent us over the edge: a woman who won't speak to waitstaff or check in for reservations

* How "feminine energy" morphed from dating advice into political messaging

* Why Princess Treatment might actually be a suppressed kink masquerading as lifestyle content

* The pipeline from "light a candle and relax" to "I don't tie my own shoes"

* How this content strategically targets single women and makes them feel "not woman enough"

* The real cost of romanticizing a time when women couldn't have credit cards

When did "no is a complete sentence" become the ultimate boundary flex? In this episode, we're unpacking why this oversimplified advice might actually be hurting your relationships.

In conversation, we tackle:

* Why "no is a complete sentence" works for sexual boundaries but not for declining dinner plans

* The uncomfortable truth that closer relationships require more explanation (and that's actually healthy)

* How rigid boundaries are creating lonelier people who wonder why they feel disconnected

* Why flexibility in boundaries is a strength, not a betrayal of yourself

* How to tell when someone deserves an explanation vs. when they've lost that privilege

* What to do when family members bulldoze your boundaries (spoiler: it's not just saying "no" harder)

This episode is for anyone who's tried to implement TikTok boundary advice and ended up feeling more isolated than empowered. Because sometimes the most revolutionary act isn't cutting people off—it's learning how to stay connected while still protecting yourself.
