About this episode
Chelsea is joined this week by Atsuko Okatsuka to talk about growing up with a mentally ill parent, not being afraid to ask for what you need, and the trouble with tampons. Then: A neurodivergent woman struggles to feel valued and worthy. A college grad decides to break up with his boyfriend - who’s also financially dependent on him. And a recovering bulimic wrestles with the shame of a disorder that’s cost her so much for so long. If you’d like to donate to Anna’s GoFundMe, click here ! * Need some advice from Chelsea?
