Isolated Incident: Post-share shame & second-half feelings

The Story

This week, Stef reflects on the strange vulnerability that can come after telling your own story. From navigating Father’s Day and the complicated feelings that come with talking openly about her childhood, to wondering whether she is the only person who feels slightly outside of the traditions everyone else seems to understand, this episode explores the difference between feeling like an isolated incident and actually being one.

Along the way, she gets into her very non-therapeutic views on 90 Day Fiancé, the internet’s ability to make us numb, invisible text messages, and a direct question for the millennials: has anyone else quietly entered the second half? Between getting older, having too much lore, and realizing the plot is already very thick, Stef talks about what it means to stop doing everything for the plot and start figuring out what comes next.
