Britt talks about walking out of the life she thought she'd have and building The Glow Lab on the other side of it. Ana gets honest about stepmom life, the unconditional love that somehow comes with conditions, and how lonely trying to conceive can feel. Plus a $21 burrito, mothering without a mother, and why the brave choice always costs you the version of yourself you thought you'd be.

If this felt like your group chat, follow the show so you never miss a Thursday.
